The web was now dynamic and with it came different use-cases we see nowadays like social media, e-commerce e.t.c</p> <h2> Web 3.0 </h2> <p>Web 3.0 brings a new dimension of decentralization to the web. As successful as web 2.0 was, it was very centralized in nature and was built on top of centralized entities like google, amazon, facebook e.t.c. The centralized structure of web 2.0 enabled these centralized entities to abstract most of the value of the internet for themselves. With Web 3.0 which is built on top of blockchain technology, the internet will be decentralized and each entity that participates have authority over their content.</p> <h2> Key Differences: How is web 3 different? </h2> <p><strong>-Open:</strong><br> Web 3 is Open i.e every software is open to the outside world<br> <strong>-Trustless:</strong><br> It will allow participants to interact publicly or privately without any trusted third party.<br> <strong>-Permissionless:</strong><br> Neither users nor suppliers need any authorization from a governing body for participating.</p> <p>CC: <a href="https://blockgames.gg/">BlockGames</a>, <a href="https://zuri.team/">Zuri</a>, <a href="https://nestcoin.com/">Nestcoin</a>.</p> web3 blockchain news
