I am looking forward to a fully decentralized internet. I know that carries a bit of “hype” right now but I’ve been playing with it lately and I think it’s exacty what a lot of people are thirsting for. The original feeling of geocities, bbs, forums. Actual sense of community and discovery without worry.
It’s definitely too early / the projects I’ve played with have a lot of progress to go on.
Things that need to be improved for a real Dapp to exist:
1. Storage layer with encryption / p2p / access control. Allows “back-end” logic to be distributed amongst peers.
2. UX tooling that makes it extremely easy to sign in with identities and manage encryption.
3. Developer tooling to easily package app code and deploy to users.
4. Absolutely no 3rd party dependencies outside of the app itself. It must be self sustaining.
5. Open source for a true Dapp. If value is being provided at a cost of a company/dev team then monetize it by selling access to a client or data within the app. This can be done easier with wallet integrations and crypto.
