Originally, the Internet was a free, trustworthy, and peer-to-peer network where collaboration and open communication flourished, laying the foundation for a decentralized vision which we aim to restore today.
The Internet today has major problems: it’s less reliable than we think, spreads misinformation, lacks privacy and security, leaves 50% of the world poorly connected, and allows big tech to monitor and influence us. Ultimately, it enables the powerful to become even more powerful.
### 2000-Present
Web 4 is the next generation of the Internet. ThreeFold has been working on it for +10 years, with over $50 million in investment and more than 50,000 active virtual CPUs
Between 2000 and now, the Internet has lost its authenticity, becoming increasingly insecure and dominated by commercial interests, compromising the origin vision of a free and open digital space
Web 4 represents the natural evolution of the Internet, where humans and artificial intelligence collaborate to develop a new paradigm focused on [Augmented Collective Intelligence,](https://www.supermind.design/) aimed at advancing planetary well-being while making sure everyone has equal chances.
We're pioneering a new, autonomous cloud engine that is ultra-secure, green, scalable, and easy to use, delivering a fresh approach to the requirements of a global platform for augmented collective intelligence
## Mission
## Internet's Natural Progression
Our Mission is to create the best possible infrastructure layer for [Web 4.0](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/web4) with following benefits:
The Internet was always meant to be a peer-to-peer infrastructure.
* Sovereignty for countries, communities and people
* Data close to the users (in our own countries, no need to build datacenters)
* Data is ours and managed by us, we decide with who our data is shared and how it's used.
* Privacy & Security
* The cyber pandemic is real, a new approach is needed to protect our digital life.
* Reliability
* The current Internet is fragile and quite some algorithms used are outdated and not good enough for web4. Better alternatives are needed.
* Limit Centralization and Provide more Equality
* Half of the world doesn’t have access to decent Internet
### Web 1.0 & 2.0: Centralized Data
## Web4 Benefits to All
Web 1.0 & 2.0 was people-driven and in essence too way too complex. It was focused on centralized data and was power hungry. It was slow and unscalable. In short, it was too expensive for what it provided.
Web4 allows “everyone everywhere” to:
### Web 3.0 & Blockchain: Share Data
* Communicate, end-to-end encrypted across any link or medium, automatically finding the shortest path, even in disaster scenarios, ensuring messages remain private and unalterable.
* Securely share and store information with ease, scaling from one person to billions.
* Participate in private secure online meetings (video, voice, etc.).
* Publish content under a unique, decentralized domain name.
* Restore authenticity and determine which information can be trusted.
* Discover, analyze & find information with the help of a personal AI assistant
* Keep track of all interactions with your friends and leverage a personal AI to simplify your life.
* Develop apps for your community up to 10x faster than traditional systems.
* Pay a lot less than what you would do with existing systems.
The Web 3.0 & Blockchain was a necessary step and progression, provising solutions to money transfer and smart contracts. Though these services are indispensable and effective, they were and are in essence not usable to build a whole internet (TODO: new internet?). In its infrastructure, it was often too centralized and lacking sovereignty. This technology has its uses, but it is hard to scale and to make private. It also complicated a lot of work for developers
And soooo much more…
### Web 4.0 & Internet 2.0: Sovereign Data
## Our Web4 Implementation
Web 4.0 & Internet 2.0 lead to an ecosystem that is driven by human and also AI. It is thus an human-AI hybrid internet. This Internet can be sovereign & decentralized, while being totally secure and private. This phase of the Internet can scale indefinitely, is green, self-healing, cost effective and ultra-reliable.
ThreeFold delivers the plumbing layer for a better Internet which has the potential to achieve [Augmented Collective Intelligence](https://www.supermind.design/). Together with our partners we have all required parts to make it happen.
## Internet for All?
**Personal Level**
Internet is currently not accessible to all. Indeed, the Internet is only available to 50% of the world. As per Fortune, as of 2023, "Only 1 in 3 African women have access to the internet-compared with half of man." One of the main goals of ThreeFold is to enable Internet access to people worldwide.
* Agent Layer: every person owns a Personal Digital Assistant, managing their digital life.
* Identity Layer: strong reputation management, proof of authenticity, a global name system.
* Intelligence Layer: decentralized, personal AI systems for collaboration & augmented intelligence.
* Transaction Layer: fully integrated with Web3 systems and beyond e.g. mutual credit, …
## GDP Negative Internet
**Infrastructure Level**
Currently, for almost all countries, the Internet is GPD negative, meaning that the costs associated with building, maintaining, and securing the internet outweigh its economic benefits.
