Dear open source community, meet ThreeFold
Dear open source community,
I am reaching out to share with you an exciting project: ThreeFold. A decentralized, open source, privacy- & security-focused internet infrastructure that connects users directly with local Internet capacity provided by farmers.
Our co-founders have deep experience in Internet & Cloud. With the belief that the centralized Internet is not the way forward, they came together to rebuild a new Internet from scratch, decentralized, for and by the people.
ThreeFold unlocks a participatory model for the Internet, whereby people can connect hardware to electricity and a network connection and provide Internet capacity for the communities around them while earning a reward in the form of TFT (ThreeFold Token).
While ThreeFold uses the blockchain for some aspects, we do not consider ourselves a blockchain project. And while ThreeFold has its own token, TFT, we do not consider ourselves a crypto project. Blockchain and digital currencies are tremendous technological developments that bring value to what we are building, but they do not define us. We want to set ourselves apart from the manipulation and transparencies of the crypto industry which have led to massive ups and downs. Instead we are building a sustainable and balanced economic model for the benefit of all in the ThreeFold community.
At ThreeFold, we believe that the future of the web lies in decentralization, and we are committed to building technologies that put users in control of their own data and enable a more open and transparent internet. We are a project based on the values of putting our planet and people-first, and authenticity. The actions we take must benefit the planet and the people around us. And without authenticity, we have no solid foundation from which to start. This extends out to who we choose to collaborate with. We believe that the fight for a better Internet is inseparable from the fight for a better world.
Our project is still a work in progress, but we would love to get your feedback and input as we continue to develop it. We believe that the open source community has a critical role to play in shaping the future of the web, and we would be honored to have you join us on this journey.
If you are interested in learning more about our project and how you can get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be happy to share more details and hear your thoughts.
In the meantime, here are some useful links to get acquainted with our project:

- KomoD 4y agoThis made me laugh: > While ThreeFold uses the blockchain for some aspects, we do not consider ourselves a blockchain project. And while ThreeFold has its own token, TFT, we do not consider ourselves a crypto project. Also pretty clear you copy-pasted the post from elsewhere because there are no links, just text saying "Website Blogs Forum"
- Vicci20 4y agoHey! Thanks for your reply! What I mean by that is that while we have blockchain & crypto as supporting parts of the project, these are not the primary focuses of the project. Your feedback is good though, and I'll make sure to make that clearer in the future. I am sharing this open letter on a few forums to share about the project, so yes, I did copy/paste this message! But thanks for letting me know about the links, I'll share them in a comment below.
