Will decentralization (Web3) impact reputation tracking?
Web3 concepts (decentralized identity, blockchain reputation) have been proposed for email but face adoption challenges. Email's existing infrastructure is deeply entrenched; replacing it requires overwhelming advantage.
Potential applications: decentralized reputation that senders own rather than MBPs controlling, blockchain-verified consent records, and token-based sender attestation. These remain experimental.
Likely reality: incremental evolution of existing systems rather than revolutionary replacement. Web3 concepts may inform innovation but won't replace DNS-based authentication and centralized MBP filtering in foreseeable future.
