In the context of extreme societal polarization, activists have mobilized to protest injustices and claim their rights, yet such efforts often fall short of goals because demands normally are directed to government or firms that offer superficial responses. Communitarianism, which broadly strives for autonomy from established institutions, promises the development of self-provisioning communities based on cooperative networks and participatory, democratic governance that prioritizes use over exchange value and redistribution over profitable activity for individuals. The emergence of Web3 and blockchain technology has ushered in new affordances such as scaling a communitarian enterprise and exchange of value independent of banks or other institutions. Whereas market-based organizations use Web 3 affordances for accounting purposes for profit, communitarian organizations aim to link accounting with designs to inject capital into a commons to support self-governing communities in community-based peer production (CBPP). To exemplify the broad range of approaches to the multifaceted goals of CBPP, I focus on FairCoop and Sensorica. Despite considerable differences, these organizations nonetheless share problems and generally are illustrative of longstanding challenges to communitarian enterprises – digitalized and non-digitalized alike. Perennial problems such as the fraught capitalist/postcapitalist relation, self-interest, uneven power relations, lack of diversity, and the challenge of responding adequately to societal needs combine with effects of automated governance and associated effects of technocracy that can dissolve founding values to threaten the integrity of a communitarian collective. CBPP as well as its non-digitalized counterparts are important contributions to humanity, but goals and actual practices can diverge. CBPP requires vigilant designs that complement rather than replace human decision making with algorithmic governance and pay attention to reflexivity and positionality, continualre-design to engage unanticipated problems, and distance actually existing projects from discourses that reify patterns such as decentralization with the consequence of missing crucial contextual knowledges.

Blockchain sharding is a significant technical branch of improving the scalability of blockchain systems. It is regarded as one of the potential solutions that can achieve on-chain scaling and significantly improve the scalability of blockchains without alleviating the decentralization feature of blockchain. To provide a reference and inspire participation from both the academic and industrial sectors in the research on blockchain sharding, we have walked through the state-of-the-art studies published in the past three years on blockchain sharding. We also conducted experiments to show the performance of representative sharding protocols such as Monoxide, LBF, Metis, and BrokerChain. We finally envision the potential challenges and promising future of sharding techniques in terms of the urgent demands of high throughput required by emerging applications such as Web3, Metaverse, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). We hope that this article is helpful to researchers, engineers, and educators, and will inspire subsequent studies in the field of blockchain sharding.

Web3 provides users and service providers several benefits not found in Web2. However, despite the benefits provided, Web3 faces several obstacles that prevent the paradigm from gaining widespread adoption. Developers should understand the benefits and limitations of the technology in order to create more accessible Web3 smart applications.
Abstract Technologies of self-sovereign identity (SSI) and Web3 tools that strongly protect individual autonomy, combined with the ethics of Asian altruism, can effectively guide the governance of the emerging cyber civilization. In contrast, governance in Western industrial civilization stresses the pursuit of individual self-interest and struggles to balance the benefits of big tech with the protection of individual dignity and the preservation of the common good. We demonstrate, with reference to a local community in Japan, that SSI is successful in encouraging communal collaboration and well-being while providing individuals with greater control over their personal data. We also show that Web3 tools provide incentives for altruistic behaviors while safeguarding SSI. Integration of SSI and social protection demonstrates the potential for building an information society grounded in altruistic values, honoring individual dignity, and recognizing the government’s role in protecting social welfare. Ultimately, this research unveils how altruistic values can be fostered through SSI and Web3.

Trustless marketplaces are emerging as a revolutionary paradigm in digital commerce, eliminating the need for intermediaries by leveraging blockchain’s decentralized consensus and artificial intelligence’s autonomous decision-making capabilities. Traditional marketplaces—whether online retail platforms, service exchanges, or financial intermediaries—rely heavily on central authorities for transaction validation, dispute resolution, and trust enforcement. However, this reliance introduces challenges including high transaction fees, fraud risk, censorship, lack of transparency, and systemic single points of failure. Integrating blockchain and AI offers a robust solution: blockchain ensures immutable, auditable, and tamper-proof transaction records, while AI enhances scalability, efficiency, personalization, fraud detection, and predictive analytics. Together, they enable trustless marketplaces where buyers and sellers interact securely, transparently, and autonomously without centralized control. This manuscript explores the foundations, evolution, and technological frameworks underpinning trustless marketplaces. The literature review situates blockchain-enabled trust models, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and AI-driven autonomous negotiation systems within the broader field of digital commerce. The methodology includes both conceptual modeling and a statistical analysis of 200 blockchain marketplace case studies, identifying transaction efficiency, cost reduction, fraud minimization, and compliance alignment as primary performance indicators. Results reveal that trustless AI-blockchain marketplaces reduce average transaction fees by 65%, fraud attempts by 52%, and settlement times by over 80% when compared to traditional centralized platforms. The paper concludes by positioning trustless marketplaces as a cornerstone for Web3 economies, cross-border trade, gig work ecosystems, digital asset exchange, and DeFi-driven commerce. While significant benefits exist, adoption challenges include regulatory uncertainty, interoperability gaps, computational overhead, and ethical AI governance concerns. The study proposes future research into hybrid consensus models, explainable AI integration, and compliance-aware trustless protocols to ensure scalable, human-centric adoption.
