Breaking the Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon dominance Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon have a Toxic Dominance on the World As the development at progressed, so did it’s vision. It started out with a project named an open, anonymous and decentralized cloud storage platform, but . ClusterLabs IpfsCloud : today it’s an ecosystem Where is it today? is an , providing , , and enabling decentralization. ClusterLabs open ecosystem apps infrastructure tools It aims to bring the Internet 3.0, in a friction-less way to the world. Sign-up for our beta testing program here: https://goo.gl/forms/Z9g3BVZrISV1gW8M2 Problems today , , and are a big problem with applications. Censorship privacy breach data monitoring Users are over their . losing control data It is a to build applications which solve this problem. cumbersome task for developers In short, this (to Internet 3.0) currently a process for both, . change is difficult users and developers Solution A new model of the Internet. This model: Allows to over their data. users gain control Allows developers to create which are (applications on this model from , ) applications user- friendly inherently free Censorship privacy breach , and data monitoring issues for developers. Drastically reduces cost to develop an application , making the applications as more users join. Scales with users cheaper and efficient brings this change(from the existing model to the new one) in a manner that is (not breaking the existing Internet) for both users and developers. ClusterLabs digestible and seamless Use cases Scenario 1: How will it change experience for the user? In the , applications manage data for the users. So, users can’t inherently restrict the service providers(email provider above). existing model They are on the mercy of the service providers. The allows users to manage their data(explained below). This inherently allows user to have full control over their data. , new model The service provider merely act as an interface to organize, share(sending emails) your data using their service. helps users and developers to shift to this model. ClusterLabs How it helps users to manage their data? decentralized network using IPFS Users of the new model can participate in the Here . Eventually, this will lead to a sustainable economy which can support the network organically. decentralized economy. users can rent out their storage and computation power to other users How it helps developers? the new model drastically reduces the infrastructure costs As all of the data is managed by the decentralized user network, the . cost for application development and scaling the drastically reduced to the developers, so that they can , rather that figuring out the internal working of the decentralized platforms. ClusterLabs provides the infrastructure, and the developer tools focus on building applications How would an ‘application’ be prevented simply copying or logging user data/sessions and use that data for its own means? This problem is still not totally solved. But we are proposing a solution which can solve it to some extent. . (But they also then sell the same data to wrong people). So, if the applications are able to give the same user experience without giving any data to the servers then the application creators don’t have any excuse for storing the user data. The reason applications store your data(preferences/history etc.) because they want to make the user experience better . (They can also put pre-trained models on the user-end to analyze the data and improve themselves; using the peer-to-peer network. Notice that, here we are not sharing user data among other users when performing swarm learning. We are just communicating the improved model parameters to each-other). So, if all of the data(preferences/history) is kept on the user-end, then it can be used by the application on run-time to enhance the user experience maybe even swarm learning Easily shift between service providers: Starting a more competitive ecosystem easily shift between different service providers The new model gives the power to the user to . shift between the service providers easily This starts a new ecosystem where (**cough damn Google **cough), which is one of the greatest headaches for the users today. applications can’t capture a user in its ecosystem Milestones Achieved 1. including: Live working ALPHA ( : ) demos Youtube : Google Drive on Ipfs(Live) IpfsCloud IpfsCloud : Hosting Websites on Ipfs(Live) IpfsHost and a .

Users need to be made aware more about this. Lack of Awareness among users : Like the internet took time to become what it is today, decentralization too, has a long way to go. But today we are connected to each other more than ever. Thus, if we have a better platform, we can accelerate its acceptance.
