It is unfortunate that this article does not include any mention of the NON-blockchain p2p protocols that people are working on for a Dweb.

From Hypercore (& Beaker browser), to IPFS, to Tim Berners Lee's own project Solid, to GUN database, to Secure Scuttlebutt, there is a growing ecosystem of projects exploring use cases for the Dweb that do not require blockchains.

If we're to maximize our opportunity to address the problems of the current web, we need to understand the full range of technical possibilities available to us. Blockchains are just one of these.

Yes, I have read about them. I am not very familiar with those technology, that's why I didn't mentioned them.
