It was focused on centralized data and was power hungry. It was slow and unscalable. In short, it was too expensive for what it provided. + +### Web 3.0 & Blockchain: Share Data + +The Web 3.0 & Blockchain was a necessary step and progression, provising solutions to money transfer and smart contracts. Though these services are indispensable and effective, they were and are in essence not usable to build a whole internet (TODO: new internet?). In its infrastructure, it was often too centralized and lacking sovereignty. This technology has its uses, but it is hard to scale and to make private. It also complicated a lot of work for developers + +### Web 4.0 & Internet 2.0: Sovereign Data + +Web 4.0 & Internet 2.0 lead to an ecosystem that is driven by human and also AI. It is thus an human-AI hybrid internet. This Internet can be sovereign & decentralized, while being totally secure and private. This phase of the Internet can scale indefinitely, is green, self-healing, cost effective and ultra-reliable. + +## Internet for All? + +Internet is currently not accessible to all. Indeed, the Internet is only available to 50% of the world. As per Fortune, as of 2023, "Only 1 in 3 African women have access to the internet-compared with half of man." One of the main goals of ThreeFold is to enable Internet access to people worldwide. + +## GDP Negative Internet + +Currently, for almost all countries, the Internet is GPD negative, meaning that the costs associated with building, maintaining, and securing the internet outweigh its economic benefits. + +Sea cables are the mode of transportation for internet data. With most large data centers being located in a handful of countries, nations are losing numerous benefits. + +This means that there is an amazingly high potential for countries to own their Internet infrastructure and systems. By implementing the technology developed by ThreeFold, the Internet GDP of countries can go from negative to positive. + +## ThreeFold Ecosystem + +### ThreeFold Grid + +The ThreeFold Grid is the result of more than 10 years of work by a dedicated team of passionate indivuals. The grid offers a true decentralized AI, cloud and storage platform with end-to-end encrypted network as a viable and production-ready alternative to power hungry centralized datacenters. The grid provides self-healing capabilities, is ultra-sustainable and has an active community. Currently, 50 M USD has been invested in its ecosystem. The grid is present in more than 60 countries with thousands of nodes. + +### The Team + +We build on a successful track record. Indeed, our team has built some of the world's most advanced internet and cloud technologies that were later acquired by some of the biggeset names in the space for a cumulative of +USD 600 million. + +![Alt text](./img/track_record.png) + +### World Records + +Moreover, our team has set numerous world records, notably world records for web hosting (1997-2002), the first backup data duplication system in the world (2005), one of the first cloud systems (2008), the first multi-site consistent database (2010), the first unbreakable and distributed storage system (2012) and probably the first proof-of-block stake blockchain (2017). + +![Alt text](./img/world_records.png) + +### Our Values + +At ThreeFold, we believe that being planet and people first, i.e. never do anything which is not respecting mother earth, and equality for everyone, are a vital combination to a thriving and beneficial ecosystem. + +We believe in authenticity, to restore authenticity of people and information, in open-source, for healthcare, legal, software, education, in simplicity, as we believe that complexity is killing progress. + +## The Problem + +The current model has clear limitations. Too many many abstraction layers results in bad efficiency, performance loss, increased management costs, and scalability challenges. + +### Limitations + +There are actually many limitations to the current model. Those limitations are rooted in centralization and complexity. + +- **Easily Hacked** + - Centralized data centers allow hackers to easily jeopardize data due to a single point of attack. Global cybersecurity damage crossed USD 6 trillion in 2022. + +- **Not Scalable Enough** + - The current infrastructure has limits to how fast and how far it can expand, is not self-managing requires human oversight, Leaving +3 billion people unconnected. + +- **Burden to the Planet** + - Current storage and compute systems are too power hungry. They now consume a large part of the world’s energy. They are a huge burden on the planet. + +- **Susceptible in Conflicts** + - Centralized data centers are susceptible to attacks during conflict. An entire country's ICT systems can be jeopardized if their data centers are damaged or compromised. + +- **Reliable Enough** + - Current systems are too complex and centrally managed (by people) which leads to unsafe and suboptimal security and reliability. Networks are unreliable and not efficient. + +- **Lack of Data Sovereignty** + - Where a