TON can dynamically split and merge its shards to adjust to the load and optimise resource utilization. Each shard is a full-fledged blockchain that can communicate with other shards through hypercube routing.
In this blog, you will learn more about how life is moving from the Digital era to the automated era with 5G, blockchain, the metaverse, and AI.
Web3 and 5G The Next Wave
You will agree that even a productive employee cannot work if the network is sluggish and has low bandwidth. Nowadays, most businesses have to work online. The early adopters of 5G are likely to adopt future devices. The high latency in the work process disturbs the whole process. 5G (Fifth-generation) wireless is cellular technology and will improve the responsiveness of wireless networks as 5G has more availability.
The 4G long-term evolution (LTE) wireless technology is the foundation of 5G. 5G is being transmitted through high-power cell towers. Due to the use of small stations, the technology generates high speeds. Web3 requires high connectivity, and 5G helps without delays.
Web3 and 5G Propelling the Blockchain
The diversification of the blockchain will improve more in the upcoming years with the rollout of 5G due to some of the reasons discussed:
5G will solve one of the biggest challenges of blockchain, which is scalability. The higher the network capacity, the lower the block time generation.
With 5G’s broadband-level speed, blockchain-enabled services will catch up with the speed of Web 2.0 companies. Therefore, organizations and individuals will slowly become accustomed to the technology and employ it further.
The Oracles, which happen to be essential for smart contract deployment, require seamless internet access. With the global rollout of 5G, the Oracles will work rapidly. Thus, the usage of smart contracts will become prevalent.
Undoubtedly, with a better internet, we will witness an improvement in network participation. The active nodes on a network will improve.
The 5G speed will improve the information exchange between the blockchain and IoT devices.
The Need of 5G for Web3
Decentralized protocols like blockchain are used in bitcoin transactions and do not require a middleman. Web3 works on a decentralized network. In Web3, the users can control the web since the community is updated in real-time. Both Web3 and Metaverse leverage blockchain technology and promote decentralization. Web3 has seven components, and Metaverse uses its components along with 5G internet to make the ecosystem interoperable. Web3 combines all the disruptive technologies and AI-enabled analytics to provide data-driven insights.
However, the wide adoption of decentralized architecture will become difficult because there will be high requirements for data integrity and security. The storage requirements will also be higher. There are many advancements in hardware and software technologies. While 5G is there to give high speed, the blockchain’s job will be to ensure decentralization and security. Ultimately, this presents us with sharp device connectivity and low costs.
Businesses that are thinking of integrating blockchain-enabled services to have a better system. The introduction of 5G will improve the connectivity between the linked devices of all the companies embracing the blockchain.
Does Web3 need 5G?
As the Web3 and the metaverse advance, we will need better and better connectivity, while 4G also supports the Web3 and metaverse. 5G, with a speed of 20 Gbps and an average data rate of 100 Mbps, can improve connectivity. 5G can improve network efficiency and traffic capacity. The 5G network creates a linked world and includes machines, robots, and gadgets.
Metaverse works on 5G and uses technologies like AI, blockchain, and AR, VR. Extended reality will connect the digital metaverse, and to take advantage of apps and services, 5G will be vital. The computing will be closer to the end user. There will be better distribution of additional bandwidth required for Web3 and its other components.
In the era of shorter business and product life cycles, a large workforce is more costly to sustain. Currently, companies are focused on the automation of machines and warehouse transportation. Due to 5G’s quick access to many of the NFTs, and decentralized social media networks, metaverse incorporation will be effortless.
Metaverse From 5G
Web 3.0 has become possible because of 4G and will become more prevalent with 5G. The rollout of 5G in recent years has paved the way for gadgets, and machines can operate with minimal human intervention.
The metaverse has avatars, real-time communication, and an immersive world with real-world elements. Furthermore, there is a layer of XR. All of this requires high-speed internet, very similar to that of 5G.
The impact may not be direct, but 5G enhances the quality of the network. The metaverse and the NFTs both become more accessible with 5G. The three different types of communication that make this possible are:
Massive machine-type communication (mMTC)
Machine-type communication happens to be the unique selling point of the technology. It is used to connect many devices and transform IoT devices for eMBB. Machine-type communication is essential when it comes to forming smart cities.
Ultra-reliable low latency communication (uRLLC)
URLLC is ideal for mission-critical applications. The uRLLC has low latency and better network reliability. The industrial remote control will improve with the uRLLC.
Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)
The eMBB is an extension of cellular data and provides a speed of 10 Gbps. The high bandwidth usage supports HD video streaming, VR/AR gaming, the metaverse, and improved consumer experience.
Benefits for Enterprise Ready to Embrace 5G
Some of the benefits for enterprises opting for 5G to automate industrial operations are as follows:
