Private Datapods: Web 3.0 does not Automatically Mean Blockchain Decentralization

Dr. Stephen Castell

Abstract


ICT and blockchain professionals must be careful not to equate Web 3.0 automatically with blockchain, or vice versa. That is an incorrect equivalence. Blockchain is certainly one possible architecture on which to base a Web 3.0 implementation. However, the essence of Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s decentralized Web 3.0 concept is nothing automatically or implicitly to do with blockchain, but, rather, is focused on the important idea of Private Datapods. The author’s own Zykme / ZykPass invention is an available working hybrid App (beta test version) compliant with this Web 3.0 Private Datapod fundamental design principle, ushering-in a new era of decentralized user-controlled and user-owned social media based on secure P2P personal data communications, implemented using edge computing. This article describes the architecture and future development of this invention. This includes potential addition of a future blockchain-based ‘social media’ ZykToken, awarded to, and owned and tradeable by, each Zykme / ZykPass user, implementing the author’s novel CapChere (Customer Corporation) IP and business ownership structure. This contends to be a transformative, socially useful re-purposing of traditional industrial capitalism in which all are winners.
