+## **Decentralized<br>Autonomous Cloud**
+
+ThreeFold is the world’s first system enabling anyone to become a cloud provider, empowering people and organizations to buy, sell, and use cloud resources autonomously and securely.
 
 |||
 
-## Decentralized. Autonomous. Internet Infrastructure.
-
-ThreeFold is a globally-distributed grid of storage, compute, and network capacity, acting as "no middleman" Internet resources between independent capacity providers and users.

-The current Internet is **outdated**. It is built on a centralized antiquated foundation, which hinders scalability and efficiency.
-
-<br>
-
-The current Internet is **not scalable**. Over 3 billion people lack reliable Internet access.
-
-<br>
-
-The current Internet is **not sustainable**. It consumes between 5-10% of the world’s energy.
-
-<br>
-
-Your digital life depends on hyperscale data centers controlled by a handful of tech giants. The majority of web 2 and even web 3 services are built on these foundations.

-## Internet Re-Imagined. Internet Re-Built.
-
-### Over a decade ago, a group of early Internet pioneers, <br>who understood the problems of the centralized Internet model first-hand, <br>came together to re-imagine the infrastructure for an open and decentralized Internet.
-
-### But we didn't just imagine it – we built it. Join us in evolving the Internet, together.

-
-The ThreeFold Grid is not just another protocol, it's a community-owned and managed low level decentralized Internet capacity layer and infrastructure, on top of which any protocol can run.

+### **Latency Reduction**
 
-We're open-source and decentralized, so we use a token called $TFT to fuel the movement, which is the medium of exchange<br>on the ThreeFold Grid. Buy $TFT to use grid services or for future utilization.
+For real-time apps, central cloud delay is prohibitive. Edge Cloud cuts latency locally.
