Braxton sees the evolution of the internet into its third iteration, Web3, as a return to the original ethos of the internet: a democratized platform for freedom, expression of ideas, and free speech. He views the centralization of control during the Web 2.0 era as a deviation from this ethos, where a few major corporations gained disproportionate influence over what was supposed to be a decentralized and open space. Through the lens of his extensive experience, Braxton foresees Web3 and blockchain technology as the backbone of a new internet that reclaims this lost promise.
