Dragonchain and ThreeFold share a common mission of providing developers and the digital world with a more inclusive and decentralized Internet infrastructure – one where data flows and is stored in a peer-to-peer environment, and where applications are computed by decentralized and community-owned protocols.
<br/>
<br/>
Today, Dragonchain and ThreeFold are proud to announce their partnership to further empower developers and enterprises around the world to build scalable dApps on Dragonchain, on ThreeFold’s peer-to-peer cloud.
<br/>
<br/>
ThreeFold presents a more cost-effective, distributed, autonomous, secure, and sustainable alternative to centralized cloud-providers. Now, developers and enterprises building Web3 applications can leverage and deploy Dragonchain’s Blockchain and advanced smart-contracts into their dApps, with the added benefit of utilizing ThreeFold to completely decentralize their cloud computing infrastructure – and deploy their solutions on the edge.
<br/>
<br/>
ThreeFold’s peer-to-peer environment combined with the Dragonchain ecosystem gives communities the ability to build their online presence without worrying about censorship over dissenting opinions, local outages, or unauthorized access to data.
<br/>
<br/>
“It has alway been our belief that developers should have the freedom to build without restraint. We’re happy to partner with ThreeFold to provide the tools necessary to easily build applications for a decentralized environment,” Joe Roets, Chief Architect, Founder, CEO at Dragonchain.
<br/>
<br/>
Together, Dragonchain and ThreeFold are decreasing friction and opening more avenues for inclusion. The Dragonchain platform contains sophisticated and lightweight SDKs and enables enterprises to use their existing IT staff to deploy code in any coding language.
<br/>
<br/>
Further, the Dragonchain developer community can now build Web3-native and P2P cloud-native applications without the need for prior Blockchain experience. Developers now have access to scalable industry-standard solutions like Docker, Kubernetes, S3 storage – and ThreeFold’s Quantum Safe Filesystem – to build applications for a decentralized environment.
<br/>
<br/>
As stated by Weynand Kuijipers, co-founder at ThreeFold, “dApps need to live outside the market-leading monopolies and we are proud to be able to provide secure, private and sovereign compute and storage capacity for the Dragonchain community.“
<br/>
<br/>
Both ThreeFold and Dragonchain invite and support any and all Web2 and Web3 developers to build decentralized applications that have the potential to change the world and make it a better and more inclusive place for us all.

## About ThreeFold
ThreeFold is developing a peer-to-peer Internet platform that aims to liberalize what it labels as a centralized and unequally distributed Internet. Its platform, called the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__grid_home), comprises over +600 servers in 25+ different countries around the world, delivering approximately 80 PB in storage and over 16,000 CPU cores worldwide, making it the largest storage and compute peer-to-peer Internet network in the world. See ThreeFold Grid’s statistics in more detail using their explorer [here](https://explorer.threefold.io/all).
<br/>
<br/>
Each server runs ThreeFold’s stateless and lightweight open-source operating system, Zero-OS, and is set up and operated by independent individuals and organizations called Farmers. Farmers earn rewards in [TFT](https://threefold.io/info/threefold#/threefold__token_home) - the platform’s native token - for their participation. TFT is the currency of the ThreeFold Grid, with each token representing a unit of storage and compute on the platform. Grid users can use these tokens to reserve the storage and compute they need to store, build and share on the platform’s internet network.
<br/>
<br/>
ThreeFold’s ultimate vision is to be part of the movement to fully democratize the Internet worldwide.

Recently, we announced [our plans to go "multichain,"](https://bitcoinist.com/peer-to-peer-internet-threefold-goes-multichain-to-accelerate-token-accessibility/) bringing the ThreeFold Token (TFT) to three popular DeFi ecosystems: Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Ethereum, and Huobi’s ECO Chain. Today, the bridge to BSC is now live, and TFT is available on PancakeSwap!
<br/>
<br/>
By making TFT more accessible, more of the world is now able to take part in the growth of a peer-to-peer Internet owned by all of us. Members of the ThreeFold community, DeFi enthusiasts, and the Binance community now have another way to access TFT, and can swap it with other BSC-based tokens as they wish.
