From Walled Gardens to Open Networks: LayerK and the Future of Digital Sovereignty
The internet’s original promise of unfettered freedom has been supplanted by walled gardens—closed ecosystems where centralized platforms dictate terms, control data flows, and monetize users. LayerK emerges as a blockchain-based counterweight, prioritizing collaboration and transparency over corporate control. Its infrastructure challenges the status quo by enabling digital sovereignty through decentralized architecture.
Where traditional platforms hoard data and restrict innovation, LayerK’s open-network approach could redefine value distribution in the digital economy. The project aligns with broader blockchain narratives around user empowerment, though its technical implementation remains untested at scale.
