Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media, stating that in 2014 he envisioned building a decentralized, permissionless application network based on a technology stack. Now, all the conditions to realize the original Web3 vision are in place and will continue to strengthen. It is time to build a decentralized world.
He mentioned that the decentralized messaging protocol Waku has supported applications like Railway and Status, and that IPFS performs strongly as a decentralized file retrieval method, although storage issues still need improvement. Taking Fileverse, a decentralized alternative to Google Docs/Sheets, as an example, its usability has significantly improved, utilizing Ethereum and Gnosis chains to handle accounts, processing documents with decentralized messaging and storage, and also through open-source "exit tests." He criticized the various drawbacks of "bloated corporate products" and cited cases to prove that the risks are real.
Today, decentralized applications like Fileverse are good enough to use. He frequently uses it to write and collaborate on documents, contrasting it with the difficulties of decentralized applications in 2014. He calls on builders to collectively embrace the decentralized renaissance.
