How decentralized protocols are revolutionizing today's data infrastructure and the distributed web

It's not about web2 vs. web3. Rather, Web3 represents an inevitable evolution of where humanity currently stands with the latest version of the web(Web2). One of the most significant areas where Web3 is making a mark is in the realm of cloud data infrastructure. The talk will delve in to how decentralized protocols such as IPFS are revolutionizing today's data infrastructure and the distributed web. The new ways of interacting with data are not only transforming the way we store and access data, but also challenging our preconceived notions of the internet and its capabilities by breaking down the data and identity silos. As a result, there is a paradigm shift in the way we interact with the internet, with a more open, decentralized, and trustless experience for all. Are we there yet? Just as with many other areas of technological development, it takes years of iteration and improvement to reach the key milestones in history. And in the same way, while we have come a long way, there's still a long way to go. This is part of the journey!
