This can be hard to imagine, because the back end infrastructure that makes all of our apps and services tick is generally invisible to us. - -
- -This piece will be the first in a series where I'll be working to understand what the technical components are and how ThreeFold provides an alternative with distinct benefits for individuals, businesses, and for the planet as a whole. But don't worry, we'll start from the ground level and build up understanding in a way that's accessible to everyone. - -## Infrastructure for a New Internet - -So, what is the internet? In short, it is a network of interconnected devices that facilitates communication and commerce. These devices include our mobile phones and personal computers, but also the servers that store and process data to provide the end experiences we enjoy. Currently the vast majority of these servers live in massive data centers controlled by a handful of corporations. ThreeFold is changing this, by allowing anyone to connect computational and storage capacity to an open network that is available for all to use, known as the ThreeFold Grid. Our farmers do include some data centers operating on a smaller scale than major cloud providers, and also many individuals connecting nodes at their home or office all over the world. - -
- -On the ThreeFold Grid, servers are known as 3Nodes. A 3Node can be pretty much any modern computer system, offering capacity by running the Zero OS operating system. This is a major distinguishing factor, both from the traditional cloud computing world and also from other projects working to create decentralized networks in this space. - -## The OS for a Next Generation Cloud - -By starting from the operating system level, ThreeFold is able to provide a network with much stronger security and greater efficiency than anything that came before. Zero OS includes a collection of components, known as "primitives", which provide developers with everything they need. These primitives can be used to migrate existing applications from the legacy cloud and also to create new solutions that leverage the Grid’s capacity in unique ways. - -
- -We're all familiar with operating systems like Windows and MacOS that provide an interface to applications on our personal computers. The OS interacts with the underlying hardware to expose its capabilities in a way that's useful for both the software it hosts and also the humans who utilize it. For example, when you launch an app on your phone, it is the OS that's responsible for connecting it to data networks and providing access to peripherals like cameras or microphones. Things are a little different in the world of servers, where rather than through direct interactions, users benefit through the services provided to the applications we use. - -
- -To extend the example, when you open a messaging app it will connect to a server somewhere to check for new messages and relay any messages you are sending to the recipient. Here we can see a central issue that has inspired the design of ThreeFold’s technology: when our messages pass through servers controlled by others, it creates an open door for surveillance of all kinds. - -
- -ThreeFold farmers, on the other hand, have no administrative access to their nodes. Furthermore, each component offered by the ThreeFold Grid is built with the intention of allowing for secure and private storage, processing, and transmission of information. Of course, sharing is absolutely possible, but only when the creator of data or content chooses for it to happen. - -## Three Essential Resources - -In the world of cloud computing, we speak of three basic resources provided by servers: compute, storage, and network. The ThreeFold Grid provides various primitives in each of these categories, to fulfill all the same needs served by centralized cloud providers. While our offerings have the special properties discussed above, they are also highly compatible with the most popular tools and protocols currently used in the industry. This makes it relatively simple to migrate the back end applications, also known as "workloads", that provide a kind of connective tissue for all of the digital experiences we enjoy on a daily basis. - -
- -Workloads are pieces of software that provide services. If you upload a file to some cloud storage service, there could be a number of individual workloads orchestrated together in order to ensure the data you want to save is successfully transmitted to and stored in the back end system. We can understand the need for each kind of capacity by looking at the journey that your file might take in such a scenario. Starting on your device, a network connection, some processing, and finally storage capacity are all involved in providing the conditions that allow you to retrieve that file later. - -## Network - -Networking takes place over cellular connections, wifi, and wired internet lines to move data from one place to another. For our purposes here, those details aren't so important—we'll focus on what happens once communication is completed by whatever means. - -
- -When you connect to the cloud storage service, there are network workloads that transmit your data to the appropriate services that process and store it. This might consist of some routing and also authentication that ensures that you and only you access the files that are associated with your account. On the Grid, we provide primitives for secure peer to peer communication and also for allowing public access to back end services. - -## Compute - -Compute is what happens with data once it reaches its destination. Computers are mostly just fancy adding machines that take numbers and turn them into other numbers according to a set of specifications, which we call software. In our example, the compute step might involve compressing the information so it takes up less space and also deriving some useful statistics like the file's original size. - -
- -Of course, there are many details we're glossing over here, and the compute resources are ultimately responsible for providing much of our end user experience and the interactivity of the apps we utilize. 3Nodes offer a compute environment that natively runs the vast majority of workloads in use today. - -## Storage - -Storage, of course, is the disk space where data resides. It can be a little strange to think about, actually, that all of the information you've stored online actually has at least one physical location where it exists as many small electrical charges. On the Grid, application developers can access the disks of nodes directly, in a way that's optimized for energy efficiency. - -
- -We also have more advanced storage solutions that offer unparalleled security and low overhead redundancy, giving users the best possible guarantee that only they have access to their data and that it will actually be there when they go to retrieve it. - -## Looking Forward - -Taken together, network, storage, and compute are the raw elements that give life to the internet we know and love. On the ThreeFold Grid, these elements are expressed in a way that's both familiar for developers but also pushes the limits of what is possible in terms of technical evolution. - -
- -Thanks so much for joining me on this introductory overview of what the Grid provides. Please join me next time for a deeper dive on some of what we've covered and more specifics about how ThreeFold technology represents a quantum leap for cloud computing. diff --git a/content/blog/beyond_quick_fixes/beyond_quick_fixes.png b/content/blog/beyond_quick_fixes/beyond_quick_fixes.png deleted file mode 100644 index 8193be27e..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/beyond_quick_fixes/beyond_quick_fixes.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/beyond_quick_fixes/index.md b/content/blog/beyond_quick_fixes/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 117347601..000000000 --- a/content/blog/beyond_quick_fixes/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,71 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: beyond_quick_fixes -title: Beyond Quick Fixes - An Internet for Equality, Security, and Resilience -image_caption: technology -description: The Internet faces issues like limited access, security risks, and high energy use.

To name a few, about half of the global population doesn’t have fair or reliable access, data privacy, and cybersecurity threats are greater than ever before, and the current model is unsustainable for our planet. Despite advancements in technology, the Internet has been stuck in a cycle of quick fixes and patchwork solutions, unable to address these fundamental issues truly. - -
- -To secure an Internet that is equitable, sustainable, and resilient for all, we need a complete transformation – one that decentralizes control, reduces environmental impact, and empowers people and communities to take ownership of the digital world. - -#### A System Held Together by Temporary Fixes -The current Internet relies on "quick fixes" that offer temporary relief but fail to address deeper systemic problems. Security tools like firewalls and antivirus software only guard against known threats and require constant updates. Content delivery networks and bandwidth boosts improve performance but don't fix the limitations of the core infrastructure. Even regulations like GDPR protect privacy, but they don’t fundamentally change how data is managed or secured. Meanwhile, advances like 5G and fiber optics speed up connectivity but don’t solve the root issue of centralization. - -#### Centralization at the Root of Many Issues -Centralization is at the heart of many persistent issues, such as rising cybersecurity threats. Concentrating data in a few locations increases vulnerabilities, leading to more frequent data breaches and malicious attacks. Big tech companies keep building energy-hungry data centers to meet growing demand, but these are unsustainable and expensive to build. - -
- -While energy-efficient hardware is coming to market, it does little to solve these underlying inefficiencies. The deeper problem lies in the centralization of the Internet – a model that concentrates power in the hands of the few. Cloud services like AWS and Google Cloud help businesses scale but can be expensive, complex, and inaccessible to smaller businesses and underserved communities. - -
- -At the same time, new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) demand fast data processing at the edge. Still, centralized cloud platforms are too slow and inefficient to meet their needs. - -#### A Long-Term Cure: ThreeFold’s Solution -To truly fix a system as broken as the current Internet, we need more than temporary solutions – we need a complete transformation that attacks the problem at the root. - -
- -**Autonomous Infrastructure** - -
- -One of the solutions to the current Internet crisis is a shift toward autonomous infrastructure networks and data centers that can operate independently, with minimal energy consumption and maximum efficiency. ThreeFold's decentralized network uses small, autonomous nodes that can be distributed globally. This infrastructure lowers costs, increases reliability, and improves security while addressing the environmental issues tied to the centralized model. Through the ThreeFold Grid, the project is already providing a foundation for the sustainable Internet of the future. - -
- -**Quantum-Safe Systems** - -
- -With quantum computing on the horizon, how we secure our Internet infrastructure must evolve. The current Internet isn’t prepared for the threats that quantum computing could pose. ThreeFold recognizes this need and is already creating quantum-safe storage and network systems that protect sensitive information against future threats. This ensures a more resilient Internet that can stand up to tomorrow’s challenges. - -
- -**Decentralization for Equality** - -
- -Decentralization can only resolve the imbalance caused by today’s centralized cloud giants. By enabling anyone to host their own infrastructure, ThreeFold’s network levels the playing field and distributes power and opportunity more fairly across the globe. In ThreeFold’s vision, communities, businesses, and individuals can become Internet farmers, contributing to the global network and benefiting from it equally. -#### Moving Beyond Band-Aid Solutions: Building a Better Internet -The current Internet is broken, and temporary fixes won’t solve the underlying issues. What’s needed is a complete transformation that returns control to the people, reduces environmental impact, and creates a more equitable, accessible digital economy. We must move beyond the the quick fixes and embrace an Internet that is decentralized, sustainable, and secure for all. - -
- -ThreeFold is leading the charge by creating an Internet infrastructure that empowers individuals and communities, reduces energy consumption, and fosters innovation. The future of the Internet must reflect the principles of fairness, equality, and sustainability. - -
- -It’s time to fix the Internet with ThreeFold.

[Last time](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) we took a high level view of all that the Grid offers. This time, we'll be zooming in on storage, covering the low level components and how they can provide a familiar experience like the cloud "drives" and "boxes" we use today. -
-
-The ThreeFold Grid offers several different storage primitives that can be combined in various ways to meet the needs of developers and end users of Grid capacity. Ultimately, all storage services are a way of presenting the underlying hardware to software workloads in various ways, according to the desired features. ThreeFold has created a few unique storage offerings, providing distinct benefits over legacy cloud infrastructure. From the start, every component has been designed for optimal efficiency and they work together to offer an unprecedented level of security. -
-
-Our most basic storage primitive is a "volume", which simply offers some disk space to an application in a generic way. We'll focus more on the innovative solutions that are built on the Zero Database, or Zdb. These are compatible with existing use cases but also represent a quantum leap forward for privacy and security. They are called Zdbfs, Zstor, and QSFS. Let's take a look at each component and how they work together to provide a complete set of tools for developers building on the Grid. We'll also see why this matters to end users of services that are hosted on the Grid. - -## Zdb - -Zdb is a low level offering that implements with a subset of features from the popular Redis protocol. It is a key-value store, which means that information is indexed like a dictionary. Each "word" in the database is associated with a "definition" or piece of data. Zdb is super fast and efficient, along with operating in an "append only" manner. This means that all new data is added to empty space following the end of existing data, never overwritten. It's like writing in pen on paper without leaving any white space. -
-
-Append only has many advantages, including extending the life of certain hardware and offering archiving features out of the box. The disadvantage, of course, is that old data is retained even when no longer needed. However, this can be addressed by periodically "compacting" the data, to remove what's no longer needed and restructure what remains with the same level of efficiency. We use Zdb as a base layer for more complex storage implementations that benefit from these features. - -## Zdbfs - -While Zdb has all of those neat properties, it requires that applications utilize a specific database interface. To expand its capabilities, we have the Zdb Filesystem. With Zdbfs, the back end Zdb is exposed through the most common interface used for storing and retrieving data: a filesystem. This is the same format we're all familiar with from the file explorers on our computers. When running Zdbfs, a new "folder" appears on the system, allowing reading and writing to the connected Zdb without any concern for the underlying database. With Zdbfs, nearly all existing tools for working with data can be plugged in to and benefit from the advantages of Zdb. - -## Zstor - -So far, we've been discussing solutions that utilize storage space on a single node only. While this offers flexibility for developers with a variety of needs, it is also limited in the sense that the failure of a single node would result in the loss of all data. With that in mind, we offer the Zstor solution for spreading data across multiple nodes in a way that provides both resilience against failures and unprecedented security. -
-
-Zstor takes a single file as input, to be stored among a number of nodes as specified in its configuration. The system is flexible and able to cater to different needs for performance, redundancy, and geographical distribution. Understanding what happens behind the scenes requires a little math, but I'll provide as simple an explanation as I can. Zstor has a very unique property: it does not actually upload any of the user's data to the back end nodes, but it is able to reconstruct the data later based on the descriptive information that is stored. - -### The magic of erasure encoding - -Sounds like magic? Well, let's explore briefly how this is possible. Zstor relies on a technology known as erasure encoding, which was originally designed to protect data against errors that sometimes occur in the normal operation of computer hardware. Rather than simply making copies of the data as backups, a clever scheme is used to efficiently offer the same benefit. With basic redundancy, four extra copies would be needed to accommodate four failures without a loss of data. Erasure encoding can accomplish the same failure tolerance using less than half the space needed for the original data. -
-
-While erasure encoding can be implemented by storing the data itself along with some extra data known as "parity", it can also be implemented without storing the original data at all. As a simplified example, let's say that we want to store the number 13. First, we take each digit individually, 1 and 3. Next, we calculate 1 + 3 = 4 and 3 - 1 = 2. By storing 4 and 2, along with the instructions to reverse these calculations, we have everything needed to get back to 13. If we add one more equation, say 1 - 3 = -2, we can restore the original data using any two of the numbers we've computed. -
-
-Each of our values would be stored on separate nodes, while the instructions to recombine them would be stored in yet another location. If an attacker were to compromise one of these nodes, they would only have a number that's meaningless without the other elements. If a single node fails, the original data can be restored using the remaining nodes, and we can add a new node to bring us back to our desired state. By tuning these values, additional security or redundancy can be achieved. We might decide that we want 9 of 10 values to be present for reconstruction, representing a high level of security. Alternatively, a 2 of 10 arrangement would provide high redundancy, tolerating the failure of 8 nodes. - -## Quantum Safe Filesystem - -With all of these components working together, we have ThreeFold's flagship storage solution, the Quantum Safe Filesystem or QSFS. It uses Zstor to backup data written to a Zdbfs. This provides the convenient and highly compatible filesystem interface along with the exceptional security and redundancy benefits of Zstor. We call it quantum safe, because even an attacker with a quantum computer would not be able to decode users' data, if they managed to hack into one of the back end nodes—already an extraordinary feat given the exceptional security of Zero OS. - -## Bringing it home - -So, we've toured a good bit of technology which might be feeling a bit abstract at this point. Bringing this home, our front end experience with these technologies can feel no different than any of the "drives" and "boxes" we use to store our files in the cloud. In fact, ThreeFold has already developed a prototype file browser based on QSFS which has many cool features like editing documents and viewing media directly in the web interface. It's one piece of a full suite of solutions we're excited to showcase and invite the community to test soon. -

-I hope you found this piece informative and approachable. Thanks for joining me to learn and explore the wonderful world of ThreeFold technology. We'll cover more aspects of what makes it all tick in future parts of this series. Do you have questions or feel like chatting about what's possible with ThreeFold's technology?

We are working through the three major categories that make up cloud infrastructure: storage, compute, and network. This time, we'll be focusing on compute.* - -## What is compute? - -While [storage](https://threefold.io/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_pt2/) and network are fairly intuitive concepts – where data lives and how it gets around – compute is about the more mysterious realm of data processing and ultimately computer programming. Don't worry though, you don't need any technical abilities to gain a deeper understanding of what's happening behind the scenes when we use apps or interact with web sites. - -
- -As mentioned in the [first part](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) of this series, compute is basically what happens with data once it reaches its destination. Compute gives data relevance, by processing it according to the instructions provided by developers in their source code. When talking about what the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid) offers in terms of compute, it's mostly about how the code that developers produce gets executed in order to provide the services we enjoy. - -
- -With ThreeFold, this actually happens for the most part using the same tools and systems provided by traditional cloud services, meaning that it's highly compatible with existing cloud applications. What really makes the Grid different is that it's been designed to provide a level of efficiency and security that simply isn't possible without starting "from the ground up". Before we get into specifics of compute offerings built into ThreeFold's [Zero-OS](https://threefold.io/how-it-works/zero-os), let's briefly explore what computing is. - -## Playing with zeroes and ones - -Everything a computer's central processing unit does is based on a limited set of instructions that includes basic mathematical functions, logical operations, and ways to control the flow of a program. At their core, computers are really just automated adding machines that execute specified operations on whatever input they receive. It may be hard to believe that simple math creates all of the vibrant digital experience we enjoy, but at a certain low level, that's the truth. - -
- -Take a messaging app as an example. Within a computer, all of the text, emojis, and images we see are represented by numbers. When we search for some text within a chat, matches are determined by checking if the numbers corresponding to the words we typed are equal to some numbers corresponding to words that appear in the chat history. This information is then converted into the list of results we see on screen. - -
- -In this context, compute is mostly responsible for organizing all of our messages based on the individual or group we were talking with, the time that the message happened, and whether or not we've opened it yet. Typically, a messaging app stores data both on our local devices and on a back end in the cloud. Compute is also how the service decides to copy messages you sent on one device to other devices where you have the same app installed. - -
- -Here is an important distinction about how the ThreeFold Grid operates. In a traditional cloud environment, it is impossible to know for sure what is happening on the backend, even if you are the one running the service. The administrative access retained by the cloud provider can be used for surveillance and tampering that can be very difficult or impossible to detect. - -
- -Zero OS offers a unique assurance that no one can abuse the Grid in this way, because it operates autonomously with no facilities provided for human intervention. In order to utilize compute capacity on the Grid, individuals and organizations deploy their choice of several "primitives," or basic components, that provide an environment for code to be executed and create the magic we experience as online applications. - -## ThreeFold Compute Primitives - -Since we're getting a bit into the technical weeds here, we'll just take a brief look at each primitive and what makes it special. - -### Zmachine - -Zmachine is a lightweight virtual machine (VM) implementation that's been developed in a uniquely efficient way by ThreeFold. VMs are essentially computers within computers, allowing multiple operating systems to run on a single physical system. A common example is running the Windows operating system on a Mac that's already running MacOS. - -
- -In the cloud world, virtual machines are a classic way to manage complex deployments with flexibility and resilience – by packaging different components into different VMs that can be run side by side and moved between different physical servers with ease. While VMs have been replaced in many cases with the new container paradigm, which we'll cover next, they are still widely used and provide a simpler solution than containers that's sufficient for many use cases. - -### Flist - -The [Flist](https://threefold.io/how-it-works/zflist) is a next generation container format which extends the industry standard Docker container concept in an efficient and secure way. It is supported directly at the operating system level on Zero OS, and in its latest version on ThreeFold Grid 3.0, provides a unique advantage over traditional containers via the use of mini virtual machines. - -
- -Containers provide greater efficiency and flexibility than VMs, by sharing parts of the host operating system between containers rather than duplicating the full operating system for each component. This, however, means that containers typically come with less of an assurance that different workloads and their data remain isolated from each other. By employing mini VMs, the Flist concept provides better isolation than traditional container systems while retaining the advantages that containers offer over full VMs. - -### Kubernetes - -Containers usually represent small parts of a full solution, which are created, interconnected, and destroyed on an ongoing basis. Kubernetes is the industry standard container orchestration system, and it's used to manage many of the largest and most complex cloud deployments. Kubernetes solutions are defined through configuration files that specify the types of containers, how updates are handled, and the network architecture both between containers and with the outside world. - -
- -Multiple physical servers or VMs are typically used for a Kubernetes "cluster" which provides redundancy and scalability. The ThreeFold Grid provides a lightweight Kubernetes VM that can be used to create clusters according to specific needs. Kubernetes users can, for the most part, simply bring their existing configuration files and recreate their deployments on a Grid based cluster seamlessly. - -## Wrapping up - -Taken together, the compute primitives offer a comprehensive alternative to existing cloud compute providers. Users of Docker, Kubernetes, and virtual machines can bring their deployments to the Grid with a minimal amount of migration effort. This is distinct from other decentralized cloud projects, which either offer a single solution like Kubernetes or a completely new environment that developers must adapt their code to run within. - -
- -Better yet, each compute offering on the ThreeFold Grid benefits from the unique efficiency and security features of Zero OS, as well as the unique aspects of the primitives themselves. Thanks again for joining me on this journey into the wonderful world of ThreeFold technology. In the next episode, we'll cover the last element of the cloud infrastructure triad: network. diff --git a/content/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_4/building_a_new_internet_pt_4.png b/content/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_4/building_a_new_internet_pt_4.png deleted file mode 100644 index 5d4fd213c..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_4/building_a_new_internet_pt_4.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_4/index.md b/content/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_4/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 68ce04a7d..000000000 --- a/content/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_4/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,95 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_4 -title: "Building a New Internet From the Ground Up – Part 4: Network" -image_caption: The ThreeFold Grid Peer-to-Peer Technology -description: We're (finally) back with part 4, looking at the networking aspects of the ThreeFold Grid. -date: 2022-02-03 -taxonomies: - people: [scott_yeager] - tags: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] - categories: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] -extra: - imgPath: building_a_new_internet_pt_4.png ---- - -After introducing the ThreeFold Grid in [part one](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) and diving deep into [storage](https://threefold.io/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_pt2/) and [compute](https://threefold.io/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_3/), we’re back with part 4 to look at the networking aspects of the ThreeFold Grid. - -
- -Computer networking is a rather complex phenomenon with a thankfully intuitive outcome: you send messages from one place to another. We all understand that our digital devices become a lot less interesting when they are not connected to the Internet. However, networking is not just Internet, and when it comes to building a new Internet, it's important to understand what that means. - -
- -The existing Internet can be defined as a global set of networks and protocols that enable us to do things like load web pages and use apps that rely on external data. It depends on lots of underlying infrastructure, including fiber optic cables running along the ocean floor, our home routers and their connection to an Internet service provider (ISP), lots of cell service towers, and an increasing number of satellites. All of that makes the Internet possible, and it's still required for a new Internet to function. - -
- -[ThreeFold](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/) uses and builds new protocols to create a network that is interoperable with the existing Internet. These include private overlay networks, the [Planetary Network](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-our-planetary-network-works/1210) based on Yggdrasil, and various interfaces to the public Internet. Let's see how they work. - -## Private overlay networks - -Every deployment on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/threefold__tfgrid_primitives?id=network-uses-nu) belongs to a network, which is one of the Grid primitives. These networks allow data to be transmitted between workloads in a private and secure manner. They are called overlay networks because they pass traffic over some underlying network. That could be within a single node or between nodes on infrastructure provided by a farmer. The Grid uses software called WireGuard for this purpose, a simple, fast, and secure option among its alternatives. - -
- -By means of encryption, the traffic on a private overlay network is unreadable to any other device on that network. Likewise, the workloads within the private network have no visibility of the underlying network. Individuals who deploy workloads can access their networks over a secure tunnel, assuming that one of the nodes in the network is reachable from the public Internet. This is suitable for workload administration and some private applications. For public services and peer-to-peer communication, the ThreeFold Grid provides other solutions. - -## Planetary Network - -The [Planetary Network](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/technology/threefold__planetary_network?id=planetary-network) is an implementation of the [Yggdrasil Network](https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/about.html), which is a next generation approach to network routing. It is a peer-to-peer solution where all traffic is encrypted and takes the shortest path to its destination. These features make it highly compatible with the ethos and goals of the ThreeFold Grid: privacy, security, and efficiency. The design also allows nodes, workloads, and users to communicate freely without relying on centralized intermediaries. - -
- -Many [ThreeFold Farmers](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__farming_intro?id=threefold-farming) connect their nodes to a home router which blocks all inbound traffic by default. This is a sensible feature that doesn't interfere with most Internet usage (enthusiasts who want to host their own website or a gaming server might bypass this, for example). However, nodes on the Grid need to be reachable, especially in order to receive workload definitions from deployers. - -
- -The Planetary Network solves this by accepting inbound traffic through an outbound connection to a publicly accessible peer. You can think of this like making a call to an operator and then waiting for another call to be routed to you on that line. Even if your phone is set to block all incoming calls, someone can still reach you if they can reach the operator. - -
- -This also provides a way for workloads to communicate with one another and be reachable by users. Anyone can enable the Planetary Network on their own device to access sites and services in a very [secure and private](https://forum.threefold.io/t/critical-security-updates-for-apple-and-google-underline-need-for-secure-it-ecosystem/1271) way. While the ThreeFold Grid is designed to be fully interoperable with the existing Internet, the Planetary Network provides an alternative which can sit side by side in a seamless way. - -### Reliable Message Bus - -Using the Planetary Network, nodes and Grid users can send messages over the [Reliable Message Bus](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/manual__rmd). Notably, it is used for the delivery of workload definitions as mentioned earlier. [Zero-OS](https://forum.threefold.io/t/all-you-need-to-know-about-zero-os/1734) supports some other RMB messages as well, for doing things like checking available capacity on a node in real time. RMB is a general purpose protocol that can be used by developers in their applications. It queries the [ThreeFold Blockchain](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/) as a kind of address book for the Planetary Network, enabling nodes and users to find each other in a decentralized way. - -## Public IPs and Web Gateways - -Finally, let's see how the Grid can offer services over the public Internet using public IP addresses and [web gateways](https://threefold.io/tech/web-gateway/). Everytime we type a domain name into our browser, like threefold.io, it is resolved to an IP address. The browser then forms a connection with that address to retrieve the site we're looking for. Reviving a theme from earlier, that IP must be publicly reachable. - -### Public IPs - -We're in the midst of a shift from the older IPv4 standard to the newer IPv6 standard. While IPv6 has plenty of addresses for every device on the planet and many more, it hasn't been universally adopted yet, and IPv4 addresses are in short supply. You likely have one assigned to your router at home, and these days, even getting a second one from your ISP can be a difficult and expensive proposition. - -
- -The ThreeFold Grid allows farmers who own blocks of IPv4 addresses to rent them out to deployers. These addresses get attached to individual workloads which are then reachable over the public Internet. A deployer could then assign their own domain name to that IP and host a website there. This is a very flexible way to make Grid deployments publicly available, but it comes at a relatively high cost. - -### Web Gateways - -[Web gateways](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/technology/threefold__webgw) are another way to make workloads on the ThreeFold Grid available over the public Internet. In this case, the farmer may provide a domain name that points to one of their nodes which is publicly reachable. Deployers are then able to reserve a subdomain, like explorer.threefold.io is a subdomain of threefold.io, that routes traffic to their workload. It is also possible for a deployer to point their own domain to the gateway node which then routes traffic to the appropriate workloads. - -
- -We glossed over a bit in the earlier description of domain name to IP address resolution. In fact, multiple domains can point to a single IP address and this is common practice among existing web hosts. Adding similar functionality to the Grid helps to ease the demand for IPv4 addresses and is a lower cost solution for deployers than renting a dedicated IP. The web gateway also serves to enhance security and reliability of Grid-hosted services. - -
- -The gateway provides a connection from the public Internet to the secure private overlay networks that all workloads use. However, this is not a standard network connection but instead a network socket, which provides security through separation. This is something like passing along the contents of mail pieces without their envelopes. Web gateways also enable redundancy, as multiple gateways can point to the same workload, and multiple workloads can serve the same set of gateways. - -
- -When we say the ThreeFold Grid scales limitlessly, this is one of the ways that's true. Many nodes, many gateways, many applications, and many users can all fit into this model. Deployers can start with a single [virtual machine](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_vm?id=virtual-machine) and a single public IP like in the example I'll use to wrap up this piece below, then ramp up to a globally distributed and highly redundant system as their requirements grow. - -## Send, receive, complete - -Now we've seen how the ThreeFold Grid handles networking. From private and secure communication between workloads, to next generation [peer-to-peer](https://threefold.io/tech/peer-to-peer/) communication and full compatibility with the existing Internet, these offerings are comprehensive. Not only that, but they can be pretty darn fun to play with too. - -
- -In my own recent experience, I deployed a virtual machine on the Grid with a public IP and hosted a simple website with a map of nodes on the Grid that I'd been working on. I was able to quickly share it with some colleagues and members of the community. It went from a project I was tinkering with on my own computer to a live site on the Internet in a matter of minutes, thanks especially to the [networking features](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tf-deep-dive-session-5-threefold-grid-architecture/1756) of the ThreeFold Grid. - -
- -For the final piece of this series, we'll see how everything comes together to turn computer code into a meaningful digital experience.

They host data and applications, and facilitate connectivity. Major corporations have long dominated this space. When the Internet started to become mainstream, it was necessary to scale the infrastructure quickly to meet growing demand. Thus, with their vast amounts of resources, big companies were the ones to build this infrastructure and offer services on top. - -
- -For decades, this has been the paradigm – big companies offer commercial services, and businesses and individuals pay for those services. Endless features, sleek design, and high levels of customer support make it easy and efficient for the user and make the services worth paying for. However, as “users,” we have had to give up a great deal of control and the sovereignty of our data. Further, most of the investment in infrastructure has been done in already-rich countries, leaving large populations in emerging markets without fair and affordable access to Cloud and Internet services. And the economic benefit of the entire industry has mostly stayed in the hands of the few large corporations operating these systems. - -
- -But a new way forward has emerged. Decentralized and edge computing solutions, such as those offered by ThreeFold, aim to empower individuals, strengthen control and promote a more resilient and environmentally-friendly approach to internet and cloud services. Edge computing, a cornerstone of this paradigm shift, involves processing and storing data closer to the source rather than relying on centralized servers. Leveraging edge computing offers many benefits. By processing data closer to its source, it reduces latency for real-time applications, enhances privacy and security, and empowers regions with local data storage. It also optimizes bandwidth, reduces costs, enables seamless scalability, and contributes to environmental sustainability by minimizing energy consumption. Thus, this initiative directly addresses existing limitations and is essential to creating a better infrastructure. - -
- -The best part? We can achieve it together. - -### **Be a cloud service provider, not just a cloud consumer.** - -With ThreeFold’s autonomous technology, anyone can be a cloud service provider without any technical expertise. You can be the Internet, for yourself and for those around you. - -
- -Being a cloud service provider is a thrilling opportunity to tap into a market worth trillions of dollars – which today is being shared by a relatively small number of companies. This calls for change – a chance to level the playing field and allow more players to benefit from this lucrative industry. But it's not just about financial gain. By entering the cloud services space, you become a catalyst for change. You're not just providing a service; you're creating connections, bridging gaps, and fostering inclusivity. The people around you benefit, too. Lower costs, improved performance, data sovereignty and greater privacy are just some of the advantages they'll enjoy with your services. - -
- -Finally, by contributing to a more sustainable edge cloud, you're not only ensuring a better future for yourself, but also for the planet. The adoption of a decentralized autonomous cloud reduces energy consumption and minimizes the environmental impact of data transfer, contributing to global sustainability efforts and a greener future. - -
- -Best of all, you're not just investing in technology - you're investing in a sustainable, connected and rewarding future, powered by the people, for the people. It's ultimately good for you, good for the people around you, and good for the planet. - -### **How to become a cloud provider?** - -ThreeFold enables you to become a cloud service provider by hosting a 3node, bringing local capacity where people need it most and providing compute, storage and AI capabilities.

- -Internet security, cyber attacks, and data leaks are a global threat – and increasingly so as the world moves more digital, and smart people with malicious intent try to take advantage. But this is not normal, nor should it be. As consumers, we should be able to trust that our data is truly safe and secure. And today, we cannot. It's time we stand up for what is ours. - -
- -That's where ThreeFold comes in. - -
- -Many of today's issues around cyber security and data privacy come from the lack of innovation in the IT industry over the last decades and the reliance on centralized hyper-scale data centers. ThreeFold has disrupted this model in a few ways: - -
- -First, we started from the ground up. Some ThreeFold co-founders have been working in the cloud & storage space for over two decades, having built components of the cloud and Internet still used today. They knew that the only way to have a truly secure and data sovereign Internet was to rebuild the architecture and the technology components from scratch. So they did. A few years down the line, we've created a new operating system, a smart contract for IT, and a peer-to-peer network that can be scaled to anywhere by anyone. - -
- -Second, we removed people from the equation. IT has become so overly-complex that people are required in order to maintain it. Because of this, "backdoors" are needed to allow these gateholders to enter the systems and make necessary fixes. But this can lead to human error, and also allows people with malicious intent to make their way in as well. With Autonomous IT powering the ThreeFold Grid, the technology runs and heals itself, and drastically reduces the opportunity for humans to interfere. - -
- -And lastly, your data is owned by you. Rather than relying on centralized data centers, the ThreeFold Grid is an Internet grid made up by independent ThreeFold "Farmers" from around the world who plug in capacity from their home or office. While they own the hardware, they do not own the data inside. User data is stored across multiple devices, and proprietary data storage algorithms ensure that the data cannot be retrieved by anyone besides the user – not the farmer, and not even us. - -
- -As Einstein said, "We can't solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them." - -
- - -We have a lot more information in [our manual](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/technology/technology_toc.html) about the technology, but what we want to emphasize here with you is that we don't have to accept data leaks and hacking. There is an answer to the cybersecurity issues the world is facing.

With time the Internet empowered people to share information in a decentralized way. Shortly after, big companies like Facebook, Google, and Apple emerged, providing many solutions that revolutionized the way we live. The “sharing economy” has grown exponentially over the last 5-10 years. This is thanks to a more simplified information flow and well-developed technology, which: - -
- -- Enables a much easier integration of independent players into the sharing economy. -- Eliminates the need for extensive management and structure of marketplace operators. - -
- -We are entering a flat-structure economy. An economy where fewer managerial levels are needed for the system to function. New technologies such as blockchain and the Internet of Things facilitate this ongoing trend. Participants can now interact on a peer-to-peer basis, forming marketplaces and organizations according to pre-agreed, programmed contracts. - -## The current Internet is centralized - -Despite the growth in popularity for decentralized systems, organizations, and currencies, the Internet remains centralized. The centralization within the Internet industry brought many barriers to entry. Indeed, to compete in the highly competitive market of Internet capacity dominated by big IT companies, massive investment, and IT development are needed. - -
- -But what is really scary is that the current industry exploits the market tremendously. Data is officially the most valuable asset on earth for a few years, and about 20 companies rule over more than 80% of the cloud industry. In other words - these companies together have more than 80% of the world's information. In recent years, we noticed the dangers that can arise with the wrong intentions within the data industry with the 'Cambridge Analytica Scandal', also highlighted in the movie ['The Great Hack'.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX8GxLP1FHo) - -
- -ThreeFold has been developing technology that allows the decentralization of the Internet infrastructure - removing the need for data centers, and allowing anyone to take part in the Internet capacity market. Adding capacity to the ThreeFold Grid (TF Grid) makes you a ThreeFold Farmer (TF Farmer). The more decentralized the Internet gets, the more secure and effective it will become. The already is the largest grid of compute and storage in the world. - -## How To Participate - -The process of becoming a ThreeFold Farmer is very straightforward. Anyone can join the ThreeFold Grid by downloading the ThreeFold Zero-OS onto their nodes and connecting them to the ThreeFold Grid. - -
- -By doing this you will become an operator of a "micro data center" and with that earn ThreeFold Tokens. With or without experience in the field, anyone can become a ThreeFold Farmer. By becoming a ThreeFold Farmer, you empower a new neutral Internet that belongs to humanity - not corporations. - -

This is due to a range of factors, including accelerating technological adoption in emerging markets, the rapid digitization of business, the soaring volume of data generated by loT devices, the adoption of Al and machine learning technologies, and the increasing reliance on real-time data processing. - -### **The Dilemma of Centralized Cloud Infrastructure** - -From bustling cities to the remote corners of the globe, the need for reliable, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure is universal. But as this demand surges, it is increasingly clear that traditional centralized cloud infrastructures (mostly hyperscale data centers located in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific) are no longer sufficient to meet the evolving needs of today's digital landscape. Not only do data centers face an exponential increase in the amount of computing power needed globally (US data center demand alone is forecasted to surge [10% annually until 2030](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-telecommunications/our-insights/investing-in-the-rising-data-center-economy)), but confronted with emerging technologies and workloads, they also face inherent latency issues, bandwidth constraints, scalability challenges, and security risks. These limitations hinder the delivery of seamless and efficient cloud services to users worldwide. - -
- -The energy and sustainability challenges of these emerging technologies are demonstrated through the example of ChatGPT-3. Its training alone consumed [1,287 MWh of energy and emitted over 550 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent](https://www.wired.com/story/the-generative-ai-search-race-has-a-dirty-secret/). Such energy-intensive processes are not only a concern for the environment but also highlight the strain on traditional centralized cloud infrastructure. We need a more sustainable alternative to support the soaring demand for cloud services. - -### **Meeting Demand at the Edge** - -Edge computing emerges as a compelling solution to address the challenges facing centralized cloud infrastructure. It involves processing data closer to its source (where it is generated), typically at or near the "edge" of the network, where computing resources are deployed in proximity to the devices or sensors that generate the data. This proximity enables quicker data processing and minimizes latency, addressing the shortcomings of centralized data centers. As more devices and applications require processing and storage capabilities at the edge for improved performance, lower latency, and enhanced reliability, the demand for edge computing solutions continues to grow. - -
- -According to [Alexandra Rotaru](https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS50386323), senior research analyst at the International Data Corporation (IDC), edge computing is “one of the most resilient and attractive areas of investments, growing globally at a double-digit rate over the next five years”, underscoring its growing significance in meeting the evolving computational needs of modern enterprises and service providers. People are clearly looking for alternatives to the centralized data model with [Gartner](https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/what-edge-computing-means-for-infrastructure-and-operations-leaders) predicting that by 2025, 75% of enterprise-generated data will be processed and created outside of traditional centralized clouds and data centers. - -### **Hello ThreeFold** - -ThreeFold, a decentralized autonomous cloud infrastructure, does edge computing by definition. Our cloud is built from 3Nodes, hardware deployed by people locally, allowing data to be processed and stored closer to the source. Decentralized cloud infrastructure is a distributed network of computing resources that are not controlled by a single centralized authority. Instead, these resources are spread across a network of geographically dispersed nodes and managed collectively through decentralized protocols and technologies. As the largest and most advanced decentralized autonomous cloud network in the world, ThreeFold is a pivotal player in meeting growing global demand at the edge. - -
- -![Image](threefold_grid.png#mx-auto) - -
- -Let's dive deeper into why decentralized cloud infrastructure and edge computing offer a compelling solution to the challenges posed by centralized cloud infrastructure: - -
- -- **Reduced Latency**: By processing data closer to where it is generated, edge computing dramatically reduces latency, ensuring that applications and services respond swiftly to user inputs. Whether it's streaming high-definition video, conducting real-time financial transactions, facilitating real-time interactions in VR and AR settings or controlling IoT devices, minimizing latency is essential for delivering a seamless user experience without delays. - -- **Increased Energy Efficiency**: Processing data closer to the source minimizes the energy expended in transmitting data over long distances. Read more about ThreeFold’s energy efficiency [here](https://www.threefold.io/blog/energy-efficiency-explained/). - -- **Improved Bandwidth Efficiency**: Edge computing optimizes bandwidth usage by minimizing the need to transmit data over long distances to centralized data centers. This conserves network resources, cuts costs and enables more efficient data transfer, particularly in regions with limited connectivity or bandwidth constraints. - -- **Enhanced Scalability**: As devices multiply, centralized data centers often face data overload. Edge computing resolves this by distributing processing tasks closer to the data source, which improves scalability and ensures efficient handling of increasing workloads. - -- **Data Privacy and Security**: Data is dispersed across a distributed network of nodes rather than being stored within a single centralized location. This distributed approach reduces the risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, and single points of failure, bolstering the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information. - -- **Support for Real-Time Applications and Emerging Workloads**: Edge computing enables the seamless deployment of real-time applications and services, including immersive virtual environments (metaverse), AI-driven analytics, and IoT ecosystems. - -

This unprecedented leap in efficiency heralds a new era of streamlined storage practices, ensuring optimal utilization of resources. - -## Efficient Node Management - -Energy conservation takes center stage with our node management tool, Farmerbot. Embracing the principle of 'on-demand' functionality, nodes remain dormant when idle, conserving energy resources. Through the implementation of Farmerbot, these nodes seamlessly power on and off as required, minimizing unnecessary consumption without compromising accessibility. - -## Automated Autonomy - -We're saying goodbye to human intermediaries and centralized control centers. Our system operates autonomously, governed by smart contracts that orchestrate every facet of its functionality. This automated ecosystem not only eradicates the need for constant human intervention but also ensures streamlined operations, optimizing efficiency at every turn. - -## Peer-to-Peer Advancement - -The conventional route from sender to recipient often travels extensive distances, bouncing through data centers and intermediaries. Our peer-to-peer network revolutionizes this process by forging direct connections, seeking the shortest path between sender and recipient. By circumventing unnecessary detours, this approach minimizes energy expenditure and data latency, elevating both speed and efficiency. - -## Final Thoughts - -The dawn of ThreeFold's decentralized Internet grid beckons a transformative era in digital infrastructure.

-While watching it, I couldn’t help but think how unfair it is that in today’s digital society, people are being treated like products, because there is no such thing as a ‘free’ platform without YOU being the product. What did reassure me, is that people are sick of having their data used this way. But what they might not know, is that the internet problem is bigger than ‘just’ data protection. -
-
-The Internet is growing at an exponential rate. To service this demand, a few large companies (Google, Amazon, Alibaba, Facebook, etc.) have built and continue to build supersized, power-hungry and centralized data centers. These data centers make up the majority of all Internet capacity available today. However, the Internet is expanding much faster than datacenters and the planet can cope with. -
-
-In addition to that, the Internet is extremely centralized, with most of these data centers being located in the US. Think of it like electricity. If consumers in, for example, Turkey had to use electricity generated in the US, it would be too expensive and inefficient, because it is too far away. The transmission lines would be too strained and losses and repairs would make it unsustainable. Capacity is like electricity. When centralized, it becomes too expensive and wasteful for remote users. - -## So what is the solution to these problems? - -The Internet needs to be more distributed, cost-effective, neutral, and sustainable. ThreeFold has developed such a new technology, the ThreeFold Grid (Grid) and a token which enables all this to happen. -
-
-Combining the values of the ThreeFold Foundation (freedom, equality and fairness) with the technology developed by TFTech (Zero-OS, Zero-Chain, 3Bot) and a digital currency called the ThreeFold Token (a decentralized digital currency and means of payment to exchange autonomous and decentralized Internet services) we believe that we have all the tools in order to actually make a difference in tomorrow's digital world.

