Designing systems
for what comes after Web3.0
The spread of Web3.0 ideas and the rise of social media are changing how companies communicate with their customers and how people think about digital data. Cookie restrictions and revised personal-data protection laws are following, and a major shift is coming that will reach every part of the world.
Beyond Web3.0: the right balance between centralized and decentralized
UPBOND builds “Beyond Web3.0” infrastructure that combines the convenience of Web2.0 with the security of Web3.0. We design digital ecosystems that stay ahead of regulatory change and create value for both companies and consumers.
From Web2.0 to Web3.0 and Beyond
Web2.0Centralized
A single company holds the data and the permissions, so an attack on its servers can leak large amounts of personal data.
Beyond Web3.0Optimized hybrid
Puts Web3.0 technology to work with Web2.0 methods. The practical path: manage risk while moving toward decentralization step by step.
Web3.0Decentralized
In a decentralized network built on blockchain technology, transaction data is encrypted and shared among many users.
What UPBOND delivers
to companies
With UPBOND, companies can run marketing tailored to each consumer without holding personal data themselves.
What UPBOND delivers
to customers
Customers no longer need a separate ID and password for every company, and can choose at any time which information they receive.
