[**Functionland**](https://fx.land/)’s Fula Network is a Web3 alternative to this model. It’s a privacy-focused, user-powered platform that enables free-to-use applications and services by rewarding users for sharing storage and computer resources. At the same time, it compensates open-source developers for providing applications and services. Functionland chose IPFS to implement a decentralized take on the client-server model. [**Learn more**](https://blog.ipfs.io/2022-02-22-functionland/) about how it uses dedicated hardware to achieve this. +There are known security issues in current Web 2.0 messaging services built on centralized networks. [Berty](https://berty.tech/) addresses these issues with a distributed communication protocol that takes advantage of the decentralized infrastructure provided by IPFS to build an untraceable messaging system. It’s completely peer-to-peer, open-source, and it can operate over bluetooth, without an internet connection.
