Web3? I have my DAOts
It&#x27;s disingenuous for the author to present instances where some level of trusted actors is required in the near-term to make a service operational as voiding any claim of decentralization; obviously, the centralization of a network exists on a spectrum and where it&#x27;s present in Web3 tech it&#x27;s almost invariably more limited in scope than the centralization of their Web2.0 counterparts.  Likewise his claim that APIs represent the same sort of composability as intrinsically public smart contracts belies the extent to which companies limit the usage of their APIs, assuming they give access at all.  And that true composability of Web3.0 should temper concerns about centralization: if ever powerful figures in a project breach some threshold of control tolerated by the community, the project can trivially be forked and their positions removed.  Where trustlessness can&#x27;t be hardcoded into the system it can be achieved through the alignment of incentives, and the result is services that are more beholden to their users than any that have come before them.<p>As for real-world applications of this technology that couldn&#x27;t be achieved prior, I&#x27;d point to Helium [1].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.helium.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.helium.com&#x2F;</a>
