For the past several years the crypto community has awaited the advent of Web3<\/a>, where data belong to users, everything runs on the blockchain, and a crypto wallet is needed to access information.<\/p>\n

The standard vision of the next-generation internet rests on decentralisation. Data are not stored on centralised servers and are not exploited for personalised advertising.<\/p>\n

But what if Web3 turns out somewhat different? Consider a future in which decentralisation is achieved through locally running, user-built applications created with AI agents.<\/p>\n

What many expect of Web3<\/h2>\n

With the emergence of cryptocurrencies and the development of blockchain technology, many began to see them as the foundation for the internet\u2019s next iteration. For example, the author of the Web 2.0 concept, Tim O\u2019Reilly, argues<\/a> that Web3 will be a meaningful stage of progress if it can connect the crypto-economy to the real world\u2014including legal systems, property, payments, identity, applied services and production.<\/p>\n

The crypto community sees the chief distinction from Web 2.0 in deeper decentralisation at every layer, including data storage and application execution. Ideally, product development is handled not by an owner but by a distributed community governing the project via DAO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Decentralisation is viewed as a foundational principle that allowed cryptocurrencies and smart contracts to find their place in the economy: they reduce reliance on intermediaries and centralised structures.<\/p>\n

Be your own programmer<\/h2>\n

The rise of large language models (LLMs), AI agents and vibe-coding invites a different take on Web3. ForkLog is not calling for ditching decentralisation and blockchains\u2014only for widening the vision of the internet to come.<\/p>\n

What if every user were their own programmer? Such a user can write applications not for general consumption but for personal tasks, run them locally on their own computer or a remote server, and depend on no central provider.<\/p>\n

Take decentralised exchanges such as PancakeSwap<\/a> or Uniswap<\/a>. They are collections of smart contracts operating on Ethereum, BNB Chain and several other blockchains. The networks are decentralised, and access to services is via non-custodial wallets.<\/p>\n

That may look like Web3 already. Yet a single point of failure remains: the frontend. The official websites through which users access these exchanges are centralised; they can restrict certain tokens or block<\/a> users by IP and address.<\/p>\n

Direct access to smart contracts without the official site is possible, but hard. One can use third-party frontends\u2014again introducing centralised choke points\u2014or open a contract in a blockchain explorer like Etherscan and call functions via Write Contract. This is awkward, complex and requires technical skills. Not everyone will manage it.<\/p>\n

AI offers a third route: write an application via vibe-coding and run it locally on your PC. We tried building such a product using Zed, OmniRoute and LLMs from Anthropic and OpenAI.<\/p>\n

The frontend was created through Lovable. When run locally the app still looks rough and needs interface polish, but it performs all functions.<\/p>\n

The application was built in a few hours of vibe-coding without any programming knowledge. In future AI will be smarter and able to generate complete tools without dozens of prompts and constant corrections. It may be enough to request: “Create and deploy an application for providing liquidity on Uniswap.”<\/p>\n

The idea of running local applications can be extended as far as imagination allows:<\/p>\n