country’s data is stored is now critical to its sovereignty. Many nations are now looking for local storage to minimize manipulation by data-hosting countries. + +- **Poor Use of Computer Hardware** + - The cloud world does not utilize computer hardware well. Hardware advancements surged, while experiences and features stagnated, unable to match the pace. + +### Superficial Fixes + +While there are some partial solutions out there, most of the times, they never solve issues at the root. When this happens, abstract layers compound complexity. + +- **Abstraction** + - IT companies prefer to integrate rather then to create novel solutions. Abstractions are needed to keep it all functioning but leads to complexity and inefficiency. +- **Mismatched Education** + - There is a focus on commercial technologies rather than groundbreaking innovations often driven by vendors. +- **Pain Killer Approach** + - Starts often prioritize quick solutions for immediate pain points instead of long-term innovation. +- **Keep On Creating Layers** + - Layering allows incremental development, compatibility, and minimizes disruptions, all the while making true change impossible. + +## The Solution + +ThreeFold literally offers an all-one solution to the current problems the world is facing in the IT and cloud world. + +We are not dreaming of a better Internet, we are building it. To fix at the root all thoses issues, ThreeFold built a self-healing cloud, network and data platform. + +### The Layers of the Internet + +The Internet can be seen as three main layers: + +- Cloud & Data +- Network +- Applications + +The ThreeFold Platform ensures that those 3 layers are properly taken care of. The ThreeFold self-healing system has the capability to restore the Internet to its original purpose: unlimited collaboration and creativity, authentic information sharing without publicity, addition-free social networks, and more. + +### The ThreeFold Engine + +As far as we know, we have created the only system in the world capable to deliver self-healing data, network and cloud at a planetary scale. We are not a protocol. + +- **Fungistor** + - An indestructible, infinitely scalable, efficient data storage and distribution system that needs 3x less energy and disks. +- **Mycelium Network** + - An indestructible network that connact any machine or human over the shortest path possible over any medium and for any use case allowing for integrated network services such as video conferencing, content delivery, VPN, web 2 and 3 gateways, DNS, S3, IPFS, and more. +- **Magic Cloud** + - A self-healing multi-node cluster for any AI, Web 2 and 3 workloads. Magic Cloud is easy to use and manage, scales globally, ultra-redundant, provides high performances and is super secure. + +The ThreeFold Engine is the base layer for any cloud, edge and AI workloads. + +![Alt text](./img/base_layer.png) + +### 3 Core Inventions + +ThreeFold has built many technology over the years. Among the stack of technology created, three main inventions constitute the core of the ThreeFold Platform: + +- **A new bare metal operating system** + - Zero-OS supports all required Web2 and Web3 workloads and allows millions of nodes to operate in full autonomous mode providing lower cost, better energy efficiency, more reliability and security +- **A Quantum Safe Storage System** + - The Quantum Safe Storage System is capable of storing data indestructible, efficient, and ultra-scalable. Previous versions of this system are widely used to store Zetabytes of information by large organizations. +- **A Quantum Safe Network System** + - Mycelium can look for the shortest path, has a built-in naming & CDN (Content Delivery) system, can survive disaster and network cuts much more efficiently as is possible today. + +## Trillion-Dollar Market + +There is currently an untapped trillion-dollar cloud and cyber security market. ThreeFold has an antidote for the cyperpandemic. Indeed, trillions worth of USD are lost each year because of the ongoing cyberpandemic. Our solution offers a pro-active different approach to this problem. + +The trillion USD AI and Edge workloads market needs a different engine which is more scalable, secure and reliable. + +Countries are looking for solutions which are sovereign and allow them to restore the huge imbalance created over the years. + +The ThreeFold Platform can provide products and services for this trillion dollar market. + +## Mycelium Network Components + +ThreeFold has developed network components that together provide a Web4 layer on top of the existing Internet. + +### Phones + +> Coming soon. Project Mycelium Launch 12-12-24 + +### Nodes + +> Coming soon. Project Mycelium Launch 12-12-24 + +### Routers + +> Coming soon. Project Mycelium Launch 12-12-24 + +## Best of Both Worlds + +The ThreeFold technology is the best of both worlds. You can get the benefits of both the protocols and the centralized data centers without any of the downsides. + +The figure below compares the ThreeFold Platform with the protocols and centralized