☁️Web3 vs Web2

Chroom marks a notable advancement in real-time communication, harnessing the special advantages of blockchain technology and WebRTC to provide features that traditional Web2 applications like Zoom and Google Meet cannot match.

Here are several reasons why dMeet is unique and how it sets itself apart from these established Web2 platforms:

1. Decentralization and Privacy

• Chroom: Built on the framework, Chroomutilizes decentralized servers for video meetings, greatly enhancing user privacy and security. By distributing the load across multiple network nodes, it becomes significantly more challenging for unauthorized parties to intercept communications.

• Zoom/Google Meet: These platforms rely on centralized servers controlled by single entities, which manage and safeguard user access to data. This centralization raises several privacy concerns, including data mining risks and the potential for unwarranted censorship or access to user information

2. Blockchain-based Features

• Chroom: Incorporates innovative blockchain features like Web3 authentication, token-gated access, and airdrop tokens directly to participants' wallets. This integration not only enriches the user experience but also enhances community interaction and engagement through seamless features.

• Zoom/Google Meet: Both platforms do not integrate web3 technologies, confining users to traditional communication methods and limiting community interaction to external tools and applications.

3. User Autonomy and Control

• Chroom: Empowers users with complete control over their data, enabled by blockchain technology. Users can manage their encryption keys and dictate access to their accounts, providing a level of autonomy that is generally absent in centralized platforms.

• Zoom/Google Meet: While these platforms offer privacy settings and limited data management options, the ultimate control over user data remains with the platform itself, often creating dependency and vulnerability to policy changes.

4. Cost Efficiency and Tokenization

• Chroom: Provides a completely free service due to the dRTC Network from dTelecom. Users can accumulate points through engagement, which can later be redeemed for the utility token, adding an incentive for participation.

• Zoom/Google Meet: While free options exist, they typically come with limitations on participant numbers and session lengths. Even the "free" versions often monetize user engagement through advertising and data analysis, leading to indirect costs related to privacy and limited functionality.
