IMPORTANT FACT: parallelization is REQUIRED for seamless infinite smart contract scaling. Today, only 1 (one) blockchain runs smart contracts in parallel. Source: Dmail Lite paper Why build on the Internet Computer? Hence, Dmail has done a lot of research to solve this problem, hoping to bridge the Web3.0 era and traditional Internet in a new way so as to help more traditional Internet users to access blockchain with lower barrier of entry.'Īt the moment, there is no bridge between traditional and decentralized emails making sending/receiving emails between, say, a dApp and Gmail very challenging. 'With the development of the era of Web3.0, traditional emails did not catch up Source: The Atlantic Lack of decentralized email standards on Web3 But if you carry cookies from other Google services, your activity can be correlated or “fingerprinted” from associated products such as Google Maps and YouTube.Ĭompanies want you to buy their stuff, and email is a good way to get it in front of you. Much of the information collected by Gmail and shared with advertisers is metadata – data about data. And, if your email account is terminated, don’t expect to revive it. Since then, I’ve learned it wasn’t a security threat that was the problem. In the seven weeks since my account was shut, I’ve spent about 12 hours on hold with Yahoo customer service and corresponded with the company at least 15 times.Īnd I still don’t have my email account back. One morning in April, my Yahoo email account was disabled for no apparent reason. That means that only two out of every five providers on the list are still operational. Do you know how many of those email services have since closed down? 59 percent. In 2007, Mashable published a list of 75 email services that were not Gmail. So What problem is Dmail trying to solve, and is there really a problem?ĭmail believes there are a few, including: Continuity of service It appears that Dmail has been active for a few months leading up a Tweet in mid-September 2021 announcing that it had ' signed up for the official DFINITY Hackathon in October.'Īnd sure enough, Dmail delivered not only a demo version of Dmail but also won a ' Sponsored Prize' as part of Wanxiang Blockchain's Hackathon. So if it ain't broke, why fix it? Dmail Network: First Decentralized Email on the Internet ComputerĪs the world's first mailbox product based on blockchain, this is the first message- Dmail Network August 23, 2021ĭmail Network, a new decentralized NFT email infrastructure based on DFINITY, is designed for the Web 3.0 era catering to people’s new demands arising from the latest development of the Internet.Īdmittedly, I did not hear about Dmail (not to be confused with the Dmail Chrome browser extension, which no longer exists) until reading an article about it here. This effectively means 1.5 billion Gmail users are happily sending and receiving emails every single day (or close to) and with no care in the world about potential privacy issues as long as Gmail is up and running. Notwithstanding, these companies have managed to gain a significant amount of users over the years, with Gmail having around ' 1.5 billion active users worldwide'. What all the above have in common is that they are all hosted on servers under their control (either in one location for example, Protonmail is hosted out of servers based in Switzerland or around the world (Google / Microsoft / Apple). The resulting network should be as simple to use as telephones, with the first 'email' being sent in 1969, albeit an incomplete word comprising two letters 'Lo'.įast forward to today, we have a multitude of email service providers, including: ![]() A few decades later, Leonard Kleinrock (pictured) 'was driven by a certainty that computers were destined to speak to each other'.
