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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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 tomorrows 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 planets 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.

At the heart of ThreeFolds mission is the benefit of the people & our planet. We aim to have a positive impact in the space of technology while keeping our ecological footprint low. Saving a maximum of energy has always been on our agenda. Now, with the rising bills of our farmers making it harder for them to keep on supporting the project, it became an even greater priority.
<br/>
## Rising Energy Prices
Energy prices have been on steady rise globally because of increasing costs of energy production, high demand, and the depletion of traditional energy sources such as oil and natural gas as primary drivers. However, the Russian-Western standoff due to the invasion of Ukraine has produced an [unprecedented increase in energy prices](https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/impact-war-ukraine-energy-prices-consequences-firms-financial-performance), especially in Europe.
<br/>
Some statistics:
* UK - Household energy bills [increased by 54% in April 2022](https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9491/), and a further increase of 20% is expected in April 2023.
* USA - Consumers paid [14.3% more for electricity](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjHt5D4t-_8AhUxUKQEHcUxCXcQFnoECA8QAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.utilitydive.com%2Fnews%2Felectricity-prices-inflation-consumer-price-index%2F640656%2F&usg=AOvVaw1dL-3vVXBjEqA0wklxlmUt) last year on average.
* France - As of February 2023, [electricity prices may rise by 15%](https://www.thelocal.fr/20220914/french-pm-to-present-measures-to-limit-energy-bills-in-2023/).
<br/>
These rising energy costs have a significant impact on the economy, affecting inflation and driving up the cost of goods and services.
<br/>
## 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.
<br/>
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 worlds 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.
<br/>
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:
<br/>
* **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.
<br/>
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 werent 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.
<br/>
## 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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
## 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.
<br/>
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. Its important to note that even a machine with nothing running on top of it consumes energy and brings a cost to farmers.
<br/>
## 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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
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 teams attention, and we had obstacles along the route to designing this solution, including limited funding and needful adjustments.
<br/>
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!
<br/>
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 farms own needs and preferences.
<br/>
## 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.
<br/>
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.
<br/>
If youd like to contribute to making this a reality, there are several options:
<br/>
* [Become a farmer](https://threefold.io/farm/) and run your own [3Nodes](https://marketplace.3node.global/index.php).

"A 3node becomes a gateway when a Threefold farmer adds a public IP address to the node itself on the Threefold Dashboard. In doing so, the IP address is then handed over to the base operating system of the node itself. The IP address can then be used in the overall functions of the TF Grid."
<br/>
You can configure your 3Nodes to become 'gateway nodes' in a few simple steps. Find out how by watching [Drew's video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axvKipK7MQM&feature=youtu.be) about it, or by reading [Mik's summary](https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-is-a-3node-gateway-how-can-i-configure-a-3node-as-a-gateway-node/3766) of the video - or doing both!

The [forum](https://forum.threefold.io/) has been quite active, find discussions, Q&A's, recaps, and more:
<br/>
🔒 Join an important discussion about a proposal to [lock TFT value during deployment](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tft-locked-value-during-deployment/3675/3).
<br/>
🎥 Take a look at the recording of the [Weekly Technical Help Room](https://forum.threefold.io/t/weekly-technical-help-room/3627) hosted by Drew, and tune in next Monday for the next session! You can also find the recording of the [January Community Call](https://forum.threefold.io/t/january-16th-2023-weekly-tech-call-recording/3702) to catch up on lots of topics around ThreeFold.
<br/>
📄 Thanks to Mik for summarizing and organizing a [Q&A from the Weekly Threefold Tech and January Community Calls](https://forum.threefold.io/t/q-a-from-the-weekly-threefold-tech-and-community-calls/3711), making it easier to find answers to any question addressed.
<br/>
🩺 Are you wondering about the self-healing & self-driving capabilities of the Grid? Scott clears out any common misconception in [this post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/self-healing-high-availability-and-the-grid-today/3705)!
<br/>
🦣 For those who were wondering about the mastodon server being down, [Drew gave us an update](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://forum.threefold.io/t/what-happened-to-the-threefoldcloud-com-sites/3712&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1674123620068533&usg=AOvVaw1cWMfcGQJBu_tqJMGlN8ps)! While the server is down, it was not due to a failure of the grid, but rather because it was deployed as a test environment - and the good news is that it was a successful proof-of-concept!
<br/>
_Thanks to all of you creating and engaging with content from the forum! Reminder: This is our town hall - you can ask questions, find answers, make proposals, share your opinion and discuss any ThreeFold-related topic. We love seeing it active!_

