Welcome to ThreeFold
Truly Decentralized Internet Infrastructure
ThreeFold is a globally-distributed grid of storage, compute, and network capacity, acting as "no middleman" Internet resources between independent capacity providers and users.

Why Do We Need an Alternative?
Overcoming Internet Inequalities
{% end %}
{% row(style="center reverse mbottom narrow") %}
The current Internet is outdated. It is built on a centralized antiquated foundation, which hinders scalability and efficiency.
The current Internet is not scalable. Over 3 billion people lack reliable Internet access.
The current Internet is not sustainable. It consumes between 5-10% of the world’s energy.
Your digital life depends on hyperscale data centers controlled by a handful of tech giants. The majority of web 2 and even web 3 services are built on these foundations.

Internet Re-Imagined. Internet Re-Built.
Over a decade ago, a group of early Internet pioneers,
who understood the problems of the centralized Internet model first-hand,
came together to re-imagine the infrastructure for an open and decentralized Internet.
But we didn't just imagine it – we built it. Join us in evolving the Internet, together.

Beyond a Protocol
The ThreeFold Grid is not just another protocol, it's a community-owned and managed low level decentralized Internet capacity layer and infrastructure, on top of which any protocol can run.
|||
Complementing Web3
ThreeFold is not a Web3 project, but we love Web3 and the ThreeFold Grid can host and complement any Web3 project, finally providing a truly decentralized backbone for the space.
|||
Highly-Compatible
The stack was built around open-source and simplicity, and to be compatibile with current and future IT standards such as Kubernetes, Docker, IPFS and S3. If it runs on Linux, it can be hosted on ThreeFold.

Expand
Independent people and organizations connect hardware to the ThreeFold Grid. Provide Internet capacity for the people around you, and earn for it.
|||
Build
Developers and Sysadmins use ThreeFold technology to build, deploy, and store on top of community-owned Internet capacity. They pay with $TFT.

Together
Join a group of people around the globe who believe the world needs ThreeFold and take action to bring the project forward.

Support the Project
We're open-source and decentralized, so we use a token called $TFT to fuel the movement, which is the medium of exchange
on the ThreeFold Grid. Buy $TFT to use grid services or for future utilization.