data centers. + +![](./img/platform_comparison.png) + +## ThreeFold Platform + +It all starts with the ThreeFold Platform. The ThreeFold Platform offers edge AI and a complete cloud platform. This enables anyone in the world to access the nearest ThreeFold nodes via the Mycelium network, always finding the shortest path. + +You can deploy a ThreeFold node in your home, in a datacenter or in any commercial settings. ThreeFold nodes can host the ThreeFold AI assistant called Hero, helping you in everyday task and enterprises while always being secure, encrypted and private. + +The nodes within the grid, connected via the Mycelium network, enhanced by the Hero AI assistant create a complementary unbreakable Internet compatible with the current one. This means that you can harness the full potential of the current Internet and the culmulation of humankind knowledge via the ThreeFold Platform Engine privately and securely. + +## The Internet as Hope for Humanity + +At ThreeFold, we believe that the Internet represents an amazing opportunity that brings hope for humanity. We envision a world where we can all own our AI, data and Internet. This world is within reach and we are building it as we speak. We invite everyone to join the ThreeFold ecoystem and to collaborate as they feel inspired. + +We think that it is possible to collective build and improve the internet so as it unlocks its unlimited potential of humanity. + +We envision the internet as a freeflow of authentic information, connecting everyone where, unlocking the unlimited potential of humanity. + +## Learn More + +To learn more about the ThreeFold technology, read the [ThreeFold Technology Ebook](https://threefold.info/tech). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-V4/marketplace/_category_.json b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-V4/marketplace/_category_.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..26294c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-V4/marketplace/_category_.json @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +{ + "label": "Marketplace", + "position": 7, + "link": { + "type": "generated-index", + "description": "Learn about the ThreeFold Marketplace, where you can offer and use cloud, data and network resources." + } + } \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-V4/marketplace/farming_pools.md b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-V4/marketplace/farming_pools.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..55c0561 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-V4/marketplace/farming_pools.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +sidebar_position: 4 +--- + +# Farming Pools + +A farming pool has certain tasks and responsibility.

Networks can be wired or wireless and can range from small local area networks (LANs) to large-scale wide area networks (WANs) and the internet. +### Storage + +Storage refers to the holding and preservation of data in a digital form. This can include hard disk drives, solid-state drives, flash drives, and other devices that store data. Storage can be local, such as on a personal computer, or remote, such as in a cloud-based storage service. +### Cloud + +Cloud refers to a model of delivering computing services over the internet, where resources such as servers, storage, and applications are provided as a service to users on-demand. Cloud computing allows users to access and use computing resources without having to manage or maintain the underlying infrastructure. +### DePIN + +A DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) is a protocol that uses cryptocurrency tokens to incentivize communities to build and maintain physical infrastructure networks in a decentralized manner. These networks can range from wireless and sensor networks to energy networks and cloud storage. +### Blockchain + +Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. It is the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it also has applications in supply chain management, smart contracts, and other areas. +### Operating System + +An operating system (OS) is a software that manages and controls a computer's hardware and software resources. It acts as an intermediary between computer hardware and user-level applications, providing services such as process management, memory management, and input/output management. Examples of operating systems include Windows, macOS, and Linux. +### End-to-End Encryption + +End-to-end encryption is a method of secure communication where only the communicating parties can read the messages. It ensures that data is encrypted at the sender's end and decrypted at the receiver's end, making it unreadable to anyone intercepting the data in transit. This provides a high level of security and privacy for online communications. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-V4/references/img/devops.png

Though these services are indispensable and effective, they were and are in essence not usable to build a whole internet (TODO: new internet?).

