The big difference between Web3 and Web2 is who owns the data. In the Web3 ecosystem, the individual can control and manage information based on the right to self-determination. It is possible to exercise rights to the data without the intervention of intermediaries or central controllers.

He continued, “In recent years, there have been various initiatives and movements within the blockchain industry to improve the areas of transparency, accountability, and security.”
CEO Simpson said, “The role of blockchain technology is to store and transmit information and value, and it has the advantage that data is distributed, safe, and transparently managed. It has the potential to transform a variety of industries, such as finance, health care and supply chain management etc.”
“Decentralization is important in the Web3 ecosystem,” he said, “which is to reduce the influence and dependency of central authority.”
Ethan Zhao, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), emphasized, “The SAO Network intends to provide a decentralized storage infrastructure. To this end, it will increase data accessibility, support high data availability, unlimited hot data storage and data privacy.”
“It is necessary to provide an open, permissionless storage network for all Web3 participants and decentralized applications.” “We will make it possible to access data efficiently.” “To this end, we have integrated with the IPFS protocol to ensure that the data stored on the SAO network is decentralized and secure,” he added.
