Why I’m Learning Web3

Hey, I’m a senior frontend developer from the Web2 world, currently transitioning into Web3.

Over the past years, I’ve worked extensively with technologies like React, Vue, Next.js, Node.js etc. But lately, I’ve felt a strong pull toward something more fundamental — something that reshapes how the internet works.

Why Web3?

Because I believe Web3 unlocks unprecedented potential.

It offers a new paradigm of ownership, identity, transparency, and value coordination. The idea that users can control their own data, digital assets, and reputation — without relying on centralized platforms — is powerful and deeply inspiring.

Web3 isn’t just a trend. It’s a movement that could change the relationship between people and the internet.

My Current Starting Point

Right now, I’m a total beginner in Web3. I haven’t written smart contracts yet, and I’m still wrapping my head around how Ethereum, wallets, and protocols work.

My Learning Plan

Here’s what I plan to do:

  • 📚 Take online courses (Ethereum basics, Solidity, etc.)
  • 🧩 Play with challenges like Ethernaut and CryptoZombies
  • 💡 Analyze real-world Web3 projects and open-source codebases
  • 🧪 Build small, focused projects to apply what I learn
  • ✍️ Write regularly about what I’m learning — from technical breakdowns to mental models

I’ll use this blog to document my journey publicly. I believe writing is one of the best ways to reinforce learning — and maybe, help someone else along the way.

We can exchange ideas, share pain points in the comment area.