This phase of the Internet can scale indefinitely, is green, self-healing, cost effective and ultra-reliable. + +## Internet for All? + +Internet is currently not accessible to all. Indeed, the Internet is only available to 50% of the world. As per Fortune, as of 2023, "Only 1 in 3 African women have access to the internet-compared with half of man." One of the main goals of ThreeFold is to enable Internet access to people worldwide. + +## GDP Negative Internet + +Currently, for almost all countries, the Internet is GPD negative, meaning that the costs associated with building, maintaining, and securing the internet outweigh its economic benefits. + +Sea cables are the mode of transportation for internet data. With most large data centers being located in a handful of countries, nations are losing numerous benefits. + +This means that there is an amazingly high potential for countries to own their Internet infrastructure and systems. By implementing the technology developed by ThreeFold, the Internet GDP of countries can go from negative to positive. + +## ThreeFold Ecosystem + +### ThreeFold Grid + +The ThreeFold Grid is the result of more than 10 years of work by a dedicated team of passionate indivuals. The grid offers a true decentralized AI, cloud and storage platform with end-to-end encrypted network as a viable and production-ready alternative to power hungry centralized datacenters. The grid provides self-healing capabilities, is ultra-sustainable and has an active community. Currently, 50 M USD has been invested in its ecosystem.

Indeed, our team has built some of the world's most advanced internet and cloud technologies that were later acquired by some of the biggeset names in the space for a cumulative of +USD 600 million. + +![Alt text](./img/track_record.png) + +### World Records + +Moreover, our team has set numerous world records, notably world records for web hosting (1997-2002), the first backup data duplication system in the world (2005), one of the first cloud systems (2008), the first multi-site consistent database (2010), the first unbreakable and distributed storage system (2012) and probably the first proof-of-block stake blockchain (2017). + +![Alt text](./img/world_records.png) + +### Our Values + +At ThreeFold, we believe that being planet and people first, i.e. never do anything which is not respecting mother earth, and equality for everyone, are a vital combination to a thriving and beneficial ecosystem. + +We believe in authenticity, to restore authenticity of people and information, in open-source, for healthcare, legal, software, education, in simplicity, as we believe that complexity is killing progress. + +## The Problem + +The current model has clear limitations. Too many many abstraction layers results in bad efficiency, performance loss, increased management costs, and scalability challenges. + +### Limitations + +There are actually many limitations to the current model. Those limitations are rooted in centralization and complexity. + +- **Easily Hacked** + - Centralized data centers allow hackers to easily jeopardize data due to a single point of attack. Global cybersecurity damage crossed USD 6 trillion in 2022. + +- **Not Scalable Enough** + - The current infrastructure has limits to how fast and how far it can expand, is not self-managing requires human oversight, Leaving +3 billion people unconnected. + +- **Burden to the Planet** + - Current storage and compute systems are too power hungry. They now consume a large part of the world’s energy. They are a huge burden on the planet. + +- **Susceptible in Conflicts** + - Centralized data centers are susceptible to attacks during conflict. An entire country's ICT systems can be jeopardized if their data centers are damaged or compromised. + +- **Reliable Enough** + - Current systems are too complex and centrally managed (by people) which leads to unsafe and suboptimal security and reliability. Networks are unreliable and not efficient. + +- **Lack of Data Sovereignty** + - Where a country’s data is stored is now critical to its sovereignty. Many nations are now looking for local storage to minimize manipulation by data-hosting countries. + +- **Poor Use of Computer Hardware** + - The cloud world does not utilize computer hardware well. Hardware advancements surged, while experiences and features stagnated, unable to match the pace. + +### Superficial Fixes + +While there are some partial solutions out there, most of the times, they never solve issues at the root. When this happens, abstract layers compound complexity. + +- **Abstraction** + - IT companies prefer to integrate rather then to create novel solutions. Abstractions are needed to keep it all functioning but leads to complexity and inefficiency. +- **Mismatched Education** + - There