While the adoption of Web2 computing technologies has gained traction in both the consumer and enterprise segments, security breaches and privacy concerns continue to mar this space. Web3 computing, with its inherent ability to alleviate such issues, will likely see massive growth in the near future and eat into Web2 computing’s market share, says a report by Huobi Research Institute.
In Web3 computing, compute power from each user is shared across the blockchain network for data processing. User data is protected by a private key while data computed is verified by public key. Data is then networked from blocks to miners in a proof of work system, or validators in a proof of stake system. Results are generated when miners or validators compute the data from the blocks.
Titled “Web3 Computing: Where are the Opportunities and How to Avoid Traps”, the report contends Web3 computing has room to grow in the decentralized cloud computing, distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) and decentralized Virtual Private Network (dVPN) segments and examines each in detail.
The report notes that centralized entities, which are prevalent in the Web2 world, are susceptible to data breaches because of the way data is stored, transferred and networked. As a single set of nodes is responsible for protecting multiple data sources, Web2 computing is subject to a single point of failure. Data colonialism is also of concern, with questions raised over data ownership by current tech giants. Web3 computing’s focus on user privacy will combat such concerns and fuel its growth.
Demand for Web3 computing will be dependent on demand from other blockchain networks, NFT data links and marketplaces, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) enterprises.
Blockchain-powered AI processing and computing has the potential to solve automation bottlenecks as on-chain data fed by users could drive neural networks to learn much faster than they do today using Web2 technologies. Such improvements in automation could solve existing problems present in the healthcare and manufacturing industries, among others.
In the dVPN market, focus will be placed on forging private and secure connections, as data is processed on-chain.
“The AI and deep-neural network market backed by the power of the blockchain is still in its early stages of development but holds great potential to add value to enterprise applications,” says Dave Lee, Researcher at Huobi Research Institute and author of the report. “The dVPN market will also see growth in the near future as citizens demand greater privacy and censorship-resistant networks.”