What started as a small, decentralized network designed for sharing knowledge and fostering collaboration has evolved into a vast, complex system that influences almost every aspect of modern life. However, this journey has been marked by significant shifts in the structure and nature of the internet, leading us to a critical juncture today. - -#### The Birth of the Internet -In the 1960s, the internet was born from a simple yet revolutionary idea—a peer-to-peer network that allowed researchers and institutions to connect and share information freely. This early version of the internet was decentralized, with no central authority controlling the data flow. It was a place where collaboration and open communication flourished, laying the groundwork for a digital world built on trust and transparency. The internet was seen as a tool for empowering individuals and fostering a global exchange of ideas, embodying a vision of a free and open digital space. - -#### The Internet Changes -As the internet expanded throughout the 2000s, it became a global phenomenon, with millions of users coming online and businesses quickly recognizing its potential. However, this rapid growth came at a cost. The internet, once a bastion of free and open communication, began to be dominated by commercial interests. Companies saw the vast potential for profit in the digital world and began to exert control over the internet's infrastructure and the data flowing through it. - -
- -This shift toward commercialization led to a more centralized and controlled version of the internet. The original spirit of the internet—one of trust, openness, and decentralized collaboration—started to fade. User data became a valuable commodity, often exploited for profit, and the internet grew increasingly insecure. The once-free and collaborative space became a battleground for control, and the idea of a decentralized internet seemed to be slipping away. - -#### A New Era for the Internet -Today, in 2024, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in the history of the internet. While it has become an essential part of our lives, the current model is not sustainable. Issues like data privacy, security, and the environmental impact of massive data centers have highlighted the need for change. - -
- -In response to these challenges, a new vision for the internet is emerging—one that seeks to restore the principles of sovereignty, security, and sustainability. This vision is being realized by developing ultra-secure, green, scalable, and user-friendly autonomous cloud technologies. These innovations aim to create a more sovereign internet, where users have control over their data and where the infrastructure is more environmentally responsible. - -
- -The goal is to return to the original ideals of the internet—open-sourced and decentralized—but with the added benefits of modern technology. By embracing these new technologies and renewing our commitment to decentralization and openness, we can create a better, more secure internet for everyone. - -#### Redefining the Internet: ThreeFold's Path to Change -The internet’s evolution from a modest, collaborative network to a global powerhouse has been revolutionary, yet this growth has come at a cost. Originally built on principles of openness, decentralization, and the free exchange of information, the internet has increasingly become centralized, commercialized, and fraught with privacy and security concerns. Today, despite its immense power, the internet has strayed from the visionary ideals that once guided its creation. However, there is a growing movement to reclaim the internet’s original promise. By revisiting these foundational principles and embracing new technologies, we have the opportunity to build a digital world that is secure, sustainable, and true to the vision of a free and open internet. - -
- -This is where ThreeFold comes in. ThreeFold is pioneering a fundamental shift in how we approach the internet and cloud infrastructure. By building from the ground up, ThreeFold is creating a decentralized autonomous cloud that is truly transformative. Unlike traditional cloud services, which are often centralized and controlled by a few major players, ThreeFold’s infrastructure is distributed across a network of 3Nodes—hardware deployed locally by individuals and communities worldwide. - -
- -This decentralized approach offers significant benefits: it enhances security by reducing single points of failure, lowers costs by leveraging local resources, increases energy efficiency by processing data closer to the source, and provides unmatched scalability to meet global demand. By empowering individuals to contribute to and benefit from this network, ThreeFold is helping to create a sovereign internet—one that is owned by the people, for the people. - -
- -ThreeFold’s vision goes beyond technology: it’s about returning to the core values that once defined the internet. By fostering genuine collaboration, respecting privacy, and ensuring that the internet remains open and accessible to all, ThreeFold is helping to usher in a new era. In this era, the internet will not only connect us but also empower us, enabling a more equitable, secure, and sustainable digital future. diff --git a/content/blog/farming_pools/farming_pools.png b/content/blog/farming_pools/farming_pools.png deleted file mode 100644 index 9e56ba160..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/farming_pools/farming_pools.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/farming_pools/index.md b/content/blog/farming_pools/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 2d5f4f979..000000000 --- a/content/blog/farming_pools/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,35 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: farming_pools -title: "Unveiling Farming Pools" -image_caption: Farming Pools -description: Farming Pools mark a significant step towards ensuring reliability, fairness, and robust governance within our ecosystem. -date: 2023-12-05 -taxonomies: - people: [sam_taggart] - tags: [community, decentralization, farming] - categories: [community, decentralization, farming] -extra: - imgPath: farming_pools.png ---- - -With a long-term focus on version 4.0, and a move towards commercialization, we are embracing several new strategies to ensure more reliability and trust. Farming Pools are an innovative mechanism designed to foster better governance and equitable participation within our network. - -
- -Farming Pools represent a shift in our ecosystem. Every version 4.0 Farmer will need to join a Farming Pool, marking a collective commitment to uphold stringent service level agreements. These agreements will encompass crucial aspects like uptime, response time, and available bandwidth. Furthermore, adherence to a service agreement and specific terms and conditions is paramount, ensuring a standardized quality of service across the network. - -
- -Empowering our Farmers, the introduction of Farming Pools grants them the authority to set pricing for their offered services. Whether it's storage, network capabilities, or computing capacity, Farmers hold the reins in determining the value they provide. - -
- -In addition, Farmers will now have the option to stake tokens on their farms. This strategic staking mechanism introduces an additional layer of accountability — a 'slashing' mechanism. In the event of failing to meet the agreed-upon service level commitments, a proportion of their stake may be forfeited. This not only incentivizes reliability but also fortifies the overall quality and dependability of our network. - -
- -Central to the Farming Pools is a regulated approach. It provides a centralized platform facilitating staking, token holding, as well as regulated buying and selling of tokens. This centralized stance ensures oversight and governance while maintaining the decentralized ethos that defines our network. - -
- -Farming Pools, therefore, mark a significant step towards ensuring reliability, fairness, and robust governance within our ecosystem. By uniting Farmers under stringent agreements, empowering them to set prices, and introducing accountability through token staking, we fortify the foundation of a network built upon trust, integrity, and collective responsibility. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/ground_up_innovations/ground_up_innovations.png b/content/blog/ground_up_innovations/ground_up_innovations.png deleted file mode 100644 index d0200bfa8..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/ground_up_innovations/ground_up_innovations.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/ground_up_innovations/index.md b/content/blog/ground_up_innovations/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index a04257625..000000000 --- a/content/blog/ground_up_innovations/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,71 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: ground_up_innovations -title: "From the ground up: Three inventions that make ThreeFold possible" -image_caption: Ground Up Innovations -description: The future of the Internet lies in breaking free from the constraints of outdated, centralized systems and embracing a new paradigm. -date: 2024-07-24 -taxonomies: - people: [sam_taggart] - tags: [grid,decentralization,tech,why] - categories: [grid,decentralization,tech,why] -extra: - imgPath: ground_up_innovations.png ---- - -Building a cloud and internet infrastructure from the ground up is no easy, or quick, task. But if we want a truly different way forward, there is no other way, really. We do what we do, the way we do it, because we cannot continue to put “band-aids” on problems which require a much deeper and thoughtful approach. - -
- -*Failing to address systemic flaws at their root cause only creates more issues.* - -
- -This is how, in part, the Internet today became a complex, unsafe, inefficient, highly-centralized system in the first place – where many of the biggest platforms also own the infrastructure and profit from us, the “users.” - -
- -This is why we see outages and shutdowns and data hacks and masses of people migrating from platform to platform in search of greater privacy. But remember, you’re not “De-Googling” yourself if the alternative you migrate to runs on Google or some similar centralized cloud infrastructure. - -
- -This is why we have built a decentralized autonomous cloud infrastructure from the ground up. To enable a sovereign Internet which is owned by the people – safe, secure, and can scale to billions, all while driving cost and energy consumption down dramatically. - -
- -So let’s take a look at what makes this all possible: - -### **A new bare metal operating system** - -It is challenging to use current Linux-based operating systems safely and efficiently on the edges of the Internet. They require central management, involve excessive complexity, and prove difficult to update and maintain, resulting in numerous security vulnerabilities. To revolutionize the internet, we had to rethink how we host our applications, essentially reinventing the concept of a cloud-based operating system. - -
- -[Zero OS](https://threefold.info/tech/tech/zos_innovation.html) is an innovative operating system, retaining the Linux kernel but fundamentally redesigned for heightened security, efficiency, and support for true peer-to-peer and decentralized workloads. This unique operating system doesn't require installation on hard disks or SSDs; it remains stateless, consistently up to date, and autonomously managed without human intervention. Its design enables scalability to millions of nodes and self-healing application delivery, opening new possibilities in system resilience and reliability. - -### **A quantum safe storage system** - -Traditional backend storage systems have their roots in centralized environments, focusing on low-latency and closed security setups. However, these characteristics make them less suitable for use in decentralized cloud contexts. - -
- -Newer generation storage systems such as protocol-driven or blockchain-based solutions may face scalability and performance limitations and may not fulfill certain critical requirements that we consider essential. - -
- -[Quantum Safe Storage](https://threefold.info/tech/tech/zstor_innovation.html) is an ultra-scalable system capable of storing data indestructibly and efficiently. Previous versions of this system created by our team are widely used to store Zetabytes of information by large organizations. - -### **A quantum safe network system** - -The current centralized state of the internet poses significant security risks, with compromised routers and growing cyber threats (trillions of USD per year now), making everyone vulnerable to hacking. Industry responses involve disabling original features, hindering true peer-to-peer connectivity and personal server capabilities. Workarounds and system hacks have become the norm. - -
- -[Mycelium](https://threefold.info/tech/tech/mycelium_inno.html) is an overlay network layer designed to enhance the existing internet infrastructure while remaining compatible with all current applications. It empowers true peer-to-peer communication. Mycelium can look for the shortest path, has a built-in naming and CDN (Content Delivery) system, and can survive disaster and network cuts much more efficiently as is possible today. - -### **The only way** - -The future of the Internet lies in breaking free from the constraints of outdated, centralized systems and embracing a new paradigm. By fundamentally addressing the root causes of inefficiency, insecurity, and centralization in today's systems, we can create a more resilient and equitable digital world. - -

- -In this blog, we will introduce you to the overall cycle of testing on the TFGrid. Before releasing anything to the mainnet, TF engineers test three different networks: Devnet, Qanet, and Testnet. Testing also continues on the Mainnet even after the release of the updates. Today, we will go through the major steps of this process. - -### **But first – why is testing important?** - -Testing upgrades as they're developed ensures we have a stable operation of the TFGrid that is constantly optimal for our community. It lets us see what works well and what still needs fixing. By the time our community gets these upgrades, they've been tested many times to make sure they're top-notch. - -
- -When it comes to testing the developments on the ThreeFold Grid, we need to be careful, especially when we're doing separate tests from the different networks. If we don't focus on testing the developments independently, testing can become a lot slower and more complicated. - -
- -**Different networks for testing:** We test on 3 different networks before we release anything on Mainnet. - -![Image](./testing_roadmap.jpg) - -
- -### **Testing all Networks sequentially** - -Our journey through these networks follows a well-defined path. - -
- -First, verification starts on Devnet with the dev team leading the validation process. Once the development team approves, we release the grid to the Qanet for further examination. - -
- -The QA teams conduct iterative test runs within Qanet, leading to a Bug Assessment Meeting to address reported issues. If the release is deemed ready for deployment, it moves to Testnet for an extended observation period. - -
- -Following two weeks of rigorous testing on Testnet releases advance to Mainnet once a community vote approves a Grid Enhancement Proposal, indicating readiness for widespread adoption. As the release enters Mainnet, QA teams begin new test iterations to ensure a smooth transition for user accessibility. - -![Image](./testing_cycle.png) - -
- -Testing is done both manually and automated: - -
- -**Manual testing:** At the core of our testing process is the thorough manual inspection of components using the advanced [Testlodge](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testlodge.html) tool. - -
- -**Automation Testing:** We also run Automated scripts on GitHub actions daily; to give us an early indication about the TFGrid. - -
- -We will go through these two types of testing further in part two. - -### **Conclusion** - -The testing journey within the ThreeFold Grid is intentionally and necessarily thorough, a delicate balance between manual precision and automated finesse, all designed to provide a strong and reliable cloud infrastructure for our users. Next time, stay tuned for more updates on how we conduct these tests and how they help us improve the grid's reliability.

Now, we continue our discovery path through the detailed testing process. In this post, we go deeper into two different ways of testing: Manual and Automation. Each is important, combining to ensure a strong and dependable TF Grid. - -### **Manual Testing** - -The thorough [manual inspection](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testing_readme.html?highlight=manual%20testing#manual-testing) of components using the [Testlodge tool](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testlodge.html) is at the core of our testing process. This tool acts as our guide, leading us through an array of test cases customized for each grid component. We guarantee comprehensive coverage of all grid components by organizing tests manually in specific test suites. - -
- -When a release candidate arrives from the development phase, our manual test executions come into play. Through meticulous examination, we confirm the smooth operation of each component. Any inconsistencies found during testing are promptly recorded using GitHub issues, facilitating quick resolution in future iterations. - -
- -Components such as Dashboard & Deployments, Mycelium, TF-Robot, Terraform, TF-Grid-Client, TF-Grid-Proxy, TF chain, Caprover, Kubernetes, and Farmerbot are examples of what undergoes our scrutiny. - -### **Why Manual Testing is Important:** - -Any new changes added to the grid should first undergo manual testing before going through automation testing. The fundamental principle of testing is that “100% automation is not possible” which makes manual testing necessary. - -
- -The main idea behind manual testing is to make sure that the grid is free of errors and that it is operating following the stated functional requirements in the manual and documentation. Additionally, it ensures that developers fix reported faults and that testers retest them. - -
- -Also, manual testing simulates the real-time behavior of the end user and how they think when they use our TF Grid solution, which allows us to do better UX design to meet everyone's expectations. - -
- -![Image](./navigating_levels.png#mx-large) - -### **Automation Testing** - -[Automation scripts](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/collaboration/testing/testing_readme.html#automation-testing) are essential in strengthening our testing capabilities and our manual efforts. By utilizing [GitHub actions](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tfgrid-sdk-ts/actions), we run automated scripts daily to gain early insights into the health of the TF Grid. Our in-house automation tool, [TF-Robot](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/developers/tfrobot/tfrobot.html?highlight=TFRo#), leads the deployment process on the grid with exceptional efficiency. - -
- -TF-Robot is a cornerstone of automation, streamlining the deployment of various virtual machines across the ThreeFold Grid. With its capacity to manage large-scale deployments and offer multiple retries for unsuccessful attempts, TF-Robot enables users to navigate the grid seamlessly. Additionally, we leverage its functionalities to ensure the viability of registered nodes by deploying on active nodes regularly to confirm their suitability for deployment. - -
- -We use GitHub Actions to run our automated tests. These tests – ranging from testing solution deployments, to the status / health of all nodes, to the dashboard UI – are triggered by certain behaviors or activities: - -
- -- Any code change triggers certain tests -- Tests also run during code reviews -- Some tests run every day, like the Grid Client Nightly and Grid Client Tests -- Other tests run every 6 hours, like Mass Deployments - -### **Why Automation Testing is Important:** - -Automation testing speeds up the testing process significantly compared to manual testing. Automated tests can run anytime, including nights and weekends, allowing for continuous testing and faster development cycles. This reduces testing time and labor costs, making it a cost-effective approach in the long run. -Automation helps identify issues and defects in the software early in the development process, making them easier and less expensive to fix. Automated test scripts are reusable and can be used throughout different phases of development, even if there are changes in the software's user interface. - -
- -Sometimes, a node may be misconfigured or have defective hardware. In our automation testing, we run tests like Mass Deployer or TF-Robot, which loop over all online nodes and attempt deployments on them to detect problematic nodes or misconfigured ones early. - -
- -Additionally, nightly test runs for different test suites (dashboard UI, TS client) can detect incorrect code deployments early and alert developers to fix the pushed code that may affect unexpected parts of the project. - -### **How to Report an Error/Issue/Bug Found While Testing:** - -All errors found during testing are reported [on GitHub](https://github.com/threefoldtech/tfgrid-sdk-ts/issues). Based on findings, the repository has two templates to choose from: Bug Report and Feature Request. Follow these steps: - -
- -1. Click on the provided GitHub link. -2. Choose "New Issue." -3. Select either of the templates and fill it out accordingly. -4. Click on "Submit." - -
- -One of our developers will then work on resolving the issue. We have already fixed over 1,200 issues to date. - -
- -Testing is a key aspect of maintaining a reliable cloud infrastructure. Because testing is such a thorough process, we can catch and correct bugs before they make their way to mainnet, our “production” environment. A big thanks to all those who have contributed to testing the grid to date, and we invite anyone to [join the testing community](https://t.me/threefoldtesting) and take part in ensuring a smooth and reliable ThreeFold Grid. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/how_to_test_the_grid_part_two/navigating_levels.png b/content/blog/how_to_test_the_grid_part_two/navigating_levels.png deleted file mode 100644 index 1cc9b8885..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/how_to_test_the_grid_part_two/navigating_levels.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/in_search_of_a_better_internet/in_search_of_a_better_internet.png b/content/blog/in_search_of_a_better_internet/in_search_of_a_better_internet.png deleted file mode 100644 index c7c9a79f6..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/in_search_of_a_better_internet/in_search_of_a_better_internet.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/in_search_of_a_better_internet/index.md b/content/blog/in_search_of_a_better_internet/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index b9fcf5f8e..000000000 --- a/content/blog/in_search_of_a_better_internet/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,52 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: in_search_of_a_better_internet -title: "The Internet that connects us also manipulates us.

- - -The Internet is one of humanity’s [greatest inventions](https://coincodex.com/article/14083/threefold-host-the-cloud-at-your-house/). In its early days, it used to be [free and decentralized](https://theconversation.com/web-3-0-the-decentralised-web-promises-to-make-the-internet-free-again-113139) by nature. No single entity was able to control access to the web as it was built on the foundation of a peer-to-peer network of nodes owned by developers and researchers. Until the dot-com era. Throughout the early 2000s, large corporations took over the web. New platforms like YouTube and MySpace were launched and new infrastructure needed to be built at an extreme pace, starting the data revolution and changing the digital landscape forever.  - -
- -Twenty years down the line, the Internet’s architecture has become highly centralized – owned by a handful of large corporations that act as the [gatekeepers](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/08/28/who-owns-the-internet) of our digital world. What was once an open and free platform accessible to anyone has long since built up barriers and lost its neutrality. Users are trapped in a cyberspace that exploits their personal data and allows censorship, hate speech, disinformation and political targeting to thrive.  - -## Going down the Rabbit Hole - -The Wall Street Journal’s [investigation](https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039) “The Facebook Files” and The New York Times’ audio series “[Rabbit Hole](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/podcasts/rabbit-hole-prologue.html)” are only some of the latest examples that depict the shocking impacts of the manipulation, mental health problems, and extremism that social media algorithms are fuelling. Nevertheless, these incidents are only a glimpse into all the ways we’re being affected and influenced about the way we see the world – by the tech giants and their algorithms. Tech giants like Google and Facebook have been surrounded by a constant stream of data privacy [scandals](https://www.wired.com/story/should-big-tech-own-our-personal-data/) as more and more whistleblowers expose their misconduct. However, there are plenty of other, hidden players using the tools and algorithms of social media platforms for their own agendas. - -
- -[The Great Hack and the Social Dilemma](https://filmthreat.com/features/4-thought-provoking-movies-on-digital-privacy-and-security/) are great documentaries that shed light on how the Internet as we know it became compromised. They depict how algorithms are used to mine user data, control information feeds and manipulate our digital experiences. The [Trump Election and the Brexit vote](https://www.politico.eu/article/cambridge-analytica-chris-wylie-brexit-trump-britain-data-protection-privacy-facebook/) were heavily influenced by private companies like [Cambridge Analytica](https://www.theguardian.com/news/series/cambridge-analytica-files) that manipulated mass audiences through social media. - -
- -By purchasing thousands of personal data points collected by social media platforms and analyzing them, companies like Cambridge Analytica are able to not only predict but influence the behaviour of each and everyone of us. Data collection and analysis to such an extent allow these companies to craft and push perfectly targeted messages to users in a way that’s optimized to sway their opinions in favour of whatever agenda they have.   - -## Can a neutral and free Internet still exist? - -On 24th of March 2022, the European Parliament and Council negotiators agreed upon the [Digital Markets Act](https://variety.com/2022/digital/global/facebook-google-amazon-apple-digital-market-act-europe-regulation-1235214516/) (DMA). It seeks to give users more choice by demanding the most popular apps to open up and interoperate with smaller apps. Moreover, the act aims to ensure a fairer market competition by prohibiting certain gatekeeper practices like self-preferencing and targeted advertising. This set of new EU regulations is likely to impact the daily business of tech giants significantly once it becomes law. While the [DMA](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20220315IPR25504/deal-on-digital-markets-act-ensuring-fair-competition-and-more-choice-for-users) promises to mitigate some of the issues discussed, it is doubtful that the act will be enough to fundamentally change the current system. This is a step in the right direction, but much more needs to be done. - -
- -The Internet has become our digital home. It’s impacting our lives in many ways by creating new opportunities, and changing how we communicate and connect. Therefore, it is crucial to restore the Internet’s neutrality to ensure a fair and equal environment. We need an Internet where we can rely on data security and privacy. An Internet where we’re empowered to truly and completely have ownership of and control of our own data. An Internet that empowers us with digital sovereignty. - -
- -The Internet used to be a free movement of culture and the Web. It started with an open-source and peer-to-peer vision to connect people. And while Web 3.0 projects are looking to liberalize the Internet as we know it, most of them still rely on centralized Web 2.0 infrastructure to some degree. The world needs better, holistic solutions. ThreeFold is realizing the initial vision and promise of the Internet as an open-source, peer-to-peer planetary mesh network of nodes owned by humanity. It’s a 100% open-source and community-driven project that builds the critical, neutral infrastructure for a decentralized world – one that is built and owned by the people. With ThreeFold, individuals and organizations are empowered to store their data and run their applications on a peer-to-peer network of nodes in a way that ensures their data will not be manipulated, hacked or lost.  - -
- -Powered by a global community, ThreeFold is the world’s largest peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure with a few thousand 3Nodes connected globally and the neutral foundation for [any current and future IT workload](https://medium.com/authority-magazine/the-future-is-now-kristoff-de-spiegeleer-of-threefold-on-how-their-technological-innovation-will-7acc0e51c365). ThreeFold is now on the verge of opening up a new Internet era free from censorship, user tracking and privacy breaches. And anyone can participate in ThreeFold’s model by building or buying a 3Node, and connecting Internet capacity from their home or office – creating a fully decentralized Internet.  diff --git a/content/blog/internet_misconceptions/index.md b/content/blog/internet_misconceptions/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 5cdb6c5d7..000000000 --- a/content/blog/internet_misconceptions/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,89 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: internet_misconceptions -title: "The Truth Behind Internet Misconceptions" -image_caption: Internet Misconceptions -description: In an age where, for better or worse, our online interactions shape much of our daily lives, understanding the true nature of the Internet is more and more important. -date: 2024-08-30 -taxonomies: - people: [sam_taggart] - tags: [grid,decentralization,tech,why] - categories: [grid,decentralization,tech,why] -extra: - imgPath: internet_misconceptions.png ---- - -It’s been years that the ThreeFold team has been at this work of evolving the Internet in a fair and just way. We know how the Internet works and the challenges it faces, and because of this, we have been able to do the work of upgrading the Internet with a ground-up solution. - -
- -But the Internet, despite its omnipresence and influence on our daily lives, is often taken for granted and mostly misunderstood. Here we’d like to present some of the common misunderstandings about the Internet and the actual realities behind them. - -
- -**"The Internet is the same as the web."** Many people confuse the Internet with the World Wide Web. The Internet is the global network of interconnected computers, while the Web is just one of the services that runs on the Internet, allowing access to websites and web pages. - -
- -**"The Internet is an infinite, vast, unified space."** While the internet is vast, it's not infinite. There are boundaries, such as the "deep web" (content not indexed by search engines) and the "dark web" (encrypted networks), where different rules and content exist. It is a scattered network, not one entity. - -
- -**"Data in the cloud doesn’t have a physical location."** There’s a common belief that data stored in the cloud is purely virtual. However, your data is stored in physical data centers around the world, occupying space and consuming energy to stay online. - -
- -**"Putting information online has minimal environmental impact."** Many believe that digital activities, like uploading files or streaming, are environmentally neutral. In reality, these actions require energy-intensive data centers, and keeping our digital lives running contributes to significant carbon emissions. - -
- -**"All websites are equally accessible."** [Net neutrality](https://www.eff.org/issues/net-neutrality) is a key principle that has been challenged in recent years. Without it, Internet service providers (ISPs) could potentially prioritize or block access to certain websites, affecting the open nature of the Internet. - -
- -**"The Internet is already decentralized."** While the Internet was originally designed as a decentralized network, much of it is now controlled by a few large corporations, leading to centralization of power and influence. Distributed and decentralized are different things, and even then, the Internet is not all that distributed. - -
- -**"Everyone Has Access to the Internet."** While the Internet is widely available in many parts of the world, millions of people still lack reliable access due to economic, geographic, and infrastructural barriers. Digital inequality remains a significant global challenge, with rural areas and developing regions (particularly in the global south) often underserved. - -
- -**"The Internet is free."** While many services on the Internet appear to be free, we often pay with our data. Companies collect and monetize personal information to offer "free" services, leading to privacy concerns. As the saying goes, “if it’s free, the product is you.” - -
- -**"Online privacy is not a problem anymore."** Many people believe their online activities are private, especially when using "incognito mode" or similar features. In reality, much of what we do online is tracked, logged, and often shared with third parties – despite using privacy-enabling features. - -
- -**"Well, I have nothing to hide, so privacy isn’t important anyway."** Many believe that if they aren’t doing anything wrong, they don’t need to worry about privacy. In reality, privacy is about controlling who has access to your personal information and how it’s used. Even seemingly harmless data can be collected, analyzed, and exploited in ways that affect your life, your choices, and your freedom. - -
- -**"Everything on the Internet is true."** There's a misconception that if something is online, it must be accurate or trustworthy. However, this is far from the truth. Misinformation, fake news, and unreliable sources are widespread, requiring critical thinking and fact-checking, and increasingly hard to differentiate from reality. - -
- -**"The Internet is anonymous."** Many believe they can remain completely anonymous online, but in reality, most activities leave a digital footprint that can be traced back to the user with enough effort. - -
- -**"Deleting something online makes it gone forever."** People often believe that deleting a post, message, or file online removes it permanently. However, copies or backups may still exist, and data can often be recovered or traced. - -
- -**"Cybersecurity threats are overblown."** Some people underestimate the risks of online threats like hacking, phishing, and malware, assuming they won't be targeted. However, [the numbers are startling](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/education/it-and-tech/cybersecurity-statistics/) and everyone is vulnerable. - -
- -In an age where, for better or worse, our online interactions shape much of our daily lives, understanding the true nature of the Internet is more and more important. By recognizing misconceptions, we can better navigate the digital world. And the best part? ThreeFold has been working on a true solution to some of the Internet’s biggest challenges. - -

Thanks to him for taking the time to create this short write-up on what it is and why it is needed.* - -
- -As part of the grid, ThreeFold is also implementing a planetary network. This peer 2 peer network implementation aims to allow efficient, end-to-end encrypted communication with other participants on the network. Currently, we are using Yggdrasil as the core technology for this network. This is an open source implementation, and we have been using this since of grid v2. - -
- -Over time, some problems have been noticed. We have since spent time looking into these issues, and performed an analysis of the root cause(s). - -## Yggdrasil’s Limitations - -To start, it should be noted that Yggdrasil is an experimental routing protocol (based on DHT’s), which is currently still in an alpha stage. We very much admire the fact that they have been able to create a standalone network with worldwide participants from scratch. Over time, the network has grown, in part due to the grid, but also because a lot of individual participants joined and started running a node. - -
- -After investigating, we reached the conclusion that the current architecture has some scalability issues. While we have no doubt that these will eventually be solved, the importance of the planetary network in the grid is unfortunately too big to be able to wait for this. Additionally, Yggdrasil uses a technique called crypto key routing, and uses a tree structure for its routing info. This means data follows the “shortest path” in the tree, rather than the physical shortest path, which might deviate from this. As such, we have decided to implement our own Ipv6 overlay network, Mycelium. - -## Implementing Mycelium - -As previously pointed out, the main goal of our network is to be efficient, and end-to-end encrypted. Every node in the network is identified by a key pair. The address of a node is derived from this key pair, and data traffic between 2 nodes is encrypted using a secret derived from the key pair of both these nodes. As a result, every 2 nodes in the system use a different secret for encryption, and we can verify that the address used by a node is indeed owned by it (i.e. it has the corresponding private key). We have based our initial implementation (loosely) on the babel routing protocol. - -
- -Therefore, sending data to a remote node will follow the shortest path in terms of latency (i.e. the fastest route). The network adjusts itself in case nodes disappear or join, and multiple paths to a given destination are possible. - -
- -We are also considering implementing more advanced use cases in the future, though this remains to be seen at this stage. We are gearing up for some larger scale testing on the grid in the near future (after all, we do have multiple thousand nodes at our disposal to verify scalability), and will adjust as needed once these are done. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/introducing_mycelium/introducing_mycelium.png b/content/blog/introducing_mycelium/introducing_mycelium.png deleted file mode 100644 index e03c07866..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/introducing_mycelium/introducing_mycelium.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/introducing_mycelium/mycelium.png b/content/blog/introducing_mycelium/mycelium.png deleted file mode 100644 index 7a6cac39c..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/introducing_mycelium/mycelium.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/p2p_web3/index.md b/content/blog/p2p_web3/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 084ff20d7..000000000 --- a/content/blog/p2p_web3/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,51 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: p2p_web3 -title: Peer-to-Peer Overcomes Web3 Challenges -image_caption: P2P Web3 -description: The promise of Web3 is tremendous, but there are clear limitations to overcome.

The promise of Web3 – decentralization of control and authority from big tech, data security, scalability, and privacy for users – is tremendous. But what is a promise without delivery? Is it possible that we will see major adoption soon? - -
- -Similar to the [enterprise blockchain hype](https://thenewstack.io/as-blockchain-hype-fades-developers-give-ethereum-a-serious-look/) that happened a few years ago, Web3 seems to be repeating the same story, with lots of chatter but lagging adoption. Millions have rushed to trade crypto and NFTs attached to Web3 – with a lot of this activity based on speculation and hype – but that doesn’t mean they will replace legacy platforms anytime soon. New approaches such as DeFi (decentralized finance) don’t have the same problem of the legacy firms, but they face the challenge of scaling and mass adoption. However, many so-called ‘Web3’ solutions are not as decentralized as they seem, and still have to show they are scalable, secure and accessible enough for the mass market. This all may change, but there are clear limitations that will need to be overcome. - -
- -Whether Web3 is a marketing slogan or a true technological trend, there is a lot of money and technology behind it. Financial institutions are embracing blockchain technology and we are seeing a rising adoption of digital assets across industries. While the idea of utilizing digital currencies to exchange different forms of value in an increasingly digital world certainly makes sense, it’s a bigger leap to say that blockchain alone can support a broad set of use cases, including replacing the current Internet infrastructure. - -
- -The Internet’s client-server infrastructure replicates data and workloads across many computers, and uses tons of computing resources and energy while limiting the scalability of our applications. However, the clear inefficiencies and gaps in security in today’s centralized infrastructures are being challenged by simpler means of building, storing and exchanging data. - -
- -Blockchain is a clear evolution to the centralized client-server model, but there are severe challenges sourced from the [blockchain trilemma](https://medium.com/certik/the-blockchain-trilemma-decentralized-scalable-and-secure-e9d8c41a87b3) between decentralization, scalability and security. Peer-to-peer systems transcend those challenges as they don’t require any valid2ation or verification from a third party, and enable end-to-end connections that can scale limitlessly without the potential of being altered or corrupted by intermediaries. In peer-to-peer systems, all participants are equally privileged, presenting a fairer model. Peer-to-peer represents an incredibly simple and efficient paradigm for organizing our digital world, and has already proven to be the most efficient alternative to centralized information systems. - -
- -Simply put, there is no reason to replicate full sets of data and workloads across many computers, and use tons of computing resources and energy while limiting the scalability of our applications. While there is an increasing reliance on blockchain principles to organize our Internet systems, blockchain also makes things redundant, slow, complex and energy intensive. To be clear, blockchain isn’t the problem, as it is a great technology to store and exchange value in a decentralized way, but it is only one piece of the puzzle. - -
- -By inter-connecting the computing processing power and storage capacity of billions of computers worldwide in a peer-to-peer way, data transfers could happen end-to-end between people and machines without the need to be verified. Peer-to-peer is also the only way to achieve a truly self-sovereign Internet – creating a ‘trustful’ environment that allows users and developers to have real data ownership. - -
- -Peer-to-peer systems aren’t meant to replace blockchains – they represent a way to decentralize models that blockchain cannot, such as Internet infrastructures. Peer-to-peer systems and blockchains, side by side. The best of both worlds. Peer-to-peer as the most efficient and decentralized alternative for us to exchange data and Internet resources. And blockchain for establishing trust through an irrefutable record of transactions. - -
- -With the rise of emerging technologies, a new technological foundation is needed to protect our sovereignty and freedom. The rise of blockchains, while well intended, ultimately has made the technological space more complex than ever before, and still benefits a plutocratic few (relative to its promise). More than just technology, peer-to-peer opens a world of new possibilities for humanity to co-initiate new paradigms and experiences. - -
- -By applying blockchain and peer-to-peer technology to the cloud, ThreeFold solves the security and autonomy issues of the Internet and realizes the initial promise of the Internet as an open-source, peer-to-peer, planetary mesh network of nodes owned by the people. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/p2p_web3/p2p_web3.png b/content/blog/p2p_web3/p2p_web3.png deleted file mode 100644 index 5274c9432..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/p2p_web3/p2p_web3.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/power_saving/index.md b/content/blog/power_saving/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index b65a94aa0..000000000 --- a/content/blog/power_saving/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,118 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: power_saving -title: "A Power-Saving Feature on the Grid – For Our People and Our Planet" -image_caption: A Power-Saving Feature on the Grid – For Our People and Our Planet -description: Saving a maximum of energy has always been on our agenda.

- -These rising energy costs have a significant impact on the economy, affecting inflation and driving up the cost of goods and services. - -## Reducing Our Bills & Our Impact on the Environment - -Given the increasing cost of energy, it is more important than ever to adopt responsible energy use practices. Simple measures like turning off lights and electronics when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, and properly insulating homes can make a big difference in reducing energy consumption and lowering bills. - -
- -By reducing energy waste, individuals and businesses can not only save money, but also help protect the environment and preserve natural resources for future generations. The world’s energy resources are finite, and the increasing demand for energy is putting pressure on the environment. By adopting responsible energy use practices, we can reduce our carbon footprint, decrease our dependence on non-renewable energy sources, and preserve the planet for future generations. - -
- -Saving energy is important for the planet as it can have a positive impact on the environment and the economy. Some of the key benefits of energy conservation are: - -
- -* **Reduces greenhouse gas emissions:** - * By reducing the amount of energy we consume, we also reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by power plants, which are a major contributor to climate change. -* **Saves natural resources:** - * Conserving energy helps to conserve our limited natural resources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are used to generate electricity. -* **Lowers energy costs:** - * By using energy more efficiently, we can lower our energy bills, saving money and reducing our overall energy costs. -* **Improves energy security:** - * By reducing our dependence on foreign sources of energy, we can improve our energy security and reduce the risks associated with energy shortages and price spikes. -* **Creates jobs:** - * The development and implementation of energy-efficient technologies and practices can create jobs in the energy efficiency and renewable energy sectors. - -
- -While it has been known for a long time that [consuming less energy meant a smaller ecological footprint](https://www.saveonenergy.com/green-energy/save-energy-go-green/), most people weren’t very motivated to do so. However, once their wallets started feeling the price increase, people became increasingly aware & careful of their energy consumption. So, in a way, while it is not a great thing for our economies, the rising energy prices are doing a good thing for the planet. - -## Energy Usage of Nodes - -The energy usage of a node in a network depends on various factors such as the type of node, its hardware specifications, and the workload it is handling. Generally, nodes that perform more intensive computations and have more advanced hardware specifications will consume more energy compared to basic nodes. - -
- -For example, nodes used in cryptocurrency mining operations are known to consume large amounts of energy due to the intensive computations they perform. On the other hand, simple nodes used for basic network functions such as routing or data storage may consume less energy. - -
- -It is important to note that the energy consumption of a node can also be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, network congestion, and power supply efficiency. By optimizing these factors, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption of a node and minimize its environmental impact. - -## ThreeFold 3Node Servers - -ThreeFold is a decentralized internet infrastructure that utilizes a network of nodes (referred to 3Nodes on our grid) to provide computing resources and data storage. Farmers can farm capacity for the ThreeFold Grid by building their own server and hosting Zero-OS on it, or by buying and running a preconfigured device. - -
- -In general, a 3Node cluster is expected to consume less energy compared to traditional server clusters, due to its focus on energy efficiency and sustainability. However, the exact energy usage will depend on the hardware specifications of the nodes, the workload they are handling, and the energy-saving measures implemented. It’s important to note that even a machine with nothing running on top of it consumes energy and brings a cost to farmers. - -## ThreeFold WOL Feature Comes as Part of Our Farmerbot - -Wake-on-LAN (WOL) is a feature in computer hardware that allows a network administrator to power on a computer remotely. The feature works by sending a special "magic packet" to the target computer, which contains the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the network adapter. The network adapter is programmed to recognize the magic packet and use it to initiate the power-on process. - -
- -Wake-on-LAN is useful for remotely accessing a computer that is turned off, as it allows the computer to be powered on without physically pressing the power button. This feature is commonly used for remote administration and maintenance tasks, as well as for remotely accessing a computer for work or entertainment purposes. - -
- -Wake-on-LAN requires specific hardware and software support, including a network adapter that supports the feature, a motherboard that enables the feature in the BIOS, and an operating system that supports WOL. Additionally, the computer must be connected to a network that supports WOL, and the feature must be enabled in the network adapter's settings. - -
- -The community has been asking for an energy-saving solution for quite a while and we had been looking for one. It took some time, as this was not the only topic that needed our team’s attention, and we had obstacles along the route to designing this solution, including limited funding and needful adjustments. - -
- -We had been working on a WOL feature for power-saving set up directly on the chain, but it turned out to be a dead end. Instead of an independent WOL feature, our dev team started from scratch with [a new idea](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tfgrid-power-management-feature-for-3-8-1/3721)! We are now very close to delivering a solution: A [Farmerbot ](https://github.com/threefoldtech/farmerbot/issues/1)that uses WOL to switch nodes on and off when needed! - -
- -Farmers will be able to define their configuration in an easy markdown format. The Farmerbot will check which nodes can be turned off or not. Farmers will be able to personalize this feature according to their farm’s own needs and preferences. - -## Conclusion - -Saving energy is crucial for the planet and has numerous positive impacts on the environment, economy, and society. By taking steps to conserve energy, we can help to reduce our environmental impact, lower energy costs, improve energy security, and create jobs in the clean energy sector. - -
- -Having a power-saving feature for ThreeFold nodes is one of our priorities. Together with the community, we agree that this is a pressing issue we need to solve. Our main incentive is to respect our engagement to be a sustainable network that puts the planet first. Supporting our farmers to get through difficult times financially is an extra one. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/power_saving/power_saving.png b/content/blog/power_saving/power_saving.png deleted file mode 100644 index a2581254d..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/power_saving/power_saving.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/products_in_a_machine/index.md b/content/blog/products_in_a_machine/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 490f4911d..000000000 --- a/content/blog/products_in_a_machine/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,47 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: products_in_a_machine -title: "Rethinking Our Relationship with the Digital World" -image_caption: Rethinking Our Relationship with the Digital World -description: The Internet has always been a canvas for human connection and creativity.

We've come to rely on platforms that promise connection, information, and entertainment. Yet, there are cracks in the system and massive trade offs for all of us, the "users." Let's pause for a moment and consider, is today's Internet truly serving us? - -
- -(tl;dr The answer is "No.") - -## The Rise & Fall of Platforms - -The world of digital platforms can leave us feeling a bit deflated. We invest time and effort in creating content and building our online presence across platforms, only to see them come and go – either in terms of popularity or existance. Years of efforts can go down the drain in an instant. And the introduction of new platforms means we feel almost pressured to create new profiles yet again. Take Threads, for example, recently released by Meta. I, personally, have not downloaded the app or created a profile myself. Nor do I plan to. - -## Algorithmic Shifts & Manipulation - -Algorithms, like shifting weather, change direction without warning. What used to be familiar suddenly feels like a puzzle we can't solve. Further, algorithms on social media and other platforms are designed to keep us engaged. They show us content that's likely to keep us scrolling and clicking. This can lead to addictive behaviors, with us spending more time on platforms than we initially intended. - -## Platform Redundancy - -Why, in this digital age, do we have countless platforms doing essentially the same thing? It's as if we're at a party with multiple dance floors, all playing the same music. This fragmented landscape demands our memory's acrobatics as we juggle passwords, navigate different interfaces, and figure out where our friends are hanging out. A simpler, unified experience seems a distant dream. - -## Products in a Machine - -We pour our creativity and stories into platforms, only to realize we don't truly own them. Our content, our data, our followers – they belong to the platform. It's like building a sandcastle at the beach, but it washes away with the tide. The digital space, which once held the promise of empowerment, has subtly transformed us into products within a larger system. - -## Decentralization: Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty - -Imagine a digital world where you're the true owner of your data and content, where your digital footprint isn't erased by platform shifts. A space where the power to shape the experience is in your hands, where you're not a product but a participant in a collaborative journey. - -
- -This reimagined Internet isn't a dream; it's an evolving reality. Decentralization represents a paradigm shift – a chance to reclaim our digital autonomy. We need to foster an environment where platforms don't dictate, but rather, serve as tools shaped by the collective. This is a call to action, a reminder that a more inclusive, user-centric Internet is within reach. - -
- -The Internet has always been a canvas for human connection and creativity. Let's paint a picture where we're not just contributors but true owners, where we're not lost in a labyrinth but are the architects of our digital landscape. Let's embrace a decentralized Internet, because we deserve an Internet that truly serves us – the people. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/products_in_a_machine/products_in_a_machine.png b/content/blog/products_in_a_machine/products_in_a_machine.png deleted file mode 100644 index 6a55cbde5..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/products_in_a_machine/products_in_a_machine.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/reliability/index.md b/content/blog/reliability/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 7a9121696..000000000 --- a/content/blog/reliability/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,35 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: reliability -title: "Building Reliability into a Decentralized Internet Infrastructure" -image_caption: Building Reliability -description: Through a combination of technical and strategic advancements, our journey towards a dependable and trustworthy decentralized Internet infrastructure is underway. -date: 2023-12-06 -taxonomies: - people: [sam_taggart] - tags: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] - categories: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] -extra: - imgPath: reliability.png ---- - -In today's digital landscape, the development of a decentralized open-source Internet infrastructure marks a significant leap forward.

This scenario keeps data, jobs, and economic benefits outside developing regions. But what if connectivity was local, decentralized, and efficient? - -## The East Africa Example - -Picture our technology in action. Instead of relying on data centers thousands of miles away, our decentralized infrastructure brings the connection closer. Those friends in East Africa can communicate peer-to-peer, reducing bandwidth needs by up to 10 times while boosting security. This isn't just about video calls; it's about revolutionizing every digital interaction. - -## Streamlining Complexity - -The tech world often gets tangled in layers of abstraction, favoring integration over innovation. While layers aid compatibility and incremental progress, they hinder true change. Excessive abstraction results in inefficiencies, performance lags, increased costs, and scalability woes. - -## The Education Gap - -Innovation takes a back seat when education leans heavily on commercial technologies. The push for quick-fix solutions neglects long-term innovation. It's like opting for a painkiller instead of addressing the root cause of the problem. - -## Local, Secure, Reliable - -Our vision? A decentralized internet where compute, storage, and network are local, sovereign, and secure. Storage becomes more reliable with less overhead, doubling up as a global content delivery network. The network stays resilient, routes around issues, encrypts end-to-end, and knows precisely where data originates and ends. - -## Tackling the Root Issues - -By constructing a decentralized, autonomous internet infrastructure from scratch, we're tackling these issues head-on. Minimizing complexity while solving problems at their core is our mantra. It's not just about a tech revolution; it's about reshaping connectivity to be inclusive, efficient, and empowering for everyone, everywhere. - -
- -The digital world stands at a crossroads. We can either perpetuate the status quo, or we can pave a new path—one that's decentralized, efficient, and equitable. The time for a decentralized internet that solves problems at their roots is now. It's time for connectivity that knows no boundaries. - -
- -The power to transform connectivity is in our hands. Let's reimagine the internet not as a distant entity but as a network that thrives locally, serves globally, and empowers universally.

