Built for Everyone by Everyone, Everywhere
ThreeFold is a fully operational, decentralized internet infrastructure – deployed locally, scalable globally, and owned and powered by the people.
ThreeFold is a Decentralized Infrastructure Layer for The Internet
We have built a foundational platform that runs directly on bare metal, offering a scalable solution focused on the essential building blocks of the Internet and Cloud: compute, data, and network.

- COMPUTE
- Bare Metal
- Operating System
- Zero OS, an efficient and secure operating system, runs directly on the hardware – enabling an autonomous cloud.
- Can run any Web2, Web3, or AI workload at the edge of the Internet, with more scalability and reliability.
- DATA
- Unbreakable Data
- Data cannot be compromised and always remains private, owned by you. A scalable system, to the planetary level.
- Can be distributed and stored in ways which are at least 10x more efficient and orders of magnitude more secure and reliable.
- NETWORK
- Unbreakable Network
- End-to-end encrypted overlay network, always looking for the shortest possible path between participants.
- Logical Internet address securely linked to a private key. Unlimited scale and performance optimizations.

As we expand, we may need millions of nodes to support this growing ecosystem to build a truly decentralized and resilient infrastructure
How It Works
At the base, nodes form the physical foundation. These are distributed computers that provide processing power, storage, and networking capabilities. Together, they create a global, community-powered infrastructure.
Until now, anyone could deploy nodes from their home or office and earn rewards simply for hosting and take part in a decentralized alternative to corporate-owned data centers. In return for their contributions, participants earn rewards. We call this process “farming.”
Starting this summer, farming is evolving. With the launch of the ThreeFold Marketplace, rewards will be based on actual usage. This shift unlocks new commercial potential and supports a more sustainable and dynamic decentralized network.
- 1. HOST A NODE
-
All you need to get started is a modern computer, electricity and network. Once booted with Zero OS, a computer becomes a ThreeFold Node.
- 2. OFFER CAPACITY
-
The capacity of the node gets verified, registered and secured on the ThreeFold Blockchain. Farmers can then list their resources on the ThreeFold Marketplace, making them available directly to users.
- 3. EARN REWARDS
-
Farmers earn rewards when their resources are used through the Marketplace, enabling a fair and transparent peer-to-peer economy.
Anything That Runs on Linux Can Run on ThreeFold
The new internet infrastructure can be used by any Web2, Web3, AI, or Edge IT workload – enabling a world of possibilities.
ThreeFold Cloud
ThreeFold is open for developers and system administrators. Deploy virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes clusters, web gateways, and more on top of a best-effort decentralized open source cloud.
Join the Movement to Build a New Internet
There are many ways to be part of our mission to create a more open, autonomous, and interconnected digital world. Farming is just one pillar of our ecosystem.

A Self-Healing Internet Infrastructure
Scalable globally, Green, Unbreakable & Secure
More Resilient, More Powerful,
More Diverse With You
Unlike the corporate internet, where users are the product, in the new internet, participants are the owners and beneficiaries.
By participating, you're not just using the technology, you're also helping to build a digital world that protects privacy, promotes fairness, and returns control to the people.
