## Empowering the New Internet by hosting your own 3Nodes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Internet as we know it has become centralized, fragile, and monopolized by a few powerful corporations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This model compromises privacy, limits innovation, and leaves us vulnerable to data breaches, censorship, and control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ThreeFold is building a new Internet, one that is decentralized, secure, and people-powered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By hosting a node, you become a vital part of this revolutionary shift.
