All people deserve privacy, to feel safe, and to be provided with equal chances to succeed – in the physical world and in the digital world as well.

☕️ Watch the TF Grid 3.12 Call Recording Earlier this week, team and community gathered to discuss TF Grid 3.12, a proposal to further the decentralization of ThreeFold and improve our tokenomics. It was a productive call and we will have another one soon (date and time TBA). If you would like to voice your input still, it's not too late! Please take a look at the recording and the notes from the call and get involved on the forum. Have a great weekend all.

A decentralized Internet infrastructure is just the start. On top of it we are building and together must build new alternative digital tools. Not to addict nor manipulate nor distract – rather to inform, support, and empower.

🌌 The Threefold Ecosystem 🌿 Immerse yourself in a world of limitless possibilities. From peer-to-peer cloud computing to blockchain services, #ThreeFold offers tools to reshape how we connect, compute, and collaborate. Welcome to a sustainable and decentralized digital realm!🌐

Today’s Internet is fundamentally flawed. And we don’t believe in band-aid solutions. So, we built a new decentralized Internet infrastructure from the ground up – by people, for people – the foundation for a better digital tomorrow.

🛝 Phasing Out the Old Playground The team is looking for the community’s input on phasing out the old ThreeFold Playground in favor of the new and improved version. If this is relevant for you, please share your thoughts on the forum. Thanks in advance!

ThreeFold is all of ours.

⏰ Reminder: TF Grid 3.12 Proposal Please be reminded that a proposal for TF Grid 3.12 has been circulated and we are asking for the community's feedback. We'll have a focused call (link here) this Wednesday at 5pm CEST for those who would like to take part in the discussion to finalize the parameters! Thanks to those who have voiced their opinions in the forum and the doc so far.

Most countries in the developing world don’t have “the Internet.” They have a cable to Europe or North America or China, where all of their data is stored. A truly equal Internet necessitates locally-owned infrastructure in all parts of the world. 🌍🌏🌎

Digital rights are human rights.

🗓 TF Grid 3.12 Review Call Next Wednesday We're pleased to announce the review call for the proposed TF Grid 3.12 update for next Wednesday August 9 at 5pm CEST / 11am EDT.

🌍 African Regenerative Cities Summit Over the past four days, we have had the pleasure to host the African Regenerative Cities Summit in Zanzibar, Tanzania – uniting top innovators and investors supporting human flourishing, with a special focus on science and technology that will lay the foundation for Africa’s future. A lot has happened over the course of the summit, including a surprise visit today from an extremely special guest. Generally, we have been blown away by the participants and the projects they are working on, and we warmly welcome many of them now into the ThreeFold community. We'll be sharing more in the coming days.

🗓 Grid 3.10 to Mainnet on Monday July 3 After a successful GEP vote last week, the team will migrate Grid version 3.10 to Mainnet.

🔑 TFT Now on Ethereum (Too!) We are pleased to share that a TFT bridge from Stellar to Ethereum is now up and running. We still need to set up some initial liquidity in order to start swapping between TFT and ETH (or other currencies running on Ethereum). This will make it super simple for anybody on the Ethereum network to buy TFT. Exciting news! More to be shared soon, including instructions for how to provide liquidity. Please follow this thread to stay updated.

📜 TF Grid 4 Series on the Forum We held a community call a few days ago to discuss TF Grid 4.0. While we encourage you to watch the full recording to catch up with everything, we thought it would be beneficial to share a series of posts diving into specific topics explored during the call: 💡 What’s New with Grid 4.0 💡 Why Version 4.0 is Needed 💡 How TFT Remains Relevant in Version 4.0 💡 3Bot: Hello, Old Friend 💡 Version 4.0 Farming Model & Tokenomics As a reminder, ThreeFold is all of ours. The current plan for Grid 4 is open to feedback from the community. If you’d like to provide input, please join the Grid 4 Telegram Group.

We have a responsibility to ensure that the technology we create is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or background.

🍿 Watch April's Community Call on TF Grid 4! For those who couldn't make it yesterday or would like a second look, please find the recording of the call here. We went through TF Grid 4.0, which brings forward the Internet of Internets model, including topics such as why Grid 4 is needed for ThreeFold to scale, what’s new in version 4, why TFT remains important, the updated farming / tokenomics model, and how you can participate. Thanks to Weynand, Kristof, and Scott for sharing, and to all those who were able to join live. Please note the content of this call is for information purposes only and is subject to change as the project evolves.
