# Welcome to ThreeFold

Welcome to your **gateway to ThreeFold** - a decentralized, sustainable internet platform built by and for the people.

We're not a typical Web3 project. We are here to **build a better internet** — one that's truly decentralized, sustainable, and owned by its users.

## What You'll Do Here

This guide will help you:

1. **🌾 Become a Farmer** - Deploy a node and earn rewards for contributing capacity
2. **🔗 Use Mycelium Network** - Easy app for secure device connectivity (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows)
3. **☁️ Deploy on Mycelium Cloud** - Run Kubernetes clusters on the decentralized ThreeFold Grid

## Why ThreeFold?

### Real Technology, Real Impact

- **7+ years** of development
- **Open-source** technology
- **Working infrastructure** serving real workloads today
- **Decentralized cloud** that empowers individuals and communities

### Sustainable Economics

- **1 billion token** fixed supply
- **10% of all revenue burned** - making TFT scarcer over time
- **Dual-token model**: TFT (tradable) + Cloud Credits (stable utility)
- **Real product adoption**, not promises

### Our Mission

We're building a decentralized cloud infrastructure that:

- Protects user privacy and data sovereignty
- Reduces environmental impact through efficient hardware use
- Empowers communities with local compute and storage
- Creates economic opportunities for infrastructure providers (farmers)

## What Makes Us Different

### We Acknowledge Reality

- The current TFT token doesn't yet fully reflect our long-term vision
- Building a real decentralized cloud from scratch takes time
- We're now in the final stages of **TFGrid 4.0**

### We're Committed to Success

- **Launch of TFGrid 4.0**: Q1 2026
- **Target**: Over 1 million nodes within 5 years
- **Partnerships** with enterprises and governments who share our mission
- **Continuous improvement** in communication, documentation, and community support

### What We Don't Promise

- ❌ No "get rich quick" schemes
- ❌ No guaranteed CEX listings
- ❌ No hype - just real products solving real problems
- ✅ We'll make mistakes - but we'll learn, improve, and persist
