# Web3 Developers

The ThreeFold Grid offers a decentralized and sustainable alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure. 

It aligns perfectly with Web3 principles like decentralization, privacy, and autonomy.

## Key Features of the ThreeFold Grid
- **Decentralization:** Workloads are distributed across independent nodes owned by individuals or organizations, avoiding reliance on centralized cloud providers.
- **Sustainability:** Built on energy-efficient hardware and a commitment to environmental sustainability.
- **Data Autonomy:** Users retain full control over their data, with no intermediaries involved.
