ChainCatcher News: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that in 2014 he envisioned building a decentralized, permissionless application network based on a tech stack. Today, all the conditions necessary to realize the original Web3 vision are in place and will continue to improve. Now is the time to build a decentralized world.

He mentioned that the decentralized messaging protocol Waku now supports applications like Railway and Status. IPFS offers strong performance as a decentralized file retrieval method, though storage issues need further improvement. Taking Fileverse as an example—a decentralized alternative to Google Docs/Sheets—its usability has been greatly enhanced. It uses Ethereum and Gnosis Chain to handle accounts, employs decentralized messaging and storage to process documents, and is open-source with an “exit testing” feature. He criticized the drawbacks of “corporate bloated products” and cited cases to demonstrate that the risks are real.

Today, decentralized applications like Fileverse are sufficiently user-friendly. He often uses them to write and collaborate on documents, contrasting sharply with the difficult-to-use decentralized apps of 2014. He calls on builders to jointly embrace the revival of decentralization.
