# Who is behind the project ? # About Us
## who created the project ## People
A group of passionate people who want to build a new foundational layer for an better working internet, more like the Internet was originally intended. We are a group of passionate people who want to build a new foundational layer for a better working internet, more like how the Internet was originally intended to be.
The project was started by some Internet & Cloud veterans who now want to handover to a much more decentralized environment. The project was started by some Internet & Cloud veterans who now want to handover to a much more decentralized environment.
More than 1000 farmers made this project possible, we are supper grateful for all their support. More than 1000 farmers made this project possible and we are supper grateful for all their support.
## the project mission ## The Project's Mission
- we help others to create any web2 or web3 solution ThreeFold Grid (TFGrid) is a foundational layer which can be used by any web2/3 project. It empowers individuals requiring cloud resources such as network, GPU, CPU, and storage to leverage its capabilities for their projects. We help others to create any web2 or web3 solution on our grid.
- TFGrid is a foundational layer which can be used by any web2/3 project
- enable everyone to build on top of TFGrid who needs cloud capacity (network, gpu, cpu, storage, ...)
## the project purpose ## The Project's Purpose
- deliver a new infrastructure layer to build a new internet on top off The purpose is to deliver a new infrastructure layer to build a new internet on top of. This layer is sovereign, more scalable, peer-to-peer and co-owned. The project delivers network, compute and storage to anyone who needs it for their own usecases.
- this infra layer is sovereign, more scalable, peer2peer, co-owned, ... [See the high level tech description.](tech:key_innovations.md)
- project delivers network, compute, storage constructs to work with anyone who needs it for their own usecases

- developers for CI/CD - CI/CD developers
- countries to deploy their own internet - Countries: to deploy their own internet
- DePIN movement - The DePIN movement

## what has project achieved ## The Projects Key Achievements To Date
- grid - The ThreeFold Grid: connected across ±60 countries by independent people and organizations called ThreeFold farmers, live and usable in its third generation technology
- country - Partnerships with the governments of Tanzania, to deploy physical infrastructure and introducing coding academies and innovation hubs across the country, and Zanzibar, to deploy physical infrastructure locally and introduce a digital free zone
- community - An extensive community of 1000+ farmers and several thousand others token holders, grid users, and supporters / advocates of the project
- ... - Our strategic partnerships with key DePIN players: more will be announced soon.
## how biased is the project
- not biased, we are tech platform ## Values
- keep [values simple](values:planet_people_first) but strong
- project intent is to clearly want to explain what the capabilities are of our tech and let everone decide for themselves what to do with it - Our core [values](values:planet_people_first) are simple and strong
- We are fundamentally a tech platform and are therefore not biased
- The project's intent is to clearly explain our tech's capabilities and let everyone decide for themselves what to do with it
## Messaging ## Messaging
- project is here to make it easy for everyone to play their role (see above) - The project believes in an internet where everyone can communicate freely and own their own data
- project believe very much in an internet where everyone can communicate freely, owns their own data, ... - The project wants to help others to become truly decentralized (which is not the case with the current Internet)
- project wants to help others to really become decentralized (which is not the case today) - The project wants to help countries to have their own sovereign Internet
- project wants to help governments to have their own Internet - The project wants to help data center providers to build improved data centers
- project wants to help datacenter providers to build datacenters in other ways
