The metaverse without communication is counter-intuitive. Users are disconnected when connecting to digital assets and worlds; Push Protocol aims to change that. With the current web3 experience, it is not practical to expect meaningful and valuable interactions without a robust communication method.
Effective decentralized governance requires massive coordination efforts and requires adaptable communication methods. Many on-chain governance systems have low voter turnout, which is a result of many things, one being poor user experience.
Part 2 of the - An Introduction to Push Notification series will focus on use cases for push notifications in web3, and demonstrate how the web3 communication layer is the missing piece for the next iteration of the web. In this post, we will focus on decentralized finance (DeFi).
In Part 1.1, we introduced modern push technology, which consists of these primary components: an app publisher who publishes information by notifications, a client who is the receiver of notifications based on a subscription, and the push notification provider who acts as middleware between these two actors.
It is hard to imagine modern mobile devices without push notifications. The first push service was launched by Apple in June 2009, the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs). After that, Google followed with a service of their own, Google Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM). Both companies have led efforts to enhance the push notification technology to where it is today.
