🇮🇳 How Would Decentralization of the Internet Help India? ThreeFold support team member Ashish wrote a piece recently about how the decentralization of the Internet would (will) help his home country. Read it here! This is a great example of how anybody can get involved in the communication around ThreeFold. Remember: a decentralized movement is all about decentralized action & participation. The more the members of the community talk about ThreeFold from our own unique perspectives, the more exposure & momentum we gain.

📚 How To Talk About Deploying on ThreeFold Thanks to Drew for creating this great resource for anyone in the community that wants to get the word out about deploying workloads on ThreeFold.

💫 Here's our End of Year Review! What a year it has been! "2022 was a year marked by significant steps on technology, big strides towards decentralization, a commitment to our values (planet, people, and authenticity), time well-spent on the ground, and strong contributions from the community." In our 2022 Review, we go over the progress made within the ThreeFold ecosystem across different arenas: Grid, Farming, Technology, Decentralization, TFT, Partnerships, Team on the Ground, Mastodon, the Fediverse & ThreeFold, and Q4 Community Calls. Thanks to you all for being part of this journey, and Happy New Year! ❤️

📈 End of the Year Grid Growth As reported in Scott’s final grid stats update of the year, 2022 showed growth in both number of online nodes and utilization of that hardware. Via Scott, “Even with the growth of the Grid, we have seen utilization growth outpace it such that total utilization has also increased in percentage terms, though a bit less dramatically than the absolute numbers. Here’s to another year of growth for ThreeFold in 2023 🥂” Thanks to the community of farmers and grid users for your participation in 2022!

📣 December’s ThreeFold Product Updates Very exciting progress is being made on TF Grid 3.8.0, expected to be released in a couple of weeks! Some of the awaited features & components explored are the TF Grid monitoring solution, Typescript client update, TF Dashboard upgrades, and TF Playground improvements, amongst others! 🔥 Find the full update here for more details.

📚 A New Financial System for “Our World” ThreeFold co-founder Kristof wrote a Medium article about the problems of today’s financial systems and his thoughts on building better, more balanced systems for the benefit of our planet and all of us. Take a look at the summary and discuss here or you can read the full article.

🤝 Built on ThreeFold: Meet Zonaris Started by the Green Edge team, Zonaris is a decentralized node deployment platform built on top of the ThreeFold Grid. “We host your nodes on reliable, decentralised architecture. We don't believe Web3 nodes should be hosted on Web2 architecture owned and controlled by a handful of trillion-dollar companies … Existing NaaS ("node-as-a-service") companies use the old AWS/Azure services for their nodes which undercuts a central plank of Web3, namely, decentralisation.” The team is hoping to hit 1,000 Streamr nodes on Zonaris soon, driving utilization on the grid – and will also be offering nodes of other projects in the coming months.

🗓 Save the (new) date for our Weblets Community Call! The call focusing on how to build (and monetize) Weblets has been rescheduled due to our fellow community members celebrating Thanksgiving on the 24th. Instead, the call will be held on Tuesday November 29th, from 17:00 - 18:00 CET. We hope this makes it easier for you all to join us and learn more about this topic! You may ask any questions and find more details here. See you there!

🗓 Save the date for our Weblets Community Call! The call around how to build (and monetize) Weblets will be held on Thursday November 24th, from 17:00 - 18:00 CET. Join us then to learn more about this topic! You may ask any question and find more details here. See you there!

🗓 Vote for scheduling the Weblets Community Call The next Community Call will be focused on building (and monetizing) Weblets, and will be the fifth in a series of ongoing calls to further inform, involve, and empower the ThreeFold community. With the aim of boosting the project’s decentralization, we want to involve the community in scheduling the community calls. Therefore, we propose a few time slots YOU can choose from. Submit your preference here! Please vote by tomorrow, Friday November 18th, 12:00 CET
