Every day, our lives become increasingly entangled in a digital web, where data is currency, information is power, and users are farmed like cattle for the benefit of corporations and governments.
Our homes, our schools, our jobs, our entertainment, our health, our public spaces have all become data farms...
leading us through experiences gated by algorithms built on our own behaviors. Dictating our perception of the world, of our friends, of ourselves.
And despite major hacks, negligent data policies and leaked personal information, we complacently continue to expand our digital existence because it's convenient.
Like cattle.
But blockchain technology and the promise of a decentralized Web3 offers a new path.
One where individuals can take control of their digital destiny. With the rise of the metaverse, cryptocurrencies, and web3, we are building towards a new reality.
A reality where we can interact and engage in new digital environments and communities that bridge our real world and our digital lives in a true omniverse with
unlimited opportunities.
This shift has the potential to transform the way we live, work, and create, but it also runs the risk of repeating past mistakes.
Many of the projects built in Web3 today are centralized, making veiled claims of decentralization, only to crumble under pressure, taking users’ tokens and trust along with them.
But there are those who, despite the commercial cash grabs, continue to strive for greater empowerment for users, greater autonomy, greater experiences for us all.
We must work together.
But where do we start?
It starts with you and me;
all of us.
It starts with the question:
Who are we in this vast digital omniverse?
Who do we want to be?
We can own our own data, monetize it or lock it away as we choose. We can retain the rights and licence our own creations, channels and audiences. We can cut out the middlemen and take charge of our finances. We can create robustness and transparency in our businesses.
The technology exists now to own and control our digital identities, our ability to remain anonymous, pseudonymous or fully doxxed, our desire to choose what others can see in different environments and platforms.
Elastos has been quietly building the promise of Web3 before it was even a term. Open source, decentralized technologies for identity, security, communication, data storage and commerce are being put to use to build the next generation of games, social networks, marketplaces, financial services and business processes.
Navigating from one to another would traditionally require separate logins and full exposure of our data. With decentralized identifiers, our self-sovereign, verifiable selves...
can be whoever
we desire.
It’s your identity and it can be yours again. Don’t leave it to fate. It’s time to forge your digital destiny.
