## Key points

- Web3 has boosted decentralized infrastructure and brought about a new outlook on the value of decentralization.
- Advances in distributed ledger technology allow for greater freedom in reading, writing, and owning web content, services, and applications without revealing real identities.
- The paper proposes a perspective of Web3 architecture called deController to address network architecture and achieve complete decentralization while considering law compliance.
- DeController consists of underlay and overlay networks as Web3 infrastructures that underpin services and applications.
- The security and privacy of Web3 are analyzed based on a novel design of three-tier identities cooperating with deController.
- The impacts of laws on privacy and cyber sovereignty are discussed to achieve Web3.
- Currently, Web3 has reached a moment towards inclusive top-down solutions that solidify its lifeline in industrial, commercial, and public networks without involving any centralized things.

## Summary

The emergence of Web3 has brought about a new outlook on the value of decentralization, which has boosted decentralized infrastructure. With advances in distributed ledger technology, people can now benefit from Web3 by reading, writing and owning web content, services and applications more freely without revealing their real identities. To address the issue of network architecture and how to achieve complete decentralization while considering law compliance, this paper proposes a perspective of Web3 architecture called deController. This architecture consists of underlay and overlay networks as Web3 infrastructures that underpin services and applications. The functions of underlay and overlay networks are illustrated along with their interactions. Additionally, the security and privacy of Web3 are analyzed based on a novel design of three-tier identities cooperating with deController. Furthermore, this paper discusses the impacts of laws on privacy and cyber sovereignty to achieve Web3. Currently, Web3 has reached a moment towards inclusive top-down solutions that solidify its lifeline in industrial, commercial and public networks without involving any centralized things. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights into achieving complete decentralization while complying with laws through the proposed deController architecture for Web3 native cyberspace infrastructure.
