As the world evolves at an alarming rate, there are advances across all aspects of life and society. One industry, in particular, that is constantly adapting is the technology industry, with the new World Wide Web on the horizon. Named ‘Web 3.0’, the new iteration of the internet is highly anticipated by many experts across cryptocurrency, blockchain and technology. But the question is, what is Web 3.0?
What Is Web 3.0?
Web3 is the new concept for the traditional iteration of the World Wide Web. Expected to encompass blockchain technologies, decentralisation and token-based economies, Web3 was coined by Gavin Wood – the Co-Founder of Ethereum. First conceptualised in 2014, Web3 gained popularity among cryptocurrency enthusiasts in 2021; the concept of Web3 is also highly anticipated by large tech companies and venture capital organisations. Web3 will use blockchains, NFTs and cryptocurrencies to give power back to the users through ownership.
The Web 3 Foundation is dedicated to nurturing cutting-edge applications for decentralised web software protocols. They are highly passionate about delivering Web 3.0, an internet that is both decentralised and fair, and where users control their data, identity and ultimately their destiny.

What Does the Concept of Web3 Include?
- Decentralised: Currently, large swathes of the internet are controlled and owned by centralised entities. Web3 aims to have ownership distributed amongst its builders and users.
- Permissionless: Web3 will allow everyone equal access to participate; nobody will be excluded.
- Payments: On the current internet, payments are made by traditional banks and payment processes. On Web3, payments will be made by cryptocurrency, spending and sending money online via online currencies.
- Trustless: The current internet relies heavily on trusted third parties. Web3 will instead operate incentives and economic mechanisms.

What Are Web3 Cryptos?
Web3 cryptos are a new wave of cryptocurrencies that focus on making the decentralised vision of Web3 a reality. Combining blockchain technology and smart contracts, Web3 cryptos will give people control over their data and make transactions without relying on third parties.
