Reveneu, DePIN and Countering Dominance with Tom Trowbridge

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Tom Trowbridge from Fluence

Tom Trowbridge, champions decentralized technology as essential to preserving freedom in an increasingly centralized internet. He warns against the control of big tech and governments, urging the development of alternatives like Web3 to protect individual autonomy and resist centralized power.

Fluence Labs is building a decentralized computing protocol that enables peer-to-peer applications to run without centralized servers. By empowering developers to deploy apps on a permissionless network, Fluence aims to create a censorship-resistant, resilient infrastructure for the Web3 ecosystem.
