Empower the New Internet: Why You Should Host a Node
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 can become a vital part of this revolutionary shift.
The Problem with the Current Internet
- Centralization: A handful of companies control most of the internet’s infrastructure and data, leading to monopolistic practices.
- Data Exploitation: Your personal data is harvested, stored, and monetized without your control.
- Fragility: Centralized systems are prone to outages, censorship, and cyberattacks, risking global disruption.
- Environmental Impact: Traditional data centers consume vast amounts of energy, contributing to climate change.
What is ThreeFold?
ThreeFold is a decentralized internet infrastructure built on independent, self-healing nodes hosted by individuals and organizations worldwide. This peer-to-peer network forms the foundation for a more secure, private, and sustainable internet. ThreeFold enables applications, storage, and blockchain services to run without reliance on centralized servers, ensuring true digital sovereignty.
