### It all Started with a Vision About a Decade ago
|
|
|
|
When we saw how the Internet's existing infrastructure was becoming increasingly centralized, controlled by a handful of tech giants, and posed a threat to privacy and sovereignty, we knew it was time for a change. That's why we founded ThreeFold.

### Green Infrastructure

There is no Planet B. And the Internet is consumed a surprisingly large amount of the world's energy, between 5 and 10%. This is why ThreeFold has designed with efficiency in mind to create the most sustainable Internet infrastructure in the world.

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