Decentralized Internet

If we talk about the internet, almost all devices nowadays can connect to the internet. As technology develops, this time the presence of decentralized internet may make us a little confused. What is decentralized internet? This time we will explore how blockchain enables the next generation of decentralized internet services. But first we need to know what decentralized internet services are and why they are so important to the web.

What is a decentralized internet service? Decentralized internet services are applications that run directly on the public internet without having to rely on a server or an intermediary. Well, they are open, transparent, and user-focused, meaning anyone can access them, review them, and contribute to them. They also respect users' privacy and sovereignty, which will allow them to control their own data and identity.

Decentralized internet services are essential for web 3, Why? Because it could represent a new paradigm for building and deploying applications on the web, instead of being locked into a centralized platform that can censor, manipulate or exploit its users. Decentralized internet services empower users to interact with each other without needing to trust each other and without requiring permission. Decentralized internet services also enable new forms of collaboration and innovation, where developers can create applications that can be combined and interconnected and harness the power of network effects.

Then what are examples of decentralized internet services? One of them is a decentralized internet service on Internet Computers. How can we build and run decentralized internet services on the web? Well, this is where Internet Computers become important.

Internet of Computers is a revolutionary blockchain project that aims to renew the internet. As a public network that hosts software and data securely, Internet Computer enables decentralized internet services by providing the following features.
First, web speed. Internet Computers can run any type of software at web speeds, meaning users can enjoy a smooth and responsive experience when using decentralized internet services.

Second, scalability. Internet Computers can increase their capacity indefinitely, meaning they can support the amount of data and computing required by decentralized internet services.

Third, the privacy of its users. The Internet of Computers can also maintain the privacy of its users by using advanced cryptography and a new blockchain authentication system that allows users to log into decentralized internet services using their own devices or security keys.

Fourth, developer friendly. Internet Computers can support any type of programming language and framework, meaning developers can use existing skills and tools to build decentralized internet services.

As we know, both Definity Explorer and NNSD APPS are examples of decentralized internet services that run naturally on the Internet without servers or intermediaries. They are also an example of how users can participate in the governance and tokenomics of the Internet of Computers. However, this is not the only example of a decentralized internet service that has been built on the Internet of Computers. There are many other applications that demonstrate the potential and diversity of decentralized internet services.

The following are some examples:
First, Open Chat. Open Chat is a decentralized chat application that allows users to communicate with each other with text, voice, video, emoji, and gifts. Users can also send tokens such as ICP or CQBTC in chat. Open Chat is managed by its community as a DAO and also has its own chat token.

The second, DSCVR. DSCVR is a place that brings together community-focused news, hobbies, and discussions. Users can create or join communities based on their interests and preferences. Users can also earn rewards in DSCVR tokens for creating content or interacting with others.

Third, Hive. Hive is a blockchain-based social media platform. Hive uses blockchain technology to allow users to contribute and earn rewards through their activities, such as posting content, comments, and voting. Hive.Blog also has its own system based on their token, namely HIVE

These are just a few examples of decentralized internet services that have been built on the Internet of Computers. There are many more apps under development or already available. You can find them on websites like DappRadar, where they feature some of the latest and greatest decentralized internet services on various blockchains.

And the following are examples of decentralized internet services on various blockchains. Apart from the Internet of Computers, several other blockchains also enable decentralized internet services.
First, Ethereum. With their Smart Contract intelligence feature, Ethereum makes it possible to build decentralized applications such as Divy, NFT Marketplace, DAO, and other applications. Examples of app include Uniswap, OpenSea, and CryptoKitties.

Second, Solana. With high speed and low fees, Solana is perfect for scalable applications such as blockchain games, social media platforms, and decentralized exchanges. Examples of app include Star Atlas, Bonfida, and Solanium.

The third, Polygon. As a Layer 2 scalability solution, Polygon enables Ethereum applications to operate at lower costs and at higher speeds. Examples of app include Aave, QuickSwap, and Decentraland.

The fourth, Cardano. With a focus on sustainability and affordability, Cardano supports decentralized applications in finance, education, e-commerce and more. Examples of app include Liquid Finance, World Mobile Token..

Fifth, Polkadot. With its multichain model, Polkadot enables interoperability of applications across blockchains. Examples of applications include Akala, and Acala Network.

As we can see, many blockchains now enable a variety of decentralized internet services to be built. This all represents a new paradigm in the way we build and deploy applications on the web. Maybe some of you have already used applications on Web 3. For those of you who have never tried them, the advice is that you should try them before you are out of date. But be careful when using applications on Web 3.

OK, guys, maybe that's all for my post this time. So, what do you think about decentralized internet services for the next generation? Is this the future, or is this just bulls**t? Comment below. See you again in the next post. Cheers!
