Yaniv Tal, founder of The Graph, discusses building consumer apps for a user-owned, privacy-first Web3. He highlights the dominance of Web2 apps, emphasizing the need for user freedom and data ownership in Web3. Yaniv introduces knowledge graphs as a core primitive for interoperable, composable data across applications, crucial for both public and private data. He unveils GRC20, a new standard for interoperable knowledge graphs, and Hyperraph, a local-first framework enabling real-time, privacy-preserving, and interoperable Web3 consumer apps. Hyperraph leverages CRDTs and end-to-end encryption for private data, and GRC20/IPFS for public data, allowing developers to build open, interconnected apps on Ethereum. Yaniv demonstrates building a fashion app using these tools, showcasing rapid development and collaboration. He encourages developers to join the ETHGlobal hackathon, aiming to expand Ethereum’s ecosystem beyond DeFi to diverse, user-empowering applications. 00:00 Introduction 00:33 Yaniv Tal’s Background & Motivation 01:19 Web2 vs Web3 Consumer Apps 02:13 The Value of User Freedom & Data Ownership 03:14 Introduction to Knowledge Graphs 04:13 Open, Interconnected Knowledge Graphs 05:12 Privacy, Permissions, and Interoperability 06:05 GRC20: Standard for Knowledge Graphs 06:43 The Role of Frameworks in App Growth 07:47 Announcing Hyperraph: Local-First Web3 Framework 08:39 Privacy, Real-Time Sync, and Data Interoperability 09:03 Building Apps with Hyperraph (Demo) 11:00 Organizing Public Knowledge & Data Sets 11:34 Private Data Spaces & Collaboration 12:47 Expanding App Possibilities on Ethereum 13:15 Hyperraph Team & Hackathon Invitation 13:59 Call to Action & Closing Remarks _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *Pragma Cannes* Pragma Cannes 2025 was held on July 3rd at the Carlton Cannes in Cannes, France and was an in-person summit for builders and leaders in the web3 ecosystem.

Web3Summit · Aug 21, 2024

Closing Web3Summit Keynote given by the great Richard Stallman. The video features a talk by Richard Stallman, a prominent figure in the free software movement, who emphasizes the moral imperative of software freedom over the more pragmatic approach of open source. He introduces free software as a concept that respects user freedom and community, outlining the four essential freedoms that define it: the freedom to run the program for any purpose, to study and change the source code, to redistribute copies, and to distribute modified versions. Stallman highlights the dangers of proprietary software, which can control and harm users for corporate profit. He recounts the history of the GNU operating system and Linux kernel, which together provide a free software alternative. The video also discusses how maintaining freedom sometimes requires sacrifices and avoiding non-free applications or JavaScript. The goal is to encourage viewers to join the free software movement and maintain control over their digital lives.
