The risks of Internet centralization
In 2020, there were frequent attacks on blockchain network services. Two of the more well-known incidents were the attacks on uniswap's network services, which caused a large number of users to be unable to log in to uniswap to operate. Later, the team urgently used the ipfs protocol. To make the service run normally, the second is the interruption of the Infura service, which caused multiple exchanges to suspend the deposit and withdrawal of the Ethereum tokens.
Most dapp applications and exchanges are built on various centralized Internet cloud services, such as Amazon Cloud, Google Cloud etc. Coupled with centralized CDN acceleration service providers such as cloudflare, search engines are also controlled by giants such as Google and Microsoft etc. It can be said that the giants basically monopolize most of the Internet.
Basic Internet providers seem to provide good services, but they are in a monopoly position, they have damage the fairness of the market. The Internet urgently needs basic service facilities in a decentralized form and APRON provides a complete decentralized basic service that has attracted the attention of many people.
Advantages of APRON
APRON mainly provides middleware and basic services for the current blockchain industry, such as node services, on-chain data indexing, random number services, and digital currency quotation services. These services are also required by most current blockchain DAPPs, such as Random numbers provide a fair environment for dapps such as quizzes, and the quotation service provides services for various defi. This is a bit similar to an oracle. The same node service can enable various public chains or L2 nodes to complete decentralization, Protected from all types of DDOS attacks or other kinds of attacks.
It can be said that APRON provides a complete decentralized solution for the current blockchain network, enabling developers and project parties to conveniently use its functions to form their own network applications. At the same time, decentralization also greatly enhances the security of the system.
APRON leads blockchain to the Web 3.0 era
Since last year, Polkadot’s ecology has received market attention, and related facilities have gradually improved. Obviously, Polkadot’s parachains and slots are the focus of the bull market in 2021. Polkadot aims to build a new generation of the Internet. also known as web 3.0, in the framework of web 3.0, more infrastructure and network projects will replace the existing web 2.0 architecture, and make the Internet move towards a new era.
We all know that with the development of big data on the Internet, there are more and more problems under the influence of personal privacy, centralized power. In the US election last year, Twitter ban Trump account . During the campaign, brokerage Robin Hood banned retail investors from buyingGME stocks, making more people aware of the many problems existing in the Internet, and the new generation of Internet web 3.0 has attracted more attention.
A very important point in Web 3.0 is to break the monopoly of Internet giants and realize user data autonomy. At the same time, web 3.0 nodes are more decentralized. In this way, everything must be refactored, such as how user data can achieve self-control . How to break the effect, the security of the network, and how to retrieve information. These issues have some light due to the birth of Polkadot and the development of the ecology. The emergence of cross-chain and side-chain makes people quickly realize that this is a very important opportunity.
Web 3.0 is still in its infancy, although there are many types of web-based ecological projects and DAPP applications, there are few more important infrastructure projects such as chainlink, graph, litentry, etc., but there are still many aspects. Here, APRON’s API interface can be used to provide application data, and there is no need to worry about problems in the form of decentralization. The authenticity of the data is also guaranteed, and it is also crucial that cross-chain technology can be used in multiple public chain ecosystems.
Summarize
The world is changing, and this is the only constant truth. The road from the Internet to web3.0 may not be smooth, and there may be setbacks in the middle. In fact, Ethereum 2.0, Polkadot Parachain, Cosmos cross-chain ecology, IPFS, etc. are all areas that need to be combined in the later stage of web 3.0. For APRON, these ecology have a certain market share, and there is a trend to participate in the future waves. Grasping such an opportunity to provide underlying services for the public chain can promote the development of the entire ecosystem.
This is interesting to read although i dont really don't understand some of it. Do we really have to write about bitcoins or blockchain here?
