Problem:

• We want to keep the experiments for payments/billing/usage report/authentication coherent and unified
• We also want to have multiple distributed gateways of the network.
• These are the tensions between a centralizing vs decentralizing different components.

Solution:

• Provide an API that allows someone to emerge as a great UI for payments/billing/usage report/authentication, yet distributes the provisioning of the service to various gateways operated by multiple organisations.
• By defining a protocol, there also exists competition at that UI level, but gateway operators/providers of service would have an established way of communicating with that UI, in a standardized way, and move to use the best front-end (or use multiple).
• May the best win!

The Web3 Gateway (W3G)

Problem

dapps today still rely on centrally hosted endpoints to do the bulk of their work, so dapp users are not fully independent: they cannot take the front end, run with it and still use the app living on the blockchain.
