Web3 Is Being Used To Preserve History Threatened by Wars

From Timbuktu to Ukraine, blockchain technology is playing a role in preserving significant artifacts.

“With this system, people will solve the storage solutions problem,” Theresa Kennedy, founder of Black History DAO, told CoinDesk TV’s “First Mover” on Friday.

Kennedy, a self-proclaimed crypto anthropologist, said that with Web3, people will be able to access and contribute to the information that is added on a blockchain.

The Black History DAO, which is curated by members of its community, seeks to address the problem of preserving ancient African text, a similar problem literary critic Henry Louis Gates Jr. tried to address years ago, Kennedy said. That project fell short of preserving the Timbuktu manuscripts, after Islamist rebels took control in 2013 and destroyed many of documents. Some, however, were saved and now live online.

Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested that Hong Kong refer to IPO to provide innovative financing models for Web3

Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, wrote an article in the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po titled "Leading the Digital Economy by Adapting to the Web3 Trend". The article pointed out that developing Web3+ has both advantages and new challenges. The Hong Kong government has taken an important step in the direction of developing Web3 and the digital economy by formulating a short- to medium-term strategic development blueprint, ensuring that policies and resources are in place, and promoting the construction of Web3+ application scenarios. Focusing on Web3, establishing an international innovation financing platform can not only help Hong Kong leverage its traditional financial advantages, but also help it become a global digital technology center. It is suggested to refer to the mature mode of existing enterprises' IPOs in Hong Kong, provide an innovative financing model for Web3, and create a market trend and service competitive advantage to promote the development of the industry and attract upstream and downstream of the industry chain at home and abroad to gather in Hong Kong.
