PANews reported on January 14 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that he envisioned building a decentralized, permissionless application network based on the technology stack in 2014. Now, all the conditions for realizing the original Web3 vision are in place and will continue to improve, and it is time to build a decentralized world.

He mentioned that the decentralized messaging protocol Waku already supports applications like Railway and Status, and IPFS, as a decentralized file retrieval method, boasts strong performance, but its storage issues need improvement. He cited Fileverse, a decentralized alternative to Google Docs/Sheets, as an example, highlighting its significantly improved usability. It utilizes Ethereum and the Gnosis chain for account management, uses decentralized messaging and storage for document processing, and has passed "off-site testing" through open source. He criticized the various drawbacks of "bloated enterprise products" and cited case studies to demonstrate the risks. He noted that decentralized applications like Fileverse are now quite usable, and he frequently uses them for writing and collaborating on documents, a stark contrast to the difficulty of using decentralized applications in 2014. He called on builders to jointly embrace the decentralized revival.
