I think the idea here is that he wants to merge Web2 (bitcoin/blockchain) with Web3 (virtual reality?) … and so they added 2 + 3 = 5.
I wish him luck. But if what he’s building is Web 5, then the Safe Network is Web 6 or 7 IMO.

I wonder how they’ll incentivise data to be stored without tokens etc? I didn’t really get how data is stored other than on distributed nodes.
Do people store their own data on own nodes, or hope someone keeps their data stored?
Anyway, may be worth looking at to see if there are bits & pieces that could be beneficial to the Safe Network, or vice versa.
