Point Network: World's First Full Web 3?
I was on Twitter today and saw a promoted tweet that caught my eye. Normally, I wouldn't pay attention to ads there but then something on it got me intrigued so off I went for a little adventure.

**"World's First Full Web 3.0 Architecture"**, these are the very words that piqued some interest and so I had to go take a look at their website.

<h2>We keep seeing Web 3.0 but what is it really?</h2>

It's the next phase or iteration on the web --- the so-called Decentralized Internet and I have to quote Point Network on this one on its simplest definition of what web 3 is:
> *"Open for everyone, censorship-resistant, permissionless, privacy-oriented internet with programmable money built right in."* *[(Source)](https://pointnetwork.io/)*

I think that's clear enough, yes? 

According to [Investopedia](https://www.investopedia.com/web-20-web-30-5208698), the features of web 3 are as follows:
- Decentralization *(which basically means users have greater control.)*
- Trustless and permissionless *(no intermediaries and governing bodies needed)*
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning *(faster and more accurate and relevant search results without human intervention)*
- Connectivity and ubiquity *(information and content are more connected and ubiquitous, accessed by multiple applications)*

<h2>And so what is Point Network?</h2>

Again, I have to quote their bold claims from their website:

> *Point Network is the newest framework that is taking over Web3: decentralized browser + decentralized domains + decentralized storage + decentralized identities.* *[(Quoted)](https://pointnetwork.io)*

> *It’s the only “real web3” at the moment, which is not relying on any web2 components, making it impossible to shut it down, censor, or compromise via centralized components.* *[(Quoted)](https://pointnetwork.io)*

At least they admit they are not there yet. And I believe no one is yet, but LeoFinance and Hive are working towards it.

**Accordingly, Point Network will have the following features:**

- **Point Browser**

<space>

- **Decentralized Domains**
One will get a dot point (.point) domain which cannot be censored or taken away. (farmgirl.point sounds odd to me, lol)
<space>
<space>
- **Decentralized Storage**
	"*dApps on Point can only load files and assets uploaded onto decentralized storage (powered by Arweave), to ensure censorship-resistance, privacy and uptime."* *[(Quoted from PN)](https://pointnetwork.io/)*
<space>
<space>

- **Decentralized Identities**
		 One can *"log into Point with one seed phrase, and you will instantly have addresses and be logged into every dApp on Point, Ethereum, Solana and other chains."* *[(Quoted from PN)](https://pointnetwork.io/)*
<space>
<space>
- **Point Social**
*"One of our flagship dApps, uncensorable web3 social network on Point Chain. No more Big Tech censorship, personal data abuse, or profit-maximizing algorithms."* *[(Quoted from SPN)](https://pointnetwork.io/)*
<space>
<space>
- **Point Mail**
*"Decentralized end-to-end encrypted email on web3. The architecture safer than ProtonMail delivers a big blow to mass-surveillance by governments."* *[(Quoted from PN)](https://pointnetwork.io/)*
<space>
<space>
- **Multichain dApps**
*"Point Network is capable of connecting to multiple chains at once, allowing you to use your favorite dApps on other chains right from Point Browser."* *[(Quoted from PN)](https://pointnetwork.io/)*

**Other interesting things:**

I have just downloaded the Alpha software and will test it then probably write my experience at another time.

Meanwhile, they are having a [Bounty Campaign](https://pointnetwork.io/?i=545789134452) *(this is a referral link)* where one completes some Quests to get rewarded with POINTS. There are currently 2 very simple quests (on Twitter) which I myself is yet to do, lol!

And I'm yet to read their Litepaper and Whitepaper. Seen their [roadmap](https://roadmap.pointnetwork.io/) and some of the features are "Alpha Ready" per their label.

It would be interesting to see further whether or not Point Network is going to deliver what it claims.
