In this era where information flows so rapidly that it’s almost impossible to stop, I’ve begun to realize a somewhat unsettling truth.
Knowledge about Web3 is constantly updating, yet very little of it is truly preserved. Every day, new narratives, protocols, and perspectives emerge, but when you look back after a few months, many of the once-important discussions are hard to find in their entirety. They haven’t been refuted; they’ve simply disappeared. This is also why the existence of @Permaweb_DAO has made me start to rethink the fundamental structure of Web3. They’ve been reminding the community that although Web3 has built a powerful value network, it has not simultaneously established a truly reliable long-term memory layer. Information is continuously generated, but there’s no stable way to permanently store, reference, and reuse it. This deficiency might go unnoticed in the short term, but in the long run, it could impact the entire industry’s ability to evolve. Because systems without memory find it difficult to truly accumulate wisdom. Permaweb DAO is not just raising questions; they are also pushing for practical implementation. From spreading the concept of permanent storage, to supporting ecosystem development based on Arweave and AO, to exploring media formats like Permacast, they are essentially trying to build a Web3 that will not forget. This gives me a very strong feeling. Perhaps in the future, the most important thing about Web3 won’t be who spreads information the fastest, but who leaves a lasting impact the longest. Because when future AI and intelligent agents need to understand this era, they won’t look at trending charts, but will read those data that have been permanently preserved. So the real core question becomes: when we talk about decentralization, are we just decentralizing assets but not decentralizing memory? What Permaweb DAO is doing, in essence, is building memory for Web3. If this succeeds, then the future internet will not just be a functioning system, but a civilization layer that will not forget. @Galxe @GalxeQuest @easydotfunX @wallchain
