### **Founded by Internet 1.0 Pioneers**

About a decade ago, a group of passionate Internet & Cloud veterans came together to build<br>a new foundational layer for a better Internet – more like how the Internet was originally intended.

### **Our mission is to empower**

We exist to help others to create on top of what the team has built, to enable others to become truly decentralized, and to make it easy for everyone to play their role within this new ecosystem.

### **Our vision is a better digital world**

We believe in an Internet where everyone can communicate freely, exchange fairly, access educational information, and own their own data. Our digital experiences should not addict nor manipulate, rather empower.

### **Planet-First**

Our solutions must be sustainable. There is no Planet B.

<br>

And the Internet is consumed a surprisingly large amount of the world’s energy, ±10%. This is why ThreeFold has designed with efficiency in mind to create the most sustainable Internet infrastructure in the world. We must respect our mother earth.

### **People-First**

We empower self-sovereignty and autonomy.

Equality, diversity, and inclusion are key to our vision of an Internet for everyone, everywhere. ThreeFold has created a participatory infrastructure and movement, and is prioritizing efforts to bring a more accessible Internet to developing regions around the world.