<br/>
<br/>
As an added bonus, today we are also pleased to share that anyone can now buy TFT with BTC directly on the ThreeFold Connect app.
## What is ThreeFold all about?
ThreeFold is a quantum-safe peer-to-peer Internet (storage and compute), combining a stateless operating system with autonomous technology on a globally-distributed network of nodes. The technology stack is unstoppable (self-driving and self-healing) and our tamper-proof infrastructure can scale with demand.
<br/>
<br/>
Reputed organizations and blockchains (e.g. DigiByte, Polygon, CasperLabs) are joining the ThreeFold ecosystem, as it is best positioned to efficiently and truly decentralize the web through its advanced technology stack.
<br/>
<br/>
[TFT](https://threefold.io/token) is the official currency of ThreeFold, with each token representing a unit of reservation of capacity (storage and compute) on the [ThreeFold Grid](https://threefold.io/farming/tech).
## The time to get TFT is now!
With TFT, developers and enterprises can reserve compute and storage to build any IT workload and application on the ThreeFold Grid.
<br/>
<br/>
Now is the best time for anyone to join ThreeFold’s decentralization movement, as we’re on the verge of releasing the next generation Internet and Cloud to mainnet, through a sequence of events starting next month.
## Making it easier to get TFT
### TFT is now live on PancakeSwap
The BSC dApp and DeFi ecosystem has grown significantly over the last few months. In April, it was reported that BSC held up to 9 million transactions per day, outperforming Ethereum’s with (under) 2 million. Further, we have witnessed ongoing innovation in this particular environment, with multiple DeFi, Yield Farming, NFT applications, and other dApps leveraging the Binance Smart Chain and its cost-effective transactions. BSC is making DeFi applications more inclusive and accessible for people around the globe.
<br/>
<br/>
Beyond just making TFT more accessible, ThreeFold integrated with Binance Smart Chain to empower BSC developers with its decentralized storage and compute infrastructure. They can now benefit from ThreeFold's peer-to-peer nature and autonomous IT, with more security, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and decentralization benefits.
<br/>
<br/>
PancakeSwap has become the top Automated Market Maker (AMM) and Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on BSC. Multiple people in the ThreeFold community have requested to have the ability to leverage PancakeSwap's platform – to easily swap other BSC tokens for TFT, and to utilize its yield farming and other functionalities.
#### Ultimately, the BSC integration brings forward two major opportunities:
1. It makes TFT more widely accessible, via one of the top smart chains in the world
<br/>
<br/>
*Find out how to get TFT on PancakeSwap [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__tft_binance_defi?id=how-to-get-tft-on-pancakeswap)*
<br/>
<br/>
2. It's fully inclusive – anybody can now provide liquidity for TFT currency pairs
<br/>
<br/>
*Find out how to become a TFT Liquidity Provider on PancakeSwap [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__liquidity_provider)*
<br/>
<br/>
We believe in these key advantages of DeFi, where market making and providing liquidity are now decentralized to the people, and not owned or controlled by the few.
### Quick Access to Binance Smart Chain
For those who have experience with Binance Smart Chain, TFT can be exchanged on BSC via the following contract address:
<br/>
<br/>
**0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf** (direct link [here](https://exchange.pancakeswap.finance/#/swap?outputCurrency=0x8f0fb159380176d324542b3a7933f0c2fd0c2bbf))
<br/>
<br/>
*Please note it is very important to use the official contract address (above) and not any other address you may find elsewhere. For your own protection, please do not use contract addresses from unverified sources.​​​​​​*
### A BTC-TFT integration on the ThreeFold Connect app
ThreeFold Connect (available on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threefold-connect/id1459845885) and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jimber.threebotlogin&hl=en&gl=US) has long been a way for people to store their TFT. Now, anyone can buy TFT with BTC directly from the app itself. Learn how to buy TFT with BTC [here](https://library.threefold.me/info/tfgrid/#/threefold__threefold_connect_btc).
<br/>
<br/>
The PancakeSwap listing and the BTC integration into the ThreeFold Connect Wallet both aim to make it easier to get TFT for people around the world. We will continue these types of efforts as we go, in the spirit of inclusion and participation in the peer-to-peer Internet.