is a focus on commercial technologies rather than groundbreaking innovations often driven by vendors. +- **Pain Killer Approach** + - Starts often prioritize quick solutions for immediate pain points instead of long-term innovation. +- **Keep On Creating Layers** + - Layering allows incremental development, compatibility, and minimizes disruptions, all the while making true change impossible. + +## The Solution + +ThreeFold literally offers an all-one solution to the current problems the world is facing in the IT and cloud world. + +We are not dreaming of a better Internet, we are building it. To fix at the root all thoses issues, ThreeFold built a self-healing cloud, network and data platform. + +### The Layers of the Internet + +The Internet can be seen as three main layers: + +- Cloud & Data +- Network +- Applications + +The ThreeFold Platform ensures that those 3 layers are properly taken care of. The ThreeFold self-healing system has the capability to restore the Internet to its original purpose: unlimited collaboration and creativity, authentic information sharing without publicity, addition-free social networks, and more. + +### The ThreeFold Engine + +As far as we know, we have created the only system in the world capable to deliver self-healing data, network and cloud at a planetary scale. We are not a protocol. + +- **Fungistor** + - An indestructible, infinitely scalable, efficient data storage and distribution system that needs 3x less energy and disks. +- **Mycelium Network** + - An indestructible network that connact any machine or human over the shortest path possible over any medium and for any use case allowing for integrated network services such as video conferencing, content delivery, VPN, web 2 and 3 gateways, DNS, S3, IPFS, and more. +- **Magic Cloud** + - A self-healing multi-node cluster for any AI, Web 2 and 3 workloads. Magic Cloud is easy to use and manage, scales globally, ultra-redundant, provides high performances and is super secure. + +The ThreeFold Engine is the base layer for any cloud, edge and AI workloads. + +![Alt text](./img/base_layer.png) + +### 3 Core Inventions + +ThreeFold has built many technology over the years. Among the stack of technology created, three main inventions constitute the core of the ThreeFold Platform: + +- **A new bare metal operating system** + - Zero-OS supports all required Web2 and Web3 workloads and allows millions of nodes to operate in full autonomous mode providing lower cost, better energy efficiency, more reliability and security +- **A Quantum Safe Storage System** + - The Quantum Safe Storage System is capable of storing data indestructible, efficient, and ultra-scalable. Previous versions of this system are widely used to store Zetabytes of information by large organizations. +- **A Quantum Safe Network System** + - Mycelium can look for the shortest path, has a built-in naming & CDN (Content Delivery) system, can survive disaster and network cuts much more efficiently as is possible today. + +## Trillion-Dollar Market + +There is currently an untapped trillion-dollar cloud and cyber security market. ThreeFold has an antidote for the cyperpandemic. Indeed, trillions worth of USD are lost each year because of the ongoing cyberpandemic. Our solution offers a pro-active different approach to this problem. + +The trillion USD AI and Edge workloads market needs a different engine which is more scalable, secure and reliable. + +Countries are looking for solutions which are sovereign and allow them to restore the huge imbalance created over the years. + +The ThreeFold Platform can provide products and services for this trillion dollar market. + +## Mycelium Network Components + +ThreeFold has developed network components that together provide a Web4 layer on top of the existing Internet. + +### Phones + +> Coming soon. Project Mycelium Launch 12-12-24 + +### Nodes + +> Coming soon. Project Mycelium Launch 12-12-24 + +### Routers + +> Coming soon. Project Mycelium Launch 12-12-24 + +## Best of Both Worlds + +The ThreeFold technology is the best of both worlds. You can get the benefits of both the protocols and the centralized data centers without any of the downsides. + +The figure below compares the ThreeFold Platform with the protocols and centralized data centers. + +![](./img/platform_comparison.png) + +## ThreeFold Platform + +It all starts with the ThreeFold Platform. The ThreeFold Platform offers edge AI and a complete cloud platform. This enables anyone in the world to access the nearest ThreeFold nodes via the Mycelium network, always finding the shortest path. + +You can deploy a ThreeFold node in your home, in a datacenter or in any commercial settings. ThreeFold nodes can host the ThreeFold AI assistant called Hero, helping you in everyday task and