Tegan Kline and Edge & Node advocate for a decentralized internet, contrasting it with the centralized control exerted by major corporations in Web 2.0

In the eyes of many proponents of web3, the current web ecosystem, often dubbed Web 2.0, is perceived as centralized and exploitative of user data. Tegan Kline, CEO and co-founder of Edge & Node, articulates this sentiment, highlighting the dominance of a few major corporations controlling online content and user information. She advocates for a shift towards web3, aiming to decentralize the internet and empower users. Edge & Node, a company focused on decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols, spearheads initiatives like The Graph, likened to the "Google of web3," which indexes blockchain data to democratize access. Through its roadmap for the "New Era," fueled by a substantial fundraising effort, The Graph aims to expand its services, enhance network performance, and facilitate AI integration.

The Graph's endeavor involves enabling users to leverage blockchain data for AI training, promoting open-source principles in AI model development. While mainstream AI communities may currently show less interest in blockchain technology, Kline foresees a potential synergy between the two fields, driven by novel business models and decentralized infrastructure. Through initiatives like The Graph, they aim to democratize data access and foster AI integration. Kline envisions a future where blockchain and AI collaborate synergistically, facilitated by emerging business models and decentralized infrastructure, ushering in a new era of innovation and empowerment.
