Web5: The Next Evolution of the Internet
The internet has changed from the read-only Web1 to user-generated Web2, and now the decentralized promises of Web3. There’s a new contender gaining momentum: Web5.
Some say that web3 achieved decentralisation, what if they're wrong?
What is Web5?
Unlike Web3, that relies heavily on tokens, smart contracts, and various blockchain ecosystems, Web5 focuses on user sovereignty, identity, and data ownership.
Web2 + Web3 = Web5
Key Features of Web5:
Decentralized Identifiers/DIDs: Your online identity isn’t tied to web2 social, or web3 wallets. It’s yours, portable anywhere.
Decentralized Web Nodes/DWNs: Instead of storing data on servers owned by Big Tech, data lives in an encrypted, personal data vault.
No Tokens/ Speculation: Web5 isn’t trying to create the next crypto boom. It’s building infrastructure without financial speculation.
Privacy & Utility: The goal is not to gamify the internet with tokens, but to make it safer and more user-controlled. 11 replies