enterprises while always being secure, encrypted and private. + +The nodes within the grid, connected via the Mycelium network, enhanced by the Hero AI assistant create a complementary unbreakable Internet compatible with the current one. This means that you can harness the full potential of the current Internet and the culmulation of humankind knowledge via the ThreeFold Platform Engine privately and securely. + +## The Internet as Hope for Humanity + +At ThreeFold, we believe that the Internet represents an amazing opportunity that brings hope for humanity. We envision a world where we can all own our AI, data and Internet. This world is within reach and we are building it as we speak. We invite everyone to join the ThreeFold ecoystem and to collaborate as they feel inspired. + +We think that it is possible to collective build and improve the internet so as it unlocks its unlimited potential of humanity. + +We envision the internet as a freeflow of authentic information, connecting everyone where, unlocking the unlimited potential of humanity. + +## Learn More + +To learn more about the ThreeFold technology, read the [ThreeFold Technology Ebook](https://threefold.info/tech). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-pre-V4/marketplace/_category_.json b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-pre-V4/marketplace/_category_.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..26294c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-pre-V4/marketplace/_category_.json @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +{ + "label": "Marketplace", + "position": 7, + "link": { + "type": "generated-index", + "description": "Learn about the ThreeFold Marketplace, where you can offer and use cloud, data and network resources." + } + } \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-pre-V4/marketplace/farming_pools.md b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-pre-V4/marketplace/farming_pools.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..55c0561 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-pre-V4/marketplace/farming_pools.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +--- +sidebar_position: 4 +--- + +# Farming Pools + +A farming pool has certain tasks and responsibility.

In computing, compute resources include central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and other processing units that execute software instructions. +### Network + +A network is a collection of interconnected devices, such as computers, servers, and peripherals, that communicate with each other to share resources and exchange data. Networks can be wired or wireless and can range from small local area networks (LANs) to large-scale wide area networks (WANs) and the internet. +### Storage + +Storage refers to the holding and preservation of data in a digital form. This can include hard disk drives, solid-state drives, flash drives, and other devices that store data. Storage can be local, such as on a personal computer, or remote, such as in a cloud-based storage service. +### Cloud + +Cloud refers to a model of delivering computing services over the internet, where resources such as servers, storage, and applications are provided as a service to users on-demand. Cloud computing allows users to access and use computing resources without having to manage or maintain the underlying infrastructure. +### DePIN + +A DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) is a protocol that uses cryptocurrency tokens to incentivize communities to build and maintain physical infrastructure networks in a decentralized manner. These networks can range from wireless and sensor networks to energy networks and cloud storage. +### Blockchain + +Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. It is the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it also has applications in supply chain management, smart contracts, and other areas. +### Operating System + +An operating system (OS) is a software that manages and controls a computer's hardware and software resources. It acts as an intermediary between computer hardware and user-level applications, providing services such as process management, memory management, and input/output management. Examples of operating systems include Windows, macOS, and Linux. +### End-to-End Encryption + +End-to-end encryption is a method of secure communication where only the communicating parties can read the messages. It ensures that data is encrypted at the sender's end and decrypted at the receiver's end, making it unreadable to anyone intercepting the data in transit. This provides a high level of security and privacy for online communications. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs_website/versioned_docs/version-pre-V4/references/img/devops.png
