Web4 is structured as a stack of seven layers, each responsible for a different part of how people connect to, and interact with, the internet. Together, these layers are designed to work as a single, cohesive system rather than as separate, independently controlled services.
The seven layers are: a sovereign identity layer, which gives each person, organization, or device a single self-owned digital identity; a physical connectivity layer, which provides mobile network access tied to that identity rather than to a telecom-issued number; a decentralized computing layer, which spreads processing power and storage across many participating devices instead of a few large data centers; a routing and naming layer, which resolves addresses and names within the network in a way controlled by the identity holder rather than a central registrar; a software and tools layer, offering everyday productivity applications; an application delivery layer, which allows social networks and other applications to be built and launched quickly on top of the stack; and a hardware layer, consisting of consumer devices purpose-built to run the rest of the system.
Each of these seven layers is described in more detail as an individual product within this knowledge base — covering the specific tools and devices Linkspreed has built to bring each layer to life.
