We are Building a New Internet
A system built to scale to a planetary level, compatible with AI, Cloud, Web2, and Web3. Capable to provide 100% uptime, and enables any machine and human to communicate over the shortest path.
That's ThreeFold's Web4
A Global Community
With ThreeFold, individuals, organizations, communities, countries, and network states have the potential to deploy their own sovereign infrastructure. Our Proof of Concept Network with 56,000 vCPUs is operational for years.
Version 3.15 is live on Mainnet.

- 24.73 PB
- CORES

As we together roll out Web4 we might need millions of nodes,
this will establish a truly decentralized and resilient infrastructure.
Powering the ThreeFold Grid Together
Regardless of technical expertise, anyone can now provide data, network, and cloud resources to where they’re needed most while earning rewards for their contributions. We call this process "farming”.
- 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 and registered in the ThreeFold Blockchain, securing access to a decentralized autonomous cloud for users and communities.
- 3. EARN REWARDS
-
After your node is set up and verified, you’ll be rewarded for the capacity that you provide to the ThreeFold Grid.
ThreeFold is the Infrastructure Layer of Web 4
ThreeFold is not a protocol. We’ve developed foundational technology that runs directly on bare metal (the hardware).
ThreeFold is likely the only active project with a truly scalable solution addressing the Internet and Cloud’s core components: Data, Cloud, and Network.
Discover How It Works- 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.
- Autonomous Cloud
- Self-healing and self-driving cloud based on an efficient and secure operating system runs directly on the hardware.
- Can run any Web 2, Web 3, or AI workload at the edge of the Internet, with more scalability and reliability.
- 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.
WEB4
The Next Evolution of the Internet
Web4 is the natural progression of the Internet, where humans and artificial intelligence work together to create a new paradigm designed to promote planetary well-being and ensure equal opportunities for all. Users are in 100% control of their data and no centralized services are needed.
Blockchain was the first step to Web3.
ThreeFold is the next step to Web4.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, ThreeFold is a complementary Internet and works alongside the current Internet. It allows you to continue accessing and interacting with the current Internet.
The Internet used to be a peer to peer network, but has become fragile and too centralized. There are so many problems with the current Internet, such as authenticity, privacy, security, and sustainability that we believe a fundamental new approach is needed.
TFT is our token which was used to build generation 1, 2 and 3 of the ThreeFold Grid of capacity. TFT is the reward for our loyal community. There can never be more than 1 billion TFT. We are now building generation 4 of the ThreeFold Grid of capacity and we need a new token to build this new generation. There will never be more than 3 billion INCA. Our partners will start selling new ThreeFold Nodes end Nov 2024 with a new reward scheme and ready to grow to millions of nodes.
You can participate by becoming a farmer, a user, a partner or by developing a web4 app. Provide capacity to the ThreeFold Grid, Use capacity, build solutions, develop applications for Web4, and many more.
Web 4 represents the natural evolution of the Internet, where humans and artificial intelligence collaborate to develop a new paradigm aimed at advancing planetary well-being while making sure everyone has equal chances. 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 is designed to be secure and private by default. We use end-to-end encryption to protect your data and ensure that only you have access to your data.
ThreeFold grid can be used to host any web2, web3 and web4 (future) workload. For more details see our ebook
Individuals, businesses, and organizations who want to be sovereign and have full control over their data and applications. Security is a very big problem today, Technology as used by ThreeFold has the potential to resolve this if used properly. We are building a channel of solution providers and integrators who want to build on top of ThreeFold.
