Presearch.com, the privacy-focused, community-driven search engine, has officially completed the shift from Web2 to Web3, delivering what many in the industry considered technically impossible: a fully decentralized, self-custodial search platform. Presearch 3.0 empowers users to search, earn, and control digital assets while participating in a global Web3 ecosystem.

In a world dominated by AI-generated content, invasive tracking, and declining engagement, Presearch 3.0 promises privacy, sovereignty, and economic empowerment, returning control to users and creators while eliminating reliance on centralized intermediaries.

How Presearch 3.0 Works

Unlike other platforms that bolt token mechanics onto traditional infrastructure, Presearch was built natively for Web3. Its core architecture supports:

• Hybrid Proof-of-Work nodes: 40,000+ community-operated nodes process queries, remove personal data, and execute searches in milliseconds.

• Self-custodial rewards: Users earn PRE tokens based on search volume, node reliability, and staked assets, with staking enhancing per-search earnings.

• Gas-efficient Base Layer 2 microtransactions for fast, sub-penny payments.

• Enterprise-grade security, including audits and penetration testing.

Advertisers can run keyword staking campaigns, similar to Google Ads auctions, where the highest staked PRE token placement determines visibility at the bottom of search results.

A New Index for High-Integrity Content

Presearch 3.0 isn’t just decentralized—it also pioneers a Web3-native independent web index, optimized for what the company calls “Frontier Intelligence.” The focus is on:

• Creator-first and login-gated platforms like Substack and OnlyFans

• Independent journalism and alternative health content

• Shadow-banned or suppressed sources

• Verified human-generated content filtered from AI spam

This next-generation indexing gives Presearch a competitive edge in an era flooded with low-quality AI-generated content, making it a foundation for AI agents, DeFi, and dApp integration.

Redefining User Control

With Presearch 3.0, users log in with crypto wallets instead of traditional credentials, maintaining full ownership of digital assets. Platforms cannot revoke access, and all interactions are on-chain, creating trustless, incentivized participation across a globally accessible network.

Presearch’s infrastructure also supports:

• Seamless wallet integration without compromising UX

• Self-custodial staking and reward management

• Cross-platform AI agent compatibility for search and discovery

Why It Matters

This launch positions Presearch as a fully Web3-native alternative to centralized search engines, solving longstanding Web3 adoption friction points like custodial delays, regional restrictions, and identity barriers. For users, developers, and enterprises, Presearch 3.0 offers:

• True privacy and data sovereignty

• Earned rewards for search participation

• Access to high-integrity, creator-first content

• Integration with the wider Web3 ecosystem

In short, Presearch 3.0 transforms search from a utility into a gateway to decentralized digital experiences, redefining the relationship between users, content, and the Web3 economy.
