Current Problems of #Web5

#Web5 is going to shape the Internet in a way that gives users the freedom to choose for themselves.

The freedom to manage our Data and Identity as we see fit.
But as with anything ambitious, there are problems to overcome.

Here 👇 are some of them 🧵

I am going to divide the problems into two categories:

• Technical
• General

Technical Problems

If you are interested in the technical aspect, the best way to understand these problems is to get your hands on Github.

Here are the links:

👉 DWN sdk: github.com/TBD54566975/dw…

General Problems

There are many non-technical problems that, once solved, will allow Web5 to proliferate.

Here is a list 👇

1. Education

Too many people think that Web5 = Web3 on Bitcoin. It’s not.

This educational barrier prevents people from getting involved, either because they hate crypto, or because they love crypto.

Here is a good starting point:

2. Responsibility

Freedom is not free, you have to earn it.
It requires responsibility.

Keeping private keys secret, managing money and having a backup system for files --these are difficult things.

Solutions that simplify these aspects are vital for reaching everyday people.

I am working on a project called @nabi_technology.

“Make Digital Self-Sovereignty so simple that everyone can provide for themselves” –this is our goal.

3. Network effect

As with any standard-based technology, usage is what will make or break #Web5.

If a critical mass of applications and users will be reached, then it will flourish.

What might these killer apps be?

Here are 4 ideas:

• A Wallet (like the one announced by @get_zion)

• Authentication using DIDs

• Unstoppable chat applications / Social Networks

• Automating the process of requesting, storing on your DWN and deleting your data from centralized Apps.

• and tbDEX 👇

Let me know in the comments what you think about these problems and how to solve them.
