Analysis

Web3 is a decentralised internet that uses blockchain technology to secure and manage data. It is often described as the next generation of the Internet. A Web3 company is where web3 technology is used to provide digital services. Web3 technology is still in its early stages of development, but it has already made significant progress. To better understand what “Web3” means, we should walk through a condensed history of the Internet and explain the terms Web1, Web2, and Web3. Web1 refers to the early days of the Internet. During this time, many businesses and content creators created their own websites to reach users all around the world. However, the sheer amount of content on the Internet made it difficult for users to find relevant products, services, and content. Web2 saw the rise of big aggregation platforms like Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram to help users easily find relevant content and sort through the noise of the Internet. While Web2 allowed them to have greater reach, businesses and creators no longer had control over their data and were often at the mercy of the aggregators. A simple shift of the algorithm or an unexplained ban could cause a giant loss in revenue.