- -In recent years, we've witnessed a transformation in how energy is generated and distributed, marking a shift towards a more sustainable and democratic system. This change has been most notable in the transition from centralized energy production, particularly nuclear power, to decentralized solar energy. The latter empowers individuals and communities to produce their energy locally, an alternative to the traditional approach to power generation. - -
- -Similarly, the Internet landscape, typically dominated by massive data centers and centralized servers, is experiencing a shift towards decentralization. These movements share a common ethos to empower individuals and communities. - -### **The Rise of Decentralized Solar Energy** - -Decentralized solar energy has transformed the landscape of power generation. Unlike the centralized model, where nuclear power plants are often miles away from the end-users and controlled by large corporations or government bodies, solar energy allows for energy production right where it's needed—at home or within the community. - -
- -By installing solar panels on rooftops or creating local solar farms, individuals can capture the sun's energy directly. This shift not only reduces our dependency on distant power plants and the complex grid systems but also mitigates the risks associated with them. - -
- -This localized energy production model enhances sustainability by tapping into an inexhaustible natural resource and encourages a more environmentally conscious and self-sufficient society. It signifies a move away from the centralized, traditional systems of energy production, returning power to the people and prioritizing the planet's well-being. - -![Image](solar.png#mx-auto) - -### **ThreeFold: Pioneering a Decentralized Digital Future** - -Parallel to the energy sector's evolution, the digital world is also undergoing a transformation, led by innovative platforms like ThreeFold. Just as decentralized solar energy provides an alternative to the centralized power generation model, ThreeFold is reshaping the cloud computing landscape with its autonomous edge cloud. - -
- -ThreeFold's model deviates from the norm, where cloud services are dominated by a few massive data centers. Instead, we depend on our global network of independent nodes set up by individuals and businesses to contribute their own computing and storage resources to the cloud. This approach democratizes access to cloud resources, bolstering data privacy, security, and resilience against potential outages or cyberattacks. - - -
- -Beyond merely disrupting the existing model, ThreeFold aims to foster a more sustainable, efficient, and user-centric internet. Distributing decentralized infrastructure worldwide reduces the environmental footprint associated with large data centers and promotes fairer internet resource distribution. - -
- -![Image](data_center.png#mx-auto) - -
- -Both the shift towards decentralized solar energy and ThreeFold's revolutionary approach to cloud computing reflect a broader movement towards decentralization.

Younger generations in developed countries grow up amidst technological wonders of all sorts, truly immersed in an evolving digital landscape. Any information is a click away, offering immense intellectual capital unlike ever before – and on the other hand, great distraction, misinformation, and potential for division. - -
- -Technology is a word dating back to the early 17th century, formed from the Greek _tekhnologia_ meaning ‘systematic treatment,’ itself formed from _tekhnē_ meaning ‘art, craft.’ Technology is the application of knowledge to reach practical goals in a specifiable and reproducible way. The word technology may also mean the product of such an endeavor, as it is mostly used today. - -
- -As technologies enter our world they either add on incrementally to already existing technologies (i.e., tablets) or shake everything up (i.e., television). Technology can be found in most industries and at different levels, ranging from vehicles to home appliances, passing through healthcare, education, and even entertainment. Sometimes technology replaces human labor by replicating it, other times it facilitates processes and makes labor less intensive. Some technology even surpasses human precision. - -
- -While technology has had an important role in the creation of today’s societies, it might have an even greater role for our future. Two opposite pictures could be painted: a utopia or a dystopia. The utopia of a world full of values-driven, well-constructed technologies promises an increased quality of life for all, with digital tools which, for instance, could provide or enable equal educational opportunities for all, mobility everywhere, a universal basic income and the promise of never having to work again (e.g. in the sense of wage labor). - -
- -On the other hand, a dystopia could be the result of reckless technological advancement. Questions are raised, like, will most jobs be dominated by artificial intelligence (AI) in 20 years? Will privacy become a myth, with personal data being controlled by a handful? Will consumerism rule societies and reinforce social struggles? - -
- -One technology that has been slowly taking the dystopian route is the Internet. While major Internet and Cloud infrastructure advancements were made since the beginning of the millennium through hyper-scale data centers, the current Internet infrastructure model has many flaws: - -
- -- **It is centralized**: The GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft) own 80% of the global compute, storage and network infrastructures. Also the global infrastructure is concentrated in the U.S in large majority, as well as Europe and China. - -- **It is inefficient**: Most of the data centers are located in the U.S, forcing the rest of the world to connect via Internet sea cables and having their data flowing outside of their borders and back. - -- **It is not scalable**: Emerging technologies require the global Internet infrastructure to triple in size in the next 4 years. It took 20+ years to build the current Internet infrastructure. So, we need to build 3 times more in 5 times less time. - -- **It is not affordable**: It costs billions of dollars and enormous amounts of energy and time to build, manage and productize hyper-scale data centers. Only the richest countries in the world build data centers and the rest of the world become their clients. - -- **It is not private**: Anyone can access Google Chrome or Facebook for free. But as outlined by movies such as the Social Dilemma or The Great Hack, if it is free, you are the product. The web’s Ad model is threatening our privacy and the net neutrality of the global internet. - -- **It is not secure**: The current IT stack depends on human error and it has been considered as the major cause of cybersecurity breaches with more than 95% of the cases. Human errors allow attackers to access encrypted channels and sensitive information - -- **It is not sustainable:** Data centers are extremely power hungry, consuming over 2 trillion gigabytes of storage and consuming around 205 TWh - More than the State of New York. According to statistics, the Internet consumes between 10-20% of global energy resources. - -- **It cannot support future demand:** To meet projected demand for 2022, more than 4,000 new data centers, costing an estimated $5 trillion, will be needed to build and consume an additional 400 GW/h. This is roughly equivalent to Japan’s energy consumption and would place an impossible strain on the global electricity grid. The rising demand for Internet storage is already causing hardware shortages and price hikes. - -
- -At ThreeFold, we want to encourage the creation of a utopian future driven by thoughtful technology. Our founders took part in the way the Internet was created, full of beautiful promises, and have seen first-hand how those promises have been corrupted throughout its evolution. By building a new Internet infrastructure from scratch, ThreeFold goes back to those original promises while having learnt from the development mistakes. - -
- -Kristof, our CEO, [wrote in a blog](https://medium.com/@despiegk/once-upon-a-time-only-30-years-ago-an-experiment-started-called-the-internet-5251e0da6a76): - -> "The Internet allows the expansion of our village life to become a global community. It allows us to act as a global tribe with all information at our fingertips, it offers the possibility to get equal access to all planet resources. It has the promise for global free communication, instant availability of information, unlimited opportunities for growth and education. But what happened to our Beautiful Internet?" - -> "The Internet allowed us to become more efficient in depriving mother earth from her resources. It allowed us to become more addicted to immediate gratification, examples are social media networks and the adult entertainment industry. Beautiful new possibilities like digital currencies became a gambling game and a source of wealth for the smartest hackers. The communication capabilities of the Internet allowed the few to manipulate the many." - -
- -By putting people, planet and authenticity at the core of the development of our technology, we want to gift societes a remade internet. Features of this technology include sovereignty & decentralization, security & privacy, unlimited scalability, green & self healing properties, cost effectiveness, and reliability. The human is put at the center of our Internet model. - -

- -ThreeFold has always acted in a decentralized way – through the creation of public community chats and forums, by hosting regular community calls, through Grid Enhancement Proposals / DAO votes, and more. Different entities participate in the project – TF9 (previously TF Tech) creates the technology, TF DMCC advocates for and does day-to-day management of the TF Grid, the farmers add capacity, grid users deploy on that capacity, token holders support the project through buying the token, and so on. - -
- -As we enter the next phase of ThreeFold, the project will move into an even greater level of decentralization, where each role is clearly defined and benefits the greater whole, while we introduce layers to make us – and our grid – more resilient and reliable. - -

- -- **Farmers**, or Cloud Service Providers, provide the infrastructural foundation of the ecosystem. Without the farmers, there is no ThreeFold. - -- **Network Bridgers**, or Providers, bridge the new and the old. They ensure that ThreeFold can communicate with the existing Internet in a safe and secure manner – and provide bandwidth to our grid. - -- **Farming Pools** exist to support farmers in being more effective, to improve uptime, and to deliver a service level to the community. This means more reliability for all. - -- **Node Suppliers** build and sell nodes and provide an adequate level of service and support. - -- **Guardians** protect the network, keep all relevant services up and running, validating the soundness of the technology being used. - -- **TF Dubai** is the original company out of which the ThreeFold project began and is now developing commercial services on top of the grid. TF Dubai is a big sponsor of the grid and will continue to be. It wishes to hand off the day-to-day management to the ThreeFold cooperative, and the digital tools have been set up to do so, including the forum, websites, manuals, and web management tools. - -- **[TF9](https://tf9.io)**, previously TF Tech, is a Belgium-based company playing a key role in the ecosystem. They have been developing the technology behind the TF Grid and are 100% committed to keeping it open-source. TF9 will be licensing the software to organizations who need commercial support and customizations. - -- The **ThreeFold Cooperative** is our governance layer; it gives everyone in the ecosystem a voice and an environment from which to operate. - -- **OurWorld Digital Free Zone**, which is in the process of being created in Zanzibar, allows the ecosystem to structure digital assets and some of our future digital projects. - -
- -But it does not stop there. More **solution and technology providers** will create and provide services and open-source technologies that can be used on top of or as part of the grid. **DePIN partners** are coming, to launch us into that space. And **ThreeFold Chapters** will come alive to promote and grow the ecosystem organically, with local context, driving maximum reach and adoption of our project. - -
- -![ThreeFold Ecosystem](./tf_ecosystem.png) - -
- -It is easy to see that each of these roles plays a crucial element in the larger ThreeFold ecosystem, establishing a type of equilibrium and resilience that can be found in natural systems as well. All participants with their own unique purposes – self-organizing, interconnected, collaborating towards a common goal.

For many, it's the websites and applications we consume online as end users. But the Internet is much more than this. And ultimately, every action we take online goes through a complex set of automated processes and protocols to store, run, and transmit data (e.g. photos, videos, messages, other files) across the global Internet infrastructure. - -
- -Today, this infrastructure consists of massive, power-hungry data centers, and is largely privatized and owned by tech giants such as Facebook, Google and Amazon – who also happen to own the biggest online "free" platforms. But there's a catch. By owning both the infrastructure and the digital experiences we consume for free, we were actually turned into products of their business models. Our data is being collected and isn't owned by us anymore. While data has become the most valuable commodity on earth, don't you think it's wrong that we don't own the value of our data today?  - -
- -*Today, every individual (through their online data) is worth between hundreds and thousands of dollars, per year. The Internet and Cloud Industry is worth trillions, yet all this value is centralized to a handful of companies. This has to change.* - -
- -ThreeFold's open source technology powers the peer-to-peer Internet revolution that holds the premise to disrupt the global Internet in many ways. - -## An Internet By the People - -The ThreeFold Grid is formed by people from all around the world that connect Internet capacity to a peer-to-peer Infrastructure owned by humanity. Together, we expand a data-sovereign and planet-positive Internet infrastructure that puts people back in control of their data, and their digital lives. ThreeFold's infrastructure can store all of humanity's data – from personal data to public datasets and security archives – and can run all emerging technologies such as blockchain, IoT, and Big Data – with more efficiency and security. - -
- -ThreeFold flips the current data center model upside-down, and allows people around the globe to connect Internet capacity in the form of hardware, and earn income for it. This decentralized approach means that anyone can take part in the world's largest and fastest growing economy – the Internet and Cloud.  - -
- -You can see now how this new Internet is by the people, but how about the latter? What does the ThreeFold Grid enable? - -## An Internet For the People - -Now anyone, anywhere can connect to the ThreeFold Grid and use capacity with some key advantages: - -### A World Where we Own the Value of Our Data - -Today, all of the data we create online sits inside of centralized data centers and we do not own it. ThreeFold turns terms & conditions on their head and gives us, the people, full control of our data rather than third parties. We can keep our data private, decide with whom to share it, and even decide on where it's stored and located. And considering that our personal data is worth between US $1,000 and $20,000 per year, ThreeFold offers a direct way for us to own our digital life and the value attached to it. - -### We Exchange Value Without Intermediaries - -The "People's Internet" is peer-to-peer. This means connections between senders and recipients are completely end-to-end, eliminating the need for any form of intermediaries from the model. Can you imagine what the world would look like without intermediaries? Let's take an example like Airbnb. - -
- -Today, if you are looking for a place to stay on vacation, you will probably end up using the services of Airbnb. But did you know that Airbnb charges both consumers and property owners for using their service? In a peer-to-peer world, this wouldn't be necessary. You'd simply access a database of property owners (possibly through a peer-to-peer marketplace) and be able to complete the transaction yourselves. No hidden fees, just a direct exchange of value! - -### Applications Run on the Edge - -In its essence, edge computing brings compute and storage closer to people (and the devices where it's being gathered) rather than relying on a centralized data centers located on the other side of the planet. This is the essence of the ThreeFold Grid. So, data doesn't suffer any latency issues (performance) and it's far more efficient / money-saving. Further, the distributed nature of the Grid allows for true privacy and security. Edge computing is not just a growing trend but, because of the growing number of connected devices and global Internet usage, it's becoming a real necessity. - -## But what about the planet? - -If you've been following us, you must already know that the Internet is responsible for 10% or more of the world's energy consumption. And with decades of experience in the Internet and Cloud industry, ThreeFold co-founders knew how to turn this around. We developed a lightweight operating system and infrastructure, removing unnecessary layers of complexity from the traditional and Web3 models (actually, blockchains are making it even more complex). The ThreeFold technology is always geared towards maximum efficiency while maintaing performance. And with these advancements, we can already save up-to 90% energy on storage workloads. - -
- -Additionally, the distributed nature of the Grid uses less bandwidth (see above re: edge computing). It's been reported that Netflix alone takes up 15% of the Internet's bandwidth. What if Netflix were to leverage the ThreeFold Grid? If stored closer to watchers, we could reduce network usage considerably. - -
- -Our commitment to the planet goes beyond the technology. Through a partnership with Take Action Global (TAG), we aim to take three times more CO2 out of the air compared to what we put in. Imagine regenerating the earth while using the Internet? - -
- -At ThreeFold, we believe that it's time for us to take back control. As the world turns more and more digital due to the pandemic and even just the natural progression of technology, it's time that we not just realize the problems of today's Internet, but that we do something about it. - -
- -This will happen!

Today, we're spotlighting the farming community, the backbone of the ThreeFold Grid. - -### **Who are the farmers and what exactly do these farmers do?** - -Think of a ThreeFold Farmer as a digital pioneer who connects their capacity to the ThreeFold Grid, becoming a cloud service provider. They come from all corners of the globe, driven by a common goal: to contribute to the growth of ThreeFold’s decentralized cloud infrastructure. -Currently, we boast approximately 950 farmers running an impressive ±2500 nodes. This translates to a whopping capacity of: - -
- -- Cores: 64,290 -- RAM: 434.85 TB -- SSD: 8.46 PB -- HDD: 20 PB - -
- -The farming community keeps the digital gears turning. Whether they purchase a 3Node from the marketplace or build their nodes, they're providing essential capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. In return for their contributions, they're rewarded with ThreeFold Tokens (TFTs), the currency of the ThreeFold ecosystem. - -
- -Farmers are rewarded based on their uptime—the number of hours, minutes, and seconds their node has been online. This data is meticulously tracked by ThreeFold's blockchain, TFChain, and used to determine their monthly rewards. However, we're always evolving and we just passed a vote on the ThreeFold DAO where we decided that, in the future, farmers would be rewarded based on their utilization. - -
- -ThreeFold Farmers not only provide capacity but also take the opportunity of ThreeFold being an open-source project to develop scripts and tools like a [Python script for minting](https://forum.threefold.io/t/farm-earnings-data-capture-made-easy/4251), a telegram for [liquidity pool USDC/TFT](https://t.me/threefold/42257/54497), and Telegram channels for their local community where English is not their primary language so that they can get help when they need it, and much more. - -
- -The ThreeFold farming community is an integral part of our [decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)](https://manual.grid.tf/documentation/dashboard/tfchain/tf_dao.html). A farmer's participation in the DAO discussions and proposals is pivotal as we chart the course for the grid's evolution, from our current version 3.14 release and beyond. Together, we're actively building the grid's future, thanks to our dedicated farmers' collaborative efforts. Join us, share your ideas, and let's shape the future of the ThreeFold Grid together. - -### **The Future of the Farming Community** - -#### **The TF Cooperative** - -ThreeFold is transitioning the management of TF Grid to a cooperative, empowering all of us to work toward our common goals more effectively. This shift represents a step towards a more collaborative and inclusive future for the TFGrid. As we enter the commercialization phase of the project, a cooperative model also brings a trusted form of decentralized governance and will enable us to bring more reliability to the grid. - -
- -The formation of the ThreeFold Cooperative (TF COOP) brings several planned changes for farmers and their interaction with the TFGrid: - -
- -- **Democratic Governance**: TF COOP introduces a system where farmers can vote on decisions based on their TFT holdings (1 TFT = 1 vote), giving them a voice in the cooperative's direction. -- **Farming Rewards**: Farmers will continue to earn rewards based on the quality of their nodes and network uptime. This encourages high standards and benefits both farmers and users. -- **Compliance**: Farmers must follow KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) rules for transparency and accountability. -- **Service Level Agreements (SLAs)**: Larger farmers may sign formal contracts with DMCC or TF COOP, providing stability and predictability. -- **Capacity Resale and Utilization Rewards**: TF COOP will resell capacity and distribute profits. Farmers receive 50% of the revenue from their node utilization. -- **Node Information and Transparency**: Farmers can benefit from tracking more node data in the explorer, helping potential users select quality nodes. -- **Governance Involvement**: Farmers, as cooperative members, can impact management and operations, aligning their interests with the TFGrid's success. - -#### **Farming Pool** - -[Farming Pools](https://www.threefold.io/blog/farming-pools/) are a new feature planned for version 4.0 that helps improve trust and quality in our network. Farmers join these pools and agree to standards like uptime and response time. They can set their prices for services like storage and computing power. By staking tokens, farmers commit to these standards and risk losing some of their stakes if they don't meet their promises. This keeps the network reliable and fair while allowing farmers more control over their services. - -
- -These pools can also act as hubs for supporting farmers with training and help them understand if their nodes are working well. Sales of preconfigured hardware is an additional optional function of the pools, while all pools operate as a business that takes a margin on the farming rewards of the farmers belonging to the pool. Beyond support, the added value for the farmers is that pools ensure a level of service and quality that can attract users and bring additional revenues to the farmers, including the potential of active marketing of the pool's capacity. - -### **Conclusion** - -The farming community plays a key role in the smooth operation and growth of the ThreeFold Grid. These farmers shape the grid's future by offering the capacity for a more decentralized digital world. Their work goes beyond earning rewards, as they contribute nodes to a global network and share resources and tools that strengthen the community, which will be showcased in our upcoming blogs. Thanks to their efforts, the grid is thriving and paving the way for a fairer, more connected world. - -#### Get involved: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - diff --git a/content/blog/the_farming_community/the_farming_community.png b/content/blog/the_farming_community/the_farming_community.png deleted file mode 100644 index 293ed0796..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/the_farming_community/the_farming_community.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_applications.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_applications.png deleted file mode 100644 index a7031925a..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_applications.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_call.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_call.png deleted file mode 100644 index 1d4a440e3..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_call.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_model.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_model.png deleted file mode 100644 index f9cf39071..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_model.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_network.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_network.png deleted file mode 100644 index 4e84ed5a7..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/current_network.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/three_layers.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/three_layers.png deleted file mode 100644 index 03d7777c8..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/three_layers.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_applications.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_applications.png deleted file mode 100644 index ad8ae1f36..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_applications.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_call.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_call.png deleted file mode 100644 index 26dcb4141..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_call.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_network.png b/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_network.png deleted file mode 100644 index abeb91c75..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/three_layers/img/threefold_network.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/three_layers/index.md b/content/blog/three_layers/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 28efb7e21..000000000 --- a/content/blog/three_layers/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,156 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: three_layers -title: "The Building Blocks of the Internet" -image_caption: The Building Blocks of the Internet -description: Learn about the layers of the Internet to understand how digital information is processed, stored, and accessed. -date: 2024-03-04 -taxonomies: - people: [sam_taggart] - tags: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] - categories: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] -extra: - imgPath: img/three_layers.png - isFeatured: true ---- - -*This article was originally published by Emilie Ouwerx, a former member of the ThreeFold team.* - -
- -Just as the Earth is made up of layers—from the crust to the core — so too is the Internet, with three key layers: compute & storage, network, and applications. Distinguishing these layers helps us to understand how digital information is currently processed, stored, and accessed across the globe and how ThreeFold technology can transform this model. ThreeFold can be likened to tectonic forces, reshaping the digital landscape by introducing improved ways for these layers to interact. Let’s break down these three layers, their current challenges, and ThreeFold’s approach to each of them. - -### **Compute & Storage** - -**What it is:** - -
- -Compute is responsible for processing data. It runs programs and applications by leveraging computational resources like CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). It handles the calculations, logic, and running of software that users depend on. Compute resources are provided by servers located in centralized data centers and cloud platforms. - -
- -Storage is about saving and retrieving data. It provides a persistent way to store data so that it can be accessed in the future. This encompasses various types of storage media, such as hard drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and distributed storage systems that span across multiple locations. Storage ensures that data is kept safe and available for when it's needed, either for immediate use by applications or for long-term retention. - -
- -**The problem with the current model:** - -
- -A key problem with the current compute & storage layer lies in its centralized structure, which creates vulnerabilities, scalability challenges, and performance issues. Relying on centralized data centers and cloud platforms leads to single points of failure, which increases the risk of outages and cyberattacks, thus heightening concerns about service disruption and data security. Scaling this centralized infrastructure to meet increasing demand is costly and not straightforward, while latency issues hinder real-time data processing. - -
- -The concentration of the compute & storage within data centers primarily located in Europe, North America, or China raises significant concerns. This geographical bias in Internet infrastructure keeps data, jobs, and economic benefits centralized in certain regions, putting developing areas at a disadvantage and raising concerns around data sovereignty and autonomy. - -
- -For example, when two people in Zanzibar undertake a video call, their call data is sent to a data center in Europe via costly fiber optics, wasting resources and diminishing performance. This scenario represents a broader problem affecting various locations and use cases. This inefficient and inequitable system can be changed. - -
- -![Image](img/current_call.png#mx-auto) - -
- -**The ThreeFold model:** - -
- -ThreeFold decentralizes compute & storage by distributing it across a global network of independent nodes rather than concentrating it in large data centers. Autonomous technology allows us to remove most human involvement from the equation. This approach allows anyone, regardless of technical know-how, to contribute compute & storage to the network or utilize it for their own applications. In essence, the compute & storage layer becomes co-owned, allowing anyone to become a cloud provider. - -
- -ThreeFold’s autonomous technology efficiently allocates compute resources, increasing performance and reliability while reducing energy consumption. The distributed storage system fragments data and stores it securely across multiple locations, ensuring that data is always recoverable. Data security is also enhanced as there is no central repository for attackers to target. In this decentralized model, individuals' data remains within their country's borders, safeguarding their information from being exploited as a commodity by external entities. Storing data closer to the end user reduces latency and improves access speeds. - -
- -Let's revisit the scenario of a video call between two individuals in Zanzibar. With ThreeFold technology, call data will be sent directly between local ThreeFold nodes. These nodes are deployed locally by people and organizations, avoiding centralized ownership by major tech corporations. Instead of relying on data centers thousands of miles away, our decentralized infrastructure significantly shortens the connection distance. The pair in Zanzibar can now communicate peer-to-peer, reducing bandwidth needs by up to 10 times while boosting security. - -
- -![Image](img/threefold_call.png#mx-auto) - -
- -### **Network** - -**What it is:** - -
- -The purpose of the network layer of the Internet is to send data packets from their source (point A) to their destination (point B) across multiple networks. Data packets are small pieces of information which include the data being sent and details like where it's coming from and where it's going. They can be thought of as small parcels of data that travel through the Internet. These parcels can take different paths to reach their destination and once they arrive they are put back together to form the original data. - -
- -The network operates on protocols like IP (Internet Protocol), which assigns unique addresses to devices on the Internet to ensure data reaches the correct location. The network layer handles the path selection and directs data packets through various routers and networks to reach its destination. This layer enables communication between devices in different networks, ensuring efficient delivery across the vast expanse of the Internet. - -
- -**The problem with the current model:** - -
- -The current model of the network layer relies heavily on traditional routing protocols and infrastructure, which often lead to inefficiencies and vulnerabilities. Centralized routing mechanisms may result in suboptimal path selection, leading to longer latency and decreased network performance. As highlighted in the picture below, the path that these data packets take in the current system can be very complex and ineffective. The reliance on a centralized architecture makes the network susceptible to single points of failure and cyberattacks. Traditional networks lack inherent privacy and security measures, leaving data vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access during transmission. The lack of scalability, reliability, and security of the current network model highlights the need for a new approach. - -

- -**The ThreeFold model:** - -
- -ThreeFold is disrupting the network layer through its new Mycelium technology, a true peer-to-peer mesh network. It is the only overlay network in the world capable of taking locality into consideration, routing decisions based on proximity between individuals, and selecting the quickest route possible. This addresses the current system’s suboptimal path selection as visualized above. In this new model data packets take the quickest route from point A to point B. Mycelium also ensures end-to-end encryption for all traffic, enhancing data privacy and security. This new 'always-on' network offers continuous connectivity and seamless access to resources, even in the face of network disruptions or outages. - -

- -### **Applications** - -**What it is:** - -
- -At the top of the Internet stack are applications — the user-facing software that provides the services and experiences we interact with daily. Applications range from web browsers and social media to more complex systems like blockchain platforms and decentralized apps (dApps). They are the interface through which users interact with the digital world. - -
- -**The problem with the current model:** - -
- -The problem with the current model is the lack of control over our digital identities. Currently, users are scattered across numerous platforms, each hosting their data separately. This means that individuals exist in multiple instances online, with their personal information spread across different servers and databases controlled by different applications (visualized in the picture below). This fragmentation not only leads to redundancy but also raises concerns about security, privacy, and control over personal data. Users are forced to trust multiple third-party applications with their sensitive information, often without transparency or control over how their data is used or shared. The centralized nature of these applications exposes users to risks such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and exploitation of personal information for targeted advertising or other purposes. In the existing system, users are at the mercy of application providers, who dictate the terms of service and privacy policies. This asymmetry in power dynamics leaves users with limited options to protect their privacy or exercise control over their data. - -
- -![Image](img/current_applications.png#mx-auto) - -
- -**The ThreeFold model:** - -
- -ThreeFold delivers a decentralized and user-centric approach to the application layer, empowering users and developers. By providing access to decentralized compute, storage, and networking resources, ThreeFold facilitates the development and deployment of decentralized applications (dApps) within its ecosystem. Unlike traditional centralized applications, which rely on proprietary infrastructure and are subject to the control of centralized entities, dApps built on ThreeFold operate within a decentralized environment increasing security and privacy. Users have greater autonomy and control over their digital identities and data. Instead of being scattered across numerous platforms with data hosted separately, users have one digital identity. This reduces fragmentation and eliminates the need to trust multiple third-party applications with sensitive information. In the ThreeFold model, applications are designed to serve the users rather than the other way round. - -
- -![Image](img/threefold_applications.png#mx-auto) - -
- -### **Conclusion** - -Understanding the Internet’s three layers is key to grasping the current digital landscape and envisioning the transformative potential of ThreeFold's technology. Just as tectonic forces reshape our physical world, ThreeFold is disrupting the layers of the digital world. By decentralizing compute & storage, ThreeFold eliminates the vulnerabilities in centralized models, fostering efficiency and security. Through Mycelium, ThreeFold is rewriting the rules of connectivity, ensuring resilience and security. At the application layer, ThreeFold empowers users, shifting the paradigm to user empowerment. It's a new dawn for the Internet, one where connectivity is inclusive, efficient, and equitable, and ThreeFold is leading the charge. Let’s seize the opportunity to shape an Internet that thrives locally, serves globally, and empowers universally. - -

- -One effective mechanism gaining traction for decentralized governance is the cooperative model. Cooperatives represent a tried and tested form of collective organization, emphasizing democratic governance and equitable distribution of benefits among members. - -### **So, what exactly is a cooperative?** - -The International Cooperative Alliance [defines a cooperative](https://www.ica.coop/en/cooperatives/what-is-a-cooperative) as an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically controlled enterprise. - -
- -Cooperatives operate under a set of shared principles—voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, economic participation by members, autonomy and independence, education, training, and information, cooperation among cooperatives, and concern for the community. These principles underpin the resilience and effectiveness of cooperatives as governance models. - -### **The ThreeFold Cooperative** - -In the future, ThreeFold will establish a 100% owned subsidiary of the Cooperative within a chosen jurisdiction to open the doors to innovative mechanisms. Through this subsidiary, the creation of Farming Pools becomes feasible, providing a controlled environment for token transactions aligned with defined governance protocols unique to each Farming Pool. - -
- -One crucial aspect is the inclusivity within this cooperative framework. Every farmer contributing resources and every buyer purchasing IT capacity from the network becomes an integral part of this cooperative, fostering a sense of ownership and shared responsibility. - -
- -This cooperative structure revolutionizes the way participants interact within a decentralized network. It ensures that governance mechanisms are not only defined but also upheld by all stakeholders, aligning actions with the collective vision. - -

- -With today’s Internet, infrastructure is centralized. Companies provide services in exchange for your personal data, which is stored on servers in hyper-scale data centers owned by private companies. - -
- -In ThreeFold’s model, those servers are called 3Nodes, and rather than sitting inside centralized data centers, they sit inside the homes or offices (or small data centers) owned by independent people and organizations called Farmers. But the data inside is owned by the person or persons who put it there. They maintain access right as well. From a technical standpoint, data is dispersed across 3Nodes by [an algorithm](https://manual.grid.tf/knowledge_base/technology/qsss/qsss_home.html) that makes it such that nobody can access it. In addition, connections are peer-to-peer, meaning data goes directly between sender and recipient rather than passing through intermediaries as it does today – bringing further levels of security. - -

With decades of experience in the Internet and Cloud space and in response to technological evolutions, ThreeFold is proposing a new approach. - -
- -Over the last 30 years, data center construction has largely remained static. Contemporary data centers risk becoming obsolete if they continue to neglect evolving needs. As we stand at this technological crossroads, the urgency to adapt is clear: unless we pay close attention, new data centers risk repeating the inefficiencies of their predecessors, leading to a poor utilization of investments and a significant mismatch with current and future requirements. - -## The Two Main Flaws of Existing Data Centers - -### Inadequate Power Provision - -The advent of AI has dramatically escalated power needs. An AI-centric rack can consume up to 200 kW – a staggering 15 times more than the capacity of data centers built in the conventional model. This exponential increase poses significant challenges, particularly when dissipation exceeds 50 kW per rack. Traditional designs fall short in crucial aspects like cooling and power distribution, with conventional air cooling methods becoming increasingly unviable. - -### The Shift in Market Needs: Beyond Co-location - -The market dynamics have evolved; selling space in a data center, akin to ‘advanced real estate’, is a model that is rapidly losing relevance. The traditional co-location framework, which expects customers to manage their hardware and infrastructure within leased rack space, is becoming antiquated. - -
- -In the modern landscape, the role of a data center should transcend mere space rental. The emphasis should be on providing integrated solutions – selling compute, storage, and network capacity, not just rackspace and power. It’s about delivering a comprehensive service that aligns with the complex, ever-evolving needs of businesses immersed in the digital and AI revolution. - -## The Data Center Landscape Today - -Tier 3 and Tier 4 Data Centers are classifications outlined by the Uptime Institute, which provide standards for the design, construction, and operation of data centers. The Institute defines four tiers (1, 2, 3, & 4) to categorize data centers according to their design and infrastructure capabilities. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on the top two tiers. - -### Tier 3 - -A Tier 3 Data Center is a type of data center facility that is designed to provide a high level of availability and redundancy for IT infrastructure and data storage. - -
- -#### Key Characteristics - -- Availability: Tier 3 Data Centers typically offer 99.982% availability, translating to around 1.6 hours of downtime per year. -- Redundancy: They feature N+1 redundancy for power and cooling systems, providing backup components to ensure continuous operation in case of failure. -- Concurrent Maintenance: Tier 3 Data Centers allow for maintenance and repairs to be performed on systems without disrupting operations. -- Cost: Tier 3 Data Centers are less expensive to build and operate compared to Tier 4 due to lower redundancy requirements. - -It's important to note that while Tier 3 Data Centers provide a high level of availability and redundancy, they are not as robust as Tier 4 Data Centers, which are designed to provide even higher levels of fault tolerance and uptime. The choice of data center tier depends on the specific needs and risk tolerance of the organization using the facility. - -#### Key Challenges - -- Limited Uptime: Despite high reliability, Tier 3 Data Centers may still experience noticeable downtime, which could impact critical operations. -- Single Points of Failure: While designed for redundancy, Tier 3 Data Centers may still have single points of failure, potentially leading to downtime during component failures. -- Scalability: They may have limitations in scalability compared to higher tier data centers, potentially requiring more significant upgrades for expansion. - -
- -When a business is considering colocation or hosting in a Tier 3 Data Center, it's important to assess its power requirements carefully. For operations with high power demands, it might be necessary to discuss with the data center provider the possibilities of allocating additional power resources or choosing a high-density zone within the data center. Data center providers typically measure power in kilowatts (kW) per rack and will have different pricing models based on the power and cooling requirements of the equipment hosted. - -### Tier 4 - -A Tier 4 Data Center is the most advanced type of data center tier, as classified by the Uptime Institute. The Tier 4 Data Center is the most robust and less prone to failures. Its design ensures redundancy and reliability. - -#### Key Characteristics - -- Availability: Tier 4 Data Centers offer the highest level of availability, typically guaranteeing 99.995% uptime or just around 26.3 minutes of downtime per year. -- Fault Tolerance: They feature a fault-tolerant design with 2N+1 redundancy for critical systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during component failures. -- Redundancy: Tier 4 Data Centers have redundant power and cooling distribution paths, eliminating single points of failure. -- Security: They often have advanced security measures in place, including biometric access controls and surveillance systems. - -#### Key Challenges - -- Complexity: Tier 4 Data Centers are more complex and expensive to design, build, and maintain due to their fault-tolerant architecture. -- High Cost: The increased redundancy and fault tolerance come with higher costs, making Tier 4 Data Centers more expensive to operate compared to lower tiers. -- Overkill for Some Applications: For organizations with less critical operations or smaller budgets, Tier 4 Data Centers may be overkill and not cost-effective. - -### Choosing Between Tier 3 and Tier 4 - -- Cost vs. Need: Tier 4 Data Centers are significantly more expensive to build and operate. Organizations should assess whether they need the highest level of uptime and fault tolerance that Tier 4 provides. -- Business Requirements: Businesses that can afford occasional downtimes for maintenance or those that don't have extremely critical data operations may find Tier 3 facilities adequately sufficient. -- Industry Compliance: Certain industries may require or favor Tier 4 facilities due to regulatory requirements. - -
- -In summary, while both Tier 3 and Tier 4 Data Centers are designed to ensure high levels of uptime and reliability, Tier 4 takes this a step further with increased redundancy, fault tolerance, and a correspondingly higher price point. - -## Introducing the Tier S Data Center - -The Tier S model is designed to exceed the capabilities of traditional Tier 3 and 4 Data Centers, addressing the increasing demand for infrastructure that can support emerging IT workloads with greater efficiency and resilience. Where "S" stands for "Self-Healing," Tier S Data Centers present a new way forward, while remaining backwards compatible. - -
- -The Tier S "circular approach" allows us to build the most reliable and redundant data centers in the world. A larger data center (typically 2-10 mW capacity) is extended with at least nine edge data centers. Key features include advanced liquid cooling technology and cybersecurity mechanisms, enhancing the center's ability to handle complex IT workloads like AI and ML. - -
- -Flexibility is central to the design, with each edge data center capable of housing 3-30 pods (subsections), and a versatile main data center. The innovative self-healing technology ensures continuous, secure operations, reducing downtime and maintenance needs. The infrastructure, integrating state-of-the-art hydro coolant distribution units, is designed for high-performance computing, meeting emerging technological demands. - -### Key Benefits - -- Superior Reliability: Data storage is highly secure and can't be lost, would even be safe if quantum computing would be used for hacking. -- 100% Redundancy: Fully redundant power and network paths. All hardware is equipped with liquid cooling for enhanced reliability and energy-efficiency.. -- Capacity and Expansion: A main data center with a 2-10 MW capacity, supplemented by at least 9 edge data centers. -- Flexible Configuration: Each edge data center can include 3 to 30 pods (more information below), with the main data centers configurable as pod, rack, or container-based. -- Disaster Resilience: The circular design, with a main data center and edge data centers, offers robust protection against natural disasters, war, or unrest. -- Self-Healing: Equipped with self-healing properties, Tier S Data Centers ensure that workloads can operate safely with minimal need for human intervention. - -## In Conclusion - -The existing data center model is simply insufficient for emerging demands of the IT world. Billions of dollars will be mis-spent if we continue down the existing path. This is why ThreeFold is presenting a new approach. While the Tier S Data Center is still in its conceptual phase, we are actively working with partners on implementing the first of its kind in the near future. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/tier_s_data_center/tier_s_data_center.png b/content/blog/tier_s_data_center/tier_s_data_center.png deleted file mode 100644 index b83419c5a..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/tier_s_data_center/tier_s_data_center.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/transformative_impact_summit/flotis.JPG b/content/blog/transformative_impact_summit/flotis.JPG deleted file mode 100755 index ad0bc7514..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/transformative_impact_summit/flotis.JPG and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/transformative_impact_summit/index.md b/content/blog/transformative_impact_summit/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 92c063c96..000000000 --- a/content/blog/transformative_impact_summit/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,100 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: transformative_impact_summit -title: Creating Transformative Impact -image_caption: Transformative Impact Summit -description: Learn about the Transformative Impact Summit, held June 7 - 9 in Zanzibar, and how ThreeFold participated. -date: 2024-06-14 -taxonomies: - people: [sam_taggart] - tags: [community] - categories: [community] -extra: - imgPath: transformative_impact_summit.png ---- - -*“By bringing together those dedicating their lives to making the world a better place, and empowering them with exposure, support, connection, and funding, we not only celebrate transformative impact, we create it.”* - -

- -Partnerships were forged, friendships were formed, and at least one project received some funding – other outcomes remain to be seen, as it has only been a few days since the summit ended. - -### **Why Zanzibar? Why Now?** - -Last April, some of the ThreeFold team attended Zuzalu, a two-month “pop-up city” co-created by Vitalik Buterin, who was inspired in part by the idea of network states and wanting to simulate new ways of living together. - -
- -During those weeks, we had the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of interesting and innovative organizations and individuals. It was an amalgamation of people from around the world, some there for Web3, some for longevity, others network states, and many with a focus on impact. - -
- -One person we really connected and aligned with was Elliott Bayev of [Global Unity](https://www.globalunity.org/), who has since become a dear friend of our project. Elliott is a super-connector, weaver of people and concepts, and storyteller – on a mission to unite humanity and empower global cooperation. At the time, he was in the midst of planning for the first Transformative Impact Summit, which was held last fall in New York City during UN Climate Week. - -
- -While at Zuzalu, with Elliott and others, we often talked about the noticeably low presence of attendees from certain regions, specifically Africa. Visa restrictions and sometimes lack of resources made it difficult for this audience to attend. This seemed unfair, to say the least, and did not allow for these important voices to be heard. - -
- -What resulted was a commitment to do our part in bringing these types of conversations to the African continent. ThreeFold partnered with Niklas Anzinger to create the [Africa Regenerative Cities Summit](https://lu.ma/zanzibar_regen) last July and did a follow-up event last November. We’ve hosted and participated in other smaller events in Zanzibar and nearby Dar Es Salaam. Now, Elliott has brought the second Transformative Impact Summit to Zanzibar. (And we'd be remiss not to mention the team who put together and hosted [Zanzalu](https://zanzalu.super.site/), a direct spin-off / extension of last year’s Zuzalu.) - -### **ThreeFold at Transformative Impact Summit** - -ThreeFold was honored to present on a few different occasions throughout the summit and had the pleasure of hosting two evening events for speakers and attendees. - -
- -![Image](./kristoftis.JPG) - -
- -On the first day of the summit, our co-founder Kristof De Spiegeleer spoke on the topic of Public Private Partnerships being a model that can change Africa, and on Saturday he spoke on a panel about uplifting Africa with technology and more specifically about ThreeFold, OurWorld, and the OurWorld Digital Free Zone project. - -
- -In addition, ThreeFold ecosystem developer Florian Fournier spoke on the topic of crafting a conscious society for our world on the second day. And Gregory Flipo, co-founder of Sikana and ecosystem developer for ThreeFold presented on educational video content on a global scale. Crucially, all three were clear in communicating that new decentralized and sovereign infrastructure and systems are key to enabling truly transformative impact. - -
- -![Image](./flotis.JPG) - -
- -While the talks throughout the summit inspired and gave context, much of the magic happened in the evening gatherings or even now after the summit has ended, where we have been able to connect more one-on-one to explore ways of collaboration with some of the attendees and speakers. - -### **What’s Next?** - -Elliott and Global Unity continue their efforts to connect and empower individuals and organizations dedicating their lives to making the world a better place, with a strong commitment to Africa and its people. Their next event will be the annual Transformative Impact Summit in NYC during Climate Week, September 27-29. - -

