Permaweb Pioneers

"So many of us are interacting with these videos on glass - it's the human touchpoint. We are touching glass to have these human exchanges - this emotional, rich, video experience."  Video has become the most important and popular medium for communication in the modern world: its content is rich and stimulating of all the senses; it is the easiest to digest; and half of the internet's bandwidth is used for the viewing of video.This discussion with Sam Sends of GLASS, who is building a decentralized video platform, explores: how integral video has become to communication in the modern world; why a decentralized video platform is important; and why Arweave's technology aligned with GLASS's permanent data storage vision. Visit: glass.xyzBe sure and follow @onlyarweave on Twitter to stay in the loop on all things Arweave and Permaweb related. 

One of the greatest challenges the permaweb faces is how to make it more welcoming and accessible to Web 2.0 users. In this episode Hlöðver Sigurðsson, Tate Berenbaum, Arweave.news, Rob of 4sv.io, Josh of the Bundlr, and others discuss with Arweave how Web2.0 experiences can be brought to Web3.0 and the Permaweb in a way that can onboard as many people as possible.This discussion includes some detail on how notable projects are building on Arweave to make their projects more accessible to everyone and why they chose Arweave to do so.In particular, there's discussion about the Bundlr and the massive opportunities it presents - "This will bring Arweave to the Web 2.0 world - and will bring it to major adoption - because users will be able to use Arweave without really noticing they are using Arweave which is the point of technology - to abstract away from complexities".

Akord's social vaults ensure digital valuables and messages for generations to come with end-to-end encryption and permanent storage on Arweave. After building out their own crypto ledger, the Akord team found Arweave and it changed the game by providing all of the components necessary to create a digital time capsule and social vault on the Permaweb.The notion of a "social vault" is inspiring and utilitarian. This vault contains images, documents, and you-name-its in an encrypted, decentralized, and permanent storage interface for generations to come. No need for continuous subscription fees, you pay once and store forever.
