Decentralized Web Summit 2018

I'm here to learn what's new in DWeb and how browsers can help. I see the web as a tool that allows everyone to participate in the creation and preservation of human culture. I'm personally interested in technologies that enable free participation (e.g. identity, annotation) and sustainable economic models with proper incentives for all participants so that the web can continue to flourish for the long run.
