Really Simple Syndication (RSS) – the pioneering data distribution protocol experiencing major adoption on the internet – has reportedly had its eyes on Web3, via introducing “RSS3”.

Specifically, as detailed in a technical white paper introduced on February 7th, RSS3 reportedly revealed plans for bringing its well-known internet feed update to Web3. 

RSS3 reportedly aims to equip each entity with an RSS3 file that will function as source data and will be subjected to continuous updating. 

The source data file then can reportedly operate as an aggregation of all the cyber activities, which will later offer the freedom to develop into social media, content networks, games, and other data-driven applications.

The source data will have a grasp over the particular information to broadcast and what needs to be kept private.

RSS reportedly operates as a feed file carrying a summary of a website’s updates, normally in a list of articles with hyperlinks. The feeds are supposed to have a decentralized nature, contributing as a primary factor to the information exchange process throughout the internet. 

Nonetheless, the monopoly of centralized web hosting services providers has led to the creation of the decentralized RSS3.

The white paper further revealed that designing a decentralized information processing protocol from ground zero was a fairly difficult mission, with a minimum of extra six to eight months to create RSS3 nodes.

The developers are reportedly also in the process of creating a decentralized autonomous organization network but believe a true decentralization will take time.
