Wonder how you can take ownership of your data into the Web3 future? Disco is your answer, it brings the party and the logistics for autonomously transferring your data to whoever you want, wherever you want, and whenever you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To explain the catalyst: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Web 3.0 was initiated to combat the extreme centralization we saw in Web 2.0 and combine it with the openness of Web 1.0. Web 1.0 was the introduction of static pages and URLs. As it modernized and became more user-friendly, flexible space for user-generated content materialized. Web 2.0 can be linked to the likes of Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Following the user-generated content initiation came comment on content features. As it goes, monetizing this network effect ensued; mining users\u2019 data and assigning value to each transaction or digital relevance crafts the web today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Web 3.0 is the return to a more approachable and user-directed web. It is the user-orchestrated platform that will take the power back from the \u201cman\u201d and actually return it to the men. A.K.A. extract the monopolizing power facilitated by Web 2.0 and decentralize personal data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The renowned Blockchain was created as a digital time-stamp for documents to facilitate safeguarded financial transactions during the economic crisis in 2009. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Web 3.0 took this innovation and expanded its scope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In an effort to manage this re-decentralization of information and data, digital innovations have emerged. Namely – Disco – which as mentioned previously, brings the partyyyy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Disco is broken down into 3 principles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You are probably wondering\u2026 \u201cUm, well then who owns my data now? I thought this was a natural given.\u201d \u2026Nar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the public web today, identifiable data is observed, controlled, and manipulated by \u201cincumbents\u201d, third-party companies. When you access the internet, in a sense, you are issuing a self-IPO. Every single aspect of your internet footprint is stored in data silos for companies to purchase. As a result, your web viewer page is \u201ccatered\u201d to you by companies trying to poach your attention and money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If this is off-putting to you, which I would expect for most, it would be\u2026 Disco offers the Disco Data Backpack. You can store and retrieve your personal information at the individual assertion, all through cryptographic proofs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s like going to a bar in the metaverse, and proving you are over 21, without having to show other aspects of your personal data like your address and DOB.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Awesome! But, how is this done:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Who are the players:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
