The web is evolving from a centralized platform to distributed, user-owned ecosystems. Web3 represents this shift, promising a more open and connected internet built on blockchain technology.

Key Principles of Web3

Decentralization

No single entity controls data. Instead, information is stored across a network of computers, increasing security and eliminating centralized points of failure.

Tokenization

Digital assets and ownership are represented by tokens (NFTs, crypto) that live on the blockchain, enabling new business models and digital scarcity.

Web3 Technologies in Action

Blockchains

The foundation of Web3, providing immutable, distributed ledgers for transactions and smart contracts.

DAOs

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations enable democratic decision-making without traditional corporate structures.
