Today the community had a wonderful discussion on
#w3bstream . Summarizing the views is very helpful in understanding
#w3bstream .
1️⃣ Question: Why does the
#depin device need to be connected to w3bstream? What is the purpose of access?
Answer: w3bstream is a decentralized off-chain computing protocol that integrates zk. Help depin devices calculate, process, and store data, generate trustworthy certificates on the chain, and protect data privacy.
Without w3bstream, the device data processing of the depin project is processed and stored in a single centralized system. There is a risk of data tampering and it is difficult to protect data privacy.
2️⃣ Question: Why launch w3bstream? And its strategic purpose?
Answer: w3bstream can be regarded as an independent project and can issue coins independently, but it does not do this. It uses a rigid requirement to pledge
$IOTX and involves iotx in the integrated depin project.
Each chain has projects that it wants to depin, or in other words, each depin project will choose a popular public chain, not necessarily the
#iotex public chain. At this time, you can use the w3bstream protocol, so you need to pledge iotx and use iotx tokens in disguise.