-
-The concept inspired new structures and philosophies in many areas of human interaction. P2P systems and groups are typically critical of authoritarian and centralized social structures and believe in equality, meritocracy, flat systems, participatory & circular economies, as the concept represents a concrete pathway to these outcomes or visions. -
-
-P2P systems are network, not linear or 'pyramidal' hierarchies (though they may share some elements). They are 'distributed', though they may have elements of 'centralization' and 'decentralization.' And intelligence is not located at any center, but everywhere within the system. - -## How does ThreeFold relate to peer-to-peer? - -ThreeFold's Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing network is a distributed architecture that splits tasks and workloads between its peers, ThreeFold Farmers. Farmers are equal participants in the network and together they form a peer-to-peer network of nodes, the ThreeFold Grid. -
-
-Farmers make their resources, such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth, directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination by servers or stable hosts. Farmers are both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to the traditional [client-server](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-server) model in which the consumption and supply of resources is divided. -
-
-In the near future, ThreeFold will create Digital Twin, which will go beyond the era of peers doing similar things while sharing resources. It will actually enable much more than that. Digital Twin will create a complete new digital world with diverse peers that can bring in unique resources and capabilities to a [virtual community](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_community) on the ThreeFold Grid. This will empower the network of peers to engage in greater tasks beyond those that can be accomplished by individual peers, and are beneficial to all the peers. - -## Why did ThreeFold choose peer-to-peer?  - -Everything starts (or should start) from the why, and the ThreeFold story started a long time ago. Before the inception of ThreeFold, many of the co-founders of the project used to work with the largest IT & Cloud actors. Throughout their experience working in the Industry, they realized that the complexity of the technology and the centralization of knowledge & power led to an inefficient, unsustainable, not scalable and unequally distributed infrastructure. So they decided to redesign the whole Internet and cloud infrastructure bottom-up with the vision of shaping a global internet economy that can scale anywhere efficiently, cost efficiently and sustainably.  - -## Why does the world needs peer-to-peer?  - -By developing the technology, the conviction that peer-to-peer was the best solution for humanity and the planet strengthened itself. Why? Well, put simply, a peer-to-peer system removes all forms of intermediaries, unnecessary steps and complexity from the picture. Therefore, it simplifies the architecture in an incredible way. The benefits are many but here are the most popular benefits: - -
- -- *Privacy*: Our peer-to-peer environment means no middlemen or intermediaries, meaning data travels directly between peers and stored on the nodes of their choice rather than being sent through and stored by a third party. -- *Security*: Data stored in data centers is susceptible to security breaches. In bypassing data centers and exchanging data directly between peers, we can achieve much greater security as it reduces code and back doors significantly.  -- *Scalability*: In a many-to-many system, scale is essentially unlimited. There is simply no bottleneck. And hardware (nodes) can be added at ease compared to current data center model. -- *Cost-efficiency & Sustainability*: End-to-end (direct) connection between peers means a more efficient path for data and less energy is needed. Less energy means less cost, and less harm to our planet. - -
- -Peer-to-peer systems, like ThreeFold's decentralized network, represent a transformative step towards a more efficient, secure, and equitable digital world. By removing intermediaries and relying on distributed resources, P2P networks offer unmatched privacy, scalability, and sustainability. As the world continues to evolve, embracing peer-to-peer solutions will be essential for building a fairer, more resilient digital infrastructure—one that empowers individuals and communities to thrive without relying on traditional centralized models. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/content/blog/what_is_peer_to_peer/peer_to_peer.png b/content/blog/what_is_peer_to_peer/peer_to_peer.png deleted file mode 100644 index 83bc196e5..000000000 Binary files a/content/blog/what_is_peer_to_peer/peer_to_peer.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blog/zero_os_blog/index.md b/content/blog/zero_os_blog/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index c221f1b21..000000000 --- a/content/blog/zero_os_blog/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,59 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: zero_os_blog -title: A Scalable and Secure Operating System -image_caption: zero os -description: To create a new Internet from scratch, ThreeFold had to start at the operating system level. -date: 2021-05-18 -taxonomies: - people: [sacha_obeegadoo] - tags: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] - categories: [decentralization, grid, cloud, tech] -extra: - imgPath: zero_os_blog.png - - ---- -Just like a brain is an interconnected network of neurons, the Internet (or internet) is a global interconnected network of computers and devices that communicate with each other via the [Internet protocol suite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite) (TCP/IP). The communications infrastructure of the Internet consists of hardware components and a system of software layers that control various aspects of the architecture. -
-
-To create a new Internet from scratch, ThreeFold had to start at the operating system (OS) level. An operating system is a software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. And this is how Zero OS was born - -## What makes Zero OS special? - -Zero OS is a stateless and lightweight operating system. Given it has no shell, remote or server interface, it is much safer than the big majority of the OSs on the market. When storing your data on Zero OS, it is fingerprinted and made available only when requested by you or those you provide access to. -
-
-The state of an application represents its state of being in a given moment in time. Think of a stateless transaction as vending machines, a single request and a response. In ThreeFold’s Internet infrastructure, this can be represented as data being accessible only when requested. -The only way to access data on Zero OS is via the private key (or fingerprint) of a user. In that sense, the data is not accessible unless the data owner requests access to it. - -## How does Zero OS apply to developers? - -Thanks to its lightweight architecture, Zero OS is a perfect fit to run microservice architectures and emerging IT workloads such as IoT, Blockchains, Big Data, and more. A key benefit of microservice architecture is the freedom it offers you to choose the best runtime for the task at hand. -
-
-Let’s take the example of decentralizing service-oriented developing teams. A common challenge there is that most of the time they don’t really understand the applications they are exposing. But no one knows the data infrastructure of the applications better than those who craft them. -
-
-ThreeFold permits decentralized developer teams with the ability to share keys (access) to the developing environment on Zero OS and the gateways to the world wide web within the secure peer-to-peer overlay network. This is game changing. Also with all the automation frameworks provided, it creates the perfect environment to develop current and emerging technologies. -
-
-Put shortly, decentralized development and integration is now officially an organizational or cultural change, not a technical one anymore. - -## Zero OS allows anyone to provide sovereign capacity - -Given stateless systems separate the OS configuration and user data, Zero OS simplifies the maintenance and the deployment of digital workloads, while making it impossible to hack into user data on a hardware level. -
-
-3Nodes provide all the storage, compute and network primitives for a new internet infrastructure. Given they are booted with Zero OS, anyone can now participate in the Internet economy without jeopardizing user data sovereignty and security. -
-
-Conclusively, Zero OS is ultra secure, perfect to develop current and future technologies, and enables anyone to take part in the planet positive and data sovereign Internet brought by ThreeFold. -

You can check out a current map of the nodes online on the [ThreeFold Explorer](https://dashboard.grid.tf/explorer/statistics) - -
- -The ThreeFold Grid consists of three synergistic layers: The Nodes, The Network, and the BlockChain. - -
- -- **The Nodes:** These are hardware that gives its grid its power, The requirements for running a 3Node are a bare metal x86_64 machine and a reliable internet connection. These nodes can be hosted in a variety of environments spanning at home deployments to rented-space DC's. This includes DC's themselves being able to bring capacity online so long as it’s a fully bare metal device. - - - You can find **_plug and play solutions_** for bringing a 3Node online on the [3Node marketplace](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php?dispatch= categories.view&category_id=167), this marketplace includes node offerings from both the organizations itself as well as multiple independent businesses that have become certified 3Node Resellers. - - - If you're familiar with the concepts of building a server/pc you can also bring your hardware online as **_D.I.Y 3Node_** this allows you to contribute any additional hardware you may have in your deployment to the support of both the grids network and compute capacity. you can find documentation on D.I.Y nodes on the [Forums](https://forum.threefold.io/t/diy-nodes-guide/837) or in the [Wiki](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__diy_guide) - - Each node is booted using a fully in house developed autonomous operating system that automates both node deployment and workloads being deployed on the node after its online, called [Zero-OS](https://github.com/threefoldtech/zos). This OS is a hypervisor environment that accepts commands from and is managed by the block-chain. - -
- -- **The Network(s):** The grid is supported by multiple internal and external networks that allow for the nodes to function as a decentralized data center. This is made of two major components. - - - **Z-Net**- is an internal private overlay network between VMs, Kubernetes Nodes, Containers and the grid. This network allows for minimal usage of Public ipv4 space while still allowing for global deployment solutions encompassing multiple 3Nodes. - - - **Planetary Network-** This is a peer to peer end to encrypted network solution based on opensource technologies (yggdrasil) that allow grid users to create, develop and overlay networks designed to protect users ability to communicate and access information. You can find the github Repo [here](https://github.com/threefoldtech/planetary_network), with 3000 endpoints all controlled by a single DAO, the potential exists to create the most reliable peer to peer mesh in existence. - - - **Public IPv4-** Threefold farmers have the ability to add Public Ipv4 to the grid in addition to their compute capacity, these IPs can be deployed as gateway addresses in support of the grid, or rented by end users for their workloads, at the time of this writing the threefold grid has 1114 Public Ipv4 addresses available for use. you can find documentation on adding I.P addresses to the grid [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/diy-public-node-guide/3340) - -
- -- **The BlockChain:** the blockchain technologies built into the Threefold Grid represent what makes the grid truly unique and allows it to be utilized to support customer facing workloads or provide a decentralized compute resource pool. grid utilization is supported and created through two avenues - - - **Individuals:** can deploy any workload they need on any node on the grid, if it can run on Linux it can run on the grid, this type of use is supported by the [Threefold Playground](https://play.grid.tf/#/), a decentralized deployment solution that provides industry standard Linux vps deployments as multiple use case specific deployment solutions for [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/), [Caprover](https://caprover.com/), [Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/), [Funkwhale](https://funkwhale.audio/), [Mattermost](https://mattermost.com/), [Discourse](https://www.discourse.org/), [Taiga](https://www.taiga.io/), [Owncloud](https://owncloud.com/), [Presearch](https://presearch.io/), [SubSquid](https://subsquid.io/), [CasperLabs](https://casperlabs.io/), and [Node Pilot](https://nodepilot.tech/) - - - Custom VM images cab be uploaded to the [Threefold Hub](https://hub.grid.tf/) allowing full deployment customization with any Linux os image supporting cloud-init. Documentation on creating custom images can be found [On the Forums](https://forum.threefold.io/t/manipulating-cloud-images-for-the-grid/3380) - - - Storage workloads can be deployed using [Terraform](https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid) with offerings of HDD, SSD and [Quantum Safe File Storage](https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid) - - - **Solution Providers**: these are developers of user facing services that utilize the grid as their hosting platform. These organizations/individuals are able to develop customized solutions that provide needed services in their market and receive rewards for the utilization that their developments bring. A great example of this is [Zonaris](https://zonaris.con/), which is a third party organization that is quickly taking the lead in grid solution development. They have recently released an interface that allows end users to deploy [Streamr](https://streamr.network/discover/network/) nodes on the Threefold grid while paying in fiat currency. you can get started with them at [Get Zonaris](https://get.zonaris.com/). - - - This allows developers to invest in only their code while having the infrastructure of a worldwide virtual data center at their disposal to scale their solutions with their business needs. - - - Solution providers are able to automate their tools being deployed on the grid using [Terraform](https://github.com/threefoldtech/terraform-provider-grid). - -
- -What this has all truly come together to form is an organization where anyone can contribute to building a more private and secure internet that is designed to allow universal access to information and compute power regardless of the end user's nationality or beliefs. Threefold truly exists to capitalize on the ideal economies from every corner of the world, in order to provide a better digital future for all. - -
- -**What Can You Do?** - -Much of what you see today at Threefold.io is the work of 100s of decentralized contributors working together towards a common goal. The grid is designed so that anyone can contribute whether you're a developer, a property owner, an I.S.P, or just someone with a spare computer and a network connection. As it stands the grid is strong and well supported across the world. The biggest impact that can be made today is by developing solutions that leverage the grid and use its resources to bring affordable and accessible hosting to end users. - -
- -There are many discussions happening on the [Threefold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io) about partnerships with other projects and how we can better support both the crypto landscape and the general internet user base.

The average cost per rack in a hyper-scale data center is $20-35K USD including all energy requirements and safety systems. The cost of hardware per rack is around the $200-300K USD mark. -
-
-What is often forgotten is that anything that is of enormous scale and highly concentrated comes with complexity and specific problems to deal with. For example. resource requirements such as investment, operational costs, knowledge, and people increase significantly with size. -
-
-In reality, keeping things simple, small, and distributed is much more cost-effective than large complex environments. - -### Myth 2: Big data centers can be sustainable - -The carbon footprint of a big data center is enormous. To improve the power usage effectiveness (PUE) of most data center farmers have adopted wind, hydro, and/or solar power technologies, which indeed helps drop their PUE by an estimated 20%. But is this leading to more sustainability? -
-
-This 20% looks great on paper and in the farmers' corporate social responsibility reports. However, it just represents an improvement in the cooling technology and sourcing of energy. It doesn't actually impact the energy consumed by the equipment that runs in their data centers (servers, storage chassis, physical disks, etc.) which is the equipment responsible for the carbon footprint. PUE only refers to overhead power consumption, i.e. cooling the facility, opening, and closing doors, maintaining power security systems, etc. -
-
-Real improvement lies in deploying technologies that actually consume less power to deliver the actual Internet capacity to run workloads, real CPU chassis, physical disks, and storage cabinets. Improving on how hardware is being more effectively used can have an impact of up to a thousand percent and lead to ten times more power-efficiency. - -### Myth 3: Redundant systems have better uptime - -A lot of us believe that systems need redundancy mechanisms to improve their operational uptime and reliability. While it may make sense to IT experts, let's translate this for the non-IT world? -
-
-To make a car more reliable we add redundancy (as we do in IT). So for the risk of having a puncture, we add one extra tire for all the tires we use continuously. This adds 4 extra tires to the car. Then a decision needs to be made: Do we put those tires in a structure where they are always running along with the primary tires or do we choose not to have them "online" all the time, wearing and tearing in the same way as the primary tires? -
-
-Building such a system would take a large number of engineers to come up with a solution, and would change cars as we know them. Wouldn't it make more sense to think outside the box and solve the root of the problem by making tires un-deflatable? -
-
-The IT industry has gone overboard with the concept of redundancy, having forgotten to look at the root cause issues. This has spawned a whole new industry of itself, which has a financial interest in creating complicated and expensive redundant systems. - -### Myth 4: Big companies optimize better - -Big companies with a certain track record will know better how to optimize as they have more people and resources. -
-
-At first glance, this sounds logical, but in reality, ninety percent of the innovation within the IT space comes from startups. The giant IT companies have a heritage they hardly can overcome. They are locked in old infrastructure designs, and building outside of that infrastructure would be costly, timely, and probably put the breaks on their businesses. -
-
-Real innovation gives way to fix the core symptoms rather than taking the problem pain-killer approach. diff --git a/content/blogarchive/blockchain_dilemma/blockchain_dilemma.png b/content/blogarchive/blockchain_dilemma/blockchain_dilemma.png deleted file mode 100644 index e897871b5..000000000 Binary files a/content/blogarchive/blockchain_dilemma/blockchain_dilemma.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blogarchive/blockchain_dilemma/index.md b/content/blogarchive/blockchain_dilemma/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 5ef4d8f48..000000000 --- a/content/blogarchive/blockchain_dilemma/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,119 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: threefold_foundation_34 -title: Solving the Blockchain Dilemma -image_caption: blockchain -description: Blockchain technology has the power to change the world of IT.

There are a huge number of new initiatives using blockchain technology around the world, with countless use cases. -
-
-In general, there are two types of blockchains: proof of work blockchains and proof of stake blockchains. They are consensus algorithms on how transactions are verified and added to the ledger (forever, as blockchains provide an immutable record of events). More on these two types of blockchains below. - -## Blockchain Basics - -A blockchain is, as the word says, a chain of blocks of information. These “blocks” contain information on transactions. For instance transactions like the transfer of value of a digital currency (token) from wallet A to wallet B. The “chain” aspect comes when part of the information is stored in a block as a link to the previous block (a unique number). This is a very simple representation of what a blockchain is. - -## Private, Permissioned or Public Blockchains - -The complexity around a blockchain comes from how the blockchain software is run. The software can run in two different ways: a small (or large) number of nodes controlled by one single entity (private blockchain) a person or a company, or a large (or small) number of nodes controlled by multiple entities (public) that do not know each other and where anyone interested to run a blockchain node can join. -
-
-By running blockchain software under the supervision of one entity (private, centralized) you can quite easily make sure the information stored in the blockchain (transactions) are not tempered with by only operating a small number of nodes and deploying them in very safe physical locations (private data-centers, vaults, basements of offices, etc). A private blockchain does not allow unknown entities to join and run the blockchain software. -
-
-A permissioned blockchain is operated by known entities such as stakeholders of a given industry. It is a mix of both private and public blockchains. In this type of blockchain network, a participant may not need permission to join the network but needs permission to transact with another network participant. -
-
-A public blockchain allows anyone to join the blockchain operation and create a new blockchain node. The blockchain is run by multiple entities (decentralized, public) that have no relationship nor knowledge about each other -
-
-For these three types of blockchains, there are different mechanisms to protect and guarantee the validity of transactions and make them tamper-proof. - -## Private Data and Anonymous or Pseudo-Anonymous Data? - -For private blockchains, it is straightforward to see that all data that is stored on private blockchains is private and creates 100% anonymity for its users. The only entity or person that has access to information stored on the blockchain is the blockchain operator. This is comparable to how a bank operates. The bank knows everything about all of its customers and the customers only know about themselves - the non-bank customers do not know a thing. -
-
-On a public blockchain, people can join and operate a blockchain node on which all information of that blockchain is stored. While private blockchains get their security from putting their blockchain nodes in secure buildings operated by trusted people a public blockchain achieves its security from having a large number of nodes that have the same data replicated over and over. A consensus algorithm is required in order to accept new data (new blocks) to the chain. - -## Consensus Protocols for Public Blockchains - -The main consensus protocols used today are Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake. - -### Proof of Work (High Cost in Compute and Energy) - -The proof of work consensus protocol is best explained as a race. The consensus is achieved by having all participating nodes solve a puzzle. The puzzle is a one-way translation of an amount of information consisting of the following items: -- All the data that present the transactions in the block - all the data is known by all participating nodes -- The number of the previous block. Remember a blockchain links blocks of information together. -- A (variable) number. This number is the part that can be changed. -
-
-The “work” is done by changing the variable number and see what the translation of all data brings. The translation of all this data is a new number, and the requirement is that that number needs to be smaller than what is known as the “difficulty level”. The difficulty level number has a fixed amount of numbers but when the first digits of the number are zero the overall number is lower. So a higher difficulty is built by having a number that has more zeros at the start in the difficulty number. -
-
-Once the block is completed, all nodes will get the complete block of transactional data, everyone knows the previous block number and will start to change the variable number to get output from the puzzle algorithms comparing it to the required difficulty level. -
-
-The node that will find the number first will announce that it has found a solution matching the required difficulty level and the variable number of shared with all nodes in the network to verify that his solution is correct. If a large portion of the nodes has verified the solution to be valid the solution is accepted and the block is added to the chain because consensus is reached. - -### Proof of (Block) Stake (Low Cost in Compute and Energy) - -With proof of stake consensus algorithms, the consensus algorithm does not solve puzzles in a race to be the first. The first step is to identify and allow a certain number of nodes to be part of the blockchain. This is called a permissioned blockchain because you need to have permission to partake. This permission is given by distributing stakes. -
-
-Proof of Stake consensus mechanism is solving a puzzle, but the puzzle contains only static elements - not variables - based on different characteristics: -- The block number -- The content (part) of blocks a long time ago (>2000 blocks) -- The transaction number (between the first and the last transaction) in the block of the stake transfer transaction all participating nodes needs to -- The current timestamp -
-
-All these numbers are fixed but the time stamp and every node in the block stake blockchain will solve this puzzle every second until the output of this puzzle matches the required difficulty level. -
-
-To make sure the one node that has solved the puzzle to match the difficulty level cannot introduce information in the block which allows him to tamper with the next blocks this node cannot use his used stake for a period amount of time for creating new blocks. -
-
-The fact that the puzzle-solving includes historic block data and once a node is assigned to create the block and put it on a chain will not be able to use that block state for a period of time makes it very costly to try to tamper with the content of the block (and the next blocks). - -## The Blockchain Dilemma Problem - -Public and private blockchains have their specific advantages and disadvantages and are very good for specific use cases - but not all. If we list the specifics of both we end up with a table like this: -
-
-| * | Public Blockchains | Private Blockchains | -|---|---|---| -| Security | Provided by having a large number of nodes running it | Provided by having them in secure controlled places | -| People | Build, managed and controlled by unknown people | Build, managed, and controlled by known people | -| Speed | Slow by design - all data needs to be copied to all of them | Fast(er) and more efficient by design - a smaller number of copies of the blockchain data | -
-
-So what if we want to have a secure, performant, and easy to manage blockchain solution? This is not what can be delivered by either type of blockchains. We have to create a new type of blockchain that combines the best of both worlds and delivers. -
-
-The key element in finding a solution for this problem is to take the human element out of it. The fact that when you deploy blockchains solutions in locations without human intervention means that you need to create a different deployment mechanism that takes out people touching code, compiling code, deploying code, and in the end operating the machine in which the code runs. -
-
-A way to get around the trusted people problem is to select a platform on which software can be downloaded, compiled, installed, and operated without human intervention. Such a platform is a unique platform that has not been developed and launched. Such a platform would have to have the following characteristics. To make this system work and solve the blockchain dilemma we need to have three components working together in an orchestrated way. The three elements are: -
-
- -- **Zero-OS**: A (simple) operating system that does not allow local and remote logins - a closed operating system that receives instructions to launch or kill applications. This operating system needs to be stateless to keep as simple as possible: -- **3Bot**: A virtual system administrator that is able to perform system administration tasks to make the system operate, self-heal and execute instructions from authenticated and authorized sources. -- **Zero-Chain**: A ledger or database to store information with regards to authentication, operational and financial transactions. -
-
-This system architecture allows for authenticated and trusted virtual system administrators to download, compile and deploy software on a grid of secure Zero-OS nodes with an immutable ledger that records all transactions, operational and financial. This presents a platform on which a public (permissioned) blockchain can be run securely without requiring trusted people to operate the nodes. -
-
-In such architecture, we can build and deploy a high-performance secure blockchain which are the combined benefits of a public and private blockchain. diff --git a/content/blogarchive/blockheating_intro/blockheating_intro.png b/content/blogarchive/blockheating_intro/blockheating_intro.png deleted file mode 100644 index 65db6000a..000000000 Binary files a/content/blogarchive/blockheating_intro/blockheating_intro.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blogarchive/blockheating_intro/index.md b/content/blogarchive/blockheating_intro/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index ab03f5c3d..000000000 --- a/content/blogarchive/blockheating_intro/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,62 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: blockheating_intro -title: This ThreeFold Farm Keeps Veggies Warm -image_caption: Meet Blockheating -description: Somewhere in the Netherlands, a ThreeFold Farm is supporting the growth of vegetable crops such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. -date: 2021-07-23 -taxonomies: - people: [sam_taggart] - tags: [community, decentralization, farming, why] - categories: [community, decentralization, farming, why] -extra: - imgPath: blockheating_intro.png ---- - -*"This article was originally published by Roel Van Sabben, a former member of ThreeFold Foundation."* - -
- -Somewhere in the Netherlands, a ThreeFold Farm is supporting the growth of vegetable crops such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. By directing the excess heat generated from the hardware operations to the greenhouse next door, they are able to achieve an incredible model that benefits both hardware and vegetables. -
-
-Jeroen Burks, CEO of Blockheating, tells us everything we need to know about their sustainable farming operations. As far as he can remember, Jeroen has always been a protagonist of the “no waste” approach. He started by recycling material previously used by the tech industry, mainly in the cloud market. -
-
-"By default, most data center operations replace their power supplies every 3 years, no matter the state they are in. They are being replaced to counter any possible downtime." -
-
-By refurbishing and repurposing “old” power units from data centers, he gives them a second life as electric tractor chargers, lithium ION pack chargers, and more. -
-
-"You just need to trick the unit into thinking it is still powering servers, add some cables here and there, and it is ready for duty." -
-
-His quest towards sustainability started when he was challenged on a pilot project. His friend had bought a new building and was looking for the most sustainable approach to heating it. Jeroen came up with the idea of putting two server racks in the basement and using the heat from that operation, to heat the offices and spaces above. While this project was a success, Jeroen realised that it could be way more efficient, if done with other structures. -
-
-He quickly engaged with a second pilot project where he used two server racks to heat a small greenhouse. This model turned out to be a great combination, which benefited both hardware, as well as farming operations. And so sprouted ‘Blockheating’ -- a data center that provides heat for tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. Why specifically these vegetables? Well, the Netherlands has a fair amount of greenhouses cultivating them, and these ‘veggies’ need that heat during summer nights. -
-
-Right now Blockheating has around 400 compute nodes with direct cooling that stores all the heat in a buffer throughout the day, which is then released into the greenhouses during the night hours. -"By doing it the way we do, we grow the internet grid, help grow vegetables and curb fossil fuel usage – in carbon negative compute power!" -
-
-Right now, Blockheating has a portion of their data center dedicated to ThreeFold Farming for a few reasons: -
-
-- The alignment of values is huge -- ThreeFold Farming is easy to manage -- ThreeFold Farming counters wasteful behavior of internet resources, so it's a triple win - -
-Blockheating envisions to scale up-to three data centers of this kind, in an interconnected way, with a fiber ring between them. By doing so, they will be able to increase their offering and have a larger impact on countering the wasteful patterns of the cloud industry. -
-
-ThreeFold is proud to have Blockheating as a ‘State-of-the-Art’ Farmer and Partner, and hopes to see many more people and companies inspired by Blockheating around the world, to expand the ‘People’s Internet’ in a regenerative way. -

- -Wondering how to switch between blockchains? Cross-chain bridges allow you to easily transfer TFT from one blockchain to another.  - -
- -Since the launch of [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__threefold_grid) 3.0, [TFT](https://threefold.io/tft) has been available on three blockchains – Stellar, Binance Smart Chain and the Substrate-based ThreeFold Blockchain (aka TF Chain). - -
- -There are already active bridges that connect Stellar to Binance Smart Chain and [TF Chain](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/), improving the accessibility and availability of TFT, while also connecting the ThreeFold ecosystem to external blockchain networks. - -
- -Learn more about TF Chain in our blog post [here](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/). - -## What are bridges and why are they important? - -The concept of bridges in crypto is similar to a bridge in the physical world. Bridges in the real world simply connect two different locations and communities so that the people can travel back and forth and resources can be exchanged freely. - -
- -Similarly, using bridges in blockchain allows users to easily transfer tokens and other crypto assets between two or more networks – regardless of the different protocols, tooling, and governance models these networks have. Simply put, a bridge ensures a secure interoperability between different blockchains. - -
- -ThreeFold uses blockchain bridges to connect external blockchain networks to the ThreeFold ecosystem. The bridging mechanisms we’ve implemented allow TFT to be transferred securely between [different blockchains](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__money_blockchain_partity_link). Currently, we’ve established **two 2-way bridges**: - -
- -* Stellar <> Binance Smart Chain -* Stellar <> TF Chain - -
- -But what is the difference between the 3 chains? - -
- -**[Stellar](https://www.stellar.org/?locale=en)** is an open-source network for storing and moving digital assets, and still remains the main blockchain for the minting of TFT and distribution of farming rewards. Until the launch of TF Chain with Grid 3.0, only TFT living on Stellar were accepted for the reservation of Internet capacity on the ThreeFold Grid.  - -
- -**[Binance Smart Chain](https://www.binance.org/en/smartChain)** (BSC) is a standalone, parallel Binance chain that is a leading DeFi ecosystem next to Ethereum. On BSC, TFT is implemented as a cross-chain asset, allowing anyone to [connect](https://bridge.bsc.threefold.io/) to the bridge using [Metamask](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tft_bsc_metamask) or [Trust Wallet](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__threefold_wallets?id=the-threefold-connect-app) – the most popular Web 3 wallets in the world. - -
- -**[TF Chain](https://threefold.io/tech/tf-chain)** was built on the [Substrate framework](https://substrate.io/) with the purpose of decentralizing user-farmer relationships on the ThreeFold Grid. It has its own native form of [TFT](https://threefold.io/tft), which can be bridged back and forth from Stellar-based TFT. This model will be implemented for other chains in the future, for interoperability and cross-chain features between blockchain and DeFi ecosystems and the ThreeFold Grid. - -## What’s new with TF Chain? - -TF Chain represents a leap forward for simplicity in payments for capacity reservations and a move towards greater decentralization of the systems that support the ThreeFold Grid. With the launch of [ThreeFold Grid 3.0](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-new-in-tfgrid-3-0/1133), TF Chain became the official record of ThreeFold farms and nodes, and brought peer-to-peer [billing](https://forum.threefold.io/t/introducing-tf-chain-an-updated-billing-model/1277) based on smart contracts for workload deployments on the ThreeFold Grid.  - -
- -For now, minting will remain on Stellar but reservations of nodes and capacity on ThreeFold Grid 3.0 are already executed via [TF Chain](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__tfchain). Bridges were established between Stellar and TF Chain to facilitate payments, e.g. if you pay for a workload deployment in Stellar TFT, this payment needs to be bridged to TF  Chain’s native TFT to fund the [smart contract](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__smartcontract_it). - -### The two-way [bridge](https://bridge.bsc.threefold.io/) between Stellar & BSC  - -Until recently, the bridge between Stellar and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) was one-way only: from BSC to Stellar. Even though it was possible to transfer TFT from Stellar to BSC via  [command line](https://github.com/threefoldfoundation/tft/blob/main/bsc/bridges/stellar/transfers.md), this was only an option for tech-savvy people. Now, you can also deposit TFT from Stellar to BSC using the bridge with a proper UI, as you can see in the image below. - -
- -![tft_bsc_bridge](./tft_bsc_bridge.png) - -
- -When depositing from TFT Stellar, **please be sure that both addresses and memo are as indicated** in the instructions or the TFT you transfer will be lost forever. To facilitate the process, a **QR code** is generated and can be scanned using the [ThreeFold Connect app](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/tokens/threefold__threefold_connect), automatically filling in the right address and memo on your behalf. - -
- -![tft_bsc_transfer](./tft_bsc_transfer.png) - -
- -As Binance Smart Chain is a more expensive chain, **a fee of 50 TFT** will be automatically charged for the bridge from Stellar to BSC. Find the full **step-by-step guide** for the Stellar-BSC bridge [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tokens/threefold__tft_bsc_bridge).  - -## What’s next?  - -As the ThreeFold ecosystem continues to grow, we’re looking into building more bridges (e.g. Cosmos, Ethereum) to improve the accessibility of TFT and simplify the onboarding of blockchain and DeFi projects on the ThreeFold Grid. TF Chain will play an important role in the further development of the People’s Internet, so give our blog post on TF Chain a read [here](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/).  - -

- -What started out as an idea for a better Internet about a decade ago amongst a few early Internet and Cloud pioneers has now become a reality. Today, ThreeFold is a global movement building a reliable, open and inclusive Internet. - -
- -We’ve reached a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Internet. And ThreeFold is ready to unlock a new Internet era – one filled with [abundance and opportunity](https://www.threefold.io/blog/planet-first-people-first/) for all, one which is better for [our planet](https://www.threefold.io/blog/planting-the-seeds/). Our open-source technology, future-facing ecosystem and collaborative community have the potential to drive this new era forward. - -
- -For us, the Internet was always meant to be [peer-to-peer](https://www.threefold.io/blog/p2p-web3/), where anyone could own hardware, and connect and exchange directly with full security and in full privacy – without any entity in the middle. This is how the Internet began. But as demand grew, big tech began to monopolize its infrastructure and all the major platforms. - -
- -Since its inception, ThreeFold has been committed not only to delivering on the original promise of the Internet, but also to realizing our ultimate vision of a better future for all. For the past six years, we’ve been building up an incredible full-stack, open-source, decentralized Internet, all [from the ground-up](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-threefold-is-building-a-new-internet-from-the-ground-up/2057?u=hannahcordes). We’ve come a long way and the result is, well, exceptional. There is *nothing* else out there like ThreeFold. - -
- -From creating our own blockchain-driven and highly secure [operating system](https://forum.threefold.io/t/all-you-need-to-know-about-zero-os/1734?u=hannahcordes) (which allows computers to become decentralized servers), to building an ultra-scalable [Quantum Safe Storage System](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/qsss/threefold__qsss_home?id=quantum-safe-storage-system), a complete far [edge cloud](https://www.threefold.io/blog/internet-at-the-edge/) computing platform and a [planetary peer-to-peer network](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-our-planetary-network-works/1210?u=hannahcordes) all accessible via a unique Smart Contract for IT on the [ThreeFold Blockchain](https://www.threefold.io/blog/tf-chain/), we’re proud to have the most [complete edge infrastructure](https://www.threefold.io/blog/internet-at-the-edge/) to power the next-generation Internet era. - -
- -And we’re taking concrete steps to further expand this infrastructure that offers a truly decentralized layer 0 for any blockchain or Internet application. Moreover, with the help of our [community of Grid testers](https://t.me/threefoldtesting), we’re continuously advancing the underlying technology and working towards making it usable for as many people and use cases as possible. - -
- -Our vision and technology have matured into the [Internet of Internets](https://www.threefold.io/blog/internet-of-internets/) – a network of thousands of community-built and -owned Internets through which we strive to interconnect all of humanity. A new world is coming, and [our technology](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__technology) has the potential to revolutionize digitization on a global scale, across sectors. And yet we remain a hidden gem. - -
- -So, what solutions does the ThreeFold Grid offer today already? And why exactly should you start to build on top of ThreeFold? Let’s explore some of the many possibilities available today. - -## The ThreeFold Grid – A cutting-edge, highly scalable peer-to-peer infrastructure - -*“ThreeFold is growing the ThreeFold Grid by enabling a community of thousands of farmers from around the world to participate and own a piece of the Internet.” – [Adnan Fatayerji](https://threefold.io/news/post/threefold_cybernews/)* - -
- -The Grid is a peer-to-peer cloud computing network that's highly compatible with current industry standards. In late December 2021, ThreeFold launched the third generation of the ThreeFold Grid on mainnet with a fully functional tech stack – a huge and crucial step towards a fully production-ready and decentralized infrastructure. The third generation not only brought a massive leap forward in the decentralization of the Grid but also made for a much simpler user experience for farmers and Grid users. People from all over the world are connecting thousands of 3Nodes to create the world’s largest decentralized Internet infrastructure, and new capacity is being connected every day. Find the latest Grid stats and utilization numbers in [this regularly updated thread](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-stats-new-nodes-overview/3291?u=hannahcordes). - -
- -[Over the past months](https://www.threefold.io/blog/threefold-2022-reflect-h1-outlook-h2/), the team evolved the Grid through version 3.6.1 and upgraded it to mainnet in July after receiving 100% community approval. This [release](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tfgrid-product-updates-july-2022-tfgrid-v3-6-1-highlights-and-more/3206/2?u=hannahcordes) introduces more stability to the TF Grid and includes various upgrades and new features like the ThreeFold Connect App, the new unified dashboard for a simpler user experience, and more. Big progress was also made in terms of the DAO functionality that went live on TF Chain, with the first TF Chain (L1) DAO proposal was voted on and approved in August. - -
- -And with each new Grid release, we’re getting one step closer to solidifying the foundation of the Internet of Internets. Currently, the team is working towards completing [Grid version 3.7.0](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-updates-august-2022/3272?u=hannahcordes) which includes some significant updates, improvements and new features like FreeFlow Twin, a new Node Pilot, new deployment features and [a lot more](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-updates-august-2022/3272?u=hannahcordes). The team continues to do incredible work to further develop and advance the Grid as well as to support utilization and adoption by offering tools and applications that are user-friendly, secure, efficient and scalable. A massive thank you to our incredible tech team and the community of Grid testers! - -### Next up: our cloud solution - -So, the ThreeFold Grid has been evolved, advanced and expanded quite a bit, hasn’t it?

Together we build a decentralized digital world! - -## Explore a playground full of simple yet powerful deployment experiences - -The [ThreeFold Playground](https://play.grid.tf/) makes it quite easy to build on top of the ThreeFold Grid by deploying weblets. A [weblet](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_home?id=weblets) is a compiled JavaScript component which can be embedded in any site. With ThreeFold, it basically establishes a private environment running inside your browser, and allows you to share it – while you maintain full control of all activities happening there by using your private key, and with full decentralization. - -
- -On the TF Playground, a variety of applications are made available and deployable within just a few clicks, all on top of a fully decentralized peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure. From Virtual Machines to Kubernetes to Presearch Nodes, CapRover, ownCloud, and more – the playground allows you to build in a truly decentralized environment. Essentially, the Playground is an ever-expanding ecosystem of easily-deployable weblets that are built for a decentralized future. It’s the fastest way to build, test, and deploy and enables pretty much anyone to build and experiment with deployment on the Grid. So, this is huge! - -
- -[Visit](https://play.grid.tf/) the TF Playground to explore the possibilities and read this [post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-focus-series-tf-playground-v3-7-0/3315?u=hannahcordes) to find out what the new version 3.7.0 of the Playground – now live on testnet – has to offer. Dive right in and [get started](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/getstarted/manual__tfgrid3_getstarted) on the TF Grid today! - -
- -Here are a few examples of the weblets available on the Playground: - -#### Presearch - -Presearch is a longstanding partner of ThreeFold and one of the most popular solutions offered on the Grid. As of the Grid v3.6 release, any 3Node can now host a Presearch node – so if you’re a ThreeFold farmer, it’s now become quite easy for you to host Presearch on your own node. Simply follow [this deployment guide](https://forum.threefold.io/t/presearch-nodes/3250?u=hannahcordes) to get decentralized search on top of a truly decentralized infrastructure! - -#### CapRover - -Leverage the entire [CapRover app catalogue](https://forum.threefold.io/t/caprover-your-app-environment/2133/3) even faster and easier and deploy CapRover apps on the ThreeFold Grid. You’ll benefit from full decentralization, energy efficiency and affordability. [CapRover](https://forum.threefold.io/t/create-your-own-app-environment-fast-and-easy-with-caprover-on-the-people-s-internet/2644?u=hannahcordes) is a powerful platform for app deployment and thanks to our [CapRover weblet](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_caprover?id=caprover), you’re able to deploy anything you want on top of the ThreeFold Grid! - -#### NEW: Subsquid (testnet) - -The [latest addition](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tfgrid-v3-7-0-is-now-live/3375?u=hannahcordes) to the ThreeFold Playground is [Subsquid](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual__weblets_subsquid), Web3’s premier API framework which is supercharging decentralized apps across more than 30 chains. Basically, you can think of Subsquid as an ETL (extract, transform, load) tool, with a GraphQL server included. With Grid v3.7.0 live on testnet, you can now pre-process and decode raw chain data and store it for easier access by the query nodes by deploying your own Subsquid instance on the Grid’s testnet within just a few clicks [here](https://play.test.grid.tf/#/subsquid). - -
- -So with the ThreeFold Playground, ThreeFold is building a vast ecosystem of advanced deployment experiences and opening up a world of possibilities – allowing anyone to build, test and deploy easily and within a few clicks. - -
- -And the best thing about the [playground](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/getstarted/manual__tfgrid3_getstarted)? It’s already been available for a while and continuously being improved and extended! - -## How to achieve digital sovereignty with a set of end-user experiences - -*“Through simple, secure, and scalable technology, ThreeFold empowers millions to invent and explore new experiences." – [Kristof de Spiegeleer](https://www.threefold.io/newsroom/paradise-hills/)* - -
- -We’ve entered the [third phase of our journey](https://www.threefold.io/blog/four-phases-of-threefold/) towards our ultimate vision of a better future – the phase of Web 4. In addition to fully comprehensive decentralized edge cloud solutions, the ThreeFold ecosystem is also developing a range of applications and experiences across IoT, metaverse, blockchain, DeFi, banking, education and beyond. - -
- -Throughout this phase – which has only just begun – a multitude of valuable and meaningful experiences are being built by the ThreeFold ecosystem and partners to empower people with equal chances to learn, create, and thrive in a decentralized digital economy – what we like to call an abundance-based future for humanity. - -
- -The first roll-out of the third phase will empower people to become fully self-sovereign thanks to ThreeFold’s Digital Twin technology and a variety of decentralized alternatives to popular applications and tools.  - -#### FreeFlow Twin - -The Digital Twin technology provides each user with a unique digital identity that can serve as the key to an open, self-sovereign and complete digital future. This solution was designed with a very simple objective in mind: everyone should be the center of their entire digital life. It represents your digital self and hosts your entire digital life in a secure and private way – empowering you to own your data and offering you decentralized applications that enable you to maintain your sovereignty. For end users, owning their own deployments opens the possibility for a full range of experiences that have the same quality as crypto – self custody. - -
- -With Grid V3.7.0, ThreeFold’s all-in-one decentralized productivity tool that includes instant messaging, video call, social, and data storage features – formerly known as Uhuru – is being rebranded to [FreeFlow Twin](https://forum.threefold.io/t/lets-test-out-freeflow-twin-beta-formerly-uhuru/3299?u=hannahcordes). It brings sovereign and secure alternatives to many of the centralized solutions we use every day like Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Chrome, Zoom and many more. - -
- -[FreeFlow Twin](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-product-updates-august-2022/3272?u=hannahcordes) will be part of an ecosystem of decentralized alternatives called FreeFlow Life. Find more information on the experiences, how to start testing now and where to share your feedback [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/lets-test-out-freeflow-twin-beta-formerly-uhuru/3299?u=hannahcordes)! - -
- -This paradigm shift is a pretty big deal, isn’t it? - -#### DeFi Solutions - -We've also decided to develop our [own DeFi solutions](https://www.threefold.io/blog/future-tft-ecosystem/) to support the growth and expansion of the Internet of Internets and an abundance-based future where we are truly sovereign: community-based liquidity pools and the P2P DeFi Wallet – both expected early next year. Learn more about the upcoming solutions [here](https://www.threefold.io/blog/future-tft-ecosystem/)! - -## The Grid is open – an invitation to build, deploy and test - -ThreeFold’s open Internet infrastructure is fully peer-to-peer, decentralized and super reliable. It already offers a multitude of solutions for developers, end-users and everyone in-between. And the Grid and the solutions offered are ready for the community to build, deploy and test, as we continue to collectively build, advance and expand. - -
- -And while we’ve collectively already built a lot and achieved crucial milestones towards realizing our ultimate goals, we’re also just the beginning of the third phase of our exciting journey with many ambitions and goals still ahead. - -
- -While we’re still in a spot where we can be considered a hidden gem and being way undervalued, remember this: ThreeFold is inevitable. We are visionaries, building the plane in the air. We are confident in growing the project in a real and authentic way. We have a strong plan and vision. Our technology is needed. The underlying foundation is functional and ready. Now, it’s up to the believers to build, test and deploy the solutions we need for a better world. And together, we build.

