"Web3: Learning from Amazon's Microservices to Unify and Thrive"

Web3, the next generation of the internet, is poised to revolutionize the digital landscape, but it must learn from the successes of web2 giants like Amazon to truly thrive. By adopting a microservices-style architecture, Web3 can create a robust, scalable, and user-friendly ecosystem that caters to the needs of businesses and users alike.

Amazon's success lies in its ability to break complex operations into specialized components, allowing it to scale specific services under pressure while maintaining normal operations for others. This architecture has enabled an entire ecosystem of businesses to build on top of AWS, each focusing on its core competency while leveraging a battle-tested infrastructure that provides a seamless user experience. Web3 should strive to replicate this model by creating specialized protocols that offer value across the entire digital economy.

Platform independence is key to Web3's future. Amazon recognizes that the value comes from providing infrastructure that powers business growth anywhere, rather than locking users and businesses within closed ecosystems. Web3 protocols should follow suit by offering specialized services like verifiable ownership or programmable assets that create value across the entire digital economy. The winners in Web3 will be those who provide essential infrastructure that makes business better everywhere, rather than building walled gardens.

The future of Web3 is not about building isolated chains but creating services that communicate seamlessly behind the scenes. Microservices, which handle each part of a user's experience asynchronously, are the key to achieving this. This Web3, which offers a seamless user experience along with verifiable ownership, permissionless participation, and programmable value transfer, is one that web2 cannot compete with.

However, the current Web3 landscape is fragmented, with users navigating an increasingly complex landscape of bridges, third-party solutions, and varying security assumptions. As rollups and application-specific chains proliferate, this fragmentation becomes a barrier to mainstream adoption. To address this, Web3 needs a unifying framework that enables these chains to communicate seamlessly, preserving trust minimization and allowing chains to maintain independence.

The technical foundation for Amazon-like experiences in Web3 requires reliable data availability, proof verification, and a coordination layer. Data availability ensures transaction information is properly published, while proof verification guarantees correct execution. The coordination layer aggregates these proofs while maintaining chain sovereignty. Crucially, such a system must preserve trust minimization, allowing users to verify both data availability and execution proofs without trusting intermediaries.

The challenge lies in aggregating different types of