* Network Layer: redesign of how communication happens, private, more scalable, …
* Data Layer: redesign of how we share, distribute and store data
* Serverless Compute Layer: allow code to run close to where participants and data are.
* Cloud Layer: run VM’s, Containers as part of ecosystem (compatibility layer with Web2)
Sea cables are the mode of transportation for internet data. With most large data centers being located in a handful of countries, nations are losing numerous benefits.
**Physical Level**
This means that there is an amazingly high potential for countries to own their Internet infrastructure and systems. By implementing the technology developed by ThreeFold, the Internet GDP of countries can go from negative to positive.
* Routers: route between old and new web, create new secure communication channels.
* Nodes: deliver AI, Data, Compute to the ecosystem
* Phones: our personal device, capable of building a meshed network, offline support with catchup.
* Desktops: any current linux, windows, osx desktop seamlessly integrates
## ThreeFold Ecosystem
## A Unique Project
### ThreeFold Grid
To our knowledge, we are the world’s first project approaching a fully functional Web4 infrastructure that places priority on both the planet and people. Over the past decade, we’ve tackled complex challenges in areas such as data storage, secure overlay networking, and autonomous cloud security to bring this vision to life.
The ThreeFold Grid is the result of more than 10 years of work by a dedicated team of passionate indivuals. The grid offers a true decentralized AI, cloud and storage platform with end-to-end encrypted network as a viable and production-ready alternative to power hungry centralized datacenters. The grid provides self-healing capabilities, is ultra-sustainable and has an active community. Currently, 50 M USD has been invested in its ecosystem. The grid is present in more than 60 countries with thousands of nodes.
## It’s Happening Now
### The Team
* A group of people have made it their life's work to resolve this problem in a fundamental way.
* This team, with 6 M&A exits to date, have established +5 world records and have in an opensource, transparent movement demonstrated that an Autonomous Cloud can be created
(now comprising 30,000 vcpu’s across 60 countries, …)
* Among other highlights, this team has achieved good traction in East Africa, where governments have announced public support and first agreements have been signed, including for the establishment of a digital global freezone.
* The DEPIN movement (Decentralized Physical infrastructure), in which we are a participant, is a promising movement but is still in its infancy, it might be a good way to expand faster and provide liquidity and an ecosystem for the participants..
We build on a successful track record. Indeed, our team has built some of the world's most advanced internet and cloud technologies that were later acquired by some of the biggeset names in the space for a cumulative of +USD 600 million.
The base layer network of capacity is active, the technology is working in generation 3,
Read the [ThreeFold V3 Manual](https://manual.grid.tf/) to learn more about the ThreeFold Grid active in +50 countries.
Moreover, our team has set numerous world records, notably world records for web hosting (1997-2002), the first backup data duplication system in the world (2005), one of the first cloud systems (2008), the first multi-site consistent database (2010), the first unbreakable and distributed storage system (2012) and probably the first proof-of-block stake blockchain (2017).
## Public Launch
Our Web4 launch is the next phase in the evolution of ThreeFold, born from a $50 million USD investment by its founders and community. We are now ready to take the project to the next level.
### Our Values
The official announcement will be made on December 12, 2024.
At ThreeFold, we believe that being planet and people first, i.e. never do anything which is not respecting mother earth, and equality for everyone, are a vital combination to a thriving and beneficial ecosystem.
## Team
We believe in authenticity, to restore authenticity of people and information, in open-source, for healthcare, legal, software, education, in simplicity, as we believe that complexity is killing progress.
Our team has built some of the world’s most advanced Internet and cloud technologies that were later acquired by some of the biggest names in the space for a cumulative +USD 600 million and +44% IRR for our investors.
The current model has clear limitations. Too many many abstraction layers results in bad efficiency, performance loss, increased management costs, and scalability challenges.
## Actionable Items 12-12-24
### Limitations
ThreeFold launches December 12, 2024, the following will be possible.
There are actually many limitations to the current model. Those limitations are rooted in centralization and complexity.
**Buy a Hero**
- **Easily Hacked**
A Hero is your personal digital assistant, managing your digital life and enabling participation in the ThreeFold Grid. You also have the option to register your Hero in a Digital Freezone which gives you financial and legal independence (10 USD / month, 20 USD with Digital Freezone).
- Centralized data centers allow hackers to easily jeopardize data due to a single point of attack. Global cybersecurity damage crossed USD 6 trillion in 2022.
- **Not Scalable Enough**
**Buy a ThreeFold Phone**
- The current infrastructure has limits to how fast and how far it can expand, is not self-managing requires human oversight, Leaving +3 billion people unconnected.
