Every month, ThreeFold shares key developments within their decentralized ecosystem. In this article, we summarize the September update for you. Why? Because these developments matter to anyone who values privacy, ownership, and a fairer digital infrastructure. We explain it clearly, without technical jargon, so you know exactly what’s happening and why it matters to you.

1. The technology behind the network keeps getting stronger

ThreeFold has been building a fairer internet for years. In September, important steps were taken to make the network’s backend even more reliable and scalable:

ThreeFold’s Kubernetes-based platform, “KubeCloud,” was further developed. This technology ensures that digital services continue running smoothly even during high traffic or if one or more nodes fail or go offline temporarily. It provides stability and continuity for applications running on the decentralized internet, all without users noticing a thing.

The “Mycelium Network,” which enables secure communication between nodes, received new features for enhanced security and key management. This means data can be exchanged more safely between participants.

The data protection system was also upgraded: “Quantum Safe Storage” was designed to withstand the computational power of future quantum computers. Your data remains protected—now and in the future.

What this means for you:
You don’t need to be a tech expert to benefit from these improvements. These updates make it possible to use or run services on a network that is stable, secure, and future-proof—without relying on Big Tech.

2. Serious market interest is emerging

There’s growing evidence that the market is ready for an alternative internet:
More than five major organizations have expressed interest in purchasing capacity from the ThreeFold network, companies looking to replace their current cloud infrastructure with this more transparent and sustainable alternative.

A successful funding round was completed in Dubai, allowing the network to scale further.
Meanwhile, the team is working on new partnerships and larger investments to roll out the network globally.

What this means for you:
ThreeFold is no longer a fringe project. There is real interest from businesses and investors. That means: more availability, more support, and more assurance that the network will remain relevant. If you get involved now, you’ll be part of a growing movement from the ground up.

3. New rewards: from automatic issuance to real value

Until now, ThreeFold’s digital token (TFT) was minted automatically, new tokens were regularly created and distributed to node owners (also called farmers) who contributed computing power. But starting November 2025, that changes:

The automatic issuance (minting) of tokens will stop. Instead, participants will be rewarded based on actual usage, meaning, if your node is actively delivering services, you’ll receive fair compensation for it.
A reservation system will also be introduced, allowing users to pre-book capacity. This gives node operators more income predictability.

What this means for you:
If you’re considering joining as a node owner, or already own a node (v3), you’ll still earn rewards for your contribution to the decentralized internet. The nature of the reward will change, shifting from capacity-based to usage-based. The goal is for rewards to remain at least as high as before, potentially even higher.
More details will be shared soon. Of course, we’ll keep you updated.

In summary

In September 2025, ThreeFold made more tangible progress toward building a fairer internet. The technical foundation has been strengthened with upgrades to KubeCloud, Mycelium Network, and quantum-safe storage. At the same time, market interest is rising, with multiple major players lined up to adopt the network, and a successful funding round in Dubai signaling growing confidence. The reward system for node owners is also evolving; participants will now be compensated based on real-world usage instead of automatic token issuance.

ThreeFold is moving from promise to practice, delivering concrete value for users and contributors alike.