The convergence of Web3, Metaverse, and Digital Twins technologies is bringing a transformative revolution to Cyber-Physical-Social systems. Web3, which is driven by blockchain and decentralization, allows users to have control over their data and digital assets. Meanwhile, the Metaverse is creating a virtual space where people can interact, work, and live together. Digital twins offer a real-time digital representation of physical objects or spaces. When these three concepts intersect, they create a dynamic and interconnected digital ecosystem where the physical and virtual worlds blend seamlessly. This paper focuses on discussing the convergence of Metaverse, Web3 technologies, and Digital Twin. We will focus on the architecture of a Web3-enabled Metaverse, which leverages the decentralized nature of Web3 to offer a distributed Metaverse. The digital twin technology will realize a Cyber-Physical-Social data binding that enables the seamless mapping of physical and social activities into cyberspace. Finally, we will discuss the challenges of a Web3-enabled Metaverse, such as security, privacy, interoperability, and ethical concerns.
The contemporary urban landscape delineates a departure from traditional descriptors and historic anchors, propelled by a confluence of pervasive distributed digital systems. The entanglement of the spatial internet, Web3, APIs, digital twins, real-time data, and analogous platform technologies is pivotal, enmeshing, and orchestrating interactions within urban domains. The influence of network technologies ripples across multifaceted dimensions, shaping navigation, mobility, and service provisioning. Recursive feedback mechanisms and algorithms such as ratings, reviews, suggestions, and recommendations collectively catalyse the attention economy and choice architectures through categorising individual preferences. It is an emergent landscape where the technological infrastructures permeate, not just as tools, but as mediums intertwining with the fabric of societal existence, cultural expression, and urban architecture. The 'Post-Cadastral' condition establishes and explores a domain of urban and architectural invention - a city's imminent escape from cadastral space, embracing virtual realms and digital ubiquity. It is concerned with the hyper-reality of virtual space as mooring of invisible cultural, economic, and societal forces. The domain of research operates at limits of material and spatial practice, integrating the physical, the virtual and holographic; and engaging with real-time, urban data analytics, simulation, gamification, techno-cultural discourse and narrative, AI, and generative techniques. The research explores the convergence of augmented urban infrastructures and services, delineating the interwoven threads of value generation (value capture), behavioural shifts, and performance metrics. It unpacks the emergent paradigm where cities, unleashed from historical cartographic constraints, traverse fluid territories shaped by the synergistic forces of digital evaluations and algorithmic orchestration. In this epochal shift, urban spaces transmute into arenas where cadastral limitations yield to an amorphous terrain of digital augmentation and evolving spatial imaginaries. This paper scrutinizes the intricate interplay of web-centric reviews, ratings, comments, and AI-driven algorithms that organise a departure from conventional urban spatiality - a city abstracted by search terms and contained in the comments sections and sorted by popularity. Delving into this labyrinth, it dissects the convergence of diverse valuation systems, nuanced behavioural patterns, and algorithmically mediated decision-making processes, illuminating the evolving dynamics within contemporary urban environments. Through projects, bespoke workflows, and methodologies, its objective resides in rendering discernible precise pathways wherein technological transitions become etched within the urban continuum, consequently integrated within the realms of architectural practice.