- **Burden to the Planet**
Become part of the ThreeFold Grid by buying a ThreeFold Phone. Right now pricing starts at 500 EUR, in the future there will be other versions with less hardware specifications and lower cost.
- Current storage and compute systems are too power hungry. They now consume a large part of the world’s energy. They are a huge burden on the planet.
- **Susceptible in Conflicts**
**Become a Farming Pool**
- Centralized data centers are susceptible to attacks during conflict. An entire country's ICT systems can be jeopardized if their data centers are damaged or compromised.
- **Reliable Enough**
Build a community of Farmers, help them to get started, help them to acquire nodes and routers, define the rules for the farming pool (uptime, pricing levels, …)
- Current systems are too complex and centrally managed (by people) which leads to unsafe and suboptimal security and reliability. Networks are unreliable and not efficient.
- **Lack of Data Sovereignty**
**Become a Node or Network Farmer**
- Where a country’s data is stored is now critical to its sovereignty. Many nations are now looking for local storage to minimize manipulation by data-hosting countries.
- **Poor Use of Computer Hardware**
Register with a Farming pool and buy a Node or Router and host it in a chosen location. You will be rewarded INCA-G tokens for doing so.
- The cloud world does not utilize computer hardware well. Hardware advancements surged, while experiences and features stagnated, unable to match the pace.
### Superficial Fixes
**Become a Developer on top of the ThreeFold Grid, or learn more about the Internals**
While there are some partial solutions out there, most of the times, they never solve issues at the root. When this happens, abstract layers compound complexity.
Register for the first Hero Development Conference in Zanzibar (which is our HQ) which will be held in late January 2025. We will show how any application can be developed with up to 10x less effort and leading to ultimate reliability, security and scale. Escape the winter and learn about web 4.0 and how it can help you develop your future. Hurry to register, limited number of active participants (25). More of these conferences will be held in multiple spaces around the world in 2025.
- **Abstraction**
## Actionable Items Q1 2025
- IT companies prefer to integrate rather then to create novel solutions. Abstractions are needed to keep it all functioning but leads to complexity and inefficiency.
- **Mismatched Education**
- There is a focus on commercial technologies rather than groundbreaking innovations often driven by vendors.
- **Pain Killer Approach**
- Starts often prioritize quick solutions for immediate pain points instead of long-term innovation.
- **Keep On Creating Layers**
- Layering allows incremental development, compatibility, and minimizes disruptions, all the while making true change impossible.
## The Solution
**Become a INCA Token Owner (this will not be on website, is only through the network)**
ThreeFold literally offers an all-one solution to the current problems the world is facing in the IT and cloud world.
The ThreeFold Cooperative is selling 2m EUR worth of INCA (comes from conversion of existing TFT) at 0.05 EUR per INCA. Register your interest and mention the amount of INCA you want to acquire.
The first draw will happen 12-12-2024 or earlier if max reached. The price might change after that date.
The INCA launching price will be 0.1 EUR starting Jan 1-1-2025.
We are not dreaming of a better Internet, we are building it. To fix at the root all thoses issues, ThreeFold built a self-healing cloud, network and data platform.
This is implemented as a smart contract, min amount is 10k EUR max 100k EUR. The INCA will unlock with accelerated vesting (12 months cliff, 12 months unlock, acceleration in line to the price of INCA). The INCA tokens can be used for utilization on ThreeFold Grid without any limits at any time.
### The Layers of the Internet
**Become an INCA Owner if you are already a TFT holder**
The Internet can be seen as three main layers:
Convert your TFT into INCA, 1-1, your INCA’s will have the same properties as mentioned above.
Do note that the timing of your conversion gives you priority in liquidity events on the Liquidity Pool.
- Cloud & Data
## Concepts
- Network
- Applications
The ThreeFold Platform ensures that those 3 layers are properly taken care of. The ThreeFold self-healing system has the capability to restore the Internet to its original purpose: unlimited collaboration and creativity, authentic information sharing without publicity, addition-free social networks, and more.

- Mycelium can look for the shortest path, has a built-in naming & CDN (Content Delivery) system, can survive disaster and network cuts much more efficiently as is possible today.
## Trillion-Dollar Market
**ThreeFold Cooperative**
There is currently an untapped trillion-dollar cloud and cyber security market. ThreeFold has an antidote for the cyperpandemic. Indeed, trillions worth of USD are lost each year because of the ongoing cyberpandemic. Our solution offers a pro-active different approach to this problem.
* See above
The trillion USD AI and Edge workloads market needs a different engine which is more scalable, secure and reliable.
