  • Web3 vs. Web2: While web2 relies on centralized entities for data storage and control, web3 empowers users, fostering a more democratic, censorship-resistant online space.

3. Infrastructure and Development

  • Interoperability: aims for seamless interoperability between different platforms and applications, creating a more interconnected digital environment.
  • Decentralized Applications (DApps): supports the development and usage of decentralized applications that operate on blockchain networks, promoting inclusivity and user empowerment.

4. Challenges and Communities

  • Challenges: despite its promises, web3 faces challenges in  scalability, usability, and regulatory concerns that need to be addressed for widespread adoption.
