Description
The Internet's next economic and cultural frontier is being shaped by a new era of decentralization. Web3, a term coined by Alex Tapscott, refers to a "Read-Write-Own Web" where individuals own their own identities and can securely trade assets like money, securities, intellectual property, and art peer to peer. This decentralized Internet is made possible by blockchains, the foundational technology of bitcoin, and promises a major shake up of business since the invention of double-entry bookkeeping in the Middle Ages. Web3 encompasses a range of concepts, including the metaverse, non-fungible tokens, DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identity. These building blocks and often hidden technologies will be foundational to our cultural and economic progress. In this book, Alex Tapscott provides a cutting-edge guide to the Internet's next era, covering everything from the basics to the often hidden technologies that will shape our future.