**Digital FreeZone**
Countries are looking for solutions which are sovereign and allow them to restore the huge imbalance created over the years.
* A secure regulated special economic Zone with full sovereignty and dispute resolution.
* Each Hero Owner can be a Resident in the Digital FreeZone.
* Such A Resident is a Legal Entity (sovereign) and can own assets, money,
collaborate, make agreements, sign contracts, do business …
The ThreeFold Platform can provide products and services for this trillion dollar market.
**INCA**

* There is more safety inside and flexibility in how rules are defined around liquidity providing.
> Coming soon. Project Mycelium Launch 12-12-24
## INCA Tokens
## Best of Both Worlds
INCA is the logical continuation of TF for the ThreeFold which is ThreeFold + much more.
The ThreeFold technology is the best of both worlds. You can get the benefits of both the protocols and the centralized data centers without any of the downsides.
Special:
The figure below compares the ThreeFold Platform with the protocols and centralized data centers.
* Everyone can convert from TFT to INCA, the timing in which is done will give them priority in liquidity on the Organic Liquidity Pool (see below). This conversion happens into the Liquidity Pool.
**INCA Protection**
## ThreeFold Platform
* Maximum 4 billion INCA
* Organic Liquidity Pool Concept in a Digital Freezone
* Organic Fair way in how to provide liquidity and merge the interests of Investors with the community.
* The Digital Freezone operational digital currency = GOLD (this is the in/out way)
* The GOLD linked to physical gold, can be bought using credit cards, debit, fiat, …
* There will be a INCA-G which is a generator token
* implemented as NFT with certain properties.
* time of vesting, …
* vesting can be related to price of INCA, or other criteria e.g. size of grid, …
* The INCA-G can be traded (transferred between users)
* INCA cannot be traded/transferred for a TBD period of time. All trades at start happen over the Organic Liquidity Pool.
* We should consider if there is a need for Centralized Exchanges, Marketmakers, and if when to use them. A lot of care needs to be taken in how to approach this.
* We will promote a secondary market for INCA-G
It all starts with the ThreeFold Platform. The ThreeFold Platform offers edge AI and a complete cloud platform. This enables anyone in the world to access the nearest ThreeFold nodes via the Mycelium network, always finding the shortest path.
**INCA Tokens are a real Utility**
You can deploy a ThreeFold node in your home, in a datacenter or in any commercial settings. ThreeFold nodes can host the ThreeFold AI assistant called Hero, helping you in everyday task and enterprises while always being secure, encrypted and private.
* INCA can be earned by hosting ThreeFold Nodes & Routers
* INCA can be earned by executing on tasks which really matter for ThreeFold
* INCA can be spent for the services on the ThreeFold Grid
The nodes within the grid, connected via the Mycelium network, enhanced by the Hero AI assistant create a complementary unbreakable Internet compatible with the current one. This means that you can harness the full potential of the current Internet and the culmulation of humankind knowledge via the ThreeFold Platform Engine privately and securely.
## INCA Rewards
INCA Rewards are done (always done as INCA-G) on a project per project basis and are defined by the ThreeFold Cooperative.The projects need to be accepted, per project we define specs of the INCA-G, deliverables & mission of the project, governance, etc.
Project Types:
* Farming (promote communities to put capacity in e.g. regions which need it most)
* Promotion Activities
* Development Activities
* Etc.
## Cooperatives
We believe Cooperatives are the best form to organize a project like this.
The ThreeFold Cooperative will be launched as soon as possible in the Digital FreeZone.
The Cooperative will own the following tasks:
* Protect the interests of the members
* Own the process for developing the project further from technical, promotion and expansion view.
* Manage the voting process and governance in general.
* Build a network of experts who can train trainers.
* Coordinate & Collaborate with partners, build an ecosystem.
* Define the products & services we as a community need.
* Manage the treasury,
The Cooperative helps establish Farming pools, which aggregate farmers.
Each farmer owns one of more Nodes or Routers and provides service in line to the specifications as defined on Farming Pool level. The Farmer earns rewards by providing capacity and gets a serious revenue cut from people paying for the services which run on top of their nodes & routers.
The ThreeFold Cooperative motivates different technical parties to run validators, which are our blockchain nodes which run our governance and reputation systems optionally some financial functions.
There will be contractual agreements in place between all participants to make sure it's transparent and understood by everyone what the nature of the relationships are.
The Validators earn INCA-G rewards.
Please note our Validator network is unique and runs on top of the ThreeFold Grid which means it should have high reliability and is only used for functions where a blockchain concept is really needed.
