Enabling Open Web for Consumer Apps
summary
Argues the open web combines blockchain primitives (programmable ownership, pseudonymous identity, oracles, zk proofs, decentralized storage like Filecoin and proxy re‑encryption) with new application patterns such as usage mining that pay and give ownership to users. Describes concrete builds: NEAR’s sharded, low‑cost chain, Aurora (EVM→WASM) running as a smart contract, and a crowdsourcing app with ~1,500 daily active users and over a million labeled data samples, plus examples (taxi co‑op that beat Uber) showing these pieces actually work.