- -ThreeFold’s reliable, open-source, peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure together with a growing community of enthusiastic, driven early-adopter developers and end-users are the key to accelerating the growth and development of the Grid and to unlocking all of its potential. While the foundation has been laid, it will be up to all of us as a movement to improve and build upon it. - -
- -After looking back at the ThreeFold Grid’s evolution and what makes it a game-changing Internet infrastructure in [part one](https://www.threefold.io/blog/build-on-threefolds-open-infrastructure/), it’s time to explore our cloud solution and the technology available today in part two! You can think of these as some of the essential low-level building blocks that when combined created a limitless sandbox for developers. - -
- -If you’re wondering what virtual machines are, haven’t heard about Kubernetes before and don’t know your way around coding languages, this part might be less interesting for you. Feel free to skip and jump right into [part three](https://www.threefold.io/blog/build-on-threefolds-open-infrastructure-part-three/) on weblets and end-user experiences. - -## Elements of our comprehensive & decentralized cloud solution - -The ThreeFold Grid provides [various primitives](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__tfgrid_primitives) for compute, storage, and network – fulfilling all the needs centralized cloud providers cater to as well, while offering advantages in terms of decentralization, energy efficiency, security and more. [Zero-OS](https://forum.threefold.io/t/all-you-need-to-know-about-zero-os/1734) includes a collection of components, called primitives. These primitives are the low-level constructs which can be deployed on the ThreeFold Grid. As mentioned above, they act as building blocks for skilled developers that enable them to build and create in complete digital freedom. - -
- -Additionally, the high compatibility of ThreeFold’s primitives with industry-standard tools and protocols makes it easy and seamless for developers to migrate workloads to the Grid. All of the primitives not only benefit from the unique efficiency and security features of [Zero-OS](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__zos), but also come with unique features and capabilities themselves. Here are some of the primitives to give you an idea of what you’ll get: - -#### ZMachine - -ThreeFold’s [ZMachine](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/zmachine?id=zmachine) is a lightweight virtual machine (VM) solution that’s unique to the ThreeFold Grid. ZMachine enables both traditional VM deployments and also introduces a next generation container specification built on our [ZFlist](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__zos_fs?id=why-this-zflist-concept) technology. ZFlist containers enabled by ZMachines are more secure and more flexible than the current industry standard Docker-based containers. With Kubernetes running on top of ThreeFold’s ZMachine [technology](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__grid_use?id=tfgrid-kubernetes-cloud), we have a highly compatible and unique solution. - -#### ZFlist - -The [ZFlist](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__zos_fs?id=why-this-zflist-concept) is a next generation container format – supported directly at the operating system level on Zero-OS – which extends the industry-standard Docker container concept in an efficient and secure way. It provides a unique advantage over traditional containers via the use of mini VMs. By employing mini VMs, the FList concept provides better isolation than traditional container systems while retaining the advantages that containers offer over full VMs. - -#### Kubernetes - -ThreeFold has long supported the most used open-source container orchestration tool in the world, [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/), which integrates the industry standard [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) format, a container creation and management tool. It’s used to manage many of the largest and most complex cloud deployments. Kubernetes can be used to create a production-ready environment. The ThreeFold Grid provides a lightweight Kubernetes VM that can be used to create clusters according to specific needs. By providing both VMs and Kubernetes, we’re able to offer the most comprehensive solution in the decentralized/blockchain space to deploy, scale, and manage cloud compute workloads. Kubernetes users can, for the most part, simply bring their existing configuration files and recreate their deployments on a Grid based cluster seamlessly. With the third generation of the Grid, we provided a very simple way to provision [Kubernetes clusters with Terraform](https://library.threefold.me/info/manual/#/manual3_iac/grid3_terraform/manual__terraform_k8s?id=more-info). - -#### Terraform - -[Terraform](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-grid-3-0-supports-terraform/1184?u=hannahcordes) is a widely-used open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) software tool enabling a consistent workflow in order to manage complex deployments across different cloud providers. It also integrates directly with our Grid’s [existing Kubernetes functionality](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/cloud/threefold__usp_compatible?id=kubernetes) to offer a complete solution for reserving hardware and deploying software. - -
- -In a nutshell, Terraform offers a complete solution for reserving hardware and deploying software. It allows for specifying deployments on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__tfgrid_home) in a simple, declarative, and human-readable language describing the desired end state. Terraform can be used to deploy the full set of [Zero-OS](https://forum.threefold.io/t/all-you-need-to-know-about-zero-os/1734) primitives, supporting any existing or future Linux workload, with endless possibilities. It is like a lower-level Kubernetes for the hardware part of cloud deployments. - -#### Dedicated Nodes - -We’re also supporting [dedicated nodes](https://forum.threefold.io/t/exciting-news-dedicated-nodes-on-the-people-s-internet/2645?u=hannahcordes). By utilizing dedicated nodes on the ThreeFold Grid, you’ll benefit from a truly decentralized and highly reliable Internet infrastructure that uses less energy and comes at a much more affordable price than any comparable alternative. With dedicated nodes, users are able to exclusively reserve the entire capacity of a 3Node to deploy solutions for themselves or for other customers, while also paying for all capacity of the respective 3Node. Dedicated nodes on our Grid will be highly cost effective, as they’ll be available with a 70% discount on [pricing](https://forum.threefold.io/t/pricing-for-tfgrid/2518/7). All the ThreeFold Grid features will be available on [dedicated nodes](https://forum.threefold.io/t/exciting-news-dedicated-nodes-on-the-people-s-internet/2645?u=hannahcordes) as well – from deploying VMs and containers to CapRover and more. Dedicated and non-dedicated 3Nodes can be combined. - -#### V Language - -ThreeFold is built with simplicity in mind which is why we’re using [V](https://www.threefold.io/partners/vlang/) – a statically typed programming language similar to Go, and inspired by Rust, Swift, and Oberon. It’s the official [smart contract](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__smartcontract_it) language on the Grid, as its simplicity and readability allows anyone to go through and understand any code base, even non-developers. - -
- -Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc. It aims to become an alternative to JavaScript as the de facto coding language on the market in the upcoming years. With V, the developer doesn’t need to change anything in their code. “It just works”, like in Python, Go, or Java, except there’s no heavy GC tracing everything or expensive RC for each object. V can translate your entire C project and offer you the safety, simplicity, and 10-25x faster compilation speeds. - -
- -With +30,5K Stars on [GitHub](https://github.com/vlang/v), V brings a strong open-source developer community to the ThreeFold ecosystem to develop the infrastructures and applications of tomorrow – making it the ideal smart contract language for the ThreeFold ecosystem. - -## An open invitation - -So, now that you’ve learned more about the building blocks of the ThreeFold Grid and how you can build with them, we’d like to invite you to try and test them yourselves! - -
- -While we’re very proud of our progress and the strong ecosystem around us, now’s the time to build upon the foundation. The team continues to do incredible work to further develop and advance the Grid with each and every release. They continue to improve the components, develop new features and build new solutions. - -
- -With your support, the team can work even faster. If you share our belief in open source and decentralization, we invite you to help us test and improve not only the Grid and its primitives but also the solutions built on top. Together, we keep building and advancing to realize our Internet of Internets vision and to empower people with true digital sovereignty.  - -

- -The ThreeFold Team was in Austin, Texas, in June to share our vision for a decentralized Internet as an exhibitor and sponsor of [Consensus](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_at_consensus_2022/) by Coindesk. The four-day conference attracted over [20,000 people](https://cointelegraph.com/news/consensus-2022-web3-unpacking-regulations-and-optimism-for-crypto-s-future) who explored conversations on topics like decentralization, blockchain, crypto, Web 3 and more. The ThreeFold team shared our “planet first, people first” vision and story with hundreds of attendees who visited our conference booth to learn about ThreeFold – leading to new community members, farmers, token holders, and partners.  - -
- -Co-founder [Adnan Fatayerji](https://threefold.io/people/adnan_fatayerji/) conducted several media interviews and found that our story resonated well – after all, [Consensus](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_at_consensus_2022/) is the Festival for the Decentralized World. Nevertheless, many of the other projects at Consensus are still using centralized infrastructure for hosting. We shared the potential for ThreeFold as the foundation to make a truly decentralized world a reality. Already, independent people and organizations from 80 countries and counting are connecting decentralized Internet capacity, bringing to life this new infrastructure. - -

We made friends and connected with the projects out there that are truly moving the needle of ‘Trust’/Web3 forward. We look forward to nurturing these incredible partnerships on ThreeFold’s foundational layer and to scale ‘Digital Trust’ in all its forms towards mainstream adoption.” – Adnan Fatayerji* - -## Bringing the Sovereign Internet to Austin - -Together with some of [our Austin friends](https://www.yourhomecommunity.com/), we gathered with 45 like-minded people at Casa de Luz, a spiritual and wellness retreat, to launch the first sovereign Regional Internet in Austin, Texas. All of us shared our own stories and reasons for attending. Then we explored the opportunities, benefits and next steps for Austin to establish its own truly self-sovereign regional Internet. - -
- -We found shared values among a group of open, inspiring, passionate and like-minded individuals who formed this founding group. Austin has long been a hub for innovative thinkers and high-tech companies. Austin has a strong connection to and respect for nature. Austin is aligned well with our planet-first, people-first philosophy. - -
- -We believe that, together, we’re strong enough to build new regenerative systems powerful enough to enable anyone to have a sovereign, safer and more fulfilling life. And we're honoured to be working with the people of Austin in the global rollout of the Internet of Internets. We’re now looking to launch the first 3Nodes there to lay the foundation of Austin’s sovereign Regional Internet. - -
- -![ThreeFold and Austin Community](./threefold_austin_community.png) - -
- -We’ve spent a truly incredible week in Austin, spreading the word about ThreeFold, forming meaningful connections and finding a new home. Thank you, Austin! - -
- -*“It’s been inspiring to meet everyone at Casa de Luz! Feeling so grateful for the opportunity to build Austin’s sovereign Internet together!” – Sacha Obeegadoo* - -
- -*“It was such an honor. I’ll never forget that day. We’re going to do something really beautiful!” – Sam Taggart* - -
- -*“Connecting with the beautiful community of the good people of Austin was absolutely amazing. We really felt at home and Austin is a true freedom vortex in the US where people truly value their free spirits and the importance of staying resilient and independant. We could not have dreamt of a better place to start the Internet of Internets in the US and create the first local internet. Keep it weird Austin!” – Florian Fournier* - -## Next steps - -The founding gathering in Austin was just the beginning. Building meaningful relationships with local communities to start the next few Regional Internets will be a big focus for the ThreeFold ecosystem in 2022. Therefore, we’ll be travelling to various places across the globe to [connect the dots](https://threefold.io/blog/connecting_the_dots/) in the upcoming months. - -
- -After entering a partnership with [Paradise Hills](https://threefold.io/blog/paradise_hills/) to build the first Community Cloud, planting the seeds for the first Regional Internet in Austin represents another crucial step in our journey to create the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) – a glocal model that is infinitely scalable. So, the next few months will be vital for our [expansion phase](https://threefold.io/blog/four_phases_of_threefold/) and for building a better future for all of us. - -
- -Together, we’re building a better Internet by and for the people, the foundation for a better world. An Internet to regenerate our planet and to empower the collective – the many and not the few. - -
- -So, we’re proud to join together to build the future we want to live in – whether by [building](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__diy_guide) or [buying](https://marketplace.3node.global/) a 3Node, by buying the ThreeFold Token ([TFT](https://threefold.io/tft)), or by helping us bring the sovereign Internet to your community or region. - -

- -The Internet has become one of the most important aspects of human life. Our everyday lives are impacted by social media and other online platforms on a very minute level. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and others have become the most convenient way to stay in touch with friends and family. WhiteHart, Udemy and others have made quality education accessible to all. Swiggy, Zomato and others have made our favourite cuisine accessible at home. Amazon, Flipkart and others have grown the shopping experience for Indians with a variety of choices. Netflix, Hotstar, Youtube and others have made entertainment on demand easy for us. - -
- -Over the past decade, we have all gotten addicted to the comforts that the internet has brought to us, and it wouldn't be wrong for us to say that we cannot imagine our lives without the internet. - -
- -While Indian internet usage ranks second in the world today behind China, with 43% of its total population online, this also means that there is still a lot of untapped potential in India. - -## Issues with current Internet - -Although the internet has helped us in making our lives comfortable, there are several issues with the current Internet services we use. Some of them are mentioned below: - -### Cyber security - -The cyber security infrastructure in India today is not well equipped to tackle increasing cyber-crimes. You may not have the resolution to your complaints filed with Cyber Cell Portals on time. Hence there is an increasing number of fraudsters and hackers in India. - -### Data ownership - -Personal details shared by you on the internet are used by big companies to influence your decision-making process strategically. - -### Higher cost to customers - -Since internet infrastructure is owned and controlled by a few big companies, there is an irregular price increase which makes the internet unaffordable to many parts of rural India. - -## Decentralised Internet is the solution - -Decentralisation of the internet refers to the arrangement of the internet or its components such that no single entity or organization has control or authority over the network. It holds the potential to revolutionize the way every nation accesses and utilizes the world wide web. India, one of the biggest players in the digital world, can greatly benefit from Internet decentralization. It would open up many new opportunities for both the country and its citizens. - -
- -To start, decentralization of the internet would give India more control over its digital landscape. Instead of relying on a single, centralized entity to power its network, India could decentralize its internet and make the administration of the network much more efficient. With this additional control and efficiency, India could develop a more secure and reliable infrastructure, while also controlling the delivery of services. This could lead to faster, more reliable connection speeds, along with increased safety and security. - -
- -Additionally, decentralization of the internet would allow India to establish itself as a technological leader. By decentralizing the internet, India could shift its focus from the existing internet infrastructure to developing innovative technology and applications. This could include the development of decentralized artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and much more. Potential applications of these technologies could drastically improve the education, healthcare, and transportation sectors of India. - -
- -Finally, decentralization of the internet could help with digital media access and distribution. This could open up new opportunities for providing access to digital media in rural areas, allowing for more effective access to education and entertainment. Furthermore, it could also provide access to more reliable payment services, as well as better consumer protection policies. - -
- -In conclusion, decentralization of the internet holds the potential to greatly benefit India and its citizens. It would give India control over its internet infrastructure, opening the door for development of innovative technologies and applications. Additionally, it could provide more effective access to digital media, along with more reliable payment services and consumer protection policies. In order for India to take full advantage of the potential of decentralization of the internet, it must take decisive steps towards implementing the necessary reforms and investments to ensure its success. - -## How ThreeFold can contribute - -ThreeFold technology runs on the concept of a grid formed by farmers who are independent people, unlike big corporations, that connect their nodes anywhere network and electricity is present to create a global distributed internet infrastructure. This resolves the problem of monopoly and price of big internet companies. - -
- -The technology also ensures that you get data security which was how the internet was originally intended to be. - -

Blockchain doesn't store any of its information in a central location, rather it is copied and spread across a network of computers. And the most popular name in the blockchain space, Bitcoin, was intended as an alternative payment system free of central control. - -
- -But many blockchains are facing the same challenge: How can they escape the monopolies of centralized cloud providers for their own workloads, as well as for the dApps built on top of them? The key question is, is a blockchain truly decentralized if it is being hosted on a centralized solution? We say: no. - -
- -An example to illustrate this challenge is the fact that up to 60% of Ethereum (the world's second most-popular blockchain) nodes run on centralized cloud providers and [25% of them run on Amazon Web Services (AWS)](https://aws.amazon.com/blockchain/). - -
- -While the topic is being addressed, it isn't being solved at scale. The good news is that ThreeFold can play a large part in solving it. - -## Why should blockchains make this move? - -The blockchain movement, as mentioned, is very heavily tied to the movement around decentralization. Cryptocurrencies represent the move away from centralized banks as the authorities and gatekeepers around money – just as ThreeFold and similar projects represent the move away from centralized clouds as the authorities and gatekeepers around data. The thing is, if blockchains are to rely on centralized cloud for hosting, they aren't truly embodying decentralization. - -
- -Understandably, many blockchains have chosen centralized cloud providers in the past because there wasn't much of an alternative. But now, the Decentralized Cloud (DeCloud) movement has changed all of that. - -
- -Here is how some specific audiences can benefit: - -### For Node Operators - -Any full node or validator node can run on ThreeFold’s [Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Cloud](https://cloud.threefold.io/), making that particular Blockchain even more community-owned, and more decentralized from an IT/cloud level. Any node operator can choose to run their nodes from any farmer location on the ThreeFold Grid, totally [peer-to-peer](https://threefold.io/blog/what_is_peer_to_peer/) between the chosen farmer and the node operator. The deployed workloads are computed in a P2P manner, no middle party involved. - -### For dApp Developers - -Web3/Blockchain developers can use ThreeFold’s P2P Cloud - offering both compute and storage - to build and power their applications in a truly decentralized cloud infrastructure, both blockchain-native and cloud-native. A strong advantage here is that developers have the ability to leverage Kubernetes, Docker, S3, and other cloud-native tools (all compatible / integrated with the ThreeFold) to power and optimize their data processing capabilities, as well as the overall functionality of their dApps. But the sweet spot is that it is deployed on a decentralized IT infrastructure, close to where users would be located. - -## But why choose ThreeFold over other DeCloud projects? - -There may be bigger names in the space, but ThreeFold's technology and offerings are much more comprehensive than the rest. ThreeFold provides decentralized storage, compute, and network all under one roof (whereas most other projects offer only one of the three) and as mentioned, we have created an environment for developers which is highly-compatible to the developer tools and solutions they use today. Further, ThreeFold is building new infrastructure [from the ground up](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) (rather than relying on extra space in data centers) and the technology is truly peer-to-peer. - -
- -We already have [a number of partners in the space](https://threefold.io/partners/blockchain) who recognize these advantages. - -
- -Any blockchain protocol or dApp, whether operating DeFi, NFTs, DEXs, etc, will at some point need to leverage the power of the decentralized cloud and escape from centralized cloud providers. We’re seeing some of that adoption from a decentralized storage side with IPFS, which has been adopted by many dApps, and others – but as a developer, you will have to think twice, not just about where your/your users’ data is being stored, but also about how (and where) your app is computed and powered. - -

- -The Web4 Digital Twin architecture does just that: it puts us at the center of our digital experience. Indeed, Digital Twin is a user-centric technological platform to build efficient, sovereign and secure digital experiences. Digital Twin technology empowers people and businesses to exchange information and value without any intermediaries, while making applications more scalable, efficient and secure than on any other web paradigm such as Web2, Web3 or Web5. Digital Twins require a decentralized Internet infrastructure and run perfectly on top of the ThreeFold Grid. - -## Your Digital Twin is a mirror of yourself! - -Your Digital Twin runs on a location of your choice, which becomes your personal Internet Gateway. Each Twin is owned by only one owner, who in the end is more like the human mirror to the Twin. The Twin has lots of capabilities and is available for its “human mirror” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Experiences are being built which use the capabilities of the Twin. A Twin owns your data and your identity, all stored in such a way it can never be corrupted or lost. Thus, you own your data, your identity and your digital skills for all your life. - -## Your Digital Twin has Capabilities - -Twins are powerful and have many capabilities which are used when they enter an experience. Here are the capabilities of the Digital Twin: - -* Communicate - * Chat, video conference, send messages to anyone. -* Create - * Create content, any content (metaverse, video, websites, ...) -* Share and Promote - * Share your creations to the rest of the world - * Promote your products and services - * Share your knowledge and help others to grow -* Discover and Learn - * Find information, alternative indexing engine (neutral) - * Know what is truthful and what is not (proof of authenticity) - * Learn and become smarter -* Economy - * Manage my digital wealth (digital currencies) - * Exchange anything for anything else (money for tokens, services, products) - * Buy/Sell goods and services -* Collaborate - * How can I collaborate on documents, images, videos, code, ... - * How can I manage a project, plan events, define deadlines -* Organize - * Manage your agenda and time - * Organize your digital content so you can find it back, and it's nicely organized - * Manage your circles (groups of people) -* Protect - * Make sure that only the right people have access to your digital assets - * What happens if you die, make sure your loved ones can inherit your digital assets - * Make sure your digital life is secure (give access to your assets to your circles) - * Give proof of authenticity to assets and information from others -* Develop and Expand - * Code and extend the Twin (improve Twin capabilities for yourself and others) - * Create your own experiences - -
- -The Twin has basic capabilities listed above which are strongly version controlled, but contributions from the global community are more than welcomed. The idea is to create a system which is simply good enough for any possible experience. - -
- -![Your Digital Twin](./your_digital_twin.png) - -
- -This is a very different paradigm compared to current web or mobile applications where capabilities are owned by the provider of the application. Besides, rather than survival of the fittest, we believe in a system of collaboration, where we invite everyone to make the system better so it fits us all. We don't need three chat systems, we need one which is usable by thousands of experiences. - -
- -Developers can create experiences re-using the open source capabilities the Twin offers, also eliminating the need to reinvent features. - -## Note on Connection & Security - -As a “user”, you can use any browser to access experiences built on top of your Digital Twin. For example, a storage experience that stores data on your Twin or a browser experience that allows you to surf the web from your Twin's node. When you connect to your Twin, our **[ThreeFold Connect](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/web4/threefold__threefold_connect)** makes sure that the connection is secure. The Twin runs on a node on the ThreeFold Grid, which you are securely connected to. This takes care of a very safe approach and unlimited scalability. We will dive deeper into the Twin’s security and scalability aspects in a future blog! - -## Digital Twin in a nutshell - -Hopefully, by now you will have a better understanding of the Digital Twin concept. Here is a short recap of everything mentioned so far about it: - -* You have full control over your own digital life. -* Experiences can be created using standard web & native technologies. -* The Digital Twin delivers the web interface to your (secure) browser. -* No need for information to travel to central data centers, all communication is fast and private between Digital Twins: No more client-server. -* All logic of your digital life is 100% private to you running in your Twin. -* This is super efficient and sustainable, +10x power savings. -* No blockchain required for your digital life = more privacy, performance, green - * Exception: blockchain is needed for digital currencies and as a phone book for Digital Twin’s identity. - -

- - - -## Edge Computing Definition - -According to Wikipedia, "**Edge computing** is a distributed computing paradigm in which computation is largely or entirely performed on distributed device nodes known as smart devices or edge devices as opposed to primarily taking place in a centralized cloud environment. - -
- -In summary, this means that the cloud is divided into smaller pieces and distributed to the edge of the network. - -## Drivers for Edge Computing - -Some latency-sensitive applications require fast response times to work correctly. A good example is self-driving cars. A lot of decisions in autonomous vehicles have to be made instantaneously; the decision to react to the unexpected while driving at high speed cannot afford to be slowed down by data traveling long distances to be processed. To improve the system's reliability, additional hops, and any further points of failure must be eliminated. Moving to compute as far out as possible to the Edge is the logical choice. - -
- -More generically, real-world situations are increasingly relying on an IT component to be involved in some form of decision making where time is of the essence. The current IT setup is that we have highly concentrated IT setups in data centers connected by fast networks to the rest of the world. This setup is rapidly becoming obsolete as we need to have the fastest possible response for everyday activities, which cannot sustain the time delay caused by (extended) network connections. Having actual data processing and storage facilities close to these real-world situations is the next IT capacity evolution. - -
- -These thousands of situations are mostly in the IoT area. Still, other killer applications like streaming would greatly benefit from being served from the Edge rather than a distant central location. - -## Edge Computing Market Facts - -Due to the billions of IoT devices driven by various use cases like autonomous driving, a massive demand for Edge Computing is evolving rapidly. According to the Digital Journal, the Edge Computing market is growing extremely fast. With a CAGR of over 35.0% and the market is expected to reach USD 33.75 billion by the end of 2023. -

-Edge Computing and Grid Computing are often used in the same context and sometimes are confused. For this article, we'd like to define the terms going forward as follows: -
-
-Grid Computing means a computer network of 100% distributed computer resources like processing power, memory, and data storage of similar or different types to which authorized people can run their computation workloads. That means that Grid Compute nodes are mostly in data centers and maybe dispersed over more extensive regions but are typically still far from the Edge. Compared to Edge Computing, Grid Computing environments are owned by more than one individual or company, and thus, controlled by many. -
-
-Edge computing has risen from a need to have data processing and storage as close as possible to real-world situations. The situation could be as simple as recording biometric data by a smartwatch to support the required information for a self-driving car to function as intended. The necessity comes from having local computing and storage capacity - it can be used by multiple use cases (situations) but does not have to. - -## The Benefits of Edge Computing - -Edge computing comes with specific benefits that are mandatory for the next evolution in the IT industry. We have optimized the central model to such a degree that the network connects the central capacity to use cases in the field, the next bottleneck. Edge computing is solving several challenges faced by real-world situations with the following benefits: - -### Speed - -**Speed** is probably the most crucial benefit of edge computing, as there are plenty of use cases that require near-real-time computing. - -### Scalability - -The scalability of edge computing also makes it incredibly [versatile](https://www.vxchnge.com/blog/edge-computing-use-cases). By partnering with local data centers further out on the Edge, companies can easily target desirable markets without investing in expensive infrastructure expansion. Edge data centers allow them to service end-users efficiently with little physical distance or latency. They also do not constrain companies with a substantial footprint, allowing them to shift to other markets rapidly should economic conditions change. - -### Availability and Security - -Traditional cloud computing architecture is, by definition, centralized, which makes it especially vulnerable to [distributed denial of service (DDoS)](https://www.vxchnge.com/blog/how-to-protect-data-centers-from-a-new-generation-of-ddos-attacks) attacks and power outages. Edge computing distributes processing, storage, and applications across a wide range of devices, nodes and data centers, which makes it difficult for any single disruption to take down the network which is why logically and geographically dispersed systems are often used for DDoS mitigation like in Content Delivery Networks (CDN) -
-
-By pushing everything to the cloud, you're leaving your business open to ISP failures and cloud server downtime. Many mission-critical operations like railroads and chemical plants won't even use the cloud today. Their server farms are the only way to guarantee uptime. - -### Process optimisation - -Another big benefit is process optimization. If self-driving cars were to use the cloud instead of the Edge, they'd be pushing all the data they gather up to the cloud. But if the Edge makes local decisions, the cloud may not need all that data immediately – or even at all. - -## Requirements for Edge Computing - -When compute and storage capabilities exist on the Edge, we need to overcome several challenges around capacity distribution. Most traditional IT technologies do not allow this as they live in large data centers where there is a lot of "care" for these technologies. -
-
-The most significant generic hurdle to overcome is that there is going to be a lot less "care" for the technology to rely on at the Edge. These "devices" have to be self-sufficient to no small degree. If we want to sum up some of the specifics of edge technology, this will come out: -
-
- -* A typical edge device or node must run an OS that comes in at a low cost or, ideally, for free like some open source offerings. This enhances the proliferation of capacity at the Edge. -* Container technology must be embedded in the OS at the lowest possible level to create the maximum benefit of efficiency from the edge hardware: classic Virtual Machine environments are just too inefficient and resource consuming for edge use cases. There will be Virtual Machine based edge solutions, but these are going to be out there for a certain period, catering for current IT workloads to move to the Edge. The Edge's correct move can only happen when traditional IT applications split up into pieces and require a lot less capacity to run. Hence, it will convert over time to containerized technology. -* Edge Computing hardware will consist of datacenter grade hardware and all sorts of other types of hardware. The Edge might include some smaller sized data center facilities but also include different types of "homes" for compute and storage equipment. Think of transportation as a specific use case - capacity on maritime vessels, capacity on trains, and vehicles' capacity. Hardware will have to accommodate different use cases, price levels, form factors, and power consumption. -* Edge hardware needs a lightweight OS that is very close to the hardware components to get the maximum out of compute and storage capacity. Less is more - for real Edge capacity, local people won't be able to interact with edge capacity - one further step - there will be no need to have remote people access these devices for maintenance purposes. The ultimate edge computing solution will have a significant amount of self-sustainability - where there are no more highly technically skilled people required to keep the capacity available, up and running. -* In most cases, Edge means being remote, and having no access to humans or humans are only too expensive for the specific use case. -* Power outages or no network availability will cause system failures. The ideal OS to deal with this revolves around no people; the zero-touch approach should be stateless and needs to have self-healing capabilities run by automation software robots.
- -## Existing Edge Computing Solutions - -Today there are a few Edge Computing platforms out there that cover some requirements as outlined above. -
-
-* Microsoft, for instance, launched products like Azure IoT Edge and Azure Data Box Edge to extend their Datacenter based Azure cloud offering to the Edge. -* Another attempt to bring centralized cloud technology to the Edge is the Openstack Edge Computing initiative, which is in the concept phase only so far. -* A new OS for the Edge is CoreOs, also known as Container Linux, which runs on nearly any platform, whether physical, virtual, or private/public cloud. -* More recently, there are a few blockchain-driven technologies out there pushing for edge capacity to exist. Examples are: - * [SIA](https://sia.tech/) - * [Sonm](https://sonm.com/) - * [Filecoin](https://filecoin.io/) -* Content delivery networks with a lot of "capacity" sitting close to end-users are expanding their capabilities beyond content delivery - * [Limelight](https://www.limelight.com/products/iot-and-edge-cloud/) - * [Akamai](https://www.akamai.com/)
-
-
- -## The Holy Grail - -The holy grail would be a self-healing Edge Grid. Edge, because of all the benefits Edge Computing brings to the user: Speed, Scalability, Reliability, Security, Versatility, and Process Optimization. Grid, because it fulfills the distributed workload requirements, a classic centralized cloud would generally be used without a centralized nature and all its disadvantages. -
-
-Probably the most critical part of the ideal solution is self-healing. The biggest challenge of an Edge Computing environment is the dependency on local care: humans to maintain hardware and upgrade or fix software components. Self Healing needs to do the job here, which means zero people can be involved. -
-
-Only a self-healing mechanism with zero-people involved, completely decentralized, brings down the cost and provides more security to the environment, and makes it highly scalable. -
-
-Some of you may think that new blockchain-based technologies may be the holy grail. But they are not. -
-
-In most cases, their implementations are too slow, and that's why it does not make sense to use them for production purposes. Another downside is the complexity of the application caused by stitching together 3rd party technologies. In many cases, these blockchain-based technologies are at a very early stage with beta implementations or even roadmap only type of technology. -
-
-The holy grail is something that hasn't been created before; it needs to be a versatile system that is self-manageable. A large global conglomerate should not own the capacity - it should be owned by many. Therefore, it should have a commercial model where people individually can decide to partake in building this global edge solution and where there is a defined return on investment for those partakers. -
-
-A few groups of people, like us, are creating decentralized solutions for this, owned by the many, and creating services for all. - - diff --git a/content/blogarchive/ethical_design_manifesto/ethical_design_manifesto.png b/content/blogarchive/ethical_design_manifesto/ethical_design_manifesto.png deleted file mode 100644 index 1b895e8d7..000000000 Binary files a/content/blogarchive/ethical_design_manifesto/ethical_design_manifesto.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blogarchive/ethical_design_manifesto/index.md b/content/blogarchive/ethical_design_manifesto/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index bb0d3c967..000000000 --- a/content/blogarchive/ethical_design_manifesto/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,45 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: ethical_design_manifesto -title: Creating solutions that respect humanity and the planet -image_caption: humanity -description: Respect Human Rights, Respect Human Effort, Respect Human Experience -date: 2017-06-06 -taxonomies: - people: [kristof_de_spiegeleer] - tags: [decentralization, why] - categories: [decentralization, why] -extra: - imgPath: ethical_design_manifesto.png ---- -

The United Arab Emirates (113 TWh) or the Netherlands (109 TWh) had a lower annual energy consumption than Bitcoin [in 2020](http://blog.zorinaq.com/bitcoin-electricity-consumption/). Moreover, news outlets like [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/27/bitcoin-mining-consumes-electricity-ireland) or [BBC News](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56012952) reported on Bitcoin exceeding the energy consumption of further countries, including Ireland and Argentina. Within the last year, headlines like “[Bitcoin Uses More Electricity Than Many Countries](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/09/03/climate/bitcoin-carbon-footprint-electricity.html)” in the New York Times or “[Bitcoin’s growing energy problem: ‘It’s a dirty currency’](https://www.ft.com/content/1aecb2db-8f61-427c-a413-3b929291c8ac)” in the Financial Times were in no short supply. - -
- -Among the most popular quotes on the topic is Bill Gates’ statement in the New York Times in [March 2021](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/09/business/dealbook/bill-gates-bitcoin.html): "Bitcoin uses more electricity per transaction than any other method known to mankind, and so it's not a great climate thing." Not that this statement or the awareness of the issue would have prevented Microsoft from launching [ION](https://identity.foundation/ion/), a decentralized digital identity system, to run on the Bitcoin network. - -## But why is Bitcoin mining so energy intensive anyways? - -At the heart of Bitcoin’s energy-intensive model is the [Proof-of-Work (PoW)](https://www.coindesk.com/learn/2020/12/16/what-is-proof-of-work/) protocol. [Bitcoin mining](https://www.investopedia.com/tech/how-does-bitcoin-mining-work/), the process of creating new Bitcoins using PoW, requires solving complex cryptographic equations to receive the rewards associated with the creation of the next block in the blockchain. PoW is carried out by computers, known as ‘miners’.  - -
- -In the early days, a simple computer was enough to mine Bitcoin. However, the difficulty of the mining algorithm increased as the network grew larger and more people started competing to earn the next block’s rewards. On average, it takes [about 10 minutes](https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) to solve such an equation and to mine a new block. Today, Bitcoin mining has become a costly and elaborate endeavour – accessible only to large investors that can support powerful supercomputers – at the cost of [local communities](https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/18/1049331/bitcoin-cryptocurrency-cryptomining-new-york/). - -
- -It’s only sensible that miners are beefing up their machines to increase their chances. In fact, the sector became so competitive that [Intel created](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sustainable-crypto-mining-becoming-reality-nameet-potnis/) dedicated chips and specialized manufacturers for mining servers like [Bitmain](https://www.bitmain.com/) were established. With up to 3,250 Watts indicated by manufacturers, the power consumption of such devices averages 28,470 kWh per year if operated continuously. In comparison, the annual consumption of a freezer is estimated between 200 and 500 kWh per year.  - -
- -Additionally, operating a single mining machine is hardly the way to succeed. The biggest Bitcoin miners have fleets of hundreds of machines in so-called ‘mining farms’, carefully maintained and constantly ventilated, to prevent them from overheating. Some of the largest, like [Northern Data](https://www.rockdalemdd.org/news/whinstone-us-breaks-ground-build-world%E2%80%99s-largest-bitcoin-mining-facility-rockdale-texas) in Texas, have an energy consumption of 1 GWh per year, the equivalent of the energy produced by about [3.1 million](https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/how-much-power-1-gigawatt) photovoltaic (solar) panels.  - -
- -In critical times where humanity is facing serious global challenges in relation to climate change and the collapse of biodiversity, we must rethink the basics of how to decentralize our world.  - -## Are there more energy-conscious solutions? - -[Proof-of-Stake (PoS)](https://www.coindesk.com/learn/2020/12/30/what-is-proof-of-stake/) mechanisms have proven to be [less energy intensive](https://www.investopedia.com/tech/how-does-bitcoin-mining-work/#toc-downsides-of-mining) than PoW. With PoS, miners lock up (‘stake’) a blockchain’s cryptocurrency on escrow accounts to be granted mining rights. In exchange for this participation, miners receive an interest proportional to their stake as reward.  - -
- -PoS-based blockchains are faster and much more energy efficient than PoW-based blockchains. However, the implementation of a PoS protocol poses its own challenges. For example, it is known for incentivizing hoarding, rather than utilization, and driving centralization. The mining industry is attempting to shift perceptions and move away from its climate-polluting, power-hungry image by powering large mining activities with renewable energies or by offsetting their emissions with carbon credits. - -
- -While this might sound great at first, it does not resolve the underlying issue of incredibly high energy consumption. Should we really allocate relatively scarce renewable energy resources to such energy-intensive endeavours? Or should we rather look for more efficient alternatives – considering we have all the technology to create more energy-efficient models from scratch – and then support what energy consumption remains with renewable energy?  - -## ThreeFold Farming offers a greener paradigm - -[ThreeFold Farming](https://threefold.io/blog/what_is_farming/) is a decentralized, energy-efficient and meaningful alternative to mining. [ThreeFold Tokens](https://forum.threefold.io/t/the-potential-of-the-threefold-token-tft/1796) (TFT) are minted whenever new Internet capacity in terms of compute, storage or network is added to the ThreeFold Grid by connecting computers, known as 3Nodes.  - -
- -By contributing decentralized Internet capacity to the ThreeFold Grid, independent people and organizations called ‘farmers’ earn TFT in return – based on a [Proof-of-Capacity](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__proof_of_capacity?id=why-proof-of-capacity)  (PoC) algorithm. PoC is autonomously carried out by ThreeFold’s [extremely efficient](https://threefold.io/blog/for_our_planet/) operating system. First, Zero-OS scans the computer’s resources. Then the operating system registers the computing power and Internet storage on the [ThreeFold Blockchain](https://threefold.io/blog/tf_chain/), making the resources available to the entire network – thereby creating a [decentralized model](https://coincheckup.com/blog/threefold-is-the-decentralized-web-the-future-of-the-internet/) for Internet capacity provisioning. The [energy consumption](https://threefold.docsend.com/view/wsru3f9tmeaq62wq) of a 3Node can vary, depending on the amount of Compute Units (CUs) and Storage Units (SUs) it holds. “The average consumption for a Titan 3Node is around 26.71 KwH per hour”, says ThreeFold’s [Alexandre Hannelas](https://threefold.io/people/alexandre_hannelas/).  - -
- -Farming supports the realization of an open-source peer-to-peer Internet free from centralized servers and authorities. Similarly to Bitcoin, the management of transactions and the issuing of TFT is carried out collectively by the network to create a decentralized Internet economy. In a way, what [Bitcoin did to money](https://threefold.io/blog/bitcoin_threefold/), ThreeFold does to the Internet – while using much [less energy](https://threefold.io/blog/for_our_planet/).  - -

Our VCC system was implemented in the PoC algorithm, so every 3Node mints additional TFT to offset its own carbon emissions based on the power utilization of the individual 3Node per month. The [process](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-on-track-to-be-planet-positive/2097) is fully automated and executed by the ThreeFold Blockchain. - -

This makes the IT industry amongst the most pollutive industries in the world (along with the often-discussed airline industry, for comparison). - -
- -We believe IT can be sustainable. Actually, it should be! That's why energy efficiency has always been a key focus of ours. With climate change and sustainability as some of the most pressing issues of our times, new green solutions need to be our priority. It has been key to ThreeFold since the very beginning of its story to enable a technological infrastructure that can reduce the Internet’s carbon footprint drastically. - -## Simplicity is the key to unlock a better future - -Over time, integration suites, middleware solutions, and enterprise service busses have been invented and implemented to cover integration challenges within the current internet. This has further complicated IT architectures, resulting in a loss of actual end user workload performance. - -
- -ThreeFold reworked the whole approach to IT architectures and eliminated the layers of complexity. The result is a cloud stack that presents minimal overhead and that requires less hardware – reducing heat generation and eventually cooling requirements. By reducing the need for power, the net result is an energy-efficient Internet grid. - -## Improving resilience and efficiency through Self-Healing IT - -Keeping systems up and running is a major requirement in modern day IT. Leading vendors earn most of their margin by selling maintenance contracts, performance guarantees, and professional services. Their business models bring no incentive to make things simple and efficient for consumers. - -
- -Creating a self-healing environment requires only minimal manual intervention to replace broken hardware components. Broken hardware components are inevitable, and the Zero-OS distributed node architecture deals with such failures by turning off broken components and provisioning unused capacity. By removing the need to ship broken parts back and forth, and linking to the corresponding installation knowledge (engineers), a lower carbon footprint can be achieved. - -## “No painkiller” approach. We tackle the root issue - -If a specific piece of software or hardware is not delivering the required performance or reliability, we should analyze the core design/algorithm and its usage of soft/hard components to determine the root causes of persistent issues to be solved. - -
- -Currently, most storage vendors follow the path of least resistance when trying to improve on performance. Their solution for meeting performance targets is to use faster components (CPU, memory, network card, proprietary acceleration) rather than looking at the core algorithms that drive the utilization of those components. Swapping components for faster ones perpetuates a cycle of cutting corners and focuses reliance on innovation from hardware component providers rather than solving the more fundamental and underlying issues. That's a "painkiller" approach. - -
- -Zero-OS was designed to solve root problem issues by design. While still using high-performance hardware components on the ThreeFold Grid, the algorithm of Zero-OS maximizes utilization possibilities. This enables greater performance and sustainability. Some key examples how this is achieved: - -### Eliminating unnecessary elements from standard architectures - -Virtualization adds a layer of software between the actual end-user workload and physical hardware. It also allows for multiple workloads to run on the same hardware by using excess capacity. There is definitely merit in building a virtualization solution. Building an effective virtualization solution that does not require abundant context switching is key and this is why Zero-OS has been developed. Zero-OS uses a minimal Linux kernel that allows for a number of user spaces to co-exist. In these user spaces, containerized versions of software can be run, eliminating the need for hypervisors, virtual OS to fuel the virtual machines, and guest operating systems. This also minimizes the required overhead for the host OS. - -### Minimizing network connections usage - -Supercomputing delivered many new technologies. But, not all of them are usable solutions for everyday workloads. One technology invented to make supercomputers performant is the use of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). RDMA allowed physical CPU boards (containing both CPUs and memory) to access other CPU boards in memory stored data over a dedicated channel. This eliminated the need to transport data between CPU nodes over network connections (or other mainstream means to exchange data). The result was a considerable reduction in overhead created when allowing distributed end user workloads to operate over multiple physical cores. The leading server and storage solutions brands have never considered nor implemented such mechanisms. This resulted in an increased need for faster networks - increasing complexity, costs, efforts and resources needed to operate solutions. - -
- -RDMA is only used in certified farms and requires involvement of TF9. - -### Minimizing disk usage - -The storage solution uses slow and big (the bigger the better) HDD disks which drive in rack density. As they spin slower they consume less power and need less cooling. But then, how can you deal with read/write intensive workloads? The storage algorithm uses a SSD cache to acknowledge Inputs/Outputs coming from the applications, fills the erasure coded data blocks in large (up to 64MB) storage containers and writes the big chunks of data on the big and slow HHDs. If you are familiar with HDD disks, you know they like to be streamed on instead of having a lot of small bits written in a scratchy way. - -
- -Continuous innovation in all of these areas are leading to an efficient technology stack. diff --git a/content/blogarchive/how_it_works/how_it_works.png b/content/blogarchive/how_it_works/how_it_works.png deleted file mode 100644 index 39c142e12..000000000 Binary files a/content/blogarchive/how_it_works/how_it_works.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blogarchive/how_it_works/index.md b/content/blogarchive/how_it_works/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index fe31f3194..000000000 --- a/content/blogarchive/how_it_works/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,88 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: how_it_works -title: ThreeFold's Long Story Short -image_caption: technology -description: The truth is that ThreeFold is a big project.

