The Evolution of Web3 Wallets: Gateways to Decentralized Identity and Privacy

Chief Commercial Officer

90% of the world’s data and IT infrastructure is controlled by 5 private corporations, and we are supposed to trust them. Shockingly, the majority of critical Web3 infrastructure—dApps, services, and nodes—relies on centralized clouds like AWS and GCP. Where’s the decentralization? Openmesh is building a decentralized, permissionless cloud and data network without a middleman. With CCIP and our Decentralized Service Mesh Protocol (DSP), for the first time, we will see advanced decentralized apps, services, and protocols in 2025, accelerating industries like DeFi, GameFi, DeSci, DePIN, and cross-chain solutions. I consider open data and open infrastructures to be the future, and we must treat them as permissionless public digital infrastructure, accessible to anyone and open-source. I envision a world where data is out in the open, decentralized, and benefits everyone — not just a select few. This isn't just about technology; it's about shaping the next 10-20 years of the internet, preserving democracy, and ensuring a free flow of information for generations to come.

Web3 for Billions

Without a trustless way to access and query onchain activity, smart contracts can't scale to meet the demands of complex financial use-cases. That means DeFi can't accelerate. Space and Time has pioneered a sub-second ZK co-processor that delivers all of crypto's data to smart contracts in a trustless, verifiable and scalable way.
