# Energy Efficient
Below are some of the ways in which ThreeFold achieves energy efficiency as compared to traditional models.

In addition, a decentralized peer-to-peer infrastructure which finds the shortest path between end points is by nature energy-efficient. Data needs to travel a much shorter distance.
> Depending on the use case the ThreeFold approach can lead to 10x energy savings.