🧠 Brainstorm sessions around the topic of [ThreeFold DMCC and Grid Commercialization (GC)](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-commercialisation-brainstorm-call/3808): Watch the recording of [GC brainstorm session #1](https://vimeo.com/805551923/69eec7163f) or read [the notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Iku8ZyrwagxdcLJvbOmTm4OA_QVwV6BC-gtUiCLh2Cs/edit?usp=sharing) from the call to be fully caught up, and save the date for [GC brainstorm session #2](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-dmcc-grid-commercialization-brainstorm-round-two/3835), Wednesday March 15th at 17:00 CET / 11:00 EST.
<br/>
🤖 Here are some [guidelines to set up your nodes](https://forum.threefold.io/t/how-to-prepare-your-farm-for-the-farmerbot-with-wol/3832) and their networking for Farmerbot!
<br/>
🎛 [Cloud-console will be coming soon to Zero-OS machines](https://forum.threefold.io/t/cloud-console-coming-soon-to-zos-machines/3834)!
<br/>
🌟 Give input on how we should proceed with setting up a [referral program for Threefold](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-referral-program/3809).
<br/>
🔒 It seems we are approaching a consensus on how to proceed regarding [locking TFT value during deployments](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tft-locked-value-during-deployment/3675/27?u=victoriaobee).
<br/>
🪙 The thread replies to the proposal of [decommissioning the BSC bridge](https://forum.threefold.io/t/decomission-bsc-bridge-and-pegged-token/3813) point toward the fact that the community wants TFT to stay on BSC, at least until we can have another major chain supporting TFT.
<br/>
🎥 Thanks to Jakub for creating a mini video series about using Kubernetes on the ThreeFold Grid (https://forum.threefold.io/t/kubernetes-on-threefold-mini-video-series/3831).
<br/>
💡 Mik experimented and found it was easy to [deploy Nostr relays on the Grid](https://forum.threefold.io/t/threefold-and-nostr-relays/3825)via Umbrel. Tutorials coming soon!
<br/>
📈 View the [latest Grid Stats update](https://forum.threefold.io/t/grid-stats-new-nodes-utilization-overview/3291/45) to see the newest additions to the Grid and its utilization metrics!
<br/>
📚 If youre interested in contributing to the [ThreeFold Manual](https://manual.grid.tf/), Mik expanded on his [simple guide about adding content](https://forum.threefold.io/t/contributing-to-the-tf-manual-a-quick-guide/3824).
<br/>
📊 How did you learn about ThreeFold? Let us know via [this poll](https://forum.threefold.io/t/poll-how-did-you-learn-about-threefold/3827)! So far, it seems most people got acquainted through friends or word of mouth.

Curious how to deploy a full VM with SSH? Mik created 4 more ThreeFold Guides for how to easily do so on the ThreeFold Playground. These guides cover two more operating systems, Linux & Mac, check it out according to your needs!
<br/>
- [Full VM SSH: Linux, IPV4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRHlzv-jpbo&list=PLTGQlepPqwUV0IA8BjDFetyjPD4XqVb6K&index=12&pp=gAQBiAQB)
- [Full VM SSH: Linux, Planetary Network](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=146vFBXr5pM&list=PLTGQlepPqwUV0IA8BjDFetyjPD4XqVb6K&index=13&pp=gAQBiAQB)
- [Full VM SSH: Mac, IPV4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lICN-XXtt0A&list=PLTGQlepPqwUV0IA8BjDFetyjPD4XqVb6K&index=14&pp=gAQBiAQB)

In [this demo](https://youtu.be/DIhfSRKAKHw), appropriately titled "Zero to Hero in 10 minutes," Weynand takes us through the steps of deploying a Nextcloud instance on top of the ThreeFold Grid, and tries to do the whole deployment in under ten minutes.
<br/>
This time, Weynand uses Terraform to first launch the Virtual Machine within which the Nextcloud instance will run, and then uses Docker to install Nextcloud. Please note it's also simple to launch a Virtual Machine using the ThreeFold Playground, which Weynand touches on.
<br/>
Also, shoutout to Teisie for providing the farm on top of which Weynand decided to do his demo.

As we shared [last week](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tfgrid-power-management-feature-for-3-8-1/3721), the power management feature is in development. Today, we have a short update directly from the team responsible for it:
<br/>
“The farmerbot has actors node (for anything node related) and power (for anything power related) which are able to execute what we call jobs. Jobs are actions or methods that can be done or executed by an actor. One of them is the find node action, which finds a node that can fit the required resources for a specific deployment. While doing that, it will power on the node if it is off. Every five minutes, the farmerbot fetches information about the nodes (calling the nodes directly). With that information it is able to shut down nodes automatically that are not being used.
<br/>
The implementation is now mostly done. The communication between farmerbot, nodes, and tfchain is not yet complete. An exact estimate for completion is hard to provide as there are many variables, but we are working as quickly as we can.”
<br/>
_Thanks to the team for their efforts on this long-awaited feature!_

Here's the latest update from Brandon:
<br/>
"We have been testing the farmerbot the last couple of days. The farmerbot was able to shutdown 2 nodes on its own which is a good thing. But we noticed that shutting down the second node took over 30 minutes which is not what we expected. After some investigation we noticed a small issue that we are fixing right now.
<br/>
Thank you for your patience. We will be continuing our tests once this issue is fixed and keep you up to date."

