RE: WEB5
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Where does WEB5 even come from?
How did this new version of the web get its name? Laid out in a Google Doc presentation published by Dorsey, the name is derived from Web 2 + Web 3 = Web 5.
Haha. Wut?
So Jack Dorsey literally just added together 2 + 3 = 5?
Rebranding to draw attention to the pitfalls of those who have incorrectly claimed Web3 status is not a bad idea. This is similar to what @theycallmedan has done by using the term 'HiveGov' to differentiate Hive's version of DPOS from others'.
Of course, as you've pointed out, Jack's Web5 claims are dubious.
Maybe we should coin a term to specifically refer to [1] truly-decentralized [2] base-layer [3] censorship-resistant identification coupled with [4] platform-agnostic authentication.
In other words, a term that specifically refers to the instantiation of those four pillars, which is exactly what Hive and HiveAuth collectively provide. I suppose we could also throw fast and fee-less in there as fifth and sixth pillars, if we wanted to.
