'Why Web3 Requires Complete Decentralisation' web3 oct_network
decentralisation, which the crypto world does not have - yet!with Gavin Wood, who coined the term ‘Web3’ in 2014, sets out a stark differentiation between ‘Web 1.0’, the earliest version of our WorldWide Web that comprised open, decentralised protocols, ‘Web 2.
0’, today’s web, controlled by closed, centralised platforms , and ‘Web3’ a decentralized online ecosystem built on blockchain, meant to “break the world free of that monopolistic control”. The ideology is that anything built on Web3 won’t be owned by any central actor, instead, users control their own experiences and earn ownership by developing and maintaining the Web3 services. This approach suggests inherent disintermediation by removing 3rd parties, an inbuilt resilience due to a decentralised infrastructure, automatic accessibility meaning nothing is restricted, and personal data ownership where everyone has control over their information. Paradoxically, if one were to take a cursory look at the organisations proclaiming to be Web3 today, one would notice that many, if not all, are centralised actors who are operating in the exact same way as Web 2.0 does.Web 2.0 is about conglomerates, Web3 is about people. And yet, the current trend is for Web 2.0 companies to attempt at ‘greater relevance’ by aligning themselves with today’s keywords such as ‘metaverse’ and, of course, Web3. Yet, a tagline does not an infrastructure make.way of constructing anything as a Web3 offering, unlocking the potential in collaborative cooperation, is to reverse the organisational structures of Web 2.0 and develop networks and services whereThat’s a bold move. Predominantly as it requires the surrendering of control - and how many Web 2.0 organisations are up for that? In 2021, Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the WorldWide Web and long-term freedom advocate, envisaged a return to the original, open protocols and principles of Web 1.0 where “ no permission is needed from a central authority to post anything…there is no central controlling node, and so no single point of failure… no kill switchToday, the news we read, the images we share and the conversations we have, are controllable by the few centralised platforms that have their own agenda. For the future of Web3 we need to place the power firmly in the hands of the people. This human-centric approach is the default starting point for Minima, thedecentralised network enabling everyone to freely connect, but the hope is that many will build offerings on top. Minima is an enabling protocol, the possibility for applications on top are, literally, limitless. This differentiation is simple as a concept, but in practice, it is tremendously difficult to bring to market; not least because nobody has ever attempted it before. Another challenge is that the world has been so conditioned and controlled by centralised structures, that a vast amount of education needs to happen so that peoplethat they are allowed to have power.

I believe that the entire construct of Web3 is not suitable for everyone and everything. The commercial structure of organisations is not something that should either be surrendered or ignored.
