Web3 search engine attracts big backers in drive to hand power back to users
A new protocol has bold ambitions to become the feed of Web3.
RSS3 is an open-sourced information syndication protocol — a search engine that delivers an aggregated human-readable feed about every crypto wallet in existence.

Through its approach, all of these activities are not included in his feed — giving users a clearer idea of what's happening.
What's more, the search functionality enables users to get a clear insight into what's trending — delivering a one-stop-shop where you can track your favorite crypto addresses.
