A new foundation for digital freedom
In this free webinar, you will discover how the decentralized internet, built on ThreeFold technology, works and why it is being embraced by more and more people, organizations, and governments worldwide.
This technology is neither new nor experimental: it is a robust network, active in more than 50 countries, developed by the pioneers behind the first data centers. They saw how the internet was losing its original promise and built an alternative that works fundamentally differently: decentralized, sustainable, and in the hands of the users themselves.
More and more individuals and organizations are already using it for data storage, hosting, applications, and even AI. You too can contribute to it and benefit from it. We'll explain it to you, without jargon, so you understand how it works and why it matters.

Discover how internet traffic is no longer managed by a few large companies, but by a global network of mini-data centers, small boxes (nodes) owned by users who themselves hold the keys to their data.
Discover the challenges of the current internet, from behavioral manipulation and data breaches to major cloud outages and the enormous ecological impact of mega data centers. The decentralized internet offers a concrete alternative to these problems.
Learn how the ThreeFold Internet is already active in more than 50 countries, through thousands of mini-data centers (nodes) that together form a decentralized network. They provide capacity for storage, computing power, and communication, without central control. And discover how you, as a co-owner, are rewarded for your contribution.
Learn how everything that runs on the internet today, from websites and cloud storage to applications and video calls, also works on the decentralized ThreeFold internet. Discover the most common applications and how you can use them via your laptop or smartphone, exactly as you're used to.
Discover if ThreeFold is right for you. Perhaps because you want more control over your personal data and privacy. Or because you are looking for digital sovereignty for your organization. Or because you want to help build a new kind of internet: open, fair, and in the hands of the user.
In this webinar, you'll discover how you can contribute to building the network, for example by running a node and making capacity available. You'll also learn how to use it through existing services and products, or by developing your own applications. All this without requiring any prior technical knowledge, with a clear overview of your options.
Discover how the decentralized internet is gradually reducing dependence on Big Tech and contributing to digital autonomy for everyone. The more people participate, the stronger and more stable the network becomes.
Get a glimpse into the groundbreaking technology of the near future, such as Mycelium: an encrypted connection layer that allows devices to communicate directly with each other, without an intermediary.
