Web2 vs Web3 Search

As the internet evolves, the limitations and shortcomings of Web2 have become more apparent, prompting the need for Web3 search engines. Web2 is characterized by its centralized nature, where a few dominant platforms control the majority of online content and data. However, this centralization has led to several issues that make Web3 search engines necessary.

One of the issues with Web2 is the vulnerability of search engines to manipulation by phishing websites. These websites can pay to have their content displayed at the top of search results, which undermines the accuracy and reliability of search results, making it difficult for users to find relevant and trustworthy information. Furthermore, the ranking algorithm of Web2 search engines can be easily manipulated by SEO black hat techniques, causing low-quality or fraudulent websites to rank higher while high-quality websites are excluded from search results.

Another issue with Web2 is the collection and monetization of user data by service providers. Web2 platforms collect and sell user data to advertising companies, compromising user privacy and security. This practice has raised concerns about the potential misuse of user data and the need for more secure and decentralized platforms that prioritize user privacy.

Additionally, Web2 search engines cannot index and search decentralized Web3 data, which is stored on blockchain networks and distributed ledgers. This makes it challenging for users to find information related to Web3 projects, such as cryptocurrency transactions, decentralized applications, and smart contracts.

To address these issues, decentralized search engines that operate on the principles of Web3 are needed. Decentralized search engines can use blockchain technology, distributed networks, and algorithm technology to improve the accuracy, neutrality, and privacy of search results. Decentralized search engines can guarantee the fairness and neutrality of search results through technical means, and protect copyrights and encourage user sharing and authorization. Additionally, they can distribute data storage across network nodes to improve data security and reliability.

Here comes W3Goo, a web3 search engine that provides users with access to all the content of web2 and web3, including on-chain data and content creation platforms. This means that users can access all the information they need on the decentralized web without having to use multiple tools or platforms.

With W3Goo, users can easily view their multi-address wallet assets, identify whether a hash value is a user wallet or token address, and obtain real-time token prices, transaction links, and project updates.

How W3Goo improve the status quo of Web2 search

For users, we have:

  • Phishing website detection: In the Web3 ecosystem, phishing websites are a common problem. Attackers often use social engineering techniques to trick users into entering their private keys or other confidential information. W3Goo’s phishing website detection feature uses smart contracts and AI technology to automatically identify and flag potential phishing websites, thereby protecting users from the threat of phishing attacks on the network.
  • Protection of User Privacy and Browsing History: W3Goo prioritizes user privacy and does not store any personal information or browsing history. This means that users can search for information on the web3 without worrying about their data being tracked or exposed.
  • Comprehensive Access to Data and Content: W3Goo provides users with access to all data and content from both web2 and web3. This means that users can search for information, track transactions, and monitor the performance of decentralized applications without having to switch between different platforms or tools.
  • AI Technology: W3Goo uses AI technology to optimize search results for users. By leveraging chartGPT, W3Goo can understand user queries and provide more accurate and relevant results.
  • User-Friendly Data Processing: W3Goo processes raw data to make it more user-friendly. This means that users can easily understand and interpret on-chain data without having to be technical experts.
  • Blockchain DID: W3Goo offers SBT for users who are willing to interact publicly and have their wallet addresses tagged based on their interaction patterns. This incentivizes users to engage with Web3 and participate in the creation of a blockchain DID system.

For projects, we provide:

  • Data API: W3Goo provides a data API that allows other projects to access our user data, subject to user consent. This makes it easier for other projects to leverage the data collected by W3Goo and create more valuable and innovative services for users.
  • Functional SDK: W3Goo offers a functional SDK that allows projects to integrate a search bar and use W3Goo’s search engine directly. This means that other projects can benefit from the advanced search capabilities of W3Goo without having to develop their own search technology.

Comparison with others

In conclusion, W3Goo is a fully-featured web3 search engine that prioritizes user privacy while maximizing the value of data. By leveraging AI technology, W3Goo provides accurate and relevant search results to users.

Additionally, W3Goo is committed to becoming a middleware for the DID system by providing data indexing and support for the improvement of DID systems.
