<h1>Welcome to ThreeFold</strong></h1>
|
||
<!-- <h3 class="my-1">Host a node, support a decentralized future</h3> -->
|
||
<p>ThreeFold is a decentralized, peer-to-peer, open-source Internet platform, allowing people to provide and utilize Internet capacity directly – without intermediaries.
|
||
<br>
|
||
A sovereign alternative to the centralized Internet.</p>

## 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The current Internet is **outdated**.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.
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
The current Internet is **not scalable**. Over 3 billion people lack reliable Internet access.
|
||
|
||
<br>
|
||
|
||
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, <br>who understood the problems of the centralized Internet model first-hand, <br>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 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.**

### **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.

## 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<br>on the ThreeFold Grid. Buy $TFT to use grid services or for future utilization.
