The Facebook-a-zation of crypto. Is the cryptosphere looking more and more like the centralized internet that came in the wake of social media and data giants? What are the stakes and who are the players? #selfcustody#openinternet
For the past few months I've been contributing to NovaProxy (novaproxy.online), an open anti-censorship project that helps people inside Iran access the free and open internet.
It's been an honour to work alongside incredibly smart and brave people inside Iran who risk so much just to stay connected to the world. Every blocked website that opens, every family video call that goes through, every student who can reach the resources they need... that's what keeps this work meaningful.
Access to information is a basic human right. No firewall should stand between people and the truth.
We are closer than ever to a free Iran. Until that day, we keep building.

چند هفته ای هست که افتخار همکاری با پروژه NovaProxy (novaproxy.online) رو دارم، یک پروژه ضد سانسور که به مردم داخل ایران کمک میکنه به اینترنت آزاد دسترسی داشته باشن.
کار کردن در کنار آدمهای باهوش و شجاعی که داخل ایران هستن و برای متصل موندن به دنیا ریسکهای بزرگی میکنن، برام یک افتخار واقعیه. هر سایتی که باز میشه، هر تماس تصویری خانوادگی که برقرار میشه، هر دانشجویی که به منابع مورد نیازش میرسه... همینهاست که این کار رو معنادار میکنه.
دسترسی به اطلاعات یک حق اساسی انسانیه. هیچ فیلتری نباید بین مردم و حقیقت قرار بگیره.
ما از همیشه به ایران آزاد نزدیکتریم. تا اون روز، به ساختن ادامه میدیم.

🚨 Google’s AI Overhaul Backfires Spectacularly
youtube.com/watch?v=jQyKd1_e…
Google's latest "biggest upgrade" to Search in 25 years—AI Mode powered by Gemini—has triggered a major user exodus to DuckDuckGo🇺🇸, whose no-AI search traffic surged 30-70%. Users are rejecting the shift from link-based results to AI-generated answers that dominate the page.
••➤ AI Mode now pushes conversational agents and summaries, burying traditional blue links and dissolving user control over information evaluation.
••➤ Accuracy hovers at 91% but with massive sourcing failures—over half of citations don't support claims—leading to 57M wrong answers hourly at Google scale.
••➤ 93% of AI searches produce zero clicks to external sites, starving independent creators and journalism of traffic/revenue.
••➤ DuckDuckGo wins by offering choice: AI when wanted, none when not—something Google’s business model blocks.
••➤ This exposes deeper issues: forced AI deployment erodes trust and risks collapsing the open internet's economic foundation.
Inferred Theme Analysis: Google prioritizes metrics and investor returns over user preference and ecosystem health, accelerating backlash against top-down AI integration.

This is what real decentralized applications look like: fast, private, cheap, and actually usable by normal people. No more “connect wallet → pay gas → wait for Infura”.

As of May 18, Myanmar leads Daily Conduit Connections by Region with over 6.5 million connections, followed by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.
Behind every number is someone reaching past censorship to access the open internet. This is what digital freedom looks like.

Nobody talks about the routing problem. Let me fix that.
every blockchain has a free-rider problem baked in.
Miners get paid. Stakers get paid. But the nodes that actually move your transactions across the network? they serve the data for free and eat the bandwidth cost.
This means running a node is charity work. most people don't do charity work for long.
So what happens? node count drops. Network gets centralized. a handful of infrastructure providers end up running everything. sound familiar? it should it's exactly how the internet broke.
Saito's answer is Routing Work.
Instead of paying for block creation (PoW) or token ownership (PoS), Saito pays for the actual work of routing transactions. nodes that process the most fee-bearing transactions get the most rewards.
This creates a self-sustaining network. The more people use it, the more nodes profit. the more nodes profit, the more nodes join. the more nodes, the more decentralized and resilient the network becomes.
This is the design logic that every other L1 quietly skipped. Saito didn't.
If you care about Web3 actually becoming what it promised this is the project paying attention to the details that matter.

Data is only valuable if it lasts. The Defiant leveraging #Filecoin ensures its reporting remains accessible long-term, beyond centralized risks. This is how digital history should be handled. #Web3#DeFi#OpenInternet
As of April 8, 2026, Iran's internet shutdown had exceeded 39 consecutive days, making it the longest nationwide internet disruption ever recorded in Iran and anywhere else in the world.
Situations like this remind us why internet freedom matters, and why keeping your Conduit station running is so important.
Internet situations change fast. Keep your Conduit station on, you never know when someone in Iran, or anywhere else in the world, might need it.
