# 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're not here to chase hype or speculation. 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 - this is not vaporware
|
|
- **Open-source** technology you can verify: [threefold.info/tech](https://threefold.info/tech)
|
|
- **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
|
|
|
