Interview
summary
A protocol called Fabric claims to replace the web with a peer-to-peer information market using zero-knowledge contingent payments to broadcast computation orders so solvers claim assigned payments, and it adds cryptographic signatures to attribute and enable direct payments to original content authors for streamed or posted media. Development is bootstrapped for four years with 3–4 core devs and a 350-person Slack community, initial focus on trading hypertext documents not video, white paper on GitHub and a fuller spec planned at nextweb.com.
