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

He mentioned that the decentralized messaging protocol Waku already supports applications like Railway and Status. IPFS offers strong performance as a decentralized file retrieval method, though storage issues need improvement. Taking Fileverse, a decentralized alternative to Google Docs/Sheets, as an example, its usability has been greatly enhanced. It uses Ethereum and Gnosis chains to handle accounts, employs decentralized messaging and storage to process documents, and is open-source with “exit testing.” He criticized the drawbacks of “corporate bloated products” and cited cases to prove the risks are real.

Today, decentralized applications like Fileverse are sufficiently user-friendly. He often uses them to write and collaborate on documents, contrasting with the difficulty of decentralized applications in 2014. He calls on builders to jointly embrace the revival of decentralization.
