Ethereum is on its way to become the backbone of #web3. It allows you to build decentralized apps that run on the blockchain. These are apps that allow anyone to participate without monetising their personal data.
IPFS is a decentralized network that distributes website data across a network. It’s similar to @BitTorrent where each computer stores a piece of a website’s data. So whenever you surf to a .crypto domain, you’re loading the data from other nearby nodes on the network.
Often described as the @Airbnb of data storage, Filecoin is a cryptocurrency powered storage network where miners earn $FIL by providing open hard-drive space while users spend $FIL to store their files encrypted in the decentralized way.
WalletConnect is an open source protocol that allows you to connect with decentralised #Web3 applications by scanning a QR code using your mobile wallet.
ProtonMail is the world's largest secure email service, developed by CERN and MIT scientists. In addition to providing encryption on the server, ProtonMail also makes it easy to send encrypted messages between users.
A domain asset on a blockchain. New extensions (like .com or .info) launched as smart contracts on public blockchains. Domains are stored by their owners, no third party can take them away 🔐
Blockchain domains have two major use cases short-term:
#Blockchain domains allow users to replace crypto addresses with human-readable names. Instead of copy/pasting, & emailing your address to someone, just tell them your blockchain domain.
They type your domain into a wallet, and send. No more long addresses.
