【 “Web3” refers to the “decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain”. Web3 The core elements can be summarized into two keywords: decentralization and blockchain. ]. I believe many people are both familiar and unfamiliar with the concept of Web3. China Web3 is also constantly developing. The author of this article will take you to understand the future trends of Web3 and Web3.
1, Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Web 3.0
Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 refer to the era in the history of the World Wide Web because it has developed through various technologies and formats. Web 1.0 roughly refers to the fact that from 1991 to 2004, most websites were composed of static pages, and the vast majority of users were consumers of content, not producers. Web 2.0 is based on the concept of "the network is a platform" and is centered on content created by users and uploaded to forums, social media and network services, blogs and other services. Web 3.0 refers to the next stage of the Internet ecosystem after the mobile Internet. It mainly uses blockchain and other technical means to realize a decentralized network form, realizing an Internet that simulates the real world experience and breaks the boundaries of virtual and reality.

Another concept worth mentioning is "Web3".
"Web3" refers to "a decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain". The core elements of Web3 can be summarized into two keywords: decentralization and blockchain.
Figure 2: Decentralized blockchain
Among them, centralized network is the technical method of most of our Internet products now. The company needs to build a set of servers or rent a set of servers (cloud servers) to provide code computing and data storage and calls to realize product functions and services and provide them to users. Users can complete the reception and operation of services through "clients" (probably mobile phones, Pads, PCs, TVs, etc.).
is a decentralized network. All users' devices have the characteristics of servers and clients. They also provide services for others and enjoy service operation functions. All data is stored on all nodes.
2. Characteristics of "Web3"
Figure 3: Web1.0, Web2.0 and Web3.0 features
, unified identity authentication system
user logs on the Internet and has only one identity, and each application and system can share this user's unique identity. Users can bring their data and interaction history together to flow, instead of staying on a single online platform.
, Data Rights Confirmation and Authorization
Returns the data ownership to the user, allows users to control their own data and dispose of their own digital assets.
3, privacy protection and anti-censorship
Web3 browser has strong anti-tracking (tracking), anti-cookies and anti-ads (advertising) capabilities. Browsing history and personal information are no longer owned by the platform, at least not owned by the platform, so users can decide whether to be tracked and at what level of tracking.
4. New Internet governance method
Simply put, it is to perform a certain governance function through the smart contracts used in the blockchain environment. Customers can directly trade peer-to-peer without endorsing through the credit of the large platform.
3. Advantages of "Web"
. Internet of Things
Each device will be connected to the Internet and have a transparent and trustworthy Internet economic model.
, stronger connectivity
uses semantic metadata to provide stronger connectivity.
3, peer-to-peer network
Ethereum technology decentralized network can protect user privacy and digital identity.
4, 3D graphics
uses virtual reality (VR) to present a more realistic and natural image.
5, semantic network
semantic analysis intelligent network, better understand information and no longer rely on keyword tags.
6, Artificial intelligence
Computers can understand information like humans. In fact, Web3’s purpose is not to replace the current tech giants, it is more like a social movement, moving from arbitrary power to a more rational model of freedom.
4. "Web3" development prospects
The core distinctive feature of Web3 is the decentralization of the business model. In this sense, it marks a reversal of the third phase of the Internet (hence the name "Web3") and the current status of users.
Web3 is the next iteration of , which may subvert this power structure and transfer it back to the user. Open standards and protocols can be returned. The purpose is to control no longer focus on large platforms and aggregators, but to be widely distributed through "licensing-free" decentralized blockchains and smart contracts.
What does this mean? Essentially, it can be used to take demediation as the core element, marks a paradigm shift in the business model of digital applications . Mediation may no longer be needed in terms of data, functionality and value. users and creators can take the upper hand and will have the motivation to innovate, test, build and scale through open source rather than proprietary applications.
Web3 is still a world in the pain of creation. Many issues need to be addressed, including those concerning regulation, before convincingly expanding to achieve mass adoption. However, a consumer-centric value proposition that unifies data, functionality, and value and creates opportunities for new, more efficient forms of application and asset ownership is a strong value proposition.
In the future, Web3 may take us in multiple directions, changing the industry, improving information acquisition channels, and even lowering the entry threshold for new companies. And now, we need to put in more effort for these possibilities.
I hope this article will be of some help to everyone understand "Web 3". We should also understand more about the growing technology to help us grasp the trend and become the leader in the new era. Newcomer: Yuanyuan classmate , I hope everyone will support it~~ Thank you very much~~~
