Polygon and Reddit founders launch Web 3.0 funds

 


Polygon and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian want to support the expansion of social media and game development in Web 3.0. To do this, they are launching a $ 200 million fund.

The transition to Web 3.0 is reminiscent of David versus Goliath: On the one hand there are monopolists such as Meta, on the other there are decentralized niche projects that want to put control in the hands of the user. To rectify the imbalance and give Web 3.0 projects start-up support, the Polygon team and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian set up a Web 3.0 fund with US $ 200 million.


If the Web 1.0 was still a collection of HTML pages, the age of communication and interaction dawned in Web 2.0. Corporations like Facebook built up huge network monopolies and made good money for the business of passing on data to advertising partners. Web 3.0 aims to remedy this problem. Social networks in which users retain control over data: That is the vision of the “new” Internet. With the fund, the development should get an initial spark.


Web 3.0 is still a long way off

The aim of the fund is therefore "to support the projects at the interface of social media and Web3 in order to research better ways of connecting people online," the press release said . The vision behind this would be “that a better version of the Internet is possible that gives users more power than the platforms”. Web 3.0 is therefore also an answer to “the current version as it is represented by the giants of social media” and which “strayed too far from the open source ideals of the early web”.

At least according to the idea. So far, Web 3.0 has been more of a wishful thinking. Projects suitable for the masses: Nothing. The fund is now supposed to take care of that, initially focusing on the development of social networks and games. Reddit co-founder Ohanian said: “We are still in the early days of Web 3.0, and the most obvious opportunities are currently in the area of ​​games and social networks”. Corresponding platforms “that are based on polygons of scalable infrastructure” are to be funded.

Cardano price forecast – price breaks out! Are we near $1.5 soon?

 In our last Cardano price prediction , we wrote that the price could break out soon. The reason for this was a symmetrical triangle. This triangle was performed after the crash, so we expected the price to break down. But now the course has broken out of the triangle in a bullish manner. But how far could the course rise or what is the goal? Today we will explain to you about the Cardano course ! Cardano price broke out of the triangle and was able to rally to the $1.19 resistance. We tested this resistance, and a short time later the price was sold off. The triangle's target was around $1.23, so we now believe the price has completed the target. As a result, we no longer expect a further increase. Instead, the price could now descend and possibly form new lows. If the price breaks the $1.19 resistance, the price could rally to around $1.5. There is the next resistance where the Cardano price could bounce. If Cardano price fails to break the $1.19 resistance, we would expect the p...

Cardano founder doubts Bitcoin's future as world reserve currency

  Cardano's founder doesn't believe Bitcoin has what it takes to become the world's leading currency. Charles Hoskinson stated in a recent interview that he didn't think Bitcoin would become the world reserve currency. According to the founder of Cardano, a cryptocurrency with smart contract features would become the global reserve currency. Hoskinson believes Cardano or Ethereum would become the world reserve currency. A global reserve currency must offer services like smart contracts, metadata standards, and improved throughput that complete enormous transactions per second. According to the Cardano founder , the scarcity of Bitcoin is due to the high cost of production: "If you make paintings, one of which you have to paint by hand and the other by machine, and both look the same and the demand for both is the same, then the effort for one is a thousand times greater than for the other." Hoskinson spoke about Bitcoin's massive energy consumption, addin...
