What is Web 3.0: Explained

I. Introduction

The World Wide Web has evolved significantly since its inception, transitioning from essentially a reference desk (Web 1.0), to an interactive platform (Web 2.0). The awaited Web 3.0 promises to revolutionize the way users interact with the digital universe, particularly the cryptocurrency realm. This post uncovers the primary features of Web 3.0 and explores its potential implications on cryptocurrencies.

II. The Evolution of The World Wide Web

The world has seen a monumental shift from the static pages of Web 1.0 to user-generated content and collaborations in Web 2.0. Web 1.0 served as a one-way street for users to consume information passively, while Web 2.0 enabled users to become creators and contributors of content.

Transitioning from Web 2.0, the advent of Web 3.0 ushers in a new era that sees the web transformed into an intelligent platform; one that understands, interprets, and uses information autonomously.

III. Understanding Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is considered the 'intelligent web.' It leverages semantic principles to unite disparate data sets and make contextual references. Moreover, ubiquitous connectivity ensures constant feeding of real-time data between devices and networks, facilitating interoperability.

Artificial Intelligence forms the backbone of Web 3.0, enabling it to interact with users intelligently and offer personalized recommendations based on past behaviours and preferences.
