CDN for web3: developing a framework for protocol layer
Recently, I finally decided to look into web3. Thanks to this interesting playlist from Crypto Startup School by a16z, I was able to develop a basic framework to understand web3. So, now it is time to put my framework to test. While, looking into web3 I came across Odysee, an interesting web3 alternative to YouTube. Another interesting project is Arweave which essentially acts as an alternative to cloud storage. When I was reading Arweave yellow paper, I came across a simple question. What I ...

What does web3 actually change?
The web3 ecosystem is full of keywords like crypto, blockchain, token, NFTs with a lot of things which a common user may not really care about like decentralisation, privacy, ownership etc. This leads me to 2 questions.
