Technology

ThreeFold delivers the plumbing layer for a better Internet which has the potential to achieve Augmented Collective Intelligence. We call such a system Web4.

ThreeFold might be the only platform in the world providing Web4 Network, Data and Cloud Capabilities in 1 system.

3 Required Levels​

Together with our partners we have all required parts to make it happen on 3 levels:

Personal Level:​

  • Agent Layer: every person owns a Personal Digital Assistant, managing their digital life.
  • Identity Layer: strong reputation management, proof of authenticity, a global name system.
  • Intelligence Layer: decentralized, personal AI systems for collaboration & augmented intelligence.
  • Transaction Layer: fully integrated with Web3 systems and beyond e.g. mutual credit, …

Infrastructure Level:​

  • Network Layer: redesign of how communication happens, private, more scalable, …
  • Data Layer: redesign of how we share, distribute and store data
  • Serverless Compute Layer: allow code to run close to where participants and data are.
  • Cloud Layer: run VM’s, Containers as part of ecosystem (compatibility layer with Web2)

Physical Level​

  • Routers: route between old and new web, create new secure communication channels.
  • Nodes: deliver AI, Data, Compute to the ecosystem
  • Phones: our personal device, capable of building a meshed network, offline support with catchup.
  • Desktops: any current linux, windows, osx desktop seamlessly integrates

The following are required components to make it possible:

  • Zero-OS: Custom lightweight operating system for nodes built on the Linux kernel
    • Self-healing and automated resource management via bare metal ThreeFold nodes
  • Mycelium: End-to-end encrypted network always using the shortest path
  • Quantum Safe Storage resistant to quantum computer attacks and data can never be lost.
  • Hero Agent (v4): Ready to build the apps of the future in full compatibility with web3.
  • Smart Contract for IT: Blockchain-based resource allocation with signed contracts.
    • Secure, transparent transaction mechanisms for deployment of solutions on the ThreeFold Grid.
