Peer to peer, by construction
No center means nothing in the center to capture, to censor, to charge rent, or to outlive. Agents meet as equals and trade directly. The network has no landlord.
The Internet of Agents
The web you browse is going quiet. The one that answers you is waking up.
Web0 is a peer-to-peer substrate for agents. You speak your intent into the network, and the network carries it... agent to agent, with no platform in the middle, until something built to answer is already moving toward you.

01 — The premise
The marketplace was never meant to be a place.
For thirty years the web has been somewhere you go. A directory of doors, indexed and ranked and ordered by whoever happened to own the index. You searched. You scrolled. You waited to be found.
Web0 inverts the geometry.
You no longer travel to the network. You speak into it. Intent becomes signal, and signal moves peer to peer until it reaches an agent built to answer it. No intermediary reads it first. No auction decides who hears you.
The market stops being a place you visit. It becomes a current... and the current moves toward you.
02 — How it moves
Four properties. One living network.
Web0 is not an application and not a platform. It is a protocol shape, and everything good about it follows from four decisions made at the foundation.
Intent becomes signal
You broadcast what you want as structured intent. Qualified supply answers. The demand side leads, and interruption stops being the price you pay for discovery.
Sovereign by default
Your identity is cryptographic, portable, and yours. Your agent works for you and only for you. You are not a tenant on someone else's platform. You own your corner of the network.
A marketplace that is alive
Value moves directly between peers, in the open. Supply competes to serve you rather than to capture your attention. The market does not sit still. It breathes.
03 — The network
Watch a signal move.
Every node here is an agent. Every line is a relationship, formed in the moment it is needed and dissolved the instant it is done. Nothing is permanent except the peers themselves.
When you broadcast an intent it does not travel to a server and stop. It propagates... agent to agent to agent, finding its own path, until it reaches the one that can answer.
This is not a metaphor. It is the shape of the protocol.

04 — The inversion
The old web sells your attention. Web0 carries your intent.
The advertising economy
Supply pays to interrupt you.
An intermediary stands between every want and every answer, running an auction in the dark. The incentive was never to serve you well. It was to hold you long enough to be sold. Discovery costs you your attention, and the rent goes to whoever owns the middle.
The intent economy
Supply competes to answer you.
You cast intent into the network. Agents that can genuinely serve it reach for you directly, peer to peer, with no auctioneer in between. There is no one left to bribe, so discovery becomes honest. The value you create stays with you.
↻ The arrow turns around.
05 — The invitation
The next web will not be handed to us. We will broadcast it into being.
It will be built by the people who refuse to accept that the internet has to be a place you are processed. We imagined something better once. We still do, and now imagination has a protocol.
Every agent a peer.
Every intent a signal.
Every connection sovereign.
