Vitalik: The prerequisites for realizing the original vision of Web3 are in place, and it's time to start building a decentralized world

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that in 2014, he envisioned building a decentralized, permissionless application network based on a technology stack. Now, all the conditions to realize the original Web3 vision are in place and will continue to strengthen. It is time to build a decentralized world.

He mentioned that the decentralized messaging protocol Waku has supported applications like Railway and Status, and IPFS performs strongly as a decentralized file retrieval method, although storage issues need improvement. Taking Fileverse, a decentralized alternative to Google Docs/Sheets, as an example, its usability has significantly improved, utilizing Ethereum and Gnosis chains for account handling, processing documents with decentralized messaging and storage, and also through open-source "exit tests." He criticized the various drawbacks of "corporate bloated products" and cited cases to prove the risks are real.

Today, decentralized applications like Fileverse are good enough to use. He frequently uses them to write and collaborate on documents, contrasting this with the difficulty of decentralized applications in 2014. He calls on builders to collectively embrace the decentralized renaissance.