Community member Kiluminati found ThreeFold and was impressed with the technology and the potential, but felt that deploying on the grid wasn't always so user friendly. So, they decided to take action and do something about it.
<br/>
From Kiluminati, "Foldit is my attempt at providing a (relatively) easy interface for novice users to get their workloads up and running fast." While Foldit is still very much a work in progress, it's already quite an impressive effort and getting nice reactions from the community.
<br/>

- 💡 Read the [Foldit Solution Provider Proposal](https://forum.threefold.io/t/foldit-a-user-friendly-threefold-interface/3860).
- 💬 Give feedback in the [Foldit Telegram Group](https://t.me/+ydIlx33ZJmFmMGE8).
<br/>
_Kudos to Kiluminati for this contribution and providing a prime example of the beauty, and power, of decentralization. We're all looking forward to see where this goes. Together we build!_

Take a look at [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM9fikszyss) where Scott demonstrates how to create and manipulate micro VM images for deployment on the ThreeFold Grid.
<br/>
“Using Docker, we'll work through the process of installing an application, in this case Umbrel, inside of a container image, and then converting that container into an flist for use on the Grid. The end result will be a reusable image that anyone can deploy or which could be used as the basis for a new weblet.”
<br/>
_Heres a [forum post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/deploy-umbrel-with-micro-vm-image-and-tailscale/3789) from Scott to help out, and keep an eye out for a second video this week which will show how easy it is to connect to VMs on the Grid using Tailscale, without needing public IPs, gateways, or Planetary Network_

We are pleased to share two exciting updates on the farming side!
<br/>
1. The long-awaited [Farmerbot feature is now ready for testing](https://forum.threefold.io/t/tf-grid-3-9-farmer-bot-on-qanet/3842) on QA Net. Get involved in testing and offering feedback to help the push to mainnet. Thanks to the team for the release and to the community for your patience.
<br/>
2. The first 3Node webshop outside of the marketplace [opened in Europe](https://forum.threefold.io/t/first-3node-webshop-outside-martketplace-opened-today-in-europe/3841). Kudos to Robert / HostService for the launch. From Robert: "We thank the Threefold team for their trust and applaud them for decentralising their project even more with this step. This allows us to provide even better and more efficient services and we are celebrating this by offering FREE SHIPPING in Europe."

## ☎️ Community Tech Call / Q&A Announcement
I wanted to get the invite out early for next weeks community Q&A and tech call. This is a space where the community and the team comes together so you can bring any questions or ideas you may have and we can work together to get your project off the ground!
<br/>
Every week our discussions have been driving more and more decentralized development on the the grid and I cant wait to see what next week brings!
<br/>
- You can check out the Invitation to next week's call [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/weekly-community-q-a-and-tech-call-on-monday-january-30-2023-at-12-00-pm-noon-central-us-time/3734).
- When: _01.30.23 at 13:00 EST / 19:00 CET_
- You can check out the recording of today's call [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/01-23-23-weekly-community-q-a-and-technical-call-recording/3732/2). Today's call included:
- How an everyday user can put the power of the grid to work,
- Creating a solution provider focused on making fundraising simple,
- And, some simple explanations on Terraform.
<br/>
_Look forward to short videos from these calls to make everything more digestible in the near future thanks to the community member who has been volunteering his time to help me refine the production of these call and archive the information that we are gathering._
<br/>
## 🔍 Community Development Highlight
You also don't want to miss what Mik (@mp_mik) has been doing to bring Ai to the Threefold Grid, you can check out his AI support bot [here](https://forum.threefold.io/t/automating-support-nlp-bot-for-q-a/3057/6).
<br/>
He has created a bot that is able to readily intake conversational questions and use a Threefold Specific database of information to answer the users questions. The bot is currently deployed as a Telegram bot and you can find all the instructions to use it in the thread above.
<br/>
This truly highlights what everyone can do to make their contribution to the grid:
- All of the hosting and production of these calls,
- All of the development of Mik's bot,
- And many other resources that have come to grid in recent weeks are works provided by community members with very little involvement from the development team.
<br/>
Look out for my next post!
<br/>
-Drew