Why? - -We strongly believe that a new internet is needed for our planet and for humanity. "If not now, when? If not us, who?" -
-
-What it boils down to is that currently the internet is only available to about 1/2 of the world (meaning billions are being left behind), it is centralized (a handful of large corporations own and profit off of our data), and it uses up to 10% of the world’s energy consumption. So, we’re building a new (peer-to-peer) internet that empowers equality (access), autonomy (data ownership, for example), and sustainability (reduces energy consumption). These values drive us forward. - -## How does it work? - -Everything on the internet – websites, apps, photos, videos, etc – uses up capacity and is stored in huge data centers owned by big companies, mainly in North America, Europe, and some in Asia. In our solution, centralized data centers are replaced with a grid of “nodes” distributed around the world. -
-
-These nodes are owned by [ThreeFold Farmers](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/what_is_farming) – but only the physical hardware – the data inside of the nodes belongs to the people or organizations who put it there. So, “farmers” plug in hardware and start to create capacity that can be used by people. -
-
-Farmers come in all shapes and sizes. Some farmers run small data centers while others simply run a node out of their living room. -
-
-When Farmers connect active hardware (add capacity) to the ThreeFold Grid, ThreeFold Tokens are created. Farmers can then sell those tokens to people who want to use capacity (e.g. a developer that wants to build or host a website, or a person who wants to store some photos). More on tokens down below. - -## Seems quite lofty. How will you build it? - -It’s true that rebuilding the internet is not so simple. But a lot of infrastructure has already been built and the technology is quite advanced. Over the past 2+ years (as of May 2020), independent ThreeFold Farmers have already plugged in more than 40,000,000 GigaBytes worth of storage and 15,000 CPU Cores across 21+ countries. That might not mean a lot to non-technical folks but it is quite a significant amount. - -## 21+ countries? What happened to equality? - -As far along as we are, we still have work to do. One of our biggest goals in the near future is to expand the grid to Africa, South America, and parts of Asia where currently the Internet is too expensive or not available. Currently, we farming is incentivized around these key geographies. - -## And what do you mean by peer-to-peer? - -Peer-to-peer means no middlemen – direct exchange of information and/or value between equal participants. Peer-to-peer means decentralization – breaking away from pyramid-based systems, greed-based systems – and putting **people** back in the center of their own (digital) lives. - -## So how can I access / use your internet today? What can I do on it? - -By June, some of the first experiences will be live. This includes file storage and communication tools and a virtual browser, all with the advantages of being more sustainable for our planet and with full control of your own data. And over time, more and more experiences will come to this internet. We’ll be updating here and on our communication platforms as they come. But don’t worry, as a user it doesn’t change much – no coding required. :) - -## Will [enter website or app here] be available on your internet? - -There are some tremendous reasons for a website or app to use our internet, but that will really be up to the website or the app. In the end, we are providing a responsible solution for responsible people and organizations. We would love to host anybody who believes in what we are doing! - -## How are you making sure it’s safe? - -Hacking has become a part of life and is almost impossible to avoid in the current systems – they are too complex and require too many people to operate. This results in less security which results in lots of security breaches. We took a look at the existing Internet (seven layers) and simplified it down to three layers. By simplifying the architecture and instead creating technology that is self-driving & self-healing, we removed the human requirement and therefore vastly minimized the possibility for hacking or human error. Then we also developed a storage algorithm which makes it such that if some of the information gets lost or stolen (somehow) or if some hardware goes down, it is all retrievable. Long story short, we flipped the existing system on its head. - -## What about the data ownership part? - -That has a bit to do with the security as well. Since you own your data, you decide who gets access. Which means your data isn’t just out “there” for the taking. Basically, we put you at the center of your digital life, where the applications and experiences you use serve you, not the other way around. - -## And how is it better for the planet? - -There are a few reasons for us being more sustainable. Data centers are super unsustainable, so the simple (but incomplete) answer is “no more huge data centers.” But if you want more detail: -
-
-- We use up to 3x less hardware for the same output, and using hardware at least 2x longer while maintaining good performance -- Having capacity everywhere, local to where users are – this reduces network requirements (and can even improve security) -- Using new algorithms (e.g. the one mentioned above for storage) which have dramatic efficiency improvement -- Re-using hardware where possible – let’s not throw away - -## How much will it cost? - -In the end we want to provide sustainable access to the internet and all of its solutions for less than a dollar per month per person but for now the cost will depend on what you choose to do. Certain experiences will cost money. Storing photos or videos, for example. But all at a fair price. - -## Speaking of money – so what’s up with the ThreeFold Token? - -As we mentioned above, tokens are generated when ThreeFold Farmers adds capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. - -Essentially, the ThreeFold Token is the medium of exchange on the new internet. So, if a developer wants to build something (e.g. a website or an app) or a user wants to store something (e.g. photos), he/she/they use(s) ThreeFold Tokens. - -## Need more answers? - -We hope that helps explains things. Obviously there is [a whole wiki](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold/#/) to dive in to. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, please ask us on our [forum](https://forum.threefold.io)! -

Already, these developments are shifting the [Internet’s “center of gravity”](https://www.securityinfowatch.com/perimeter-security/physical-hardening/article/21263002/real-words-or-buzzwords-edge-cloud-and-the-evolving-internet) from its core to the edges in order to keep up with the growing demand. In an increasingly interconnected world, centralized cloud architectures are proving to be [bottlenecks](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2022/03/25/demystifying-edge-technology/) hindering future growth. - -
- -Here are some interesting numbers to emphasize the explosive growth of connected devices and the impending data explosion: - -
- -* Back in 2018, [90% of global data creation](https://www.securityinfowatch.com/perimeter-security/physical-hardening/article/21263002/real-words-or-buzzwords-edge-cloud-and-the-evolving-internet) took place within the two previous years. -* In 2022, [4.95 billion people](https://www.securityinfowatch.com/perimeter-security/physical-hardening/article/21263002/real-words-or-buzzwords-edge-cloud-and-the-evolving-internet) are using the Internet and about [2.5 quintillion bytes](https://www.securityinfowatch.com/perimeter-security/physical-hardening/article/21263002/real-words-or-buzzwords-edge-cloud-and-the-evolving-internet) of data are created on a daily basis. -* About 2 billion computers, 15 billion mobile devices and more than 22 billion IoT devices are [active worldwide](https://www.securityinfowatch.com/perimeter-security/physical-hardening/article/21263002/real-words-or-buzzwords-edge-cloud-and-the-evolving-internet) on a daily basis. -* By 2025, more than [1 billion people](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/executive-perspectives/annual-internet-report/index.html) and [75 billion IoT devices](https://www.statista.com/statistics/471264/iot-number-of-connected-devices-worldwide/#:~:text=Internet%20of%20Things%20%2D%20number%20of%20connected%20devices%20worldwide%202015%2D2025&text=By%202025%2C%20forecasts%20suggest%20that,IoT%20installed%20base%20in%202019.) are expected to join the Internet. - -
- -And yet, the expansion of Internet capacity still largely occurs in the same centralized and inefficient way. The client-server model of hyperscale data centers is unable to meet this rapidly growing demand due to high building and operational costs to fulfill bandwidth, performance and cybersecurity requirements. As data centers are primarily built in the US, China and Europe, emerging countries have to be connected via sea cables which makes the model’s limitations particularly severe for these countries. And even in countries where many data centers are located, they are built in regions where land and electricity are as cheap as possible. Consequently, the bulk of data centers is still [far away](https://www.securityinfowatch.com/perimeter-security/physical-hardening/article/21263002/real-words-or-buzzwords-edge-cloud-and-the-evolving-internet) from where the majority of users and connected devices reside, and where huge amounts of data are generated that require processing – resulting in a [weak distribution](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__grid_valuation?id=what39s-the-potential-of-the-threefold-grid) of Internet capacity. - -
- -About [175 Zettabytes](https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/our-story/rethink-data/files/Rethink_Data_Report_2020.pdf) of data will be created by 2025, as our economy becomes increasingly digital and data driven. And this amount of data needs to be captured, stored and activated in a secure, efficient and high-performing way. So, the aforementioned technological use cases will not only [accelerate the demand](https://www.cbre.com/en/insights/reports/north-america-data-center-trends-h2-2021) for Internet capacity but also require edge capabilities, such as low latencies, in order to run and scale successfully. In fact, the centralized data center model poses one of the biggest obstacles to the success and spread of the Internet of Things and related applications. This will have to change. Actually, industry experts [expect 75%](https://www.i-scoop.eu/edge-computing-explained/) of data to be processed outside of the traditional data center or cloud model by 2025. - -## The rise of edge computing - -Computing needs to be pushed from centralized data centers to the edge to support the massive data consumption coupled to the rise of connected devices and emerging technologies. For instance, as more and more home appliances and devices are getting interconnected through the IoT economy, the amount of real-time data generated within our homes on a daily basis is rapidly expanding. Edge computing [tackles the shortcomings](https://www.i-scoop.eu/edge-computing-explained/) of the centralized model in terms of bandwidth, latency and autonomy. It enables applications and solutions to be hosted closer to where their data is being produced and consumed, thereby allowing for low latencies, rapid data processing and real-time decisions.  - -
- -The industry analyst company [IDC estimates](https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS48772522) the global spending on edge computing to increase by 14.8% compared to 2021 – amounting to roughly $176 billion in 2022. By 2025, this number is predicted to reach about $274 billion. - -
- -The idea of edge computing’s ability to process data on-site is simple enough. Nevertheless, edge computing fails to deliver on its promise as it still remains somewhat centralized today. Granted, so-called edge data centers are [closer](https://stlpartners.com/articles/edge-computing/edge-data-centres/) to where the data is being consumed than hyperscale data centers. But while they do provide an improvement from traditional data centers, they are not able to provide [far-edge](https://www.thefastmode.com/expert-opinion/23002-what-are-various-types-of-edge-computing-that-exist-today) capabilities, i.e. moving as close to the user and point of data creation as possible. They are simply smaller types of data centers that are still operated in a centralized manner, require the [same infrastructure elements](https://connectorsupplier.com/how-the-rise-of-edge-computing-will-reshape-the-data-center-landscape/) as centralized data centers, and usually [rely](https://www.techtarget.com/searchdatacenter/definition/edge-data-center) on bigger, central data centers. Quite edgy isn’t it? - -
- -As the need for Internet capacity – specifically at the edge – is rapidly intensifying, a new approach to Internet infrastructure is clearly needed. The Web 3 movement created a spur of interest across industries due to its promise to decentralize the Internet and cloud as we know it. Future data will be generated at the edge of the network and Internet which certainly requires an [architectural shift](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2022/03/25/demystifying-edge-technology/) away from the current model. - -## Realizing an interconnected future - -Ironically, decades after the spark of the open-source peer-to-peer Internet movement was steamrolled by large tech companies and governments eager to centralize the global Internet, we seem to enter an era of decentralization again. There’s no doubt that large tech companies did bring a lot of innovation to our global Internet and cloud stack. Technically though, [peer-to-peer](https://threefold.io/blog/p2p_web3/) systems have always been the most scalable option. Moreover, open-source architectures have built a strong reputation for providing high levels of security and flexibility.  - -
- -In a peer-to-peer model, people and devices are able to exchange directly, without intermediaries or servers in the middle – leading to a more energy-efficient, scalable and flexible paradigm that can expand on-demand. And undoubtedly, open-source will play a [key role](https://news.crunchbase.com/news/edge-computing-said-quissal-zededa/) in edge computing by simplifying and enhancing the building and deployment of software at the edge. - -
- -By leveraging open-source and peer-to-peer technologies, ThreeFold has come up with an Internet infrastructure that is capable of far-edge computing. ThreeFold offers a powerful set of [compute primitives](https://threefold.io/blog/building_a_new_internet_from_the_ground_up_3/) that provide the agility to create and deploy containers, Virtual Machines (VMs) and [Kubernetes](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__zkube?id=zkube) environments at the edge. Having integrated all leading industry-standard tools, ThreeFold’s solution allows for a seamless migration of any digital workload, making ThreeFold the ideal infrastructure for edge workloads. And all data produced by these workloads can be stored in a way that is ultra safe, highly reliable and [unbreakable](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/qsss/threefold__qsss_home?id=quantum-safe-storage-system). Combined with end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer [networking](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__planetary_network?id=planetary-network), applications can be hosted closer to where the data is being consumed – representing the ideal underlying layer for IoT networks, blockchain-based workloads and more to run and scale at the edge seamlessly, efficiently and privately. - -
- -The shift towards the edge is inevitable. ThreeFold is the first full-stack, [decentralized](https://coincheckup.com/blog/threefold-is-the-decentralized-web-the-future-of-the-internet/), peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure in the world that combines compute in the form of highly-optimized containers, storage and network capacity in an all-in-one solution. With  more than [81 Petabytes](https://threefold.io/) of capacity distributed across thousands of 3Nodes and 76 countries as well as [plans](https://threefold.io/blog/connecting_the_dots/) to sponsor the expansion of the Internet to developing regions, ThreeFold is the foundation for a thriving interconnected future that is secure, borderless and at the edge. - -

- -*Global carbon emissions keep rising. Climate change and the collapse of biodiversity are accelerating faster than ever before. And yet, it’s important to believe in our ability to change our behaviour if we are to secure our children’s future. It’s not about being naive or optimistic, but rather a commitment to change and to do better. Across the globe, movements are sprouting to save our planet. How does ThreeFold take part in this? How are we contributing to making the world a better place?*   - -
- -Once emitted, carbon can remain in our atmosphere for hundreds of years. To survive climate change, massive amounts of carbon emissions have to be offset – and fast. According to a UN report, [10 billion tons](https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/07/08/1027908/carbon-removal-hype-is-a-dangerous-distraction-climate-change/) of carbon emissions will have to be removed on a yearly basis by 2050 to prevent the planet from moving past the 2 degree Celsius threshold. Allowing the climate to heat by just one more degree would have unprecedented consequences – including the sinking of islands and coastal areas, an accelerated rate of extinction (right now, estimations suggest that about [24 to 150 species go extinct](https://e360.yale.edu/features/global_extinction_rates_why_do_estimates_vary_so_wildly) every day) and much more. Our complacency towards climate change proves that we’re still in denial of the chain reaction and butterfly effects of our past and present actions. - -
- -Clearly, we’ve already crossed the threshold in the climate crisis where we had enough time for long debates on potential measures and policies. The time for those debates was in the 1960s, when a [report](https://www.climatefiles.com/climate-change-evidence/presidents-report-atmospher-carbon-dioxide/) by former US President Johnson’s Science Advisory Committee first warned about the risks and dangers of excessive carbon emissions. “Climate change is the result of more than a century of unsustainable energy and land use, lifestyles and patterns of consumption and production,” said Jim Skea, one of the IPCC Working Group III Co-Chairs in a [press release](https://www.enviro.or.id/2022/04/ipcc-press-release/) published earlier this month. According to [a report](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-group-3/) published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we can still achieve our climate goals if we significantly reduce emissions across all economic sectors. However, we urgently need to take action to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. - -
- -Now is the time to act. Now is the time for bold moves. As Skea put it: “Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.” - -## The astonishing carbon footprint of the Internet - -While people are legitimately obsessing about the emissions caused by air travel and whether to take that plane or not – bestowing us with concepts like ‘flight shaming’ – other industries’ significant impacts almost go unnoticed. One of them is the Internet. - -
- -Think about the [chat messages and emails](https://carbonliteracy.com/the-carbon-cost-of-an-email/) you send out every day. How many times do you [‘google’](https://www.fastcompany.com/90171268/internet_impact_visualized) things? How much time do you spend [streaming](https://www.carbontrust.com/resources/carbon-impact-of-video-streaming) music or videos? All of your online activities add to your carbon footprint. There are a couple grams of carbon emissions attached to the energy needed to power your devices and the wireless networks you connect to. On top of that comes the significant amount of energy required to support the infrastructure of today’s Internet, namely millions of data centers and the thousands of servers in each of them. - -
- -Even though the emissions caused by streaming one song or sending one email may seem insignificant, the accumulated use of the Internet by billions of people all over the world adds up. It actually leads to a collective carbon footprint amounting to a share of roughly [3.7% of global emissions](https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200305-why-your-internet-habits-are-not-as-clean-as-you-think) caused by the Internet and its infrastructure – and these carbon emissions are estimated[ to double](https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200305-why-your-internet-habits-are-not-as-clean-as-you-think) within the next three years. This 3.7% share of global emissions by the Internet almost makes the global aviation industry with its estimated [2.1%](https://www.atag.org/facts-figures.html) emissions look good. - -
- -The global pandemic – while decreasing emissions in aviation due to travel bans – has already accelerated Internet consumption and the resulting footprint due to increased streaming behaviour, remote work and more. With [1 billion people](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/executive-perspectives/annual-internet-report/index.html) and [75 billion IoT devices](https://www.statista.com/statistics/471264/iot-number-of-connected-devices-worldwide/#:~:text=Internet%20of%20Things%20%2D%20number%20of%20connected%20devices%20worldwide%202015%2D2025&text=By%202025%2C%20forecasts%20suggest%20that,IoT%20installed%20base%20in%202019.) expected to join the Internet economy by 2025, a more sustainable infrastructure than power-hungry data centers is urgently needed to meet the future growth of the Internet in an ethical and sustainable way. - -## Data Centers are power hungry - -Big tech corporations like Amazon, for example, have massive carbon footprints with their corporate facilities, power-hungry data centers, complex operations and more. One larger data center alone consumes up to [120 MW](https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/opinions/from-the-sensor-to-the-data-center/) – and there are about 7.2 million data centers worldwide, according to [Statista](https://www.statista.com/statistics/500458/worldwide-datacenter-and-it-sites/). Moreover, a data center’s energy consumption accounts for [about 40%](https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/opinions/from-the-sensor-to-the-data-center/) of its operating costs. In 2020, Amazon emitted more than [60 million metric tons](https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/environment/sustainable-operations/carbon-footprint) of carbon dioxide up from about 51 million in 2019. Others like Google try to downplay their energy consumption by switching to renewable energy. While renewable energy is an improvement for sure, it does not change the fact that Google’s energy consumption could [power entire countries](https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertbryce/2020/10/21/googles-dominance-is-fueled-by-zambia-size-amounts-of-electricity/). - -
- -Is that really a desirable way for us to use the still scarce supply of renewable energy? Shouldn’t we rather focus on the root problem and on becoming more energy efficient in the first place? - -
- -The first step should be to reduce the Internet’s energy consumption and overall carbon footprint. But even then: reducing that energy consumption and transitioning to clean energy will only get us so far – particularly when considering that there simply is not enough clean energy to achieve a complete transition. Those emissions that cannot be cut have to be compensated for. A holistic solution to today’s Internet’s inefficiencies and emissions is needed. - -## An energy-efficient and regenerative Internet - -In December 2021, ThreeFold [announced](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/threefold-and-take-action-global-partner-to-bring-internet-access-to-1-billion-people-across-the-globe-301446693.html) its commitment to achieve a carbon double win for its open-source peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure, the ThreeFold Grid. The ThreeFold Grid is able to scale anywhere electricity and network exist, using about 10 times less energy than any comparable alternative while being more affordable as well. By starting from scratch at the operating system level, ThreeFold was able to build an Internet infrastructure that is highly [energy efficient](https://threefold.io/blog/for_our_planet/). This infrastructure is already made up of thousands of 3Nodes that are spread across 75 countries and counting. - -
- -Together with [Take Action Global](https://forum.threefold.io/t/driving-regeneration-with-tag/2120?u=hannahcordes) (TAG), an expert on climate education and action, ThreeFold aims to make the ThreeFold Grid planet-positive by removing its carbon emissions from the atmosphere three times in the form of [Voluntary Carbon Credits](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-on-track-to-be-planet-positive/2097?u=hannahcordes). While the pilot for this initiative was announced to start in January 2022, ThreeFold and TAG were so eager to take action against climate change, they kicked-off the pilot one month early in December 2021. It is the first step in ThreeFold’s plan to support the use of ‘nature-based climate solutions’ like tree planting to absorb twice more carbon than the ThreeFold Grid emits by 2022.  - -## A silver lining on the horizon - -Every industry and organization has to pull their own weight. There is no way around it. Far-reaching actions and transformations are needed across industries to limit global warming to bearable levels. “The decisions we make now can secure a liveable future. We have the tools and know-how required to limit warming,” said Hoesung Lee, IPCC Chair, in an April 2022 [press release](https://www.enviro.or.id/2022/04/ipcc-press-release/). Together with TAG, ThreeFold leads the way by working on energy-efficient and sustainable solutions for the Internet. The new IPCC report gives us a reason to be optimistic about our future and have hope for the regeneration of our planet. - -
- -Really, all it takes right now is widespread support and adoption of more energy-efficient, sustainable alternatives across industries like ThreeFold for the Internet – something that is up to each and every one of us. Let us all take action for a fairer, more sustainable world. - -

- - -The Internet has undergone a natural evolution from its early days as a fragmented network of computers, to the vast interconnected web of infrastructure and platforms we know today. This has shaped the way we communicate, work, and live. With each passing decade, new technologies and protocols have emerged to address growing concerns about cybercrime, surveillance, and censorship. Let's take a closer look at each phase of this evolution and how ThreeFold is taking action for the next step. - -## 1960s to 1980s: Internet's Early Days - -The Internet as we know it began as a project of the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in the 1960s, with the aim of creating a communication network that could withstand a nuclear attack. The network was designed to be decentralized, so that if one node was destroyed, the network could still function. The result was a decentralized system that allowed computers to communicate with each other over long distances, without relying on a central server. - -
- -By the 1970s, the ARPANET (as it was then called) had grown to include dozens of nodes and was used by government agencies, educational institutions, and research organizations for communication and data sharing. However, it was still very much a fragmented network, and accessing information from one system to another was not easy. So, in the early 1970s, Ray Tomlinson developed the first email system, which enabled users to send messages between different computers on the ARPANET. - -
- -In the late 1970s, the TCP/IP protocol suite was developed, which enabled computers to communicate across different networks and laid the foundation for the global Internet. This was the dawn of the peer-to-peer concept. In the early 1980s, the Domain Name System (DNS) was developed, which provided a way to translate human-readable domain names into IP addresses, making it easier to access websites and other resources on the Internet. Finally, in 1989, Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web, which provided a user-friendly interface for accessing and sharing information on the Internet. - -
- -The early days of the Internet were a time of experimentation and innovation, as researchers explored new ways to connect computers and share data. This phase of the Internet was focused on building the underlying infrastructure of the network and establishing protocols for communication between computers. - -## 1990s & 2000s: Popularization & Commodification of the Internet - -The 1990s marked a turning point in the Internet's evolution. The World Wide Web became the primary way people accessed information and connected with one another online. This new platform, which allowed users to easily access and share information, changed the Internet's use from an exclusive network for institutions and organizations to a tool accessible to the general public. As such, there was an explosion in its use, which allowed for the rise of e-commerce and online advertising – creating new business opportunities and changing the way we shop and consume media. - -
- -The emergence of new ways to interact online in the 1990s and early 2000s further popularized the Internet. Companies such as Amazon, eBay, and Yahoo! capitalized on this trend, creating a massive online market for goods and services. The further commodification of the Internet led to the rise of tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon. - -
- -This phase of the Internet was thus marked by the consolidation of power in the hands of a few large companies who controlled the infrastructure and thus access to information and data. The introduction of social media created new ways for people to connect and share information, but it also enabled the spread of misinformation and misuse of data. Some companies began to build their businesses on the collection and analysis of user data to sell advertising, which started raising concerns about data ownership, privacy, and security. - -
- -The 2000s also saw the rise of cybercrime and surveillance on the Internet. Cybercriminals began to exploit vulnerabilities in websites and software to steal sensitive information like credit card numbers, passwords, and personal data. Governments also started to monitor online activities in the name of national security. This led to the development of more advanced security protocols like HTTPS and VPNs to protect users' privacy and data. - -## 2010s: The Age of Big Data and Social Media - -The 2010s saw the rise of big data and social media, which brought a new set of privacy and security concerns. Issues such as data breaches, cyber attacks, and online harassment were becoming increasingly common as the Internet continued to evolve. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter collected vast amounts of data on their users, often without their explicit knowledge or consent. Governments continued to monitor online activities, and there were widespread reports of government surveillance and censorship. - -
- -These issues led to a growing awareness of the need for a more secure and privacy-centric Internet. This phase of the Internet was marked by growing concerns about data ownership, privacy, and security. The [Cambridge Analytica scandal](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/04/us/politics/cambridge-analytica-scandal-fallout.html) and the [Equifax data breach](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/22/business/equifax-breach-settlement.html) are just a few examples of the risks associated with the commodification of user data. To combat these issues, new technologies like blockchain and decentralized networks began to emerge. These technologies promised to create a more secure and private Internet by removing centralized control and giving users more control over their data. - -## 2020s So Far: A Shift Towards Privacy and Sovereignty - -The 2020s have seen a growing movement towards creating a more private and sovereign Internet. With continued concerns about data breaches, surveillance, and censorship, there has been a growing demand for more secure and private online services. Many people have started to switch to privacy-focused services like Signal and ProtonMail, which offer end-to-end encryption and other privacy protections. - -
- -Governments and tech companies are also starting to recognize the importance of privacy and sovereignty. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are examples of legislation that aim to protect users' privacy and give them more control over their data. Tech companies like Apple and Google are also introducing new privacy features in their products to give users more control over their data. - -
- -We are now seeing the emergence of Web3 technology, which aims to create a decentralized Internet that is more secure and private. Web3 is built on blockchain technology, which allows for decentralized control and eliminates the need for third-party intermediaries. This technology also enables the creation of user-centric digital twins, which are unique digital representations of individuals that can be used to authenticate their identity and provide secure access to online services. - -
- -Secure cloud technologies are also becoming increasingly important in the quest for a more secure and sovereign Internet. Cloud technologies provide scalable and reliable infrastructure for storing and processing data, but they also come with security risks. To address these risks, new technologies like confidential computing and secure enclaves are being developed to provide secure cloud environments that protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. - -
- -Together, these emerging technologies are driving a paradigm shift towards a more secure, private, and sovereign Internet. While there is still much work to be done to address the challenges of cybersecurity and privacy in the digital age, these developments are promising signs that we are moving in the right direction. - -## Looking Ahead: Together We Build - -Today, the Internet is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, and it continues to evolve. As we continue to innovate and collaborate, we can build a better, more secure digital future for all. Already, we are seeing the emergence of new technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, that promise to transform the Internet even further. As we move forward, we can expect to see more innovations and developments that aim to create a more secure, decentralized, and user-centric Internet that prioritizes privacy, data ownership, and security. - -
- -On our side, at ThreeFold, we see that many of the solutions being presented today are mere band-aids, without addressing the root of the problems of what the Internet has become. Our founders, who were early Internet pioneers themselves, along with a dedicated team, are building the infrastructure for tomorrow’s Internet. One that takes inspiration from the early days. One that is decentralized, peer-to-peer, open-source, secure, private, and much more! We believe that putting people at the forefront of our project is crucial, and that protecting our planet’s resources while doing so is equally important. We have a project like no other, and if you believe in the evolution of the Internet towards more security, privacy & sovereignty, we invite you to dive in to learn more. - -

The global data growth will reach more than 40 Zetabytes by 2020 which represents an average yearly growth of 42% starting at 4.5 Zetabytes in 2013. To host all this data, over 4000 new big data centers have to to be built. And to achieve this goal, $ 1 trillion USD investment capital is needed and land totalling the size of the UK would be needed. -
-
-The Internet is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. In this article we'll explain why that's not always such a good thing and where we see opportunities. - -## Internet capacity needs to become localized - -A big majority of users in the world connect to servers that are not present in their region and as such experience higher costs and low performance. According to a study by datacentermap.com, 80% of the data centers of the current Internet's service providers are based in the U.S. and Europe. The rest of the world has scarce Internet resources dotted around territories. -
-
-As a consequence most Internet users use Internet-based services running on infrastructure which is located far away from their physical location and most likely outside their country's borders. This decreases the general end-user experience (latency) but also adds unnecessary costs to transporting the information back and forth. Also, it adds legislation and compliance headaches to enterprises. -
-
-Our mission is to empower and inspire people to recognize abundance by living new experiences one hour at a time. - -## The Internet needs to perform better - -Compute and Storage vendors create poor-performing solutions. There have been yearly improvements in hardware following Moore's law. While this has allowed ThreeFold to progress and innovate, it has also led to software developers taking these advances for granted; cutting corners where they can, creating sub-optimal code and allowing software components to be layered on top of each other to achieve certain behavioral functionalities. -
-
-The inefficiencies have now led to a situation where organically-grown IT architectures are immensely complex. They use a variety of components from different software and hardware vendors integrated by so called 'integrators'. The overall effort and cost involved to create, operate and maintain such architectures is growing continuously and requiring an ever-increasing budget and resourcing to continue. -
-
-If we could go down to the core algorithms and take another look at these, and innovate at the heart of technology instead of applying patches and pain killers, we would be able to create much more end-user capacity than what systems provide today. Systems will last longer and will not have to be replaced by faster ones. Also, fewer engineers will be needed to create, operate and maintain these systems. Combined, these elements would present a more stable and reliable platform that can achieve higher levels of uptime. -
-
-Only upsides, right? Well a huge downside of such an approach is that vendors will make less revenue and more importantly less margin as systems will run for longer, be more stable and require less updates. So why would vendors innovate at the core of their solution? - -## The Internet needs to become more sustainable - -Did you know that the current Internet is responsible for between 5 and 10% of global energy consumptions? Making it more harmful to our planet than the airline Industry. The good news is that we can achieve 10x more power efficiency by addressing certain areas such as storage. -
-
-ThreeFold believes IT can do a much better job at being more sustainable - in fact ThreeFold believes it can reduce the Internet’s carbon footprint by 10 times compared to other industry standards in IT capacity producing solutions. -
-
-Power consumption is a function of better compute and storage performance that in theory would require more racks and cooling. ThreeFold's architectural approach brought solutions that enables it's Farmers to achieve roughly 3 times the performance per rack (so it uses fewer racks) and the racks require less energy than typical racks in the industry. -
-
-Read more about how ThreeFold achieves sustainability in [the following blog](https://www.threefold.io/blog/post/for_our_planet/). - -## The Internet needs to become more affordable - -The biggest cost in running IT architectures is the human cost. Today's complex systems, built out of ‘band aid and patches’ point solutions, organically-grown and badly documented IT infrastructures, need an armada of people to keep them ticking. Even though this is an example, one can learn a lot from the trends that are presented: -
-
-- On average an IT budget takes 5% of overall revenues -- IT consumes 6.5% of the total number of Full-time equivalent in the company, of which 85% are insourced and 15% on payroll. This means that the enterprise doesn't retain internal know-how to operate their IT. -- About 50% of IT budgets are spent on Infrastructure ane operations. Similarly, a big part goes to applications. A mere 5% is considered to be internal overhead within the IT department. -- Around 65% of the IT budget is spent on resources and services, around 35% is spent on hardware and software. -
-
-These figures present industry average numbers and paint a troubling picture that IT is a sizeable part of an overall budget, and that most spending is going to have the right knowledge skills insourced to the organisation to run the core IT architecture it relies on. For any other discipline in any organisation this would present an unacceptable risk to the business and its continuity - strangely not for IT. - -## The Internet needs to become self-healing - -The biggest source of downtime in computer systems is people. Getting people involved in fixing infrastructure problems creates the risk of accidentally causing more system downtime. A very recent example on this hit a large organisation cloud service provider. -
-
-20+ years ago when Internet data centers came into existence next to telecom points of presence (POP), the level of complication in architecting, and building and maintaining these infrastructures exploded. From an already reasonable complicated technology setup to transport packets of data around the globe, these information warehouses were created where data was uploaded to, processed, and the obtained results sent back to end users on the other side of the globe. -
-
-Managing a data center that contains solutions for information transportation, storage and processing is not an easy task and the growth of data volume uploaded, stored and processed has exponentially increased. The number of technologies invented and implemented in regards to the processing and storing of information has also exploded. This resulted in a double exponential growth in complexity to architect, build, operate and maintain these IT systems. -
-
-The time has come that we no longer rely on people to do the right thing in case of emergency - the complexity is overwhelming and the dependency on the availability of that information is huge. Having people to do manual deployments and operational responsibilities does not provide the agility and speed to keep up with the continuous exponential growth of the industry. It is time to take the human element out of IT and let smart and autonomous systems to take over. This will also let people focus on more creative activities. - -## The world needs a responsible internet - -On a humanitarian level the opportunities for creativity, learning and development are currently negatively influenced by a lack of access to performant and affordable Internet services. Since [Internet access is a human right](https://www.businessinsider.com/un-says-internet-access-is-a-human-right-2016-7#:~:text=Due%20to%20the%20lack%20of,20.), it should protect the status quo between the developed and less-developed regions of our world. - -## The Internet is growing fast, with the wrong solutions - -It is evident that the current solutions are super unsustainable and make no sense. Luckily, ThreeFold and many other start-ups are deploying new solutions. -

- -ThreeFold’s journey over the past years has been one of deep, collaborative commitment, marked by significant technological advancements and milestones in building a new cloud infrastructure from the ground up, as well as the global expansion of the grid to its current state. Throughout this journey, we have learned, adapted, and evolved, leading us to a strong strategy for the next chapter and achieving our collective vision. - -### **Meet Project Internet Capacity** - -We are thrilled to introduce the Internet Capacity project, a promising new extension of our mission. Building on years of dedicated work by team and community, this project is the fourth generation of the ThreeFold Grid and introduces the $INCA token (more on that below). With this project, ThreeFold is ready to become a base layer for the DePIN ecosystem. - -
- -On [our most recent project update community call](https://youtu.be/tXELhKk9RYg?si=fyz4K7gFQ1yD1PLS), we were grateful to hear from Michael Wellesley-Wesley, the founder of [Green Edge](https://green-edge.net/en) and prominent farmer on the ThreeFold Grid since 2017-2018, who introduced the project to the community. - -
- -The Internet Capacity project is rooted in three major objectives: - -
- -- **Reliability:** Achieving service levels that allow edge and AI workloads to run efficiently. -- **Community:** Establishing scalable community and communication systems for vast communities at both the farming and user levels. -- **Growth:** Expanding the grid to a million nodes in order to see out the vision of a truly global decentralized cloud infrastructure and ecosystem. - -### **Mission and Vision** - -As an extension of ThreeFold, the Internet Capacity project promotes a decentralized, community-driven, and inclusive cloud network, providing secure, private, and autonomous access to computing resources for all. The technology ensures a resilient, censorship-resistant infrastructure that protects data integrity and privacy, fostering innovation, digital sovereignty, and a more equitable internet. - -
- -The vision is to provide a cloud engine for a decentralized internet where users control their data and digital interactions. A global network of interconnected servers and nodes known as the grid, will democratize access to computing power and storage, forming the backbone of a new digital era of sovereignty, security, privacy, and inclusivity. The token supports a robust ecosystem, enabling the free exchange of internet capacity among cloud service providers, builders, and users on the grid. - -### **What to Look Forward to with the Project?** - -The project introduces several exciting elements for farmers and users alike: - -
- -- The most significant technological advancement is the Mycelium network, offering unbreakable connectivity and efficient routing, which is crucial for scalability – including for any DePIN protocol or project running on top of our grid -- Hosts (farmers) will be able to earn on utilization as well as hosting rewards, and set their own competitive prices within certain limits -- A marketplace of capacity will make it easier for users to find and rent capacity -- To attract serious cloud customers at a commercial level, robust uptime and performance guarantees will be ensured through Service Level Agreements, KYC will be introduced for reliability, competitive pricing will keep customers happy, and simplified products and approach will make for a better user experience -- A quality-based reward system will motivate cloud hosts to provide reliable service, while the flexible earnings model makes hosting more appealing -- A new token will launch on a high profile blockchain - -
- -All in all, there are a variety of elements coming together to ensure a sustainable and healthy ecosystem to grow decentralized cloud and Internet capacity around the world. - -### **The Team** - -An experienced team has been gathered around our DePIN launch, complementing the existing core team members. This combination of talent has a range of backgrounds and a collective understanding of how the $INCA token can bring a strong ecosytem for all stakeholders. This will be the natural evolution and continuation of what has been built by the ThreeFold team and community until today. - -- **Michael Wellesley-Wesley**: Team lead, co-founder of Green Edge and a long-time member of the farming community. -- **George Olver**: An expert in the DePIN space, providing day-to-day leadership. -- **Nick Hawkes and Max Gold**: Partners under [Gold Hawks](https://goldandhawks.com/), proficient in scaling DePIN ecosystem and historically part of the Helium and Solana communities. -- **Quentin Issele**: Formerly of OKEx, specializing in liquidity and marketing. -- **Rob Beland**: Founder of [DePIN Connect](https://www.depinconnect.com/), with vast marketing and influencer connections. -- **Theo Chapman**: Managing Director of [Zonaris](https://zonaris.io), coordinating execution within group. -- **Mariza Wellesley-Wesley**: A well-versed lawyer overseeing regulatory and legal aspects, co-founder of [Green Edge](https://green-edge.net/en). -- **Sabrina Sadik and Mik Perrault**: Our vital connectors between the Internet Capacity and ThreeFold teams. - -### **The $INCA Token** - -Many questions have risen about the introduction of a new token to the ThreeFold ecosystem. $INCA should be seen as an extension of $TFT. It will co-exist with $TFT, both convertible and usable across TF Grid 3 and TF Grid 4. The primary differences are: - -
- -- **Higher Profile**: $INCA will likely have a more prominent presence, especially on Solana. -- **Tokenomics**: $INCA will support app development, marketing, and community growth grants. -- **Max Cap**: Both tokens share a four-billion max cap, with $INCA providing an opportunity to double $TFT holdings (one $TFT converts to two $INCA). - -### **Benefits for $TFT Holders** - -For $TFT holders, the benefits are clear: - -
- -- **Swapping**: Each $TFT converts to two $INCA (during 2024), enabling easy entry for token holders. -- **Market Presence**: $INCA's launch in the DePIN sector on Solana positions it in a visible and attractive market. -- **Limited Supply**: The initial supply of $INCA will be limited, which could drive demand and price up. - -### **Together We Build** - -In conclusion, while the Internet Capacity project brings a new chapter, it is really a continuation, simplification, and amplification of the ThreeFold journey. We anticipate exciting developments as we prepare for the TF Grid 4.0 launch and the introduction of the $INCA. We are happy to address any questions you may have on [our forum](https://forum.threefold.io) or [our main chat](https://t.me/threefold), keeping in mind that we are still refining many aspects of this project. - -

With an uncertain future, we need to fix the digital divide or we risk leaving billions of people even further behind. - -## The Data Center Problem: Cost & Proximity - -The centralized data centers that power today's Internet are located "strategically" mainly in North America, Europe, and select parts of Asia. For populations living in these regions, Internet is accessible and generally relatively affordable. But the further you travel from these data centers, the less available and more expensive the internet becomes. Internet access is mostly an issue Sub-saharan Africa, throughout Asia, and some parts of South America. - -
- -Of course some data centers can be and are being built in and near developing and remote regions, but for reasons including cost and audience, this hasn't been a huge priority to date. Beyond that, the data center model as a whole simply cannot scale to meet the future demands of the internet nor is it sustainable for our planet, so this is not the right option. - -## The Internet Shutdown Problem: Control & Manipulation - -Lack of internet access isn't always just an availability or affordability problem. Today's internet can be limited or even shut down at any point, by the right people. Take a quick look at [NetBlocks.org](https://netblocks.org/reports), an organization that reports on global internet disruptions or outages. Typically governments are enacting these measures during times of unrest or protest or  important political moments. Even in the United States, the Executive Branch of the government has [the power to shut down the internet](https://www.klemchuk.com/ip-law-trends/government-power-to-shut-down-the-internet) in a case of a national emergency. - -
- -Cutting the internet or restricting certain services based on region (a common practice as well) is not only not right, it's dangerous. People rely on the internet for information and communication and no government or entity should have the ability to shut the internet down at their discretion. - -## The ThreeFold Solution: Fair & Neutral Internet for All - -In 2016, the United Nations declared internet access to be a human right, yet today if you are reading this post, you are privileged. All humans deserve access to the internet and ThreeFold has the solution. - -
- -With the ThreeFold model, nodes can be set up anywhere in the world where an existing internet connection and electricity are present. By putting physical infrastructure at the edge (close to users), greater levels of access can be reached. - -
- -Further, the ThreeFold Grid cannot be shut down or manipulated. It is a neutral internet owned by the people, where autonomous technology heals and runs itself and requires minimal human intervention. - -
- -Today we are working with partners in the clean energy and network / connectivity to build the solutions that are needed to provide fair and uninterrupted internet access with all corners of the world. - -
- -Of course we will need new safe, secure, and private solutions for people to collaborate online. Many of these are already live and deployable via ThreeFold Now Community Solutions.

