The Toolkit For Building The Future …
I’ve just read a white paper on another new Web 3 advancement, and it all reads well and is nicely presented. But, it lacks any real detail on the actual practice. As a cryptography researcher and academic, I spend a good deal of my time reading peer-reviewed work, so any real advancement must show how things work and the advancements involved. We can all talk a good game, but it is what happens under the surface where the real innovation happens.
Cryptocurrencies have been the vanguard, now we need to build the rest
Many people can define the problems of our current Internet, and propose ways to address these problems, but the real skill will be to make sure that all the different elements will work, as a weakness in one part of this can cause the whole infrastructure to fall. Cryptocurrencies have been the vanguard for this — and have shown many strengths, but also many weaknesses. We all need to learn from initial failures and make sure we carry forward all the good things into building a trusted world of our future. To me, we have barely started building a new digital, and are still prototyping. But, slowly, a consensus evolves in the way that our new Internet needs to be built — and the details of this matter.
