Reasons OPL is Bullish on 0G
Optimistic about Modular Blockchains (Compared to Monolithic Structures)
You are likely familiar with names like Eigenlayer, Celestia, and Avail. You may wonder why developers and investors are so fervently interested in the concept of modular blockchains, particularly the data availability (DA) layer. The reason is simple: we still have a long way to go before achieving widespread adoption of blockchain, and scalability is a significant challenge. Upon closer inspection, we find that the limitations in scalability primarily stem from the monolithic structure of traditional blockchains. In response, the development of modular blockchains is seen as a promising strategy to address these scalability challenges.
Advantages of Modular Blockchains:
Scalability: Unlike monolithic blockchains that handle all transactions on a single layer, modular blockchains allow specific modules to be updated or modified as needed, enhancing network scalability.
Flexibility: Modular blockchains provide developers with unparalleled freedom to create bespoke applications with custom mechanisms and rules, contrasting sharply with the fixed structure of monolithic blockchains.
Shared Security: By leveraging existing consensus mechanisms and validators from other networks within the same ecosystem, modular blockchains avoid the need to develop these systems from scratch, facilitating secure cross-chain connections, with modular Layer-2 networks being a prime example.
Positive Impact of the Combination of AI and Web3
Q: Why must AI be decentralized?
A: The world's most powerful technologies should not be controlled by a few organizations.
- Decentralized Databases
Decentralized databases ensure individuals have control over their data, countering the monopolistic control that large companies often exert over user information. They grant users complete autonomy over their data, establishing some of the most reliable data sharing and storage systems. This shift not only empowers users but also introduces a new paradigm of data governance and accessibility.
- Decentralized AI
Decentralized AI transforms traditionally opaque AI systems into transparent networks using blockchain technology. This shift enables machine intelligence to coordinate towards common goals in open and trustless environments, allowing applications to deploy AI without relying on a small number of powerful organizations. Currently, most AI technologies are centralized, controlled by a few influential entities, limiting the potential for broader democratization of the technology and concentrating social, financial, and creative power. By distributing the development and governance of AI across various entities, it better aligns with diverse human needs, fostering the development of various applications rather than being dominated by a single culture of a few models. Furthermore, decentralized AI serves as a safeguard against the risks of mass surveillance and manipulation by centralized entities, protecting individuals from potential abuses of advanced technology.
The Positive Impact of Entrepreneurs and Investors
I have known Michael and Ada for nearly a decade. I have watched them navigate the Web2 industry, facing numerous challenges and solving many real-world problems. I fondly remember 2017, spending hours discussing Web3 opportunities with Michael. After years of effort, OnePiece Labs and Michael's 0G have teamed up again! I am thrilled to collaborate with old friends to create the next chapter of the first modular AI chain!
Although I have not yet met all the startup team members in person, our multiple cross-timezone calls have convinced me that this team is composed of experienced entrepreneurs. They have previously created unicorn companies like Conflux and Garten and successfully raised and generated hundreds of millions in revenue!
