Introduction to Web3
We’ve come a long way from the early days of the internet. What started as static web pages (Web1) evolved into today’s dynamic, social platforms (Web2). But now, a new version of the internet is emerging one that puts ownership, control, and transparency back into the hands of users. This next evolution is called Web3.
At its core, Web3 is about using blockchain technology to create a more decentralized and user-powered internet. Instead of relying on large corporations to manage your data, Web3 applications—often called dApps (decentralized apps)—allow you to interact, transact, and build online in ways that are more secure, transparent, and inclusive.
With Web3, you can:
Own your digital identity and assets (like NFTs, tokens, or domain names)
Earn through decentralized platforms without middlemen
Participate in decentralized finance (DeFi) and governance through DAOs
Whether you’re exploring crypto, trading NFTs, or curious about how blockchain is changing the internet, understanding Web3 is the first step to unlocking its full potential.
In this guide, we’ll break down what Web3 is, how it works, and why it’s changing the way we think about the internet. Let’s explore the future together.
