Metaverse Features I want to invite friends without convincing them to download software. So instead, link to my site, and load it into my game apartment. I want to see interesting social events and have the ability to meet like-minded tech people through an immersive developing marketplace.

I see a place for centralized or semi-centralized competing systems like the . FIDO2 alliance In fact- . I don’t see #web3 as a realistic solution Rather a pure ideology for decentralization. I prefer of FIDO-like and DeCe-like projects and products. referring to #web4 as a co-existing ecosystem That is, prioritizing the consumer preference to reign as de facto King.
