Detailed Analysis:
Task starts by addressing the lack of true Web3 platforms, pointing out that many projects claiming to be Web3 are actually permissioned systems, defeating the purpose of utilizing blockchain technology. He expresses frustration at the trend of imposing restrictions in the name of security, likening it to government overreach seen in traditional institutions.
The fundamental principles of Web3, according to Task, include decentralized databases, account control, and permissionlessness. He highlights the necessity of these features for a platform to be considered truly Web3. Task criticizes the current infrastructure that fails to provide genuine decentralization and mentions the need for innovation in various sectors beyond social media.
One major impediment Task identifies for Web3 adoption is the prevalence of transaction fees, particularly in social media applications. He argues that these fees are unsustainable and unattractive for users, especially in platforms like Ethereum where fees can be high. Task praises Hive for being feeless, providing an alternative model where users invest and stake native tokens to actively engage in the ecosystem.
In terms of Web3 progress, Task mentions LeoFinance and Threads as promising projects moving in the right direction. He believes that the integration of these projects with different front ends can create a user-friendly experience that may attract more users to Web3. Task sees Hive as the potential platform to disrupt traditional social media giants, highlighting its features of decentralization, immutability, and ownership control.
Task concludes by expressing hope for the future of Web3, emphasizing the significance of integrating ideas from various projects and teams to drive innovation and growth in the space.
