### The Users
In our **Web4 enabled Internet**, powered by ThreeFold, **normal users become active participants**.
By using a **ThreeFold Phone** or apps hosted on the **ThreeFold Grid**, you can create and control your own **digital life**.
Your data stays private, stored securely on a decentralized infrastructure, while you access personalized apps and services tailored to your needs. With ThreeFold, youre empowered to own your digital identity, interact in peer-to-peer ecosystems, and contribute to a more sustainable, user-driven internet.
We collaborate with other projects to make the experience complete
- BTC for payments (Bitcoin)
- Morpheus AI for decentralized AI
- Volla Phone for secure phone
We also are first class host for following apps
- Nostr for social network app
- Peertube for youtube alternative
- Matrix as chat protocol
- Holochain for web4 blockchain capabilities (installed on 3Phone as well)
- ... (let us know if you want other apps as well)
ThreeFold provides the secure network, cloud and data layer.
### Cloud Providers (Farmers)
![](../img/become_farmer.png)
- Individual and commercial farmers contribute hardware capacity to the ThreeFold Grid and earn rewards for their participation.
- In the coming years, our goal is to connect millions of nodes to the network.
- Our network technology delivers an end-to-end encrypted and highly reliable connection layer.
- Our storage technology ensures data is never lost and privacy is fully protected.
- [Explore the ThreeFold Dashboard](https://dashboard.grid.tf).
### Network Providers (Farmers)
- Buy a [3Router](../components/3router.md) and allow everyone to get access to the ThreeFold Network.
- Earn rewards by doing so.
- ThreeFold will only create the 3Routers once we have sold at least 10,000 of them.
### Cloud Users (developers, sysadmins)
![](../howtouse/img/users_all.png)
Our platform supports a lot of use cases:
- Web2 system administrators can deploy any application on the grid with the tools they are used to work with.
- Web3 enthousiasts can run their blockchain workloads on the grid.
- Web4 developers build the apps (experiences) of the future.