But it does so in a more efficient way than the current Docker engine - the most used and known container technology platform in the world. - -### IAAS - -The ThreeFold node technology enables hardware capabilities to be used for IAAS services in a very efficient way. Overhead is reduced to a minimum by stripping out unnecessary layers of software that have been implemented over the last decade to patch scaling and performance problems. Our engineers have always looked at the root cause of issues and by innovating at the core algorithm level, solved many issues. -Examples are: -
-
-- **Less is more**: Scale down the operating system for a virtualization architecture to a minimum and boot it over the network - no local operating system files installed on local storage. -- **Look at root causes, no painkiller approach**: Step away from existing storage solutions that require proprietary acceleration hardware and use standard off the shelf, affordable and efficient components with a 100% software-based storage solution that can withstand hardware failures without requiring human intervention - creating a very efficient, reliable and performing storage solution that can operate standalone. -
-
-The platform is secured by using a network boot mechanism that makes it virtually hack resistant as there are no operating system files installed locally. Infrastructure as a service traditionally runs in hyper-scale data centers, remote from the businesses using it. ThreeFold node technology allows you to install, operate and run IAAS services close to your business locations operated by your local IT team. It operates on a peer-to-peer network - only transferring bits of data that need to be transported to avoid network congestion and traffic bottlenecks. - -### Archive - -Data generation is growing exponentially. More data has been generated in the last 2 years than ever before. This creates a big need to archive data. The ThreeFold node technology creates storage and archiving capabilities by using standard hardware and known interfaces (S3, FTP, WebDav, CIFS, and NFS) will be built by developers worldwide and made available. The low-level storage functionality supports version controlling of the archived data, which keeps all relevant changes without any limitation by using a small amount of actual storage capacity. - -### Security - -Data security and reliability are key aspects of any storage system. The ThreeFold node allows all data to be compressed and encrypted if and when needed. The distributed character of the storage system enables site redundant storage algorithms to be deployed while keeping large data volumes from being stored in a single location. This removes the risk of data being stolen (physically) and prevents a site outage to result in data outage. The distributed character of the system is in line with the increasing spread of actual data generation. ThreeFold has sensory equipment everywhere these days, and the overhead of storing all that information in a few central places is enormous. Data collection and storage happens once - reading data to use it for a particular workload happens many times. - -### Data Mining - -On traditional server architectures, every application has to set up its servers that run their code in isolated silos, making sharing of data hard. The distributed character of the ThreeFold node technology presents compute and storage capacity everywhere. This enables large data mining workloads to happen close to the source of the data. By storing data in a distributed manner, mining can be distributed as well. Distributed compute capacity next to storage capabilities creates the possibility to create data mining operations on local storage (which makes it very fast and efficient) by coding data mining algorithms in programming languages (such as Python, Lua, Javascript, and Golang). Data mining follows distributed data storage. -
-
-Never run into scalability problems again with the ThreeFold node. Data storage can expand horizontally using thousands of distributed nodes to create large storage volumes. - -### Smart Contracts - -Smart contracts are applications that run on a decentralized platform, exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud, or third-party interference. These applications run on a blockchain, a powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of that value. Smart contracts enable developers to create markets, store registries of debts (or promises), move funds following past instructions (like a will or a futures contract), and many other things without a middleman or counterparty risk. ThreeFold nodes run based on smart-contracts. - - -### Self-Learning and AI - -Blockchains can be seen as databases. By current database standards, traditional blockchains like Bitcoin are terrible: low throughout, low capacity, high latency, poor query support, and so on. But even with these terrible characteristics, blockchains introduced three new and important characteristics: -
-
-- **Decentralized data and shared data control** leads to more data and better qualitative data which results in better models. Shortening the machine learning time also enables AI to progress at a faster pace. -- **Immutable audit trails** improve the trustworthiness of the data, and improves the models' provenance on training and testing results. -- **Native assets** and assets exchanges make training and testing models intellectual property (IP) assets easier - enhancing decentralized data and model exchanges. -
-
-Blockchain technology allows more and better quality data to be presented to machine learning algorithms. It has been proven (Microsoft researchers - Banko and Brill) that more data — not just a bit more data but way more data — while using the same algorithms results in a lot better machine learning. Meaning that the future of machine learning is not in trying to create more sophisticated algorithms (which will happen). So by moving AI learning into a blockchain environment we speed up machine learning and in the end create AI. diff --git a/content/blogarchive/new_edge_cloud/new_edge_cloud.png b/content/blogarchive/new_edge_cloud/new_edge_cloud.png deleted file mode 100644 index 31514d91c..000000000 Binary files a/content/blogarchive/new_edge_cloud/new_edge_cloud.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/blogarchive/new_neutral_internet/index.md b/content/blogarchive/new_neutral_internet/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 89f07c18b..000000000 --- a/content/blogarchive/new_neutral_internet/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,77 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: new_neutral_internet -title: The need for ThreeFold's neutral internet -image_caption: planet internet -description: The Internet is no longer the neutral place it used to be. +80% of the Internet capacity is delivered by a handful of companies. -date: 2017-06-01 -taxonomies: - people: [kristof_de_spiegeleer] - tags: [decentralization, farming, grid, why, cloud, tech] - categories: [decentralization, farming, grid, why, cloud, tech] -extra: - imgPath: new_neutral_internet.png ---- -

-**The Internet is growing like crazy and is now a trillion dollar problem. Together we can build a new neutral Internet.** - -## An introduction to the problems - -- The Internet is no longer the neutral place it used to be. +80% of the Internet capacity is delivered by a handful of companies. This results in a loss of neutrality and openness and breeds inequalities. -- To support the continuous growth of the Internet and connect billions to new Internet Of Things devices, 400 million new servers are needed by 2020. The world therefore needs another 4,000 large-scale data centers that each consume 200 MWe of electricity: [see source](http://bit.ly/1UPUZYG). -- Today, about 4 billion people have no access to the Internet due to the high costs of connectivity and capacity. We believe these people have the fundamental right to have low-cost access to digital resources such as online identity solutions, education, health information and more. For this to happen, solutions that can lower the cost by a factor of 10 are required. -- Bandwidth does not follow Moore’s law. The growth of bandwidth required is much higher than the speed at which new capacity can be delivered. This is even more important in emerging markets. -- Current blockchain technology is not scalable and not sustainable. Example: the Bitcoin blockchain alone uses more energy today than Croatia. - -## Current Internet and Cloud capacity - -Today, the cloud computing industry represents a 100 billion dollar industry - mostly owned by about 20 global cooperations. Experts such as Bell Labs and Cisco believe the capacity requirements in the next decade will dramatically exceed existing infrastructure - requiring many more data centers and billions, if not trillions in investments. -
-
-The spectacular growth and advancements in cloud computing that occurred over the last decade resulted in large part from “hyper-scale” efficiencies - i.e. centralizing Internet infrastructure in very large billion dollar data centers. However, demand for Internet capacity already surpassed the available infrastructure with emerging technologies such as Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology. The existing hyperscale cloud architecture cannot cope with this growing demand as the requirements for land, power and funding are becoming outrageous. -
-
-The challenges facing the Internet includes the following: -
-
-- **Trillions of Investment Required**. In the next decade, the global Internet infrastructure requires another 4,000 data centers (250M - 1B dollar investment each) to meet demand which would cost trillions - this money could be better used in education, healthcare, or sustainable innovations. -- **Impossible to scale the networks connecting users to the hyperscale data centers**. Since hyperscale data centers are built in large "central" locations, the network leading to these data centers is congested. Even more, remote regions that are less connected to the Internet cannot benefit from these data centers’ IT services. -- **Non-local data and capacity**. Governments around the world are becoming more and more concerned about data leaving their borders. To tackle this centralization issue, they would need local IT infrastructure. Also, IoT workloads need local capacity to deliver constant real-time computing and storage requirements - for certain applications and workloads (e.g. driverless cars), latency is not an option. Hyperscale data centers can simply not match these requirements. -- **Not secure / at risk of choke point failures**. There are plenty of recent well-publicized problems around security, outages and loss of data. The reason for this is that centralized hyperscale architectures are inherently insecure - and failures at a single hyperscale location can cause widespread contagion and outages. - -## The ThreeFold Solution - -Our solution to these trillion dollar problems is to migrate Internet capacity to the Edge (closer to user location) - i.e. a “hyper-distributed” network architecture, located close to users (in cities, schools, offices, homes and even vehicles). -
-
-Edge networks will not necessarily replace the existing hyperscale capacity powering today’s cloud - rather, they will scale to meet the increased capacity demands going forward. However, if the current hyperscale capacity can be decentralized to improve energy consumption and reduce costs, this would be a huge global success. -

-By 2025, 60% of new Internet infrastructure will be decentralized and located at the edge of operator networks by using alternative locations which have stable (renewable) power and reliable connectivity. - -## ThreeFold's technology main benefits: - -- **Security**: The ThreeFold Grid is distributed and benefits from our ItsYou.Online identity management platform - making it much more secure. -- **Decentralized**: The solution enables to bring capacity closer to where users are located, enabling a Cloud at the Edge. -- **Sustainability**: The technology removes the need to build huge power hungry datacenters and by decentralizing the architecture enables up-to 1000% energy savings. -- **Making IT a true utility**: We always approached IT as Energy. Today we provide 3x more uptime and between 3-10x more cost effectiveness. -- **Neutrality**: The solution enables 100% neutral & private Internet IT capacity. Our blockchain technology provides security, neutrality & scale. - -## The ThreeFold Zero-Node - -The Zero-Node provides compute, network and storage capacity to the internet and ThreeFold's blockchain. This capacity can be used for any possible workload. Here are some characteristics of ThreeFold's Zero node: -
-
-- **Modularity**: Scaling from 8 vCPUs and 3.5 TB of storage (smallest) to clusters with 8000 vCPUs and 2 PB of storage (large), there is a range of possibilities at hand. -- **Sustainability**: Storing the hardware uses about 10x less energy, and about 2-3x for other workloads. -- **Decentralized**: The Zero Operating System ("Zero OS") is ideally suited for Edge networking - where automation, self-healing and hyper-distribution are must-haves. - - The Zero-Nodes are deployed as close as possible to the consumers of Internet IT capacity (IoT, residential, business, government, education, …). - - This results in massive bandwidth savings, we estimate to be able to keep 99% of the required bandwidth locally which has a huge impact on cost. - - This is the only viable solution to be able to provide internet to the 3.2 billion people waiting. -- **Self healing**: The architecture is designed to ensure that workloads and data can be accessed at all times. -- **Neutral & private**: A lot of work has done using blockchain (technology which powers crypto currency) to guarantee privacy and net neutrality. - - Designed around simplicity to be used by everyone. - - The technology provides anyone with the autonomy to deliver complex IT applications without the need for complex integration services. -- **Empowers equality**: Our technology should be usable by the “other billions” that remain unconnected. Due to the low cost-points, low energy requirements and reduced need of backbone network capacity. -

ThreeFold has focused on developing a more reliable Internet that can meet the demands and challenges of the future. A [more sustainable](https://threefold.io/blog/planting_the_seeds/) Internet that uses [less energy](https://threefold.io/blog/for_our_planet/) and is offsetting its carbon emissions by supporting tree planting and other impact initiatives. And an Internet that empowers us with digital [sovereignty](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_data_sovereignty/) while providing high levels of [privacy and security](https://forum.threefold.io/t/critical-security-updates-for-apple-and-google-underline-need-for-secure-it-ecosystem/1271?u=hannahcordes). One that is [inclusive](https://threefold.io/blog/more_inclusive_internet/) by being more affordable and accessible. - -
- -Our [mission](http://mission.threefold.me/) is planet first and people first.  - -## The planet and people are at the heart of our movement - -Without our planet, humanity has no home. Without our planet, we can’t survive. The fate of humanity depends on the planet’s health. We need a healthy planet for humanity to thrive. And our planet needs regenerative solutions at a large scale that combat climate change and the collapse of biodiversity. That includes the Internet and everything that lives on top. - -
- -ThreeFold aims to deliver on our promise of providing better solutions for our planet and people through our technology. With this approach, we’re taking action and making productive choices for our planet and humanity. Our [journey](https://threefold.io/blog/four_phases_of_threefold/) is shaped by the determination to drive the regeneration of our planet and to enable a better life for people. - -
- -*“Today billions of people don’t have access to the internet because of their station of birth. On one hand, it is unfair to them, and on the other, the world is losing billions of inventors and talents. Our internet can scale to anywhere electricity and network exist to provide access to the internet, education, and financial inclusion to everyone.” – [Kristof de Spiegeleer](https://medium.com/authority-magazine/the-future-is-now-kristoff-de-spiegeleer-of-threefold-on-how-their-technological-innovation-will-7acc0e51c365)* - -
- -Our approach is also based on community and connection. We’re determined to build better, sustainable, and inclusive systems for the planet and people – from realizing the Internet of Internets on a global scale to reimagining business, governance, finance, education, and more in order to provide better alternatives for people, enterprises, and governments. And we are in dialogue and partnership with global leaders who share a similar vision. - -
- -Here are three examples of the impact we’re creating together: - -
- -* Together with [Take Action Global](https://threefold.io/blog/planting_the_seeds/), we’re offsetting the ThreeFold Grid’s emissions three times by planting and protecting trees - -
- -* Together with [IETSA](https://www.threefold.io/newsroom/threefold-ietsa/), we’re making the decentralized Internet more accessible in underserved South African communities while also providing education in blockchain and Web 3.0 technologies - -
- -* Together with [Solidaridad](https://forum.threefold.io/t/solidaridad-revival/2158?u=hannahcordes), we’re working on the Fair Data initiative to enable a fair data economy - -## Driving change towards the future we want to live in - -We strongly believe in the ThreeFold Law which states that any good you do will return to you threefold in this lifetime. By making our technology actionable, we energize a collective approach towards a single mission – empowering humanity while regenerating our planet. - -
- -We’re aware that this mission is a big one. We’re aware of how aspirational it is. We’re aware that we are not perfect. And we realize that changing the world for the better requires patience and community. We’re in it for the [long run](https://threefold.io/blog/four_phases_of_threefold/) and we’re in it together. - -
- -*“It's an honor every day to wake up and be a part of a global movement of people who are trying to build a better Internet for humanity that can uplift and empower.” – [Adnan Fatayerji](https://www.threefold.io/newsroom/threefold-cybernews/)* - -
- -ThreeFold is more than a company or a project. ThreeFold is a global movement consisting of like-minded individuals and partners who share these values and vision. A movement united in our shared beliefs in open source, peer-to-peer, equality, and inclusion. By coming together to build a better Internet, we can create the foundation for a better world. We’re incredibly proud of the ThreeFold community and ecosystem. This beautiful community consists of open-minded, passionate, and determined people from all around the world, just like you. We’re dreamers, creators, builders, and change-makers. - -
- - - -## We are part of the solution - -There are many great projects and organizations out there that also follow the planet-first people-first philosophy. Like [Ecosia](https://www.ecosia.org/?c=en) – the search engine that plants trees and thereby positively impacts ecosystems, communities, and our planet. Like [ShareTheMeal](https://sharethemeal.org/en/index.html) – the world’s first app against global hunger that enables you to ‘share the meal’ with a child in need with one simple tap on your phone. Like [Patagonia](https://www.patagonia.com/home/?utm_source=actionworks&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=global_nav&utm_content=link) – a designer of outdoor clothing and sports gear that turned into an environmental activist. And like so many others. - -
- -Together, we can achieve the extraordinary. The ThreeFold movement is building our own future through the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet_of_internets/) – an Internet that will be made up of hundreds, thousands, and ultimately millions, of interconnected local Internets that enables us all to directly connect and exchange without limitations or intermediaries. No matter what you do to support planet-first people-first movements, thank you. In doing so, you’re making a difference. You’re contributing to making the world a better place. - -

- - -Tim Berners-Lee created the web server and browser in 1990. Back then, the web was of a free, rather decentralized nature in which no single entity was to control the access to it. With the client-server architecture of the web, however, centralization came about. [Nowadays](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__why_intro?id=everyone-should-be-autonomous), the web as well as the Internet in general are highly centralized. There are only a few companies acting as gatekeepers to large parts of today’s Internet. The Internet as we know it is continuously [struggling with issues](https://theconversation.com/web-3-0-the-decentralised-web-promises-to-make-the-internet-free-again-113139) related to its centralized nature – from censorship and attacks on net neutrality to manipulation attempts from companies with [monopolistic power](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/08/28/who-owns-the-internet). These issues are systematic and major players like Amazon or Facebook are [benefitting](https://techmonitor.ai/boardroom/power-of-tech-companies) from the situation as it is. This business model is also highly reliant on centralized hyperscale [data centers](https://threefold.io/blog/data_leaks/) that also come with a whole set of issues, from their vulnerability and limited scalability to their extremely high energy consumption [and more](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_cloud_vs_centralized_providers_like_aws_azure/). - -
- -People have become the [product](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_data_sovereignty/) of a business model where companies offer their services in exchange for personal data – in order to capitalize on and exploit the data, basically squeezing people out for their data like oranges for juice. In times where [data exploitation](https://www.techradar.com/news/why-personal-data-exploitation-has-become-the-norm) is the norm, it makes sense that data is often referred to as digital oil or gold. Moreover, algorithms of social media platforms increasingly lead to content provoking controversy and [addictive](https://thereboot.com/creating-decentralized-social-media-alternatives-to-facebook-and-twitter/) engagement as this type of content tends to increase the time people spend on the platforms – with shocking impacts like The Wall Street Journals’ [investigation](https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039) “The Facebook Files” and The New York Times’ audio series [Rabbit Hole](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/podcasts/rabbit-hole-prologue.html) show. - -
- -All of these issues have strengthened the push towards decentralization, mainly associated with the blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, many of the projects in the decentralized space still rely on centralized providers or structures to some degree. The second most-popular blockchain in the world, [Ethereum](https://threefold.io/blog/decentralize_blockchain/), for example, has 60% of its nodes run on [centralized cloud providers](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_cloud_vs_centralized_providers_like_aws_azure/) with 25% of them running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). [Akash](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_2_akash/), a blockchain-based cloud computing platform, prevents unutilized capacity from centralized cloud computing services from going to waste. Leveraging this underutilized cloud capacity, however, also causes Akash to be highly dependent on [centralized capacity](https://blog.orchid.com/akash-networks-greg-osuri-on-decentralizing-cloud-computing/). [Dfinity’s](https://threefold.io/blog/project_comparison_1_dfinity/) platform for decentralized apps (dApps) is based on an ecosystem of independent data centers, which makes it rather centralized on an infrastructural level. - -
- -While the previously mentioned projects are all seeking to push decentralization, they all have one thing in common: they rely on centralized structures or providers at least to some degree and therefore, are not fully decentralized yet. So, what does [true decentralization](https://threefold.io/blog/decentralize_blockchain/) look like? - -## How ThreeFold is Changing the Game - -It is our [mission](https://threefold.io/mission) to transform the Internet and Cloud and to create borderless opportunities for humanity. Therefore, we‘re truly committed to decentralizing the infrastructure behind the Internet to scale current and future digital workloads. At Threefold, we’re building an entirely [new infrastructure](https://threefold.io/blog/an_intro_to_the_threefold_grid/) from the ground up, starting with a [Grid](https://threefold.io/grid) of new, neutral capacity and our operating system [Zero-OS](https://threefold.io/blog/zero_os_blog/). Our ThreeFold Grid, based on open-source [technology](https://threefold.io/tech), enables an autonomous, [secure](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__usp_secure?id=network-security), and energy-efficient infrastructure that allows for unlimited scalability while remaining affordable. Our Grid is the largest and [most advanced](https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2020/06/20/largest-distributed-peer-to-peer-grid-on-the-planet-laying-foundation-for-a-decentralized-internet/) peer-to-peer infrastructure in the world, already available in more than [50 countries](https://explorer.grid.tf/) and keeps expanding fast. With our energy-efficient full stack [cloud infrastructure](https://cloud.threefold.io), uniting compute, storage, and network, we are much more comprehensive than other projects. - -
- -At ThreeFold, we believe in giving power to the people by developing technologies that empower individuals, enable social participation, and foster collaboration. We’re enabling even people without technical skills to [join the network](https://threefold.io/farm) with plug-and-play [3Nodes](https://shop.threefold.tech/index.php?route=common/home) offered through our certified hardware partners. The ThreeFold Grid is therefore [more inclusive](https://www.threefold.io/blog/post/tf_grid_peoples_internet/) and allows any individual to participate. Our peer-to-peer nature removes the need of centralized servers and any type of intermediary, allowing applications and data to live closer to where they’re being utilized. - -
- -In addition to that, we believe that no one but you should own your data. Our technology empowers every user to be [data sovereign](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_data_sovereignty/), giving them full control over their own data by using a variety of innovative technologies, such as autonomous IT, blockchain, and [peer-to-peer](https://threefold.io/tech/peer-to-peer) networking. This way, our technology is turning traditional IT upside down, enabling a data-sovereign Internet that gives users [control](https://threefold.io/blog/join_the_peoples_internet/) and ownership of their data in an [entirely secure](https://forum.threefold.io/t/critical-security-updates-for-apple-and-google-underline-need-for-secure-it-ecosystem/1271), peer-to-peer IT ecosystem. - -
- -All in all, we provide the low-level primitives for a [decentralized world](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-is-the-substrate-for-decloud/1295), enabling any project to run on a fully decentralized, [energy-efficient](https://new.threefold.io/blog/post/for_our_planet/), and self-healing infrastructure. As we truly believe in collaboration to effect change at a large scale to fully decentralize the [Internet and Cloud](https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/ambitious-startup-to-disrupt-the-internet-and-cloud/b38rwj4), our [partnership](https://threefold.io/partners) ecosystem keeps growing. Most recently, we announced a [strategic partnership](https://threefold.io/partners/owncloud) with ownCloud, an alternative to public clouds with more than 200 million users worldwide, that aims to advance the decentralization of the [consumer cloud](https://threefold.io/news/post/owncloud_threefold/). - -
- -So, we’d like to invite you to join forces with us to further push the [decentralization](https://www.econotimes.com/ThreeFold-DFINITY-and-the-race-to-Decentralize-the-Internet-1618367) of the Internet together – whether by becoming a [3Node](https://threefold.io/farm) or building on our ThreeFold Grid, by buying our ThreeFold Token ([TFT](https://threefold.io/tft)), our currency for a decentralized world, or by [testing](https://threefold.io/info/cloud#/cloud__evdc_getting_started) our P2P Cloud.

- -The peer-to-peer Internet incentivizes all citizens of our world to connect computers from their homes or offices to participate in a distributed data economy owned by the people. By allowing humans and machines to interweave without intermediaries, a decentralized and self-sovereign Internet can emerge. - -
- -Quite simply – there is no good reason that our data is being stored and controlled by others in the information age. Why are we paying centralized companies to handle our information on our behalf, when it makes us vulnerable to be turned into products, and would take us the same time to do it ourselves? - -
- -Peer-to-peer isn’t an alternative to the Internet, it’s an alternative to centralized cloud giants. The Internet doesn’t need replacing; it is one of the most beautiful inventions of our civilization, if not the greatest. Which is not to say that cloud providers are completely obsolete. They serve functions that decentralized systems cannot (e.g. big data); but peer-to-peer systems are just infinitely more resilient, secure, private and scalable. - -
- -In times of exponential evolution and innovation, we have our fears around the Internet. - -We don’t need to disconnect ourselves even further from our reality and it is our responsibility to ensure a safe and fair future for the generations to come. A centralized Internet which is controlled by a handful of companies is a serious existential threat. If emerging technologies such as IoT, Blockchain and the Metaverse are not hosted on a self-sovereign, peer-to-peer infrastructure owned by all of us, we may be running head down into the matrix. - -
- -The potential of technology to change the world remains endless and limited to our own imagination. We decide to switch from fear to love, and to move forward as one humanity. It is our responsibility as global citizens to pursue greater collective consciousness. - -

After doing a comprehensive scan of the technological space we realized that Blockchain holds the best technology to store (1) Smart Contracts and (2) Transactions in an immutable way. We created our own blockchain database: Rivine to host the Smart Contract layer before switching to the Parity Substrate of Polkadot and our Transactional blockchain to the Stellar Network. -
-
-While we use blockchain technology, ThreeFold is much more than just "a blockchain project" as we apply many more revolutionary technologies. We decided to use Parity Substrate as we don’t see the need to create something if there’s already great technologies out there that we can already use. Today we’re proud of our Smart Contract for IT layer and approach the ThreeFold Grid v3.0 release this year which will expose its full potential to interact with the primitives of the grid. - -## So what is this Smart Contract for IT about? - -The Smart Contract for IT allows you, your company or your community to execute the storage and running of your files and applications securely with consensus and automatic billing. You could compare it as a fingerprint check and your data would be accessible only if presenting your private key (fingerprint). Let’s maybe go through the process for a better idea of how this works. -
-
-The smart contracts are like recipes for chefs to cook exactly what you want. In that sense they need to be very accurate and as descriptive as possible to deliver what you need. In the case of ThreeFold, the smart contracts would define different sets of Internet resources you would need to store files, run applications, or communicate across the network. -
-
-Whenever you want to reserve more resources to store your latest album or run your applications, you will define the resources you need to your 3Bot or Digital Twin (your personal virtual system administrators) which will then look at different smart contracts that are available and choose the most appropriate package. For e.g. Reserve 3 PB of Storage in Switzerland across 7 nodes. -
-
-Following that, your 3Bot or Digital Twin will create and register the smart contract in the blockchain database in a few seconds, providing you with all your specific needs. It will also store and secure some instructions to the BCDB for the nodes to meet smart contract completion. -
-
-ThreeFold had to make sure that user data would remain ultra-secure. Inspired by storage and communication algorithms used in space, we integrated it between the Smart Contract layer and Zero OS. The algorithm splits data into unrecognizable ‘slices’ that are distributed via network connections to different nodes locally or across the world, and that can be reconstructed only with your fingerprint. - -## More than the average Smart Contract - -Via your Smart Contract for IT, you can also define a consensus mechanism and create multi-signatures for smart contract execution or completion to deliver appropriate digital services in for example work related activities. -
-
-The beauty of the Smart Contract for IT is that it can work with thousands of connected nodes for the proper execution of any digital requirements on the infrastructure, verify if consensus was reached or not, download the right files to execute the smart contract and verify them, make sure that no hacker or outsider can ever gain access or influence its execution and more. -

So, we started from scratch and shaped a new approach. ThreeFold's open-source technology addresses the scalability, security, storage, energy, and operating issues by simplifying architectures and not relying on third-party software. This drives down costs and improves efficiencies. - -## What is ThreeFold's Technology Toolbox? - -ThreeFold's technology is based on three primary building blocks: Stateless Computing, Self-Healing Technology, and Blockchain technology - this is the core of our “Technology Toolbox". -
-
-- **Stateless Computing**: a stateless operating system, Zero-OS, enabling distributed hardware to form an Edge Internet grid generating IT storage and compute capacity -- **Self-Healing Technology**: controls and operates a distributed cloud and reserves, procures, and executes workloads on the grid using our Jumpscale platform. It delivers autoscaling and automation frameworks that enable self-healing and can be adapted for any kind of IT workload. -- **Blockchain Technology**: Via Rivine - our secure, scalable “proof of stake” blockchain, along with our identity management platform, ItsYou.online. Our blockchain technology enables user authentication, access controls, secure workloads, and heightened security. - -## Enabling Stateless Computing - -The global decentralized internet will be composed of thousands (millions?) of nodes distributed geographically. This means the decentralized internet must be powered by a stateless operating system that can be booted via the Internet (as opposed to living on the node locally). This removes the complexity of upgrades, truck rolls, etc. -
-
-Open-source components have been developed, Zero-OS, for the deployment of bare metal machines functioning as Internet nodes and application hosts. Our Zero-OS platform runs containerized applications and software code on secure and distributed IT infrastructure. Zero-OS can be deployed on off-the-shelf hardware by anyone willing to make server and storage capacity available in their markets and within our network. - -### The benefits of Stateless Computing are substantial, including: - -- **Performance**: lightweight OS without overhead for running bare-metal machines. -- **Free**: finds the optimal performance of server & storage nodes at no cost. -- **Private**: no data footprint remains while workloads move from one node to another. -- **Distributed**: capacity is generated without the need for data centers: At The Edge. -- **High-available**: easy creation of clusters while applications run in fragmented segments. -- **Portability**: moving software from one node to another within the grid is instant. -- **Secure**: open-source distributed software with transparent code. No security backdoors -- **Sustainable**: energy-efficient OS resulting in very low node power consumption. - -## Technology that is self-healing & self-driving - -ThreeFold's Jumpscale framework and ZeroBot allow the creation of blueprints to auto-deploy applications within the compute environment. The bots are constantly checking the health and uptime of the infrastructure, and runtime environments, to guarantee the performance and availability of applications at all times. - -### The benefits of our self-healing technology protocols include the following: - -- **Self-Healing**: the platform regenerates when health issues that cause downtime for infrastructure and applications are detected. -- **Intelligence**: agents capture information from the grid and make intelligent decisions to provide an ideal and optimal host environment for software code and containerized applications. -- **Lifecycle Management**: the status of the infrastructure and the lifecycle of running applications are constantly checked and recorded. -- **Autoscaling**: the platform automatically scales to meet application and infrastructure performance. - -## Blockchain Technology to execute workloads and applications via smart contracts - -The engineers developed new blockchain algorithms based on proof of stake for validation purposes and turned this into our Rivine open-source blockchain software. -
-
-Unlike the “proof of work” blockchains that currently dominate the space, our Rivine blockchain is scalable, green, and secure - and does not rely on huge mining resources. We run our blockchain on approximately 200 dedicated nodes and do not rely on any third-party software. -
-
-In addition to our blockchain technology, we have also developed ItsYou.Online, an identity, and access management platform. Itsyou. online uses three-factor authentication to manage access on our network and facilitate execution. - -### The benefits of TF blockchain technology and identity management platform include: - -- **Sustainable**: our algorithms to reach consensus use a minimal amount of energy and electricity compared to other blockchain software and networks. -- **Lowest possible cost**: of transactions make it an efficient and fast payment system. -- **Neutral**: state of the network and applications are recorded in a transparent and immutable manner. -- **Payment fulfillment**: transactions are automatically paid using ThreeFold Tokens. -- **Smart Contracts**: fully automated execution of contracts from customers buying Internet IT capacity. -

- -The [third release](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-new-in-tfgrid-3-0/1133/1) of the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__threefold_grid) represents a major step in the decentralization of the People’s Internet with the [Smart Contract for IT](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__smartcontract_tfgrid3) coming to life on the ThreeFold Blockchain (aka “TF Chain”). Built on the Substrate framework, TF Chain represents the layer-0 for all current and future technologies to provision decentralized Internet capacity.  - -
- -But what is Substrate to begin with? And what exactly does our TF Chain do? - -## What is TF Chain and what is Substrate? - -[TF Chain](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__tfchain) is the universal smart contract layer on the ThreeFold Grid. It’s an application-specific blockchain customized for the operation of a single application – provisioning decentralized compute, storage and network capacity.  - -
- -[Substrate](https://substrate.io/) is a blockchain-building framework from [Parity](https://www.parity.io/) that allows developers to simply create future-proof solo blockchains or parachains for any use case. Parity was founded by Ethereum’s co-founder and first CTO Gavin Wood in 2015, and went on to develop Substrate to power a multichain, interoperable and decentralized Internet. - -## Why did we choose Substrate for our TF Chain? - -Substrate brings clear benefits to [TF Chain](https://threefold.io/tech/tf-chain) in relation to its frameworks for developers, its interoperability with other blockchain ecosystems and its huge community. More than 150 projects from NFTs to DeFi are already building on it.   - -
- -By providing a solid, mature and secure layer for custom blockchains, Substrate is built for adoption. The blockchain framework was built with the programming language Rust and is modular by design. Choosing Substrate allowed our developer team to leverage great blockchain constructs and efficiently build TF Chain instead of re-inventing the wheel.  - -
- -Its flexible, modular and composable architecture enables our team to focus on what matters the most – the unique demands of [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/grid). For example, we’ve built  a Grid module with specific functionalities for farms and nodes. Just like a chef can invent a new recipe and add it to a menu, Substrate allows our developers to build and add as many custom functionalities to TF Chain as we’d like, in a fully decentralized way.  - -
- -A major benefit that comes with TF Chain being built on Substrate is the native compatibility with the Polkadot ecosystem, opening up the opportunity for ThreeFold to become a parachain on the Polkadot network and seamlessly bridging to other Substrate-based chains in the future. - -## What’s the purpose of TF Chain? - -For ThreeFold to be a [truly decentralized](https://threefold.io/blog/quest_decentralize_internet/) peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure, people should be able to use Internet infrastructures from anywhere without any intermediaries like [AWS](https://threefold.io/blog/threefold_cloud_vs_centralized_providers_like_aws_azure/). TF Chain serves exactly that purpose.  - -
- -It orchestrates the provisioning of compute, storage and network on the ThreeFold Grid via [Zero-OS](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/technology/threefold__zos), removing all forms of intermediaries present in today’s centralized IT infrastructures. Put simply, TF Chain allows people to provide and use cloud resources in a 100% decentralized way.  - -## What does TF Chain do? - -[TF Chain](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/threefold__tfchain) is responsible for achieving consensus on all Internet capacity transactions on the ThreeFold Grid and to store them in a historical record. This prevents users from "double spending" their [ThreeFold Tokens](https://threefold.io/tft) and ensures the correct execution of Internet capacity provisioning via smart contracts, while also protecting the network from potential attacks.  - -
- -An exciting feature that comes with TF Chain 3.0 is a totally new peer-to-peer billing framework for Internet capacity provisioning and workload deployment. This module allows for all functionalities of the ThreeFold Grid to be provisioned peer-to-peer between users and farmers. Therefore, the ThreeFold Token now also lives on the Polkadot network, allowing it to [bridge back and forth](https://threefold.io/blog/bridges_connecting_threefold_ecosystem/) from the Stellar network and potentially from other chains in the future. - -
- -While TF Chain builds on the Substrate framework, most of its functionalities are custom-built to fit the specific needs of the ThreeFold Grid – from Internet capacity provisioning, workload deployments, and payment and billing processes, to digital twin creation and much more. By executing all these actions via [smart contracts](https://threefold.io/tech/smart-contract) in an automated and decentralized way, the activity on the ThreeFold Grid is always secured by blockchain technology and available to other users for open collaboration.  - -
- -*Farms can now be registered on our new [TF Chain Portal](https://threefold.io/blog/tech_update_admin_portal/)!* - -## The Future - -While Internet capacity provisioning and workload deployments are already executed via TF Chain, the minting of TFT according to the [Proof-of-Capacity algorithm](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/farming/threefold__proof_of_capacity) remains on the Stellar blockchain for now. - -
- -Building our own application-specific blockchain represents a major step towards decentralizing the ThreeFold Grid and ecosystem – a **massive thank you** to our developer team for this great achievement! 🙏 - -

-
-You've dreamt of a different world. A world where people trust and treat each other with respect – and where everyone has equal chances to learn and to thrive. A world where we're not just cogs in a machine that serves only the few, rather we work and co-create as part of systems that benefit all. A world where solutions are sustainable for our planet, or even better, regenerative. This world is not just a dream, though – and you're not alone. Each day, more and more like-minded people are coming together. Welcome into the fold. - -## Meet the Movement - -To understand ThreeFold, you should first understand where we came from. Since the late 90's, some of the ThreeFold co-founders have worked on Internet storage and cloud technology. And after years of building, and many successful launches, they came to understand that they were part of a broken system that was productizing people and damaging the planet. Despite this, they knew that the Internet held and holds the key to a better world, and that the only way to have a truly sovereign, secure, and energy-efficient Internet was to start from scratch. So we did. -
-
-This is how our story began – and over the past four years we have grown and expanded a team of like-minded and passionate people from around the world to bring ThreeFold to life. But for us, we are still in the beginning of something much bigger to come. -
-
-We don't consider ourselves a company, rather a group of humans helping other humans – and our planet. We believe the world needs to change, and we choose to not just talk, but act, to make that change happen. We cannot and would not want to do this alone. There is a strong, passionate, and growing community around us – partners, farmers, ambassadors, technology testers, other contributors, and supporters just like you. - -## Our Mission, Vision, and Values Drive us Forward - -Our mission is to build and expand a data-sovereign and planet-positive Internet owned by the people, for the people. This will enable equal chances for people around the world to learn, partake and succeed, and will help to heal our planet. -
-
-Engrained into the work that we do are three key values or principles: -
-
-We believe in **sovereignty**, and in protecting people. Everyone should own their data, and no one else, not even ThreeFold. Our peer-to-peer technology allows every user to be data sovereign – giving them 100% control over their data. -
-
-We believe that everyone should be given **equal chances** to learn, partake and succeed. Internet access is a human right, and at ThreeFold we commit to scale our technology to new regions to empower the unconnected. -
-
-And we unify our practices, partnerships, and products around a single mission – to **heal our planet**. By making our technology actionable, we enable a collective approach to have an impact together. - -## Together, We Invite the World Into the Fold - -It's important for others to understand who we are. Thus, we identify with and embody three key attributes as a collective, to show the world what the movement is all about: -
-
-**ThreeFold is purposeful.** We exist to help humanity thrive. Our mission is bold and motivates every step we take. We adapt to our evolving environment and passionately strive for excellence. -
-
-**ThreeFold is empowering.** We help people find themselves and do what they love. We provide support to people and projects that help build a better world, whether they have moonshot visions or down-to-earth ambitions. We aren’t the hero of our story – they are. -
-
-**ThreeFold is approachable.** ThreeFold keeps it real. We’re open and honest, avoiding upstage corporate language and phony marketing spins. We don’t see ourselves as a company, but more like humans helping other humans. So being genuine, friendly, and loving comes naturally. -
-
-In its essence, the movement is open and inviting. We've created **a participatory Internet economy**, where anybody around the world can plug in a 3Node and add capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. Together, we're expanding a data sovereign and planet positive Internet infrastructure, owned by the people, across geographical and cultural borders. -
-
-We believe in **collaboration, not competition**. Our technology serves as a responsible underlying layer on top of which anybody can build and create. We have [beautiful partners](https://threefold.io/partners) already on board – and [an alliance](https://threefold.io/aci) of conscious people and organizations who share our vision – and we are constantly expanding our ecosystem across industries. -
-
-And while the ThreeFold Foundation is currently the driving force behind the ThreeFold Movement, we believe in **decentralization**. We have open channels like [a forum](https://forum.threefold.io), [a two-way Telegram chat](https://t.me/threefold), Github ([Foundation](https://github.com/threefoldfoundation) & [Tech](https://github.com/threefoldtech/)), and [Twitter](https://twitter.com/threefold_io), where people can and do contribute, ask questions and provide feedback that goes into our everyday decision-making and actions. -
-
-As I said at the start, you've dreamt of a different world. And so have I. John Lennon once said, "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." Thank you for dreaming with us. Together, this will happen! -

So, are they really delivering on their promise of decentralization? - -## A decentralized world needs a decentralized foundation - -I think we’ve already come to Consensus that decentralization has to start at the foundational level. See what I did there? The ThreeFold co-founders have more than 20 years of experience in setting world records in Internet storage and cloud automation technologies. With ThreeFold, they started from scratch to build a fully decentralized Internet infrastructure that’s peer-to-peer and open source. We’re realizing the promise of an Internet built and owned by the people, back to the vision of Web 1 through the implementation of Web 4 technology. For us, it’s obvious that we simply cannot build a fair and equal digital world on top of today's old-world infrastructure which is owned by the few. - -
- -With our fair, inclusive and decentralized Internet infrastructure, we’re laying the foundation for a better world. Following our ethos of *planet first – people second – profit (value) only as a result*, we’re striving to regenerate our planet and to empower the collective – the many and not the few. By putting our planet and people first, we create real sustainable value. We believe that, together, we’re strong enough to build new regenerative systems powerful enough to enable anyone to have a sovereign, safer and more fulfilling life. - -
- -As of today, people from 77 countries are connecting thousands of computers (3Nodes) to the ThreeFold Grid – all contributing to ThreeFold’s open-source peer-to-peer Internet infrastructure.

There is no other project or technology out there like ThreeFold, no one nearly as far along as we are. Our co-founders have decades of experience (and success) in the Internet and Cloud space. They and the team developed a new Internet infrastructure from the ground up, including a [stateless operating system](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__zos) based on the Linux kernel, which is quite a significant accomplishment. - -
- -Today, we have the biggest network of decentralized storage, compute, and network on the planet. The technology is in its third generation, functional and ready for utilization, even commercially. The [ThreeFold Playground](https://play.grid.tf) provides a sandbox of limitless opportunities for open-source builders – developers can (and are) now build(ing) and monetize(ing) projects built on the grid. - -
- -Hopefully you’ve been following along lately with community calls and all of our updates to see the [major progress that was made in 2022](https://forum.threefold.io/t/end-of-year-2022-community-call-recording/3636). The technology took major strides, the grid nearly doubled, the community got way more active, and there are some partnerships in the works with huge reach where we can make big impact. - -
- -Of course the token price is low and this is less than ideal to say the least, especially for farmers who are running hardware and weary of costs – although a power savings feature is coming! But the token is built on strong fundamentals and our efforts are focused on creating a [balanced and sustainable token economy](https://forum.threefold.io/t/a-new-financial-system-is-needed-for-a-better-future/3547) for the long-term. - -## ThreeFold Tomorrow - -In the coming days we’ll be announcing a super exciting project (ThreeFold Grid Services) from the ThreeFold team with the following purpose: - -
- -_To prove that the current state of the ThreeFold Grid is enough on top of which to start an end-user facing commercial business. We will release a suite of grid services with fiat gateways and we will also create content that explains in steps how to use the technical building blocks to put it all together to create your own solution / service._ - -
- -Within Q1 we also aim to expose one or several partnerships with the potential to impact millions of people in emerging / developing countries. - -
- -We have ThreeFold Ventures coming as well, different businesses or arms of ThreeFold including OurPhone that create a holistic ecosystem for a more fair and equal world. - -
- -Then there’s the [Internet of Internets](https://threefold.io/blog/internet-of-internets/) (Regional Internet) model which will come to life this year, and [Digital Twin](https://www.threefold.io/blog/digital-twin/). And more – this is not comprehensive – but you get the picture. - -## ThreeFold Beyond - -ThreeFold is the foundation for people around the world to live in true digital sovereignty, for people who today do not have affordable access to education, communication, and financial tools to gain access. ThreeFold can impact industries from Internet to banking to education to supply chain and more. The possibilities are really limitless, let your imagine run wild. ThreeFold can change the world. - -## Our Future Is up to All of Us - -I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again (and again) … A decentralized movement is all about decentralized action and participation. And participation comes in all shapes and sizes. Together, we all need to act and push this into the world. Everyone in this community is empowered to help the project succeed though their own initiatives. The team is of course happy to offer support through technical help and even token grants. ThreeFold will be a success if people continue to choose to believe it is important and dedicate their energy towards it. - -
- -ThreeFold can and needs to be a complete, end-to-end decentralized ecosystem empowering all its members to build and create. We have everything we need, and if we don’t, let’s solve it. Most importantly, we have each other. Let’s do this. - -

- -As a result of the acquisition and a series of events thereafter, millions of Twitter users have started looking for a replacement, with more than one million people flocking to the leading decentralized Twitter alternative, Mastodon, over the past two weeks. - -
- -![mastodon_users](./mastodon_users.png) - -
- -This is not the first time we’ve seen the alarm bells ring, a mass exodus from a top social networking site or communication platform. (And by the way, it won’t be the last.) As an example, last year after WhatsApp announced some changes to its terms of service, tens of millions of new accounts were created on Signal and Telegram. And earlier this year, Facebook reported a loss in daily active users. - -
- -The reality is that most platforms are owned & controlled by the few. And it actually goes further than just platforms: the way the infrastructure of the current internet model is built, its foundational layers, are controlled by the few as well. Think about it, as ‘users’ of platforms, browsers, websites, etc., we have become the product, or rather, our data has become the product. - -
- -Targeted advertising, cookies, geo-localisation. Agenda setting might have been ignited in the newspaper industry hundreds of years ago, but it definitely reached the Internet. When you search for something on the web, through most browsers & platforms, the outcomes you get are the result of an agenda setting. This means that a few decide which information is more important than the other. Often, this decision is subjective, and influenced by the highest bids to get on top of the list. - -
- -What’s happening with Twitter is just the latest warning of the dangers of the centralized Internet, and the fact that people are leaving is the latest signal that the world is increasingly ready for a decentralized digital world. People aren’t just boycotting social media, they are leaving to go somewhere else considered ‘better’. They are migrating to Mastodon. - -
- -## What makes Mastodon a viable alternative to Twitter? - -Mastodon has a lot of the same functionalities as Twitter, such as replies, retweets, favorites, bookmarks and hash tags. However, it is not owned or operated by any one organization. Instead, it’s made up of lots of different servers (also called “instances”), all talking to one another. The service describes itself as a “federated network which operates in a similar way to email.” And as it is open source, Mastodon allows for anyone to download, modify, & install Mastodon on their own servers. Pretty nifty, right? - -
- -![mastodon](./mastodon.png) - -
- -Mastodon was created in 2016 by German software developer Eugen Rochko. Unlike most popular social media sites, like Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, Mastodon is a nonprofit. As such, its goal is to benefit the public rather than shareholders. Twitter has built up a reputation for being the “watercooler of the world”. While it would be quite a task for Mastodon to replicate that feat at scale, many people might prefer the latter for a number of reasons, like: - -
- -- Control over your timeline: No algorithm dictating what you’ll see – and no advertisements - -- Not for Sale: “We will never serve ads or push profiles for you to see. That means your data and your time are yours and yours alone.” - Mastodon - -- Freedom of moderation: Individual communities may create their own content guidelines, offering a variety of different user experiences. Join a server with the rules you agree with, or host your own! - -- Decentralization: Each Mastodon server is a completely independent entity, able to interoperate with others to form one global social network. Anybody can deploy Mastodon on their own infrastructure, under no third-party control. - -- Open Source: Mastodon believes in the right to use, copy, study and change Mastodon as one sees fit, since everyone benefits from contributions from the community. - -- Interoperable: Built on open web protocols, Mastodon can speak with any other platform that implements ActivityPub. With one account, users get access to a whole universe of social apps—the Fediverse. - -
- -## How do Mastodon & ThreeFold Align? - -What is happening with Twitter is a reflection of the entire Internet model. Now, more and more people are opening their eyes to the shared fundamentals of decentralization and open source, which are paradigms shared by ThreeFold & Mastodon. - -
- -In a world where centralization is the default way of operating, we tend to be relatively oblivious to what it entails. Being part of a centralized Internet ultimately makes us dependent on the relative few that dictate our digital lives. By moving away, through decentralization, we can take control of our digital lives again. - -
- -![twitter_vs_internet](./twitter_vs_internet.png) - -
- -Mastodon and the whole Fediverse have already attracted incredible communities with similar values and mindsets as that of ThreeFold and our community. Everyone joining Mastodon is looking for decentralization – whether they know it or not. Really, this mass exodus from Twitter is more proof (a la people leaving Facebook in droves or moving from WhatsApp to other messaging tools) that the world is increasingly ready for decentralization and what ThreeFold enables. - -
- -Leaving Twitter for Mastodon is a step in the right direction, but if you are really alarmed by what has been happening with this Twitter saga, we are here to invite you to take action and be a part of a better Internet system. We can build this together! - -
- -## How can ThreeFold support Mastodon? - -ThreeFold provides a reliable decentralized infrastructure that Mastodon and the rest of the platforms within the Fediverse need, and we believe that those communities will be very interested in our broader vision as well. - -
- -The ThreeFold Movement is collectively building an Internet by the people for the people, from the infrastructure level up to the experiences. You can plug in hardware, join the ThreeFold Grid, and provide decentralized Internet capacity for the communities around you. - -
- -**ThreeFold offers three main solutions to the growing Mastodon community:** - -
- -1. **Deployment**: ThreeFold is making it very easy for anyone and everyone to create their own server through the ThreeFold Playground, so they are in full control. And it’s on decentralized infrastructure. - -2. **True Co-Ownership**: We’ll make it possible to co-own communities via smart contract, so if some nodes leave or go offline, the server is still viable. So any group of people can chip in some money and co-own your own Mastodon server. By creating your own community, as of Grid 3.8, you will also be able to ask people for contributions in order to operate the server, etc. And you can set and maintain your own moderation standards. - -3. **More Flexible (Secure) Login**: Lastly, we’re going to focus on authentication. Today it’s only email based, which means it’s easy for people to hide. ThreeFold could enable different verification options – email-based, TF Connect, and even TF Connect + KYC. So each server can have their own standards. - -
- -## What is ThreeFold already doing to make this happen? - -- Currently the team is working on an easy-to-deploy weblet so that anybody can easily launch their own instance of Mastodon running on top of the ThreeFold Grid. - -- Creating a plan for people to be able to [deploy their own Mastodon servers](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-to-deploy-mastadon-on-the-threefold-grid-today/3487) for free. - -- Building a website re: Mastodon + ThreeFold. - -- Reached out to the Mastodon team (We have done this officially, but we can do more of it from more angles). - -- Creating plenty of content on the [forum](https://forum.threefold.io/c/threefold-grid-utilization/fediverse/113) (e.g. open letter to Mastodon community), posting on social media, finding and engaging with public conversations about Mastodon on Twitter (something we can all do). - -- We held a Community Call around Mastodon & the Fediverse to discuss in further details what has been mentioned in this blog.

