The Internet has been a transformative tool that has changed the way we communicate, work and relate to each other. However, as we move into the future, a new vision of the Internet emerges: Web3. 

Web3 refers to the third generation of the Internet, powered by blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. While Web1 was the static web of the early days and Web2 focused on user interaction and participation, Web3 seeks to decentralize control of the Internet and empower users through blockchain technology.

Blockchain technology provides a secure and transparent infrastructure that enables the transfer and exchange of digital value in a reliable manner. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are examples of blockchain technology applications and have been instrumental in the development of Web3.

Web3 introduces concepts like smart contracts, dApps (decentralized applications) and DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations). Smart contracts are computer programs that automatically execute agreements based on pre-defined rules, eliminating the need for transaction intermediaries. dApps are applications that work on the blockchain and offer greater security and privacy. DAOs are organizations that operate autonomously, based on rules and protocols established in smart contracts.

Web3 has the potential to democratize access to information and services, as well as encourage active user participation. Personal data can be protected and users can have greater control over their digital identity. In addition, Web3 can drive the creation of new business models and forms of collaboration.
