what is Mask Network ?

Mask Network is a gateway that allows users to access the world of decentralized web or Web 3.0 through the Mask Network extension. Mask Network, rather than developing a new platform, bridges Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, allowing people to access Web 3.0 within existing mainstream platforms. Web 2.0, in simple words, is what the general public believes to be the "internet." Web 3.0 is about reclaiming decentralized control of user data and building a censorship-resistant, open internet driven by new technology like the blockchain. 

The problem that Mask Network is aiming to solve is the present internet is dominated by technology firms, which influence how users interact with the online world, including what they publish, what they see, and whom they contact. Since today's Web 2.0 platforms can make content vanish if it does not adhere to companies’ rules, users typically do not have complete ownership of the content they upload.Besides this, the platform believes that many issues have surfaced on social media. Users can rarely make cross-border payments, have no storage space for long-term files, and have no genuinely secure encryption. The social media platforms benefit from users' data and labor, and users have little leverage to stop them.
