You mean the Spk Network. 3Speak will be just a community running on Spk Network.
And yes it will be a key player in, not just the future of Hive, but Web3 as a whole.
But we can do Web3 now if we stick to the principles and kick out the old ideas of internet standards.
The Web3 of tomorrow like Spk is doing a whole new foundation that will solidify the principles and turn those principles into the internet standards of Web3. An OEM of Web3 if you want to call it that.
