Introduction

The Web is in decline due to enshittification, a term popularized by Cory Doctorow. Although Doctorow does not know this, open source decentralized applications (dapps) reaching state consensus via the blockchain is critical to overcome this problem and for the Web to succeed in its mission to save humanity.

The underlying reason why enshittification occurs is because popular web platforms are owned and controlled by centralized organizations that ultimately do not do what is best for their users. Dapps on the other hand are either fully autonomous (never change), or are governed by decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).

However, blockchain dapps have a number of major issues that prevents them from usurping the centralized platforms. Acuity Index is the solution to one of these problems. Another critical problem Acuity is solving is debasement.
