BIG NEWS! 📣 We're pleased to announce that Fission has received an $800,000 USD grant to support further applied research of the InterPlanetary Virtual Machine (IPVM) protocols and the Homestar reference implementation from the Arcological Association and the IPFS Network Capital Pool.

We're also #hiring a full-time software engineer to work on the Homestar implementation.

The decentralized web, or Web3, has several key characteristics that differentiate it from Web2. We are moving beyond centralized platforms and walled gardens that hold users and their data hostage and are instead transitioning to a web that grants users agency - making them active participants in everything from data storage to access to distribution. https://fission.codes/blog/seven-principles-of-the-decentralized-web/ #decentralizedweb #dweb #web3

CIDs are immutable hard links, so if even one byte of data is altered, a new CID will be generated during the hashing process. This helps ensure content authenticity in a decentralized and trustless environment. #contentaddressing #decentralizedweb #web3

It is vital that your app is encrypted and safe from hackers. An advantage to using a distributed system is that no central point of failure can be targeted.

With local-first apps, the data never leaves the user's device, mitigating much of the risk.

And bonus: It's GDPR compliant! 👍 #localfirst #webappdevelopment #decentralizedweb

Can’t view tweets without being logged in and now can’t read too many when logged in. It’s crumbling.

Reddit and Twitter were very centralized locations for information sharing. I hope people invest more in info sites and blogs again. #twitter #DecentralizedWeb

Protocol Engineer Brian and Head of Design Ryan created a workshop that gives users hands-on experience using WNFS and the ODD App Template. Make your own ODD Avatar 👀 today! https://fission.codes/blog/odd-avatars-workshop/ #decentralizedweb #localfirstapp

Today on the blog, learn how Fission works with others to build a decentralized web ecosystem. https://fission.codes/blog/fission-friends-contributing-to-an-ecosystem/ #decentralizedweb #web3

Building apps on the decentralized web comes with several green🌱 benefits.

For example, instead of sending data to a server at a data center, data can be stored locally or at or near the edge. Fission's WNFS is a distributed file system built on IPFS, a hypermedia P2P protocol that stores data on various nodes in the network. Apps with WNFS also enjoy offline access, reducing the need for constant Internet access! https://fission.codes/blog/building-a-greener-internet/ #ipfs #decentralizedweb

At Fission, we're building a virtual machine that seeks to make open-world compute possible with decentralized computation workflows. We want an open, multitier system that runs everywhere, connects all the world's users and services, and is substantially better than Web 2.0.

With the support of Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web, #TechSoup launched Accelerating Makers, a new project to increase the number of #DecentralizedWeb tools that can be effectively used by #CivilSociety organizations.

DIDs say who you are. (AuthN - authentication)
UCANs say what you can do (AuthZ - authorization)

Learn more about UCANs on the Fission blog: https://fission.codes/blog/ipfs-thing-2023-ucan-decentralize-auth/ #decentralizedweb #ipfs #web3

What components make up a UCAN? How do they make authorization simpler, decentralized, and more secure? What can you do with UCANs? The answers to all these questions and more, today on the blog: https://fission.codes/blog/ipfs-thing-2023-ucan-decentralize-auth/ #decentralizedweb #ucan

New to WNFS? Here's a an overview of our versioned and encrypted file system built on top of IPFS. https://fission.codes/blog/ipfs-thing-2023-wnfs/ #ipfs #decentralizedweb #protocolengineering

Looking to get started with our protocols? Why not check out our ODD SDK 👀 templates? We have Svelte and React versions that handle user accounts, authorization, encrypted file storage, and key management. https://odd.dev/templates/ #decentralizedweb #web3