- -The ThreeFold Foundation is changing the way how "we" as a whole approach the internet and its underlying technology. We believe building the internet back from the ground up is the only way to dismantle the monster it has grown into – a polluting greed-machine that allows people’s data to be abused for money all while just being accessible to just half of the earth’s inhabitants. -
-
-And the best part is, you can have a part in the global shift towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and respectful internet by becoming a ThreeFold Farmer. -
-
- -## So what are farmers? - -Simply put: Farmers are people that add capacity to the ThreeFold Grid for anyone to use. - -## What is this "capacity"? - -Capacity is the raw building blocks needed for any internet grid: CPU (processors), Hard Drives, Solid-state drives, memory, etc. Capacity can then be rented by developers and engineers that would like to run their applications on the ThreeFold Grid. - -## What is in it for me? - -As mentioned in the previous paragraph, capacity is rented. This means people that put capacity on the ThreeFold Grid are getting paid by anybody that uses their capacity. But there is more, ThreeFold also incentivizes farmers to add capacity by giving them tokens simply for adding the capacity to the ThreeFold Grid. The amount they receive depends on the specifications of the capacity they put online (how much, how powerful, etc). These tokens are then gradually released over the course of 60 months. So in short, you get paid to do this. - -## What else? - -Capacity for the ThreeFold Grid can be added in all shapes and sizes. It could be a small box no larger than a modem that you put in your office or home, or could be a fully-fledged data center node. The idea is that the grid becomes spread out as much as it can be, as this has some huge benefits for all users and the environment. -
-
- -1. Less power waste: Less energy is needed to cool all these smaller nodes that are far away from each other, than putting the same resources in a giant room together and having them sit on top off, and beside each other (this is what happens now in large scale data centers). - -2. Less bandwidth waste: The closer the capacity is to the end-user, the less unnecessary miles it has to travel. (e.g. a text message in a messaging app might travel from the Netherlands to a data center in America to then forward it to the person living down the street). When concentrating on decentralization and having nodes everywhere in the world this problem resolves itself. And data will take the shortest route possible. - -3. More Privacy: This decentralized approach makes it so that there is no "all-seeing eye" within the network – unlike the current setup where tech giants basically own all their users’ data by putting it in their own data centers. - -4. More Accessibility: Due to the fact that these resources can be added in small form-factors, it makes it possible to now put internet resources anywhere in the world where there’s a network to plug into (cables in the ground). And this makes it that now people that have limited-to-no funds have access to what the UN declared a human right: the internet. ut more than that, education, connection, entertainment, all the internet brought the western world over the past decade. -

-
-- Equality is the foundation for a fair world where everyone is given the opportunity to be empowered and to achieve their full potential. -- Freedom of thought, opinion, creativity and faith are fundamentals to achieve peace and fulfillment of humankind’s potential. -- Sustainability ensures the future of life on earth.

-
-Let’s take a deeper look. - -### Internet Access | A Human Right - -In 2016, the United Nations officially declared Internet access to be a human right. The right to internet access aims to protect people’s freedom of expression and opinion, as well as other fundamentals such as access to knowledge and information. -
-
-Yet as of today, about 48% of humanity remains unconnected to the Internet, creating huge inequalities in the access to information and knowledge. It is important that the right steps are taken to improve the relationship between governments and citizens and to uphold all human rights. -
-
-To make the new internet accessible and equal to all, ThreeFold built with ThreeFold Farmers an infrastructure that is affordable to all and collectively owned by the network peers. To ensure a fair and equal distribution of the internet to everyone, fully sponsored capacity will be deployed in remote regions of our world. - -### Digital Freedom | For Everyone - -The Internet evolved to become the world’s largest database of information and knowledge, opening up exponential growth on personal, organizational and economic levels. Yet it is owned by large international companies that exploits users data. -
-
-The current approach of many governments and countries is to cut the Internet into pieces by limiting its accessibility and enforcing regulations. We need an internet that protects our digital freedom and fair access to global information for everyone, everywhere. -
-
-ThreeFold is a peer-to-peer internet — owned by the users. All the technology of this new internet is open-source and the whole experience is built around the fundamentals of a peer-to-peer network. On this new internet, everyone owns their data and experiences — digital freedom. - -### A Green Internet | For Our Planet - -The current internet consumes about 10% of global energy production. With the imminent boom of emerging technologies such as Blockchain, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence and 5G, the Internet’s energy consumption is expected to increase exponentially. -
-
-The current industry solutions focuses on increasing the use of renewable energies to power data centers. However this is not a viable solution as data centers consume enormous amounts of energy. Therefore, a new solution that can drastically reduce the global internet’s energy consumption is needed. -
-
-ThreeFold is the first true peer-to-peer Internet. It uses pioneering technologies that remove the need for centralized and power-hungry data centers, consumes 90% less energy, and uses 90% less international fibre network capacity. -

Applications need a specific environment to operate in, built by integrating different technology components from different vendors. Elements of such a setup are operating systems, storage systems, networks, security systems, authentication systems, and more. -
-
-Putting components together is called (system) integration, and integration requires agreement on how these components will fit together and the knowledge to do it. -
-
-This complexity and need for integration originate from the way the IT industry historically developed. With time more and more layers appeared to bring new possibilities. Additional layers masked existing problems. Instead of fixing the underlying issues, several third parties needed to be involved, adding complexity and increased costs (such as license costs, upgrades, updates, etc.). Complexity has become a business model. - -## Where can we get inspiration to do it a different way? - -What if we could build IT architectures in a different way. What if we would not accept component solution approaches anymore and start over with a completely blank sheet of paper? Would we then come up with a different way of actually building automation, architectures, and business models? - -### Looking at nature for inspiration - -Let's start by looking for inspiration in nature. Suppose we consider IT systems to be a complex system. Are there parallels that we can draw between systems that exist in nature (and have evolved and improved over thousands of years) and those within the IT industry? -
-
-In nature, we see two kinds of systems (societies): centralized and decentralized systems. Examples of centralized systems are herds, groups, or schools of animals living together where there is a hierarchy in the way they organize themselves. For decentralized systems, we can look at beehives and anthills. Organizing efforts and benefits are distinct and come at a different cost. - -### Centralized systems in nature - -In centralized systems, there is governance of activities, wealth positions, and so forth. Think of a group of lions or chimpanzees. There is always an alpha male who is dominant in the whole group. He is the only that enjoys all of the benefits because the entire group/structure works towards his wishes. He gets to mate with most female group members because the system believes that he has the strongest genes to help the group to survive in the future. The dominant male also gets most of the food gathered by the group, and if he doesn't get it, he will claim it by showing his dominance and fight for it. All the others are working towards this alpha male, and all the other males in the group will occasionally challenge the alpha male for dominance. -
-
-This is very similar to how the IT industry has been operating to date: there are a few alpha males in the industry - one for each sector that can be recognized (for example, in the Cloud Industry, you have Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and on the system integration front you have Dell, Siemens, CA Technologies). They end up with the majority of businesses available in their specific markets. When challenged by new companies, they fight them (in every way possible, including killing them or acquiring them). And in analogy to the animal group, these alpha male companies have a lot of organizations that work with them, usually called "partners" or "channels." - -### Decentralized systems in nature - -For decentralized systems on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralised_system), we learn; "One of the most well-known examples of a "natural" decentralized system is one used by insect colonies such as Ants. In these insect colonies, control is distributed among the biological agents who act upon local information and local interactions to create complex and universal behavior collectively. While individually exhibiting simple behaviors, these agents achieve universal goals such as feeding the colony or raising the brood using dynamical mechanisms like non-explicit communication and exploiting their closely coupled action and perception systems. Without any form of central authority, these insect colonies achieve their universal goals by performing required tasks and by responding to changing conditions in their external environment. They also adjust the number of workers performing each task to ensure the completion of all tasks. For example, ant colonies guide their global behavior (in terms of foraging, patrolling, brood care, and nest maintenance) using a pulsing, shifting web of Spatio-temporal patterned interactions that rely on antennal contact rate and olfactory sensing. While these interactions consist of both interactions with the environment and each other, ants do not direct the behavior of other ants. They thus never have a "central controller" dictating what is to be done to achieve global goals." -
-
-So nature has provided us with solid examples of centralized and decentralized systems. For much of what works in the modern world, we have ended up using the centralized model governing enterprises and countries. Various industries have also adopted the centralized model where there is a pyramid structure, and everything works towards the alpha males. - -## A different approach to creating and operating IT workloads - -What if we can develop a new concept for creating, deploying, and operating IT workloads. What if we say goodbye to the centralized way of controlling IT workloads. Can we develop an idea that works in a decentralized way? - -### The concept - -To build this concept, we will draw the use of the human way of operating a large ship. The crew of a vessel has different roles, which we will call the *coordinators*. Some of these coordinators could be a captain, officers, engineers, and oilers. These coordinators have in-depth knowledge of their specific tasks but usually lack a detailed understanding of the other roles. In the "hive" of a ship, the specific requests to get tasks done are sent to coordinators who will receive, interpret, execute their particular tasks, and report the (non-) progress of these tasks or subtasks. For example, the captain will create and agree to a schedule of maintenance tasks for the engine room. These are daily, weekly and monthly tasks that should be completed by the engineers and oilers. The engineers and oilers do not get continuous input from the captain. They get one instruction to follow the schedule and know what needs to be done for every task. The intermediate state (what is complete and what still needs to be addressed) is stored by the coordinators executing the tasks. This is the most efficient way of accomplishing tasks. - -### Jumping to the IT industry - -If we bring this concept to the IT world, we conclude that today's IT systems are built in a significantly different way. Most architectures (if not all) have a central facility that stores *all* information and *all* states of activity in a so-called central 'database.' A general norm within IT. However, these types of architectures are inefficient and are very complex - like the ship analogy - a central command room (database) is created where every coordinator needs to report back. (1) The current level of activity, (2) the completion (state) of tasks, (3) the proper understanding of upcoming tasks by the coordinator to accomplish tasks in-progress or future - hence leading to the undesirable outcome of complexity due to centralization. -
-
-In the ship example, we deem this type of functioning/workflow inefficient; however, in the IT world, it is a common way of doing it. Furthermore, IT infrastructures usually have different databases to store "state" in different parts of the IT architecture. The analogy would translate to different command rooms that orchestrate different functions on the ship in our ship. This, in turn, introduces the need for another role in starting coordinating between the different command rooms to ensure that all information is shared and communicated. Taking this pattern forward leads to an endless loop of adding interfaces, layers, bridges between different parts of the system that all store information, multiple times, and in different ways. - -### Datastores - -By design, a decentralized IT architecture should not use centralized data storage (databases) for multiple tasks (roles). It instead should feature a similar approach to the way of functioning as in the 'ship' example. In this architecture, roles get short and precise instructions of the jobs to be completed and autonomously execute. We call these execution engines *coordinators*. Coordinators receive instructions, run on instructions and store all information about the current task *locally.* They store all the relevant information in a local storage facility (available to the individual coordinators only) and provide information about the state of execution if and when other coordinators ask for a state update. - -## Magical Coordinator - -### Requirements to let actor based management work -
-
-* Less complexity - -* State only with the actor itself (no-where else !!!) - -* Understood language between actors - -* Process = recipes of a cook, NOT IN A DB -
-
- -## Actor based IT solutions - -To simplify common IT architectures, we should look at a new way of creating such a system that takes the current standards into account: -
-
-* No people involved in integrating different components into a single solution - - * Which, as a consequence, means no revenue generation based on creating and managing complexity. - -* No central state / operational data storage - -* Individual automated actors with specific knowledge for specific tasks - -* Independent operating actors completing specific tasks -
-
-Such a system should ideally be owned by many (not just a single organization, bringing centralization back into the equations) that operate IT tasks for many. We have not seen such a system in existence, but we are as TFTech building and rolling out technology that can do this. -
-
-We believe that IT's future is in decentralization where specific coordinators (bots) will roam a network of capacity looking for a task to do, making themselves available where needed, creating more of them when the system grows, and allowing the global population to deploy and operate IT workloads. diff --git a/content/blogarchive/zero_people_IT_is_the_future/zero_people.png b/content/blogarchive/zero_people_IT_is_the_future/zero_people.png deleted file mode 100644 index deee6179b..000000000 Binary files a/content/blogarchive/zero_people_IT_is_the_future/zero_people.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/careers/grid-development-manager/index.md b/content/careers/grid-development-manager/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index c0ae7bac8..000000000 --- a/content/careers/grid-development-manager/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,80 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: "ThreeFold Grid Developer Lead" -template: "jobPage.html" - -extra: - button : Explore Other Developer Components - link : /developer ---- - -We are looking for a DevOps Lead with strong technical expertise and decent years of experience to join our organization.

-
-Powered by ThreeFold’s Open Source Technology, the ThreeFold Grid enables anyone to join the Internet and Cloud economy, and it allows any IT workloads that can run on Linux to benefit from a peer-to-peer infrastructure. -
-
-By using the ThreeFold Grid, developers can create websites, enterprise IT systems and store any files using the world's favourite tools and protocols such as Kubernetes and S3, and disperse their data and workloads across a decentralized cloud infrastructure. -
-
-For example, the ThreeFold Grid hosts its software within an unbreakable tamper proof environment, enabling systems to be developed and run without any firewalls, VPNs and security threats. It's peer-to-peer nature allows interoperability between a vast array of systems and removes the need of any intermediaries to allow people and organizations to build their own private and secure infrastructure. This allows the ThreeFold Grid to host developing environments that are completely self-contained and free from all security challenges found in today's cloud landscape. In a way, it flips the data center model upside down and eliminates all the exorbitant complexity, high cost and unsustainable models of IT. -
-
-The increased monopolisation of the Internet and Cloud by the big tech corporations of our world is threatening the neutrality of today's internet. Censorship, data collection and manipulation is already very present. People are being turned into products of a big AI machine. The ThreeFold Grid allows for a peer-to-peer (owned by all of us) and autonomous (no humans involved in the system) Internet that would decentralize the ownership and secure the neutrality of the Internet. -

-
-An alternative to consensus mechanisms are peer-to-peer systems. While offering many similar benefits they are quite different in their design. -
-
-Crypto networks are internet-based networks, they use consensus mechanisms such as blockchains and cryptocurrencies (or tokens), which in turn incentivize the participants of said consensus (miners or delegates). While ThreeFold does use a blockchain and has it's own digital currency, instead of focusing on building a network that would be governed by everyone, it enables everyone to have their own governance mechanism. Every person or organization benefits from it's own private and secure environment on the ThreeFold Grid. -
-
-For instance, on the ThreeFold Grid, every user is able to store, run and access data and wokloads via their private key. When hosting data and workloads, a smart contract is created and stored in ThreeFold's blockchain database, which will then operate and execute their private environment via Threefold's autonomous technology. This provides a fully sovereign infrastructure model. -

-The amount of TFT farmed by a 3Node depends on the compute and storage capacity made available to the ThreeFold Grid. -

- -There are three forms of rewards in ThreeFold's Farming model with Grid 3.0 launched in Q3 2021: -* **Farming Rewards:** Once booted by ThreeFold’s operating system, the 3Node’s Internet capacity will be verified and added to the network. Farmers earn TFT monthly for keeping the capacity online. -* **Cultivation Rewards:** When users reserve capacity on the ThreeFold Grid to store their data or run their applications. -
-
- -The reward mechanism for cultivation goes as follows: -- 10% of the utilization fee is rewarded to Farmers. -- 25% gets burnt to ensure scarcity of TFT in the new Internet economy. -- 5% goes to the Foundation for promotional purposes. -- 60% is used to reward the sales channels, incentivizing direct or indirect sales agents to promote the usage of the Threefold Grid capacity. -

-
-ThreeFold's farming model has a very different and simple approach. -
-
-ThreeFold's farming model uses Proof-of-Capacity (PoC) which is more efficient than Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanisms. PoS is as of today the most energy efficient protocol since it barely requires any CPU time, the only energy needed to keep the validator connected to the network is enough disk space to hold the blockchain and the system. But on ThreeFold you don't need any validator to secure the chain as PoC is only used as a token distribution mechanism. -
-
-All that is needed for PoC is enough disk space to host ThreeFold's unique operating system - Zero-OS. The capacity provided by the 3Node is automatically detected and verified by Zero-OS and stored in the Blockchain Database, making it available to the ThreeFold Grid. The Zero-OS is super-lightweight, weighing 200MB, making it incredibly efficient. We can expect ThreeFold's Farming model to be up-to 10,000x more efficient than Bitcoin mining and 10x more efficient than any PoS protocol. diff --git a/content/farmfaq/q8/index.md b/content/farmfaq/q8/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 2b08f9288..000000000 --- a/content/farmfaq/q8/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,22 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: farmq8 -title: Should I as a farmer sell my own capacity, or is ThreeFold doing that? ---- - -To promote the utilization of the ThreeFold Grid's Internet capacity, we created a mechanism that is called "cultivation". -

+ Is this a separate new Internet? + No, ThreeFold is a complementary Internet and works alongside the current Internet. It allows you to continue accessing and interacting with the current Internet while offering additional capabilities. +
+
+ +
+ Why do we need a new internet? + The Internet has become fragile and overly centralized. Issues like authenticity, privacy, security, and sustainability necessitate a fundamental new approach to rebuild its foundation. +
+
+ +
+ This seems to big to be true. Is this real? + For over 30 years, we’ve worked toward this vision. ThreeFold is the culmination of our journey, offering a fully operational product and a growing community of users, farmers, and partners. This is real and we are here to stay. +
+
+ +
+ You have two tokens, TFT and INCA, why? + TFT is our token which was used to build generation 1, 2 and 3 of the ThreeFold Grid of capacity. TFT is the reward for our loyal community. There can never be more than 1 billion TFT. We are now building generation 4 of the ThreeFold Grid of capacity and we need a new token to build this new generation. There will never be more than 3 billion INCA. Our partners will start selling new ThreeFold Nodes end Nov 2024 with a new reward scheme and ready to grow to millions of nodes. +
+
+ +
+ How can I participate? + You can participate by becoming a farmer, a user, a partner or by developing a web4 app. Provide capacity to the ThreeFold Grid, Use capacity, build solutions, develop applications for Web4, and many more. +
+
+ +
+ What is Web4? + Web4 is our evolution towards a decentralized, user-controlled, and secure Internet that respects privacy and minimizes environmental impact. +
+
+ +
+ Is this another blockchain? + No, we are NOT blockchain. We are using our own technology: Zero State technology combined with Quantum Safe Internetworking. +

How can we get 3nodes faster here in the US?*** - -*Commercialization means that there will be much more utilization, and this will lead to more rewards. This means that farmers will also need to meet certain standards related to reliability for commercial-level workloads.* - -*Regarding getting 3Nodes faster in the US, for now, we recommend reaching out to existing vendors on this topic. Anyone can apply to become a vendor and ship in the US, and we expect that, as the project grows, more vendors will come on board.* - -
- -***Note***: We still need to discuss how the certified node program might change in v4. - -
- -***Can you guarantee that there will never be more than 1B Tokens in the future or can your opinion change later?*** - -*We can guarantee that there will never be more than 1B TFT on the Stellar Blockchain.* - -
- -***We shall move to the new Farmerbot, but it is still possible to run the old one, right?*** - -*You can run the old Farmerbot, but our recommendation is to update at the earliest as there have been a lot of new features that you wouldn’t see in the old one. Most importantly the old Farmerbot did have a few bugs that were fixed in the new version. So please update as soon as possible.* - -

This Digital Free Zone project is part of the Government of Zanzibar’s wider initiative to shift its economy from being largely dependent on tourism to embracing other sectors, namely IT. - -
- -The collaboration was formally announced by Zanzibar’s President, Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, at ThreeFold’s Africa Regenerative Future Summit in July 2023 which brought together a group of passionate entrepreneurs and actors working on innovative planet-first projects in Africa. The President promised to establish the Digital Free Zone from a regulatory perspective, with the goal of developing local skills, bringing about major changes in the ICT sector, and creating job opportunities to increase the nation’s income. See his announcement in the video below. - -
- -As the world’s first Digital Free Zone, this special economic zone will be powered by ThreeFold’s innovative tech stack, operating as the digital backbone for this innovative policy sandbox. ThreeFold’s latest technology, which is currently being fine tuned, the Digital Twin, will be launched as part of the Free Zone membership. The Digital Free Zone (DFZ) Digital Twin application provides a centralized interface for accessing all free zone features and users will own 100% of the data and digital capabilities. Merging traditional business structures with groundbreaking technology, the free zone will be a pioneering hub for business, fostering an ecosystem that is adaptive, resilient, and conducive to growth. It will be one of the first environments where Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) can be legally established and operated. Some of the ThreeFold team is based in Zanzibar and working to make the Free Zone live by the end of 2024. You can be among the first to embark on the OurWorld Digital Free Zone journey - explore more [here](https://freezone.ourworld.tf/). - -
- -This new and exciting partnership between ThreeFold, ZICTIA, and the Zanzibar Government also aims to improve the internet for the entire island using ThreeFold technology. This future project will allow Zanzibar to establish its own autonomous and sovereign internet, empowering citizens to take back control of their data and digital lives. ThreeFold technology also serves as a foundation on which a wide array of impactful projects can be hosted on top of. This partnership is therefore also focused on exploring incubation opportunities on the island to support local communities and entrepreneurs to create their own projects and digital solutions. The goal is to create a sovereign internet created for Zanzibar by Zanzibar. - -

When going through the history of humanity, it is clear that Art played a major role in shaping the most advanced civilizations of humankind, across eras. Art is a proven tool to inspire faith and elevate cultural growth, while bringing a new perspectives about our reality. Today, studies show that there is a positive correlation between schoolchildren's grades in math and literacy, and their involvement with drama or music activities. Also, art brings people together and gives people a chance to be part of a community. Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences across space and time. Research has shown art affects the fundamental sense of self. Therefore we believe that free global access to art and culture is a prerequisite for a development of human kind. - -

- -## About - -At CICOLAB (Collective Intelligence Collaboratory), we know that by combining the right mix of diverse voices, simple tools, and methods that really work – such as better profiling methods, mapping, collaborative editing, peer learning, and Rapid Sensemaking – we can create the conditions where paradigm-shifters in multiple fields can better collaborate. In these ways we can better find each other, communicate more easily about what we are working on, and learn about tools and techniques to co-create, co-work and co-produce more effectively. - -
- - - -
- - -### The Problem - -Arguably, our planet depends upon humans figuring out how to get together and make good decisions together. But we don’t yet have the social frameworks or technology to effectively collaborate – we don’t flow as we grow – and we may be “running out of time” much more quickly than most of us realize. -
-
-Generally when we try collaborating between more than three people, we struggle to overcome many barriers. These include using various messaging or collaboration tools (Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, etc.) which – by design – do not inter-operate. -
-
-New social operating systems have little insight or grounding in decentralized collective decision-making without top-down power structures. Even when people do manage to raise collaborative processes off the ground, projects often crash in flames. - -### The Solution - -CICOLAB brings together thought leaders and experts from diverse areas of collective intelligence to figure out how we might work, build and learn together, better and faster. -We host and moderate online events for people with projects, initiatives and organizations which may overlap in surprising and synergistic ways. Through conversation we can meet each other and form deeper relationships. -
-
-While everyone is working on very different projects, we are all striving to create better conditions for decision-making, knowledge sharing, and highlighting flows of valuable information which may be invisible. CICOLAB cultivates an extensive “knowledge garden” i.e. database of interviews and round table discussions, plus maps and other visuals showing (a) various core aspects of collective intelligence, (b) who is working on what, and (c) their actual or possible relationships. - -### The Process: - -We design easy ways to generate “Deep Profiles,” videos and short texts that capture an individual’s role within a group plus the group’s role within a network. Then it’s much easier to know who is doing what and who has which talents or interests. The Deep Profile lets one’s reputation emerge naturally without creating a top-heavy or dystopian “reputation system.” -
-
-CICOLAB is at the crossroads of many different networks. Our prolific network weaving is driven by purpose, creativity and fun. Increasingly we include groups of many cultures speaking many languages. -
-
-We host discussions and process them thoroughly (generating transcripts, summary notes, and graphic art) to leave behind “knowledge trails” for anyone to follow. - -## Mission - -CICOLAB brings together visionaries from diverse fields to develop simple, practical ways to amplify network intelligence. - -## Impact - -We create, collect and apply effective, accessible tools and methods to make groups smarter. Our approach is to allow the communication of projects, ideas and people to be easier and better so network members can find, align and collaborate with each other. - -## Powered by ThreeFold - -We can help people, projects and companies “Powered by ThreeFold” to find their “soul mates” (i.e. ideal partners) around the world by developing a dynamic, scalable onboarding system that helps network members find their place in the ecosystem and better convey their needs and offers. -
-
-We’re also developing innovative gaming methods to assess risk and minimize mis- or disinformation (aka “Crap Detection”). Thus the ThreeFold network can remain safe, healthy and vibrant, and protect itself from toxic patterns of abuse that have destroyed other coalitions. - - - diff --git a/content/oldpartners/cloud_28/index.md b/content/oldpartners/cloud_28/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 1db7195d6..000000000 --- a/content/oldpartners/cloud_28/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,39 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: cloud_28 -title: Cloud 28+ -description: Cloud 28+ is the world's largest independent community promoting cloud service and knowledge sharing. -template: partnerPage.html -taxonomies: - partners-category: [] - tags: [technology] -extra: - countries: [] - cities: [] - rank: 3 - imgPath: images/cloud28plus.png - image_caption: cloud_28 - partner_logo: images/cloud_28Logo.png - members: [] - websites: https://cloud28plus.com - private: 0 - linkedin: '' ---- - -

We are building circular and fully self-sufficient homes that make housing construction affordable and sustainable without compromising on quality. All of the construction materials are second hand and refurbished for a new life. - -
- - - -
- -## Mission - -Crystal Home is building circular & self-sufficient homes reducing the CO2 footprint and the waste flow of the construction industry. And by doing this project we also can provide many people affordable housing in a sustainable way. - -## Impact - -The linear “take, make, waste” economic model is reaching its limits. The environment simply does not have the capacity to sustain it anymore. A circular approach creates an economy that’s both sustainable and profitable. -
-
-We use the city as our source. All our materials are carefully harvested and refurbished to new standards by our partner-companies, ready for a second life. Example of the structures of our homes: Currently, there are 17 million shipping containers across the globe. Of those 17 million containers, however, only six million are actually being used for transport or any other practical usage. That means approximately 11 million shipping containers are unused and are just sitting stagnant all over the world. To reduce that amount is one of the main reasons we use them as our basic structure for the house. - -## Powered by ThreeFold - -Each crystal home can be equipped with its very own node, meaning each new home adds capacity to the more equal, fair, and sustainable ThreeFold peer-to-peer internet. This provides conscious connectivity to the crystal home owners and their surrounding areas. - -## Join saving our planet! - -Today’s challenges require bold and imaginative leaps into the future.

- -## About - -It started out, like many things at [Manas.Tech](https://manas.tech/), as an experiment. Easy-to-write languages used to mean that you had to sacrifice speed. And getting fast meant enduring difficult syntax. So it began with asking ourselves: “What if we didn’t have to choose one or the other”, “what if we could compile Ruby?”. It turned out that it worked, so we decided to turn that experiment into an actual project and give it our best shot. It is our pride and joy: time and time again, we find that it is delightful to write code in Crystal, and that it outperforms everything else out there. - -
- - - -
- -## Mission - -Easy to write languages used to mean that you had to sacrifice speed. And getting fast meant enduring difficult syntax. Crystal means no longer having to choose: a programming language that adjusts to the needs of the programmer and the computer: easy to learn and code, but very performant and typesafe. The best of both worlds. - -## Impact - -Crystal is easy to write, which makes it easy to learn: that gives developers a short ramp-up time, and beginners can get things running in a very short time. Crystal is also super fast: it is used by scientists to run genome sequencing faster than ever before, and that helps save lives, save resources and, being so user-friendly, it saves them time in costly and tedious maintenance. - -## Powered by ThreeFold - -Crystal is a project of Manas.Tech, built along the years with the support of the community and Manas’ own: we match the contributions of the community to double every dollar’s impact. But it means that a great deal of effort goes, not only into developing the language, but also into trying to get funding. ThreeFold’s contribution allows our team to focus on doing what we do best, and enables us to dedicate more full-time engineers to accelerate Crystal’s development. - -## Join saving our planet! - -You can join our mission to build better technology for the future, by becoming a direct sponsor of Crystal. - - diff --git a/content/oldpartners/crystal_twin/index.md b/content/oldpartners/crystal_twin/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index e9afe24af..000000000 --- a/content/oldpartners/crystal_twin/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,75 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: crystal_twin -title: Crystal Twin -description: Your digital twin serving as a gateway to the new digital world of peer-to-peer experiences. -template: partnerPage.html -taxonomies: - partners-category: [] - tags: [] -extra: - countries: [Global] - cities: [Global] - rank: 5 - imgPath: images/crystaltwin.png - image_caption: crystal_twin - partner_logo: images/crystal_twinLogo.png - members: [brooks_cole, sacha_obeegadoo] - websites: - private: 0 - linkedin: "" ---- - -

-
-Polygon is one of the go-to solutions for developers building dApps on Ethereum, as it effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains). Using Polygon, one can create Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, standalone chains, or any other kind of infrastructure required by the developer.  -
-
-With Polygon, new features are being built around the existing proven technology to expand the ability to cater to diverse needs from the developer ecosystem. Polygon will continue to develop the core technology so that it can scale to a larger ecosystem. The $MATIC token is playing an increasingly important role, securing the system and enabling governance. - -## Polygon and ThreeFold - -Polygon and ThreeFold joined forces to provide key benefits in successfully running a Polygon validator node and other related IT workloads, as well as providing decentralized cloud infrastructure for dApps powered by Polygon, which are primarily the ease-of-deployment, customization, privacy, and monitoring. -
-
-By leveraging the ThreeFold P2P Cloud and its developer tools (the Edge Virtual Data Center, 3Bot Virtual Admin, the quantum safe filesystem) the Polygon community – developers and non-developers – receive the following benefits: -
-
- -- They can easily get started and run their own validators nodes for their staking directly from the web, and in just a few clicks. -- Polygon dApp developers can leverage ThreeFold's P2P infrastructure (compute and storage) to totally decentralize their IT infrastructure, and not rely on centralized cloud providers -

Solidaridad seeks to transform production practices to promote fair and profitable livelihoods and business opportunities, decent working conditions and a fair living wage. Solidaridad without depleting the landscapes where people live and thrive. - -
- - - -
- -## Mission - -With more than 50-years of value chain expertise, and an active network of more than 1.5 million farmers, miners, and workers across the globe, Solidaridad can play a transformational role in designing systems that can leverage technology to transform smallholder livelihoods worldwide. We are developing with Threefold a tokenized platform to incentivize communities to directly deliver intelligence and impact to companies, donors, and investors who are committed to the production of sustainable commodities, and will directly support an inclusive data economy for smallholder producers worldwide. It seeks to prove the concept of investment into impact and empowering communities as purveyors of their own data through the establishment of localized “gig” economies to drive producer agency and access to finance at the bottom of the pyramid for the larger development arena. - -## Impact - -By accelerating digital transformation in developing countries in ways that put communities in the driver seat, we will help to transform the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of smallholder families, by helping them build up the resources and access the services, markets, and finance they need. We can support a much needed planetary transition towards a greener economy, where farmers receive a fair share of profits and are encouraged to be better stewards of our planet. When we decentralize digital access and services, we can generate millions of green jobs at community level for youth, minimizing disorganized urbanization and building meaningful livelihoods for future generations in rural communities. We can also contribute to the increased resilience of regional and global food webs, and ensure the food security of current and future generations. - -## Powered by ThreeFold - -The values of data sovereignty and collaboration that Threefold embodies are central to our vision. We want to reclaim sustainability back to the communities who are the real stewards of our planet, and in today’s economy data plays a crucial role in achieving that vision. We are working together to tokenize farmers’ data and design innovative solutions that help them access services while retaining full security and ownership of their data. Through the Digital Twin technology we are able to deliver a completely new pathway for farmers, and help them generate and market real impact. We are working to set up a development unit within ThreeFold’s Cairo team, and co-design the Internet of the future for the world’s smallholders. - -## What's the Latest? (April 2021) - -Contract between Solidaridad and ThreeFold has been signed and is being executed. Project Ping! will involve sugarcane farmers in upper Egypt and is currently operating as a feasibility study for the larger project to be formalized and initiated. -
-
- -Solidaridad has launched a Fair Data [program](https://www.solidaridadnetwork.org/news/how-technology-can-boost-productivity-in-small-scale-mining/). The Fair Data program hinges around providing services in the 4th industrial revolution where ThreeFold technology will help to achieve: -
-
- -- Record Keeping: Record and trace work and output, along with helping to improve the way people work. -- Formalization: Decriminalize sectors which can lead to more transparency. -- Capacity Building: Training, tracking and ‘certification.’ -- Access to Information: Information sharing platforms focusing on trading and market updates. -- Access to Finance: Information and details on where people are located, their registration, productivity, training and certification – financial services providers would have more confidence to provide loans and other services. -- Advanced Equipment and Technology: Access to the latest equipment will help improve efficiency. -
-
-First focus will be on creating a marketplace for farming data collected by farmers (smallholders) which is wanted by the food industry have sustainability, equality, & human rights statements in their Corporate Social Responsibility Charters. This marketplace will connect smallholder farmers, analysts and large companies to provide the data needed to creating reporting, and the smallholder farmers will benefit by having a secondary income stream out of the information (data) that they provide. - -

- -## Join saving our planet - -Our vision is collaborative, we need to join forces and build a global coalition that shares a vision, but also a common platform with sufficient scale to upend the existing industries that extract value from our planet and our communities without providing anything back. We are interested in finding companies who want to change the way they source commodities, donors who want to maximize impact, and innovators who are looking for pathways to scale innovations that can work for our communities such as innovative connectivity solutions, content and analytics, infrastructure and match-making solutions, amongst others. We are also very interested in seeing how complementary currencies and local incentive systems can help communities adopt best practices and support the global fight against climate change. - - diff --git a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad.jpg b/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad.jpg deleted file mode 100644 index f0933195f..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad.jpg and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad2.jpg b/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad2.jpg deleted file mode 100644 index b8dd6d92e..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad2.jpg and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridadLogo.png b/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridadLogo.png deleted file mode 100644 index a7bca9a0c..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridadLogo.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad_app.jpg b/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad_app.jpg deleted file mode 100644 index f83369052..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/solidaridad/solidaridad_app.jpg and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/oldpartners/spinn/coffe_lifecycle.png b/content/oldpartners/spinn/coffe_lifecycle.png deleted file mode 100644 index fc4a7d435..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/spinn/coffe_lifecycle.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/oldpartners/spinn/index.md b/content/oldpartners/spinn/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index acaf5ff04..000000000 --- a/content/oldpartners/spinn/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,73 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: spinn -title: Spinn -description: Quality coffee made easy. -template: partnerPage.html -taxonomies: - partners-category: [] - tags: [] -extra: - countries: [The Netherlands] - cities: [Amsterdam] - rank: 4 - imgPath: spinn.png - image_caption: spinn - partner_logo: spinnLogo.png - members: [serge_de_warrimont] - websites: https://www.spinn.com - private: 0 - linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/spinncoffee/ ---- - -

- -## About - -Today's internet is fundamentally broken. Less than 60% of the world has access, it is being fragmented into pieces, its users (and their data) are exploited by big corporations, and it consumes up to 10% of the world's energy. It is powered by large, centralized data centers which benefit specific geographic regions and leave the rest behind. The ThreeFold Grid is the answer. "Nodes" distributed around the world and owned by independent ThreeFold Farmers create the physical infrastructure that empowers a new, democratized, peer-to-peer internet based on our values of equality (access), autonomy (digital sovereignty), and sustainability (for our planet). - -

- -## About - -[V](https://vlang.io) is a statically typed programming language similar to Go, and inspired by Rust, Swift, and Oberon. V was created because none of the existing languages had all of the following features: Fast compilation, simplicity and maintainability while providing great performance. V’s safety is also incredible with no null, no global variables, no undefined, and support for bounds checking. By default, it also supports pure functions, immutable variables, and immutable structs. - -## V and ThreeFold - -V will become the official smart contract language on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://library.threefold.me/info/threefold#/tfgrid/threefold__tfgrid_home) throughout the first quarter of 2022. It’s simplicity and readability allows anyone to go through and understand any code base, even non-developers, making it the ideal smart contract language for the Threefold ecosystem. - -
- -Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc. - -
- -V aims to become an alternative to JavaScript as the de facto coding language on the market in the upcoming years. With V, the developer doesn't need to change anything in their code. "It just works", like in Python, Go, or Java, except there's no heavy GC tracing everything or expensive RC for each object. V can translate your entire C project and offer you the safety, simplicity, and 10-25x faster compilation speeds. - -

- -## About - -We are creating, storing, and sending more data than ever before, and this trend will certainly continue as more people come online and with trends such as Internet of Things and 5G, as examples. More data means more energy consumption, which is not good for our planet. -
-
-For many years, research has been focused on increasing the capacity of 40 year old compressions algorithms (LZW) instead of developing new approaches. We at [Zetako](https://zetako.ai) believe that the world’s exponential data creation, processing and storage needs cannot be met with old optimized algorithms. To use Albert Einstein's words: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” -
-
-This next part is a little geeky. :) We have developed a brand new mathematical theory based on Statistical Predictive modeling and applied this to a new lossless data compression technology. The result is a technology that provides 30% more compression and Speed and uses 70% less energy in the process. In addition to this, the technology is capable of doing bit-by-bit compression allowing for real time bandwidth reduction - the technology does NOT need a prior knowledge of the dataset to start compression. In layman terms, this means that our technology does not require the data stream to be chopped up into chunks - we apply compression the moment the first bit (1 or 0) comes in. - -
- - - -
- -## Mission - -Zetako is dedicated to reducing energy usage & CO2 emission for the transmission and storage of data by applying a new lossless data compression technology. - -## Impact - -We are in a position to become the standard of lossless data compression for the next decades that will provide a solution to the problem of every growing amount of data and the energy used to transport and store it. -
-
-By reducing the size of data files - whether when transported or stored - we reduce the amount of energy that is required to do so and by reducing energy consumption we reduce C02 emissions. - -## Powered by ThreeFold - -We will be embedded into the backbone of ThreeFold - the de facto lossless data compression algorithm being used - benefitting all stakeholders. In combination with ThreeFold's already-efficient infrastructure, we will provide State-of-the-Art lossless compression made for the 21st century, culminating it less use of resources for the benefit of all. - -## Join saving our planet! - -It is expected that in 2025 the world will produce 175 ZB of data and an eye-watering 9.000 Terawatt will be used to operate and handle this - We need to look at reducing the energy consumption that goes into our digital lives. - - - - diff --git a/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetako.png b/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetako.png deleted file mode 100644 index 0b3eeea87..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetako.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetako2.png b/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetako2.png deleted file mode 100644 index aec3f9239..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetako2.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetakoLogo.png b/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetakoLogo.png deleted file mode 100644 index 88a2aa682..000000000 Binary files a/content/oldpartners/zetako/zetakoLogo.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/partners/_index.md b/content/partners/_index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 49e8aa8d8..000000000 --- a/content/partners/_index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,18 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: "Key Collaborators" -paginate_by: 9 - -# paginate_reversed: false - -sort_by: "none" -insert_anchor_links: "left" -#base_url: "posts" -#first: "first" -#last: "last" -template: "layouts/partners.html" -page_template: "partnerPage.html" -#transparent: true -description: "Meet the core projects we are collaborating with on a range of initiatives across sectors." -extra: - imgPath: utilities_heder.png ---- diff --git a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezone.png b/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezone.png deleted file mode 100644 index 2c3c29964..000000000 Binary files a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezone.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonecover.png b/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonecover.png deleted file mode 100644 index 6b2a0d89e..000000000 Binary files a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonecover.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonecover2.png b/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonecover2.png deleted file mode 100644 index c3d2b9790..000000000 Binary files a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonecover2.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonelogo.png b/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonelogo.png deleted file mode 100644 index 7e09e67aa..000000000 Binary files a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/freezonelogo.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/index.md b/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/index.md deleted file mode 100644 index 2c0a6d7d5..000000000 --- a/content/partners/our_world_free_zone/index.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,52 +0,0 @@ ---- -id: our_world_free_zone -title: Our World Free Zone -description: ThreeFold is working with ZICTIA, on behalf of the Zanzibar government, to create the world’s first 100% Digital Free Zone – accessible and affordable for all. -template: partnerPage.html -taxonomies: - partners-category: [foundation] - tags: [] -date: 2024-03-19 -extra: - countries: [Global] - cities: [] - rank: 1 - imgPath: freezonecover2.png - image_caption: Our World Free Zone - partner_logo: freezonelogo.png - websites: https://freezone.ourworld.tf/ - private: 0 ---- - -

With the ThreeFold Grid 3.0 release, it is possible to stake your TFT by keeping them in your wallet. By doing so, you'll receive discounts on capacity reservation.

- - -- #### What is $INCA? - $INCA is the continuation of $TFT for TF Grid v4. A new tokenomics model and reward system allows us to scale out faster. - - -
- - -- #### How as a user can I use my $TFT and $INCA? - TFT and INCA are both usable on both version of the ThreeFold Cloud. - The INCA and TFT can be used to fund the INCA liquidity pool which allows conversion between USD, INCA and TFT. - - -
- - -- #### Will you support currencies like USD or EUR? - In version 4 of the Cloud, users will be able to pay in TFT, INCA and fiat currencies like USD and EUR. The Liquidity pool will take care of the conversion between those currencies. Endusers will not have to understand the specifics of TFT or INCA if they don’t want to.. - - -
- - -- #### How many tokens are there now? - +-960 Million TFT have been farmed on TFGrid 3.x. We will stop farming once we hit 1 Billion. After the Billion TFT has been minted then all farming will be in $INCA. The exact tokenomics has not been defined yet, but we have multiple variations and are making simulators. We are working with tokenomics and DePIN experts to validate the possibilities. - - -

    WEB 4

    -

    The Next Evolution of the Internet

    -

    Web 4 is the natural progression of the Internet, where humans and artificial intelligence work together to create a new paradigm designed to promote planetary well-being and ensure equal opportunities for all. Users are in 100% control of their data and no centralized services are needed.

    -

    Blockchain was the first step to Web3.

    -

    ThreeFold is the next step to Web4.

    We are building a New Internet

    -

    The Internet brings the world together, yet much of it is now concentrated in the hands of a few powerful corporations. This wasn't its original purpose. The Internet was envisioned as a decentralized, open space—a tool for freedom, collaboration, and equal access for all.

    -

    ThreeFold has invented a new Data, Network and Cloud system
    - as an Engine for an Upgraded Internet.

    The Reason Behind It All

    -

    - The Internet started as a peer-to-peer network, but over time it has become fragile and overly centralized. This shift has led to serious issues: misinformation is rampant, privacy and security are compromised, and half the world remains poorly connected. -

    - Big tech companies now dominate the Internet, tracking our activities and influencing our decisions, consolidating control in ways that don't serve everyone equally... -

    -

    -
    -
    - - -
    -
    -
    -

    Therefore we believe the Internet needs a fresh start—one that addresses these challenges with a focus on authenticity, equality, and sustainability for everyone.

    Most countries only rely on cable networks, meaning they lack control over their own digital infrastructure.
    -

    Today, most of the cloud is owned and operated by a few major companies taking all the profits and control of the Internet.

    Digital experiences should not manipulate people, rather they should empower them.
