Just revealed One such piece of “map” data that could open up the blockchain world to more people than ever before is the Grid Transforming Web3 structuring and validating system. After seven years of development, The Grid is finally making its debut as a meta standard that data platforms may use to better connect to the blockchain. Hopefully, this will result in a more user-friendly interface that even individuals with limited Web3 experience can utilize to gain a deeper understanding of the field, expand their knowledge, and potentially increase their investment.
Regarding this, co-founder Jonathan Knegtel advised Decrypt to view it as a progression rather than a radical change. The Grid provides metadata about ecosystems. As you enter the Web3 city, you’ll notice its lights and branding all over the place, but other than that, not much more. The Grid will retrieve detailed information about those offerings. Like how, instead of merely displaying a name, Google Maps provides details on the available services.
The Grid Redefining Web3 with Metadata
Like Google Maps, the existing ecosystem uses labels that don’t tell you much, making it impossible to distinguish between, say, a coffee shop and a hospital. A more illuminating system is what the grid is trying to achieve with it. Solana has been The Grid Transforming’s initial partner, meaning that it has indexed its metadata and initiatives. The Grid has not yet revealed the other 60 Web3 partner companies, but it plans to integrate them on a larger scale.
An indictment was unsealed on Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice, accusing two individuals from California of committing a string of NFT rug pulls that deceived customers out of over $22 million. According to the agency, this is the biggest NFT conspiracy that the DOJ has ever charged. Each of Gabriel Hay (Beverly Hills) and Gavin Mayo (Thousand Oaks) faces one count of stalking, two counts of wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Police in Los Angeles took custody of the men on Thursday.
However, platforms other than Solana have recognized the potential and shown interest. This is a pivotal moment in the Web3 ecosystem’s standardization efforts, following an initial angel investment round that surpassed €600,000. In that case, how is The Grid unique? In order to provide front-end ecosystems with data, it retrieves information from these websites. Many LLMs could do this, as Knegtel freely concedes.
Enhancing Web3 Data with the Four Eyes Approach
The application of the Four Eyes approach distinguishes The Grid from its competitors. Therefore, the utterly unappealing process of data cleansing involves using LLMs. On the other hand, we have human eyes to verify and examine the returned items. As a result, he claimed, the data set was of far higher quality. “In an age where there is more and more untrustworthy AI information, The Grid offers a premium service that delivers reliability.”
The Grid can meet systems’ needs wherever they are. As a result, existing wallets, exchanges, and block explorers can use the data to extract detailed descriptions of the products and services. Knegtel stated that The Grid aims to complement existing services rather than compete with them. To be more precise, it can be helpful in both directions.
Enhancing Web3 with Solana Data
Even though there isn’t yet an exchange-traded product (ETP) for Solana in the US, asset managers are apparently satisfying the thirst of European investors for ETPs related to the sixth-largest digital coin. The company said the new Solana Staking ETP, managed by Bitwise, will be listed on the Deutsche Börse AG in Germany today. Bitwise claimed that the fund’s staking technique offers investors a better opportunity to earn larger returns than other SOL products.
We’ve actually had blockchain requests on how to best work toward standardization,” Knegtel added. We are able to offer guidance that can lead to blockchain-level recognition—to work with ecosystems where they may have previously struggled to get noticed. The Grid Transforming has begun collaborating with Solana and is also making available its explorer and an open-source implementation of its reference. Platforms can create their own ecosystem pages utilizing that data set from The Grid thanks to the open core model and GraphQL API. Companies may now manage their data ecosystem in a way that is both up-to-date and within their control.
