  ## What We Do

  ThreeFold can be used by any Web2, Web3, AI, or Edge IT workload.

  <br>

  We are currently running V3.16.0, a large-scale Proof-of-Concept Network, while simultaneously preparing for V4.0.0, our upcoming production-ready release. This will deliver a fully operational infrastructure built around three core pillars:


{{ horizontal_features(

  title_1="Data",
  point_1_1="Private, scalable, and autonomous—designed for AI-native environments.",
  point_1_2="Distributed and decentralized, offering 10x efficiency and unprecedented security over existing cloud solutions.",
  point_1_3="User-centric, unbreakable storage system ensuring redundancy & privacy.",
  point_1_4="Geo-aware for compliance & data localization.",


  title_2="Network",
  point_2_1="End-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer communication—no intermediaries.",
  point_2_2="Shortest-path routing—intelligent traffic optimization for latency reduction and cost efficiency.",
  point_2_3="Self-sustaining and censorship-resistant network.",
 


  title_3="Compute",
  point_3_1="Self-healing compute fabric—automatically redistributes workloads to healthy nodes. Fault tolerance is achieved via live migration of workloads, maintaining service availability. The Grid supports a peer-to-peer (P2P) AI compute and storage marketplace, allowing individuals and enterprises to monetize excess compute and GPU resources.",
  point_3_2="No reliance on hyperscalers—agents dynamically manage resources, ensuring uptime and resilience.",
  point_3_3="Optimized for AI & Web3—ideal for running autonomous applications, LLMs, and metaverse infrastructure. The Grid is designed to support AI inference and training at the edge.",
  point_3_4="ThreeFold Grid V3 uses ZOS (Zero-OS), a highly optimized, minimalistic OS designed specifically for stateless, immutable, and self-healing workloads. ZOS runs on bare metal and supports:",
  point_3_5="MicroVMs & Containerized Workloads (Kubernetes, Docker, Firecracker).",
  point_3_6="AI & Machine Learning Workloads (LLM inference, federated learning).",
  point_3_7="Web3 & Blockchain Nodes."

) }}
