D’BRAVI // digital|decentralized business related adaptive versatile infra
There are many attempts to build so-called web3, but most of them are based on same web2 infra and architecture.
Most web1/2 services are completely controlled by a few corps/govs.
Web3 isn’t a logical continuation fo web2, web2 is a dead end. Web3 is an alternative.
Web3 is protocol based, which means the rules of the game don’t change unpredictably by someone. Of course there is a spectrum of utopian and dystopian scenarios. We should find the right paradigm that will work for all participants not just a few.
Awesome decentralized protocols // what other ppl do
We started with a research-intensive process to learn what can be applied from existing decentralized protocols. This research began with the ecosystem review and has continued while the Bluesky team was forming. We will be publishing our preliminary work and research this month, starting with this high level introduction. There are many projects that have created protocols for decentralizing discourse, including ActivityPub and SSB for social, Matrix and IRC for chat, and RSS for blogging. While each of these are successful in their own right, none of them fully met the goals we had for a network that enables global long-term public conversations at scale.
Some of the most important objectives we have been evaluating are portability, scale, and trust. Portability allows people to keep their social life intact even if they switch providers. Scale allows people to participate in global discourse. And trust is created by giving people insight into what services are doing with their data and how information is being promoted into or removed from their feed. [link]
ATP: portability, scale, and trust…
It could be described as a hybrid federated network with p2p characteristics, but it’s more descriptive to focus on the capabilities — self-authenticating identities and data — than on network topology
ZION.FYI
Centralization has made it easier for governments to standardize and regulate industries, and for media and technology companies to create and grow their own ecosystems. But the trouble with such centralized networks is that they are also susceptible to censorship, control, and a loss of freedom, as we’ve seen to our cost in the past few years.
Combining decentralization and encryption through the Bitcoin standard and Lightning Network offers the return of the personal liberty that centralized banking, government, and social media entities have started to strip away. By the time you’ve finished reading this book, you’ll see how Bitcoin (the asset and network) can help you:
Reclaim freedom of and after speech
Participate in a more civilized and accountable online discourse that mirrors in-person conversation
Resist deplatforming, shadow banning, and all other forms of censorship
Connect with creators and their unfiltered content in an authentic way
Take hold of digital property rights that give you full ownership of your data
Regain control over your financial assets
Assert your right to unapologetic freedom forever
BRAVI // business related autonomous versatile infra, a low level infra/meta-protocol
- Portability: users profiles, data, history, etc. are portable and transformable. No matter what happens. No protocol/tech lockin.
- Versatile communication protocol on top of a changing infra. P2P communication network.
- Integration with a wide range of web services/APIs without limits.
- Governance are protected by active defence mechanisms. Users can create new digital organizations (aka DAOs) within protected ecosystem.
- Business environment for individuals, communities, digital organisations with open and protected economy.
