2/ DSNs will go beyond storage alone and pair off-chain computation with storage and on-chain computation. The computational needs of providing storage resources naturally lend themselves to this pairing, opening up new commercial activities and use cases within DSNs.
3/ In Web 2, data gravitated towards companies that collected it, leading to closed-off ecosystems. With user-controlled data solutions becoming mainstream, the point of value accrual shifts. Users become primary beneficiaries and monetization tools evolve.
4/ DSNs present an opportunity for user data to sit on decentralized networks, benefiting from robust query markets. This shift from exploitation to flow unlocks exciting possibilities to reshape the data landscape.
5/ Decentralized storage's future interaction with operating systems like Urbit sparks curiosity. Urbit offers a personal server and decentralized OS, enabling self-hosting and P2P interaction with the internet. DSNs can become a critical component of the individual stack.
6/ Imagine hosting encrypted user data on DSNs while coordinating actions through the Urbit OS. Further integrations with Web 3 and projects like Uqbar Network could enhance the Urbit experience, bringing smart contracting to your Nook environment.
7/ In conclusion, composability opens the door to a new era. While Urbit and peer-to-peer applications may have criticisms, they exemplify how these pieces can come together, offering a new path for our hyper-connected world. The slow burn leads to revolution.
