Welcome to the Web4x Wiki, your guide to understanding and navigating the future of the web.
For the best experience, open links in new tabs.
Web4x is the next paradigm shift in software development, redefining how we interact with the Web, the largest software environment humanity has created. It builds upon 30+ years of web evolution to introduce an object-oriented, service-oriented, and sustainability-driven architecture.
Let’s start with what the European Union envisions:
These links provide context on the European Union's vision for Web 4.0 as a technological framework for integrating digital and real environments, guided by EU values of openness, trust, and inclusivity. While the EU focuses on policy and strategy to shape the next web transition, Web4x takes a technical leap forward by developing the first object-oriented, decentralized operating system for the web.
Web4x aligns software development with the intrinsic structure of the universe, following the principles of The Last Architecture, resulting in a perfect alignment of Business and IT architecture. It introduces:
- Digital Twins: Representations of real-world objects in a service-based digital economy simulation.
- Natively Object-Oriented and Service-Oriented Web: Enables seamless integration across platforms, devices, and technologies.
Web4x builds on visionary ideas about the future of the web, such as Kevin Kelly’s TED Talk: The Next 5,000 Days of the Web.
Kelly foresaw a world where the web evolves into a global machine, seamlessly integrating physical and digital spaces—a Database of Things. Web4x takes this a step further: rather than merely linking and storing things, it empowers Digital Twins to serve us actively, interact across contexts, and place control back into the hands of users.
By transforming the web into a peer-to-peer service-oriented ecosystem, Web4x realizes and surpasses Kelly's vision, enabling a world where digital objects are as functional and intuitive as physical ones.
- Web4x turns the web into an operating system running on a local mini-kernel in the browser, enabling peer-to-peer interactions without third-party involvement.
- Components: Web4x’s modular building blocks are designed for adaptability, reusability and interconnectivity.
- Developers can assemble components like Lego blocks to create applications with seamless integration across:
- Platforms, devices, and vendors.
- Different operating systems like macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.
- Digital Twins as Economic Units: Components and objects in Web4x can autonomously execute contracts, store value, and monetize within the ecosystem.
- OASIS Store: A decentralized marketplace where developers and users can share, co-create, and monetize components and applications.
- Every user is the sole owner of their Smart Objects, which are securely linked to their Noble ID-a biometric digital twin. This ensures that each object has a verified, unique owner, enabling secure sharing, collaboration, and consent withdrawal.
- Bridges worlds: Unites the Web, the Metaverse, and real-world objects seamlessly.
- Drag & Drop Interaction: Interact with digital objects as easily as physical ones.
-
Cross-Compatibility:
- Platforms: Move smart objects between websites and domains.
- Devices: Transition seamlessly across desktops, tablets, phones, and VR/AR glasses.
- Vendors: Operate across Apple, Google, Samsung, Meta, and more.
- Empowering Innovators: Web4x allows anyone worldwide to rapidly prototype and test business ideas using the OASIS Store.
- Authenticity: Eliminates fake accounts and content (e.g. human vs. AI generated).
- Ownership: Every smart object is owned by a verified individual or organization that controls sharing and consent.
- Abundance and Value Creation: By making software components the foundation of economic exchange, Web4x fosters a system where costs of production and distribution approach zero, creating a zero-marginal cost society. In this new economy, quality becomes the only distinguishing value proposition, driving innovation and excellence while ensuring everyone benefits from shared resources.

Metatrom is not just building technology—it is shaping the foundation for a new era of freedom, creativity, and abundance. With Web4x, we aim to create a world where:
-
Freedom is foundational: Individuals own their identity, data, and creations. They can share, collaborate, or reclaim with absolute sovereignty, knowing their digital life is truly theirs.
-
Abundance for All becomes the norm: By transforming software components into the smallest economic units, Web4x creates a thriving ecosystem where every contribution—big or small—fuels growth, innovation, and opportunity. Developers, creators, and users alike generate value in a system that rewards collaboration and ingenuity.
-
Win-Win-Win replaces zero-sum games: Every interaction in Web4x fosters mutual benefit. Businesses scale faster, creators gain visibility, and users get smarter, seamless experiences—all while contributing to a more equitable and sustainable world.
-
Creativity knows no limits: Web4x’s modular design empowers developers to build groundbreaking solutions without starting from scratch. Anyone, anywhere, can turn an idea into reality—prototyping, testing, and deploying with unprecedented ease.
-
A Web for Humanity emerges: Web4x redefines the internet as a space that unites us. It blends the digital and physical worlds into one harmonious system, creating connections that are borderless, seamless, and natural.
As a developer, you are the architect of this future. Web4x offers you:
- A revolutionary platform to build on—where your creations are fully your own, yet they can seamlessly interact with the broader ecosystem.
- Revenue Sharing: Developers not only innovate—they also earn. When your components are used to power applications and generate revenue, you directly participate in the earnings. Your work doesn’t just make a difference—it becomes a source of lasting value for you.
- A community of visionaries who are rethinking what’s possible and pioneering solutions that matter.
- A chance to change the world by creating tools, applications, and systems that empower people globally and inspire the next wave of innovation.
Imagine a world where a young innovator in a small town can use your components to launch a business, connect with collaborators, and succeed in ways that were previously unimaginable. This is the power of Web4x, and this is the world Metatrom is building.
Join us, and together, let’s unleash the web’s full potential.
