After Beginning to Write, My Restless Soul Longed to Feel the Winds of Web3
From my previous story here>>
A few days ago, I stepped back into my sacred writing realm with an article sharing what kept me away from writing for months:
📝 From Struggle to Survival – My Story
Although the writing gap was just a few months, my disconnection from Web3 had been far longer.
Life had its grip, pulling my focus away.
But as soon as I finished publishing this story, and finished all the formalities related to promote it, my soul craved the fresh, liberating air of Web3.
Winds of Web3 from a Tweet Gathering Hive Support for #DLUX
All of a sudden, Web3 air caressed me when I stumbled upon a tweet from
@coldbeetrootsoup, urging Hiveans to promote Hive ecosystem dapp #DLUX by supporting DLUX ; @dlux-io
to get listed in #TheDappList site
@coldbeetrootsoup ’s tweet took me to this article that explained how to support #DLUX in getting listed in #TheDappList by voting for #DLUX to get listed in the #TheDappList site.
I began to revive my Web3 association by voting for DLUX in #TheDappList portal.
Strong Web3 vibes landing at Dapp hunting Ground - #TheDappList website
This made me feel connected as a part of the Web3 community.
The https://thedapplist.com appears to be a valuable resource for us in the Web3 community, as we get to find the trusted dapps in the Web3 space.
These listed dapps in the https://thedapplist.com are approved and recommended by Web3 community so it’s a trusted resource to check real, working dapps that are trusted to be used by the Web3 community.
Landing at the shores of https://thedapplist.com was a thrilling experience – I was excited to know a place from where I can check dapps from various Blockchains in different categories - DEFI, social dapps, DePIN, AI and what not, as there are many other fields in Web3 realm than I know of.
My realisation of having a Web3 belonging as a Hivean!!
As @mintymile, I’ve been part of #Hive since its genesis. That long association isn’t just history — it’s my digital identity.
Voting for DLUX, reading posts, writing again… it brought that identity back to life.
My Seamless interoperability with the Web3 World – as I compose there effortlessly…!
As these Web3 waves touched my feet, I just ventured into the #Web3 landscape with this tune of the Pirates in the Caribbean theme song playing in my head - 
My hesitation of stepping into the overwhelming terrain of Web3 suddenly disappeared.
I felt like I belonged to the Web3 World and I am always Welcome to enter it when I do.
My feeling was similar to what the children of Narnia must have felt – whenever they entered the delightful world of Narnia from their world; Earth. They have a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose in Narnia, as a true Narnian accepted and tuned to that world.
DLUX was my doorway this time to the Web3 universe!
I had my welcome entry into the Web3 Sphere once again trying to understand - #DLUX protocol.
I was the 61st voter supporting the proposal in #TheDppList to have #DLUX protocol listed here. Since then that proposal has got a lot more upvotes – 124 at the time of writing.
Let’s know #DLUX – A Hive ecosystem Protocol!
DLUX got me understand the DePIN category in Web3 better, it’s a term I have been hearing often but have not explored or read about much.
#DLUX is a Layer 2 on Hive, for creators, developers, DAO communities, NFT enthusiasts. It is meant to support heavy content – mostly Virtual Reality, Metaverse although all content – images, videos, text can be posted here.

Yes, the usual benefit for Web3 creators exists here – as creators get rewarded with DLUX tokens.
This adheres to a core Web3 principle – of users owning their content in Web3 and getting token rewards for engagement.
Easier to express in 3D fashion at DLUX, along with easy to mint NFT feature
In DLUX, #NFTs can be minted relatively cheaply and showcased for sale in NFT Market place. 3D photo galleries can be created – so the beauty of photos essentially of Nature and places can be shown more fully!
DLUX advantage is DePIN storage using SPY’s Decentralised Web3 storage mechanism!!
Yet, what was new to me was all those photo and solid content of creators being stored pinned to IPFS,ie, Inter Planetary File System in an encrypted fashion. Wow!
The storage aspect of the files is taken care by Hive’s SPK Network.
@spknetwork 's Proof of storage algorithm ensures that the files stored in its storage nodes with files pinned to IPFS exist permanently.
BROCA Power sends files to SPY’s storage nodes—voila, it’s pinned to IPFS!
The SPY Network's storage nodes are incentivized by BROCA tokens, allowing creators to pay for storage using BROCA Resource Credits. Creators simply power up their BROCA, similar to how they would with Hive, to acquire these Resource Credits.
This interaction with the BROCA smart contract enables seamless execution of transactions to store their files on the IPFS node network supported by SPY.

I really liked aspect of DLUX – that provides decentralised infrastructure for file storage.
Web3 Storage that’s Truely Decentralised because its Powered by Community!
There is a buzzing community that provides decentralised storage – with them providing their compute space for storage of files, hosting of stored files etc.
This truly brings to life the decentralised infrastructure advantage of Web3. Yes, storage and hosting are supported by peer-to-peer nodes, all incentivized with BROCA tokens in the case of DLUX!
DLUX’s Honeycomb Powered Node Framework to Securely Process Transactions!
DLUX Protocol too has it’s own node system powered by Honeycomb software. DLUX’s validator nodes generate consensus reports.
Honeycomb runs these DLUX #nodes – as the software is used to discover peers, communicate, sync in blockchain data, ensuring consistency for nodes to operate efficiently - validating data and creating blocks, that would be stored securely on Hive Blockchain.
DLUX Allows for Easy Creation of High-Throughput, Content-Rich dApps
Developers can utilize DLUX to create dApps that require high throughput, perfect for gaming, VR, DeFi, and more. These dApps support complex functionalities and come with smart contract logic and NFT minting features by default, making it easier to build engaging applications.
dApps Alive with Community – Powered by Community Consensus
#Dapps can have their vibrant communities – with their own tokenomics powering Governance providing DAO functionalities to Dapp communities.
This brings to operation the Web3 values of community ownership and involvement influencing decision-making in important aspects of Protocol’s functioning and other operations which also includes financial resource allocation, which can be done if the community votes in favor of it.
@mintymile kept alive as passion ignites Minty’s soul!
There’s much for me to learn about Dlux and #SpyNetwork, and I might do a deeper dive in a subsequent article.
Yet, it feels nice to feel ALIVE! Doing things I am genuinely passionate about – writing and Web3!
This feels like true love, that spark of excitement that seems to evergreenly flow within me forever : powering my creativity, my writing, my stories and enriching my experiences!
I had my doubts and difficulties beginning even to write earlier and yet I posted my story on Hive.
It delighted me to find that most of my usual bunch of readers visited that post and showed their support through their upvotes.
I felt that my presence was pinned on Hive, like files are permanently on SPY’s IPFS Proof of Storage system.
A presence that’s valued and has it’s own worth. It’s a legacy I built through writing my stories, articulating my thoughts, sharing my knowledge and experience on various topics!
Well, it felt nice to sail on a portion of the Web3 waters again writing about Dlux and I land back to the shore to rest and write my Web3 voyage diaries!
I would plan my next Web3 voyage when I do.
Thank you, readers for sailing with me by reading my articles – let the journey echo within you. For now enjoy this Pirates in the Caribbean theme song, that played in my head as I stepped to navigate the waters of Web3 ocean through Hive's Dlux Protocol -
