8−Imagine how easy it would be to write and deploy software in a world where every user had their own server, networking protocols were simple and universal, and the primitives weren’t destined to a never ending spiral of breaking changes. So much of the path dependency that has made writing software today a matter of hacking at an ugly morass of load-bearing arcana could be wiped away, and you could focus on clean business logic and seamless UX.

10−Now stop imagining, because we’ve already built it.
9+Urbit offers foundational primitives that make it easy to build decentralized applications. This means developers can focus on creativity and application logic instead of operations to make sure the server or database doesn't go down.

13−After 15 years, the unsolved part of blockchains is still off-chain interaction. Sure, we have centralized platforms that will allow users to wear an NFT as a badge, and some even more centralized attempts at governance tooling, but we have yet to see the promised Cambrian explosion of general-purpose decentralized applications. What happened?
13+We have yet to see the promised Cambrian explosion of general-purpose decentralized applications promised by blockchains. What happened?
14

15−It turns out that without full-stack sovereignty — which is to say, without Urbit — attempts at anything more than simple transaction and representation are compromised from the onset, and the ultimate realization of Web3 is restricted to those with the sysadmin skills to to run confusing systems themselves. So despite predating Bitcoin by about 5 years, Urbit’s vision of sound, easy-to-use, decentralized computing dovetails neatly with that of sound, easy-to-use, decentralized money.
15+While blockchains are good for some problems, there remain others where a more general purpose computing solution is more useful. This is precisely what Urbit is for.

9−Look, this thing is being built in flight. Most of the low-hanging fruit is still there, waiting to be picked by those with the technical chops to do so.
9+Urbit offers creatives the means to truly own the distribution of their work. An application becomes a tool you own rather than a service whose terms can change overnight. And with digital ownership on a decentralized network, the incentives of advertising based centralized services and an attention economy no longer apply.
10

11−Still, even in its relatively nascent state, it is already exceedingly obvious that Urbit will become the premier platform for communities to organize and build on their own terms.