The IoT-Metaverse Nexus constitutes one of the very few fields capable of inducing a paradigmatic shift in the manner physical and virtual environments co-opt each other into creating immersive, intelligent, and interconnected digital-physical systems. IoT, emphasizing networks of embedded sensors and devices, acts as a conduit for real-time data, whereas the Metaverse provides spatially enhanced, persistent virtual worlds for enabling embodied digital experiences. This integration of the two domains might lead to never-before-imagined applications in smart cities, digital healthcare, industrial automation, and immersive education. Nonetheless, serious challenges confront the integration, including latency handling, semantic interoperability, data synchronization, infrastructural scalability, and security concerns. The article examines the fundamental technologies and architectures that form the basis of integrating the Metaverse and IoT, proposing a layered integration framework involving perception, network, middleware, application, and immersive layers. With digital twins, real-time synchronization becomes feasible and is maintained between physical assets and their virtual counterparts. The paper also presents a few emerging case studies in industrial and urban settings, outlining instances where immersive environments, enriched by real-world data, augment human decision-making and interaction. It further scrutinizes prospective avenues with the support of 6G networks, AI swift orchestration, and decentralized Web3 infrastructures for proposing scalable and secure IoT-Metaverse ecosystems. By laying out technical, ethical, and infrastructural concerns, this study seeks to frame a clearer picture of how these two fast-evolving paradigms can converge to reformulate digital interaction across many disciplines. The findings demonstrate a strong need to create an interdisciplinary research endeavor and standardization framework that will enable unleashed power of the dualized technological future
En el contexto actual de la industria musical, en el cual el modelo de ingresos a través del streaming digital no favorece a artistas y agrupaciones emergentes, surge la Web3 como una oportunidad para plantear nuevas dinámicas de distribución, circulación y monetización de los contenidos, basadas en la tecnología blockchain. Entendiendo este contexto, el presente proyecto buscó plantear una serie de recomendaciones de uso de NFT en la industria musical, utilizando como entorno de exploración el caso del sello discográfico Bánfora Records, a través de la construcción de prototipos de NFT (Non fungible token) hasta alcanzar el nivel TRL 3/4 testeado con público a nivel de índices de adopción. Para alcanzar este resultado, se aplicaron durante el proceso diversas metodologías tanto cualitativas como de creación que permitieron abordar la problemática estudiada en tres fases: Onboarding, fase en la que la autora se adentra en el tema a través de la metodología de netnografía en donde exploró tres comunidades digitales relacionadas con los NFT, con el objetivo de entender sus lógicas de construcción de valor y formas de relacionamiento. La segunda fase Prototyping permitió avanzar en el reconocimiento de los requerimientos técnicos y formales de la producción de NFT para el caso de estudio Banfora Records, durante esta etapa se logró alcanzar el nivel TRL 3/4 testeado con público de dos colecciones de NFTs y música onchain apoyadas para su desarrollo por un estímulo público. Finalmente se abordó la tercera etapa del proyecto Advising sintetizando las conclusiones del proceso en una serie de recomendaciones sobre el desarrollo de productos NFT para la industria musical, así como consejos para su implementación y consumo. Después de este proceso se concluye que el NFT es una tecnología que se encuentra aún en un proceso de iteración continua, por lo que para desarrollar productos Web3 será necesario mantenerse actualizado día a día sobre los aspectos tecnológicos, legales, de experiencia de usuario, entre otros, que lo puedan afectar para aprovechar las oportunidades que ofrece, pero también ser consciente de los riesgos que se puedan presentar en su producción y puesta a disposición al público. También, se debe tener en cuenta que por el momento hay mucho desconocimiento por parte de la audiencia colombiana respecto a esta tecnología, de manera que, si se quiere llegar a un público más amplio, un lanzamiento en este campo debe ir acompañado de una labor pedagógica e informativa de largo alcance para lograr la adopción tecnológica de estos productos.
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) has emerged in 2015 as a promising peerto-peer (P2P) distributed file-sharing system poised to become the backbone of Web3.However, its BitSwap protocol, responsible for block exchange, encounters redundancy issues when multiple peers respond with duplicate blocks.To address this limitation, we propose CodedBitSwap, an innovative network coding-based data exchange protocol that integrates Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) into BitSwap.Considering that RLNC operations incur additional computational overhead, the RLNC-based protocol is designed with careful attention to its computational complexity that is investigated through trial experiments guiding the selection of coding parameters and structures.To assess the feasibility and performance of CodedBitSwap, an experimental evaluation that compares it with BitSwap was conducted in different scenarios xv using a controlled testbed environment consisting of 11 nodes exchanging three files of different sizes.During file exchange, the amount of data transmitted, download time, and encoding and decoding times were measured for each node.The evaluation results demonstrate that CodedBitSwap effectively eliminates redundancy at a relatively low cost of increased download time.The introduced RLNC computational complexity was optimized by the generation-based design strategy that minimizes it, ensuring that the cost of the reduced redundancy remains relatively low.The undertaken design methodology of CodedBitSwap offers a practical approach for future systems, which balances the overhead of RLNC coding with the benefits it brings.This work contributes to the advancement of network coding in P2P networks and demonstrates its potential to improve the efficiency of IPFS, opening up avenues for future research.
We explore how cybersecurity should be incorporated into corporate governance and develop a specific framework for implementing it. We consider different types of cybersecurity incidents, such as ransomware and data leaks, and their impacts on companies. We then discuss how cybersecurity situates in the current corporate governance theoretical framework. Based on the Resource Dependency Theory (RDT), we develop a specific governance framework with a focus on the role of chief cybersecurity officer, the audit committee, the regulatory powers, and market enforcement mechanisms. As more companies are becoming digital native and more services provided are digital in the Web3 space, this chapter is policy relevant as it provides a theoretical basis for implementing cybersecurity within companies in the digital space and a specific framework for the implementation.
