ThreeFold has developed a highly efficient infrastructure layer for a new Internet.

Providing Internet & cloud capacity is as easy as getting a node and connecting it to the Internet.

A lot of capacity has been deployed in the world, hundreds of ThreeFold farmers acquired a computer and connected it to the Internet, as such they use our operating system to provide Internet capacity to the world. Farmers can buy pre-built node or build their own via our DIY guides.

There are multiple ways in which people can interact with our platform, as a developer, a sysadmin, IT expert, etc.

All technology is developed by ThreeFold and is opensource, this technology is being used for the ThreeFold grid (see the [ThreeFold Website](https://www.threefold.io)) which is the deployment of a new Internet which is green, safe and owned by all of us.

This document explains how ThreeFold is the missing layer for the full web2, web3 and blockchain world.

This leads to a system which is highly scalable.
