Welcome to ThreeFold
ThreeFold is a decentralized, peer-to-peer, open-source Internet platform, allowing people to provide and utilize Internet capacity directly – without intermediaries.
A sovereign alternative to the centralized Internet.

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The current Internet is outdated.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.

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.

The ThreeFold Grid v3.9
Live and Operational
{% end %}
{% row(style="center margin narrow") %}
The ThreeFold Grid is community-owned and managed. The stack was built around principles of open-source and simplicity, and to be compatibile with current and future IT standards – from Kubernetes to Docker to IPFS and S3. It is an alternative to the centralized Internet model – a decentralized infrastructure for the builders of tomorrow.

{% row(style="center narrow mbottom") %}
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.
