## A New Phase for ThreeFold

For years, ThreeFold has been quietly and steadily developing its revolutionary technology on mainnet, with a solid foundation of mature infrastructure that is now ready to take the next leap forward. As we embark on an exciting new phase in our journey, it's essential to understand why this technological milestone presents a tremendous opportunity for growth and expansion.

ThreeFold has spent years perfecting its innovative technology, laying the groundwork for a decentralized internet that is accessible to all. However, despite these significant advancements, our market capitalization and liquidity have remained relatively low compared to the immense potential of our platform.

We are now entering a new phase of the ThreeFold Grid with the Grid 4.0 and Project INCA. As we transition into this next phase, we're enabling commercial entities to seamlessly build on the grid. This phase has the aim to unlock unprecedented growth opportunities for ThreeFold stakeholders.

Our ambitious vision for Grid 4.0 represents a harmonious convergence of cutting-edge technologies: a quantum-safe network and storage infrastructure that ensures the integrity of sensitive data; a decentralized platform that empowers anyone to become their own cloud service provider, breaking free from centralized monopolies; and a robust base layer for web 2, 3, and DePIN (Decentralized Internet of People) that fosters seamless interaction between diverse networks. By integrating these components, ThreeFold's Grid 4.0 creates a secure, inclusive, and highly scalable internet ecosystem that truly reflects the needs of a global community.

As you delve deeper into this ebook, you'll gain a profound understanding of ThreeFold's vision, technology, and the vast potential waiting to be unlocked. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we push beyond the boundaries of what's possible with Grid 4.0 and Project INCA.
