1.4 What Web3 Got Right & What PTERI Keeps

Web3 introduced several critical breakthroughs:

• Self-custody

• Cryptographic ownership

• Public verification

These ideas were correct.

However, Web3 systems often layered on additional complexity:

• Token-centric design

• Speculation-first incentives

• Poor user experience

• Identity leakage on public ledgers

PTERI’s approach

PTERI deliberately separates cryptographic utility from financialization.

It keeps only what works:

• Self-custody

• Cryptographic signatures

• Deterministic verification

Everything else is removed by design.

There are:

• No tokens

• No speculative assets

• No identity broadcast

• No dependency on smart-contract ecosystems
