What is Web3?

If you’re new to the blockchain space, you might not have heard the keyword “Web3” yet….

That’s exactly what Web3 is… a buzzword for the state of the internet with the introduction of blockchain tech and cryptocurrencies.

Below is a picture to help explain what web3 is compared to web2 and web1

  1. Web3 is a money layer for the internet.
  2. Web3 is an identity layer for the internet.
  3. Web3 is a reaction to social networks not keeping our data secure and selling it for their own profit.
  4. Web3 is a way for artists and creators to not only own what they produce on a platform but the platform itself.
  5. Web3 is a new patron model for the internet.
  6. Web3 makes it easy to set up cooperative ownership and governance structures.
  7. Web3 is still not entirely decentralized.

Web1 = email + password
Web2 = Login with Facebook of Google
Web3 = Connect to Metamask (wallet)

Web 3 allows users to send and receive digital currency, keep their information secure, and utilize DE-centralized networks among all other benefits mentioned above.

In general, Web3 is simply a buzzword and is used to create engagement and bring users minds around the top we’re discussing at this current state of the internet.

With all this said, you SHOULD have a better understanding of what Web3 is and how it related to the current state of the Internet, if not, you can always reach-out to me on socials @thedudescrypto or @metadadsxyz
