W3ES DAO

Web3 Encryption Services

Web3 needs modern security tools, that are easy to use, and built on blockchain.

Web3 Encryption Services (W3ES) aims to foster and maintain a community of individuals, organizations, and agents with the purpose of ensuring a secure, self-sovereign, and decentralized future for Web3 and its users.

Develop

Build, test, audit, and release open-source primitives, tools,and libraries for the Web3 community.

Support

Manage, deploy, and collect funds and resources in support of the Web3 community.

Community

Education, advocacy, interaction, and adoption are critical to a safer, self-sovereign Web3. Commited to grow a community of experts, users, and builders.

The Problem...

Web3 continues to evolve and build decentralized infrastructure like storage, virtualization, and web services. This infrastructure, however, relies on existing protocols like HTTP and TCP/IP, including encryption primitives such as SSL/TLS, which remains largely unchanged since introduced in 1995. This basis of security is highly centralized, complex, and vulnerable. Therefore, Web3 inherits many of the same risks it intends to mitigate through decentralization.

Our Solution...

Democratize effective encryption for Web3 for all end-users. To meet this end, the libraries must be simple to understand and implement, thoroughly audited, and meet the evolving needs of the Web3 community.

How we do it...

What we've done so far!

We intend to publish the suite as Free and Open-Source (FOSS), under the guidance and management of a community-supported Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Revenues generated as gasrelated nano-transactions will be routed through the DAO to supporters and maintaining developers. In the meanwhile, Guer has been active in the community, building strategic partnerships and collecting community feedback. Notably:
