A unique Web3 network is in development to eliminate Big Tech’s domination of your data.

In the ever-changing digital world, a revolution is silently underway, driven by visionaries who dream of an internet where the user would regain their place as sovereign. At the heart of this transformation is the concept of Web3, considered by some to be the antidote to the excessive centralization of the Web as we know it today. Tegan Kline, CEO of Edge & Node, shares her vision of a digital future where control and ownership of personal data would return to users, far from the clutches of large corporations.

Edge & Node, a fervent promoter of the development of decentralized applications and protocols (dApps), is at the forefront of this revolt against a system where a handful of companies dictate the rules. This company stands behind The Graph, nicknamed the “Google of the web3”, a platform that aspires to make blockchain data a public good, through efficient and unfettered organization and dissemination. The Graph’s « subgraphs », similar to open APIs, play a crucial role in making data more accessible and usable by the general public.

But Web3 is not limited to redistributing the digital property cards. He opens the door to deep integration with artificial intelligence (AI). The Graph, with its recent cash injection, is gearing up to expand its services and actively contribute to improving network performance. A particularly ambitious goal lies in supporting the development of large language models (LLMs), such as those powered by OpenAI, highlighting the vital importance of data in the field of AI.

According to Kline, the time has come to rethink our relationship with AI, favoring an approach completely open source, both in terms of the code and the data feeding the models. This vision, still little shared within the traditional AI community, nevertheless remains a cornerstone for a future where AI and blockchain will form one, promising disruptive innovations and new power dynamics between users and digital technology.

The journey towards this ideal of Web3 and the equitable integration of AI into our digital daily lives has only just begun. With players like Edge & Node and The Graph, the web is weaving in a more inclusive and decentralized direction, potentially ushering in a new era for the Internet. A future where users, armed with their data, are at the center of the digital ecosystem, shaping with Web3 and AI tools, an online space that is truly their own.
