Growing Open Networks in Web 3
summary
Argues that Web3 goes beyond buzzwords with concrete experiments: Gitcoin grants and token incentives are funding open-source maintenance, IPFS and Ethereum shards aim for read write trust verifiable web, and ENS/MetaMask show practical tooling. Claims coordination scales 10x–100x versus preweb efforts, warns the same primitives can enable a surveillance state, and raises governance tradeoffs (stakeholder voting, shard-level rules). Useful if interested in real projects, funding mechanics, and governance failure modes.
