Bitcoin Capa 3: que é o navegador impermeable? Cando podemos esperalo?
The Impervious browser is upon us. The company will launch its most ambitious product at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, on April 7th. What is it, though? And, while you’re at it, what does Impervious do? Well, the company builds “tools and infrastructure for the P2P internet.” That is, the Internet without centralized intermediaries.

The company works over the Lightning Network, on bitcoin’s third layer. They already “released a paquete de API” which created “a programmatic layer for Bitcoin.” On that third layer, the Impervious browser lives. In a última edición do seu boletín, the company described what we can expect from it. And Bitcoinist is here to summarize it because we know how busy you are.
O navegador impermeable: o teu portal para a Internet P2P
Zoom, sen Zoom.
Google Docs, sen Google.
Medio, sen Medio.
WhatsApp, sen WhatsApp.
Pagos, sen bancos.
Identidade, sen Estado.

Impervious xa prometeu moito nun chío de decembro, a saber:
Zoom, sen Zoom.
Google Docs, sen Google.
Medio, sen Medio.
WhatsApp, sen WhatsApp.
Pagos, sen bancos.
Identidade, sen Estado.
Pero poden entregar? Ao parecer, poden.
Is Bitcoin Layer 3 Even A Thing?
Outra forma de ver o que está a facer a empresa, segundo a Jimmy Song, "farán esencialmente que cada nodo Lightning sexa un servidor e un cliente". Despois engade: "O soño dunha internet descentralizada parece estar construíndo ante os nosos ollos!" Non obstante, imos dar un paso atrás.
What’s this “bitcoin layer 3” all about? The Documentación impermeable di simplemente:
“At layer one, there exists the Bitcoin network – money, deep storage, global root trust.
Na segunda capa, existe a Lightning Network: diñeiro en efectivo, pagos fluídos, confianza entre pares.
Na capa tres, existe a Rede Impermeable: aplicacións, micropagos en streaming e federación de nodos.
Pero que pode facer? Para iso, citamos Coindesk:
"Unha rede de "capa 3" que se pode usar para configurar redes privadas virtuais (VPN) descentralizadas, plataformas de mensaxería ou incluso transmitir vídeos ou DJs ou podcasts. "Podo estar en China, ou podo estar en Irán, e isto permítenos falar libremente sen censura", explica Chase Perkins, fundador e CEO de Impervious.
Noutras palabras, como di o boletín, "as API Impervious permiten que calquera aplicación ou servizo transmita canles de transmisión de datos criptograficamente seguras, resistentes á censura e á vixilancia".

A idea aquí é que todo o sistema está cifrado e non depende de terceiros nin de autoridades centrais. Genial, pero, como funciona? Ben, "ao entrelazar Lightning, identificadores descentralizados (DID), un sistema DIDComm, WebRTC, IPFS e moito máis nunha aplicación familiar, o navegador Impervious é capaz de proporcionar un conxunto completo de capacidades P2P fáciles de usar".
Que ofrece o produto?
When Impervious says “WhatsApp, without WhatsApp,” they mean secure P2P messaging. The company promises “real-time P2P communication between browsers and DIDs” and “Secure P2P file transfer.” When the company says “Zoom, without Zoom,” they mean secure P2P audio and video calls. That is “audio, video, messaging, and real-time data transmission.” They also promise that the “conversation only lives until the end of the call” and “available usage of data channels (ex. file transfers and games)” Impervious also promises “an anonymous, publicly accessible, decentralized data store” using the InterPlanetary File System or IPFS. When the company says “Google Docs, without Google,” they mean real-time P2P collaborative workspaces. Users will be able to “share the document privately amongst authorized peers, without unauthorized users or third parties being aware of the files existence.” What does “Medium, without Medium” mean? Newsletters, subscriptions, and direct content monetization. The Impervious browser lives over the Lightning Network, so, payments are already part of the system. Users will be able to “create pay-to-play links, prompting peers to fulfill a key exchange or Lightning Invoice to view premium content.” The most exciting feature might be “Identity, without the State.” Using decentralized user identity (DID), users will be able to “generate decentralized identities via ION (a globally accessible, public, Decentralized Identifier network that runs on top of the Bitcoin blockchain) – directly from the Impervious Browser.”Lectura relacionada | Bitcoin Detractor David Heinemeier Hansson Says “I Was Wrong, We Need It”
There are few projects that sound as exciting as this one. However, the question remains: can Impervious deliver? We’ll have to wait for Bitcoin 2022 to find out.
