+# ThreeFold grid inspired by nature
+

+
+- Just like we have trillions of cells in our body, so can billions of twins live next to each other
+- Each twin has memory, knows how to communicate, has knowledge, history, ...
+- Twins like cells cannot live without a body = TFGrid.
+
+## This approach scales for ever
+
+![](img/unlimited_3nodes.png)
+
+- There can be unlimited amounts of 3Nodes as well as Executors (Digital Twins and Web4)
+- There are no bottlenecks nor centralization points
+- Our peer2peer network technology takes care of routing and security issues between the Twins and the 3Nodes. The shortest paths is always looked for.
+
+
+## ThreeFold is compatible with the current IT world.
+
+While we push for a new possible, in the meantime our TFGrid infrastructure is compatible with the existing IT and internet ecosystem.
+
+![](img/worldview_executors_.jpg)
+
+- any workload which can run inside linux can run on top of our TFGrid
+- any web developer can create apps (experiences) on top of the Digital Twin
+- just like kwatth is used as a measurement of capacity for solar panels we have [CU](tfgrid:cloudunits), [SU](tfgrid:cloudunits) and [NU](tfgrid:cloudunits), which are called cloudunits.
+- TFT is required to buy CU,SU,NU

+# Internet Evolution to Web 4.0
+
+### Classic Internet
+
+![](img/bad_internet_growth2.jpg)
+
+Everything is structured as client-server model
+
+![](img/everything_client_server.jpg)
+
+- The servers run as applications inside huge datacenters using a lot of energy
+- Most of the processes in those servers are being repeated = highly inefficient
+- We exist 100x times, very inefficient
+- This leads to a lot of centralization -> insecure, as well as abuse of our data
+- This has also been called Web 1.0 and Web 2.0
+
+### Blockchain Based Web 3.0 Vision
+
+Blockchain decentralized the server, but in principle it remains a client - server model
+
+![](img/blockchain_is_clientserver.jpg)
+
+- It is definitely a step in the right direction but the paradigm is the same
+- We as users still exist in different systems, and have to deal with different applications (protocols)
+- These blockchains can be integrated, and through Web 2.0 concepts the web application can interact with multiple blockchains at the same time
+- This has also been called Web 3.0
+
+![](img/blockchain_based_distr_computer.jpg)
+
+The browser has now become our operating system running on javascript. All applications run in our browser and interact with multiple blockchains.
+
+> Please note we are 100% compatible with Web3 and we support this way of working completely. We see ourselves as a missing layer for Web 3.0.
+
+### Evolution To Peer2Peer
+
+![](img/compare_3_parts.jpg)
+
+### The Web 4.0 Digital Twin Vision
+
+In the Web 4.0 vision, the user has been put in the center (digital twin usecase)
+
+![](img/internet_evolution.jpg)
+
+- you in the center of your digital life
+- blockchain only needed for specific functions (money, identity, smart contracts, ...)
+- internet 10x more efficient
+- data sovereignity for all
+- an internet created by all for all = **be the internet**

+## The ThreeFold Grid Provides the IT energy
+
+![](img/executors_.jpg)
+
+Each 3Node is an IT Power generator. The TFGrid is the network of these 3Nodes.
+
+![](img/power_generation.jpg)
+
+Needs to be super simple, just like a solar panel generates electricity.
+
+![](img/power_generator_comparison.jpg)
+
+- The 3nodes do for internet what solar panels do for large scale electricity power plants.
+- They allow everyone to contribute to a new internet.
+- People investing in the 3nodes are called [farmers](farming_home).
+- Each farmer receives tokens called TFT for providing this IT capacity.
+- IT Capacity is storage, compute and network capacity for this upgraded internet.
+- The Twins need TFT to pay for the IT capacity they need.

+# Web 4.0 Digital Twin
+
+The ThreeFold web4 Digital Twin architecture puts the user in the center of its digital life, for that every user owns a digital twin running on the ThreeFold grid.
+
+![](img/digital_twin_to_browser.jpg)
+
+Every user uses any browser to access their digital twin. 
+
+### The twin has many capabilities:
+
+The twin has basic capabilities which are strongly version controlled, but contributions from the global community are more than welcome.
+
+![](img/twin_capabilities_.jpg)
+
+### Experiences
+
+Developers create Experiences using the twin capabilities, not apps. 
+
+Experiences re-use the same capabilities.
+
+This has huge benefits
+
+- a lot less development effort needed per experience
+- more sustainable (less energy loss)
+- easier for user, no duplication
+- more simplicy
+- more powerful

+## Integration to Web 2
+
+Each Digital Twin can talk to the classic internet and web 2 interfaces.
+
+
+![](img/web2_integration_w4.png)  
+ 
+
+Each Twin knows how to talk legacy protocols like SMTP, POP3, DNS, ... (in development) to allow seamless integration.
+
+In case more compute is required for a specific usecase like gaming, AI, data processing the twin can spin up compute & storage requirements on the TFGrid and as such become way more powerful for the time required.
+
+This leads to huge flexibility and efficiency.
+
+Any application can be developed on top and is compatible with existing development world.
