# Any User

In our **Web4 enabled Internet**, powered by ThreeFold, **normal users become active participants**. 

By using a **ThreeFold Phone** or apps hosted on the **ThreeFold Grid**, you can create and control your own **digital life**. 

Your data stays private, stored securely on a decentralized infrastructure, while you access personalized apps and services tailored to your needs. With ThreeFold, you’re empowered to own your digital identity. You can interact in peer-to-peer ecosystems and contribute to a more sustainable, user-driven Internet.

We tap into other projects to make the experience complete:

- **BTC** for payments (Bitcoin)
- **Morpheus AI** for decentralized AI
- **Volla Phone** for secure phone

We are also a first-class host for the following apps:

- **Nostr** for social network app
- **Peertube** for youtube alternative
- **Matrix** as chat protocol
- **Holochain** for Web4 blockchain capabilities (planned)
- And more?
  - Let us know if you want other apps as well!

ThreeFold provides the secure network, cloud and data layer.
