Web3
Also known as: Decentralized Web, Blockchain Web, Crypto Internet
A vision for a decentralized internet where users own their data, identities, and digital assets through blockchain technology.
Web3 represents the next generation of the internet—built on blockchain and decentralized technologies. Unlike Web2, where data and services are controlled by centralized platforms, Web3 enables users to interact directly with protocols using crypto wallets and self-sovereign identities. Core components include smart contracts, dApps, decentralized storage, DAOs, and token economies. Web3 empowers user ownership, censorship resistance, and composability across ecosystems. While still evolving, Web3 aims to redefine online interactions, finance, identity, and governance through cryptographic trust.
