At ThreeFold, we’re building a new kind of Internet – one that puts people back in control of their digital lives through privacy, ownership, and decentralization. Today, we're thrilled to share some great news with you: the launch of the OwnPhone!
What is the OwnPhone?
OwnPhone is the first smartphone to realize the 3Phone vision (first announced on 12/12/24), highly secure and designed to work seamlessly with the ThreeFold Grid. It is developed by YourData Network and powered by ThreeFold infrastructure. OwnPhone offers a new way of thinking about digital privacy and ownership. Here’s some of what sets it apart:
- Your data stays yours. No tracking, no profiling. What’s on your phone belongs to you – period.
- Built on the decentralized Internet. OwnPhone uses the global infrastructure developed by ThreeFold to store your data across a distributed network.
- You’re in control. Choose where your data lives and who can access it. With OwnPhone, you're in charge of your digital world.
- Powered by Mycelium networking. Mycelium is ThreeFold’s advanced overlay network that connects your device securely and directly, using the shortest and most private path – no middlemen, no exposure.
You can find YourData Network’s full announcement here.

On the Roadmap
These upcoming features will continue to expand what’s possible:
- One-Tap App Deployment. Soon, you’ll be able to launch apps like Nextcloud with a single tap – giving you instant access to private file storage, backups, and more, all powered by ThreeFold.
- Mycelium Name Services Integration. A decentralized alternative to traditional domain systems, ensuring fair access to digital names without centralized control.
- 3Bot & 3AI. Your personal digital assistant and AI tools, running privately on your OwnPhone and the ThreeFold Grid.
