Frequently Asked Questions

The Internet used to be a peer to peer network, but has become fragile and too centralized. There are so many problems with the current Internet, such as authenticity, privacy, security, and sustainability that we believe a fundamental new approach is needed.

TFT is our token which was used to build generation 1, 2 and 3 of the ThreeFold Grid capacity. From the start, ThreeFold had 4 billion tokens planned. The ThreeFold community decided to stop minting at 1 billion tokens on Stellar via a DAO vote. 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 capacity, and we need a new token to build this new generation. There will be 3 billion new INCA tokens and all TFT holders can transfer their TFT into INCA (one-way bridge).

This means that we keep the community decision to have 4 billion tokens in total and to mint maximum 1 billion on Stellar. Our partners will start selling new ThreeFold Nodes mid December 2024 with a new reward scheme and ready to grow to millions of nodes.

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.

Web4 represents the natural evolution of the Internet, where humans and artificial intelligence collaborate to develop a new paradigm aimed at advancing planetary well-being while making sure everyone has equal chances. This Internet can be sovereign & decentralized, while being totally secure and private. This phase of the Internet can scale indefinitely, is green, self-healing, cost effective and ultra-reliable.

ThreeFold is designed to be secure and private by default. We use end-to-end encryption to protect your data and ensure that only you have access to your data.

ThreeFold grid can be used to host any web2, web3 and web4 (future) workload. For more details see our docs.

Individuals, businesses, and organizations who want to be autonomous and have full control over their data and applications. Security is a very big problem today, Technology as used by ThreeFold has the potential to resolve this if used properly. We are building a channel of solution providers and integrators who want to build on top of ThreeFold.
