Psibase intends to bring all the benefits of "self-hosting" to communities rather than just to individuals. Your community can come together to collectively self-host full-stack applications, without introducing single points of failure.

#Web3 - Decentralizes app data
#Web5 - Decentralizes user data

...If only there was a way to merge the two. 😏

[Psibase @PsibaseIO]

Modern blockchain L1s should absolutely be using a WebAssembly runtime instead of a custom VM. The WebAssembly ecosystem is poised to explode in the next couple of years, and projects built on top of it are going to see vastly increased numbers of potential contributors.

Happy new year 🎆

In this new year, how can you become more independent? Shop local? Use self-hosted open-source software? Ditch the tech giants?

Be the change.

#psibase protocol is 🔥:
* Shared server-side data storage using #blockchain
* User authentication using #webauthn
* Client-side storage using #Web5 DWNs
* Client-side app interoperability using #wasm components as plugins
* Peer-to-peer user communication over #WebRTC

Failure to solve category 1 issues results in industry capture and leaves users no more independent than before the invention of blockchain.

Failure to solve category 2 issues results in never reaching mass adoption, web3 remains esoteric and largely unhelpful.

[Psibase @PsibaseIO]

Existential risk categories for the blockchain industry:

1. Independence - Is this technology sufficiently resilient to deal with pressure from the threatened incumbent systems (banking/governance/etc)?

2. User experience - Can Web3 UX rival Web2?

Paying attention to citizens assemblies?

the CFTC is *not* a good crypto regulator and must *not* be given more authority

This bill and the FIT Act are BOTH -->simply *UNFIT* for crypto

Interesting thoughts on the state of DAOs, the impact of the Ooki Dao situation, and blockchain-related "innovation"

Seeing in the weekend with Glitch #4. This dispatch traverses:
🔮 Worldcoin’s big “if"
🐩 Neopets' metaverse cancellation
🤔 Life after DAOs

The SEC cannot continue to regulate by enforcement. The lawsuits filed against digital asset firms are not protecting the public and are stifling innovation and growth.

My letter to SEC Chair Gensler ⬇️

Ranked-choice voting, open primaries, citizen redistricting, deliberative democracy...

Great piece by @SuzetteMasters summarizing various democratic innovations.

NEW PIECE. “It’s imperative to nurture the seeds of positive transformation for a restless and anxious 21st century public and mobilize that public and its representatives to solve 21st century-sized problems. ” https://t.co/XrtsaPWjP2 #democracy #governance #betterfuturesproject

Psibase development is carrying on under the umbrella of this new non-profit organization. Psibase is a full-stack web-3 application deployment protocol and software implementation, and it is an open source public good that can be leveraged by anyone whose purposes it serves.

[ƒractally @gofractally]

2nd big update:

…a new nonprofit organization dedicated to fulfill the mission.

Fractally team members, therefore, have decided to pursue fractal governance with what we think is a less risky but also a much broader approach. More to say about that soon.

6/8

Citizens Assemblies (https://t.co/uwUDPZx8ER) is an innovation for #democracy. They have game theoretic properties that counteract incumbent advantage and rational ignorance, and it's very effective at producing high levels of consensus👀

[Aviv Ovadya 🥦 @metaviv]

Our current approach to governing technology isn't good enough—and I have been advocating that 'Platform Democracy' could help.

Well, Meta just tried ~that at near-global scale—and will try it for generative AI next.

[Psibase @PsibaseIO]

It will soon be trivial to use multimodal AI tools to generate real-time audio + video of a human that is indistinguishable from a legitimate live video conversation.

This will open up new attack vectors for all human coordination that depends on video conferencing 🚨

Containerization of development environments is a growing trend to simplify contributing to open source projects.

To learn how Psibase supports containerized development, check out our recent live webinar on the subject:

First things first - Why does Psibase make use of a blockchain for its backend data layer? We did a live webinar on the topic, check it out!
