There is been a lot of content about is web2 and web3, the differences, the similarities, and their future implications.
Let dive straight into it. What is Web2? The internet as we know it today can be said to be Web2. Web2 gives users better interaction with applications, better user experience, ease of use, and so on. Web2 allowed anyone to be a creator, users can easily upload a picture, a video, publish a post/article, comment on a post, it changed the traditional way of doing business, even education was transformed at this generation of the internet. An application like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, Apple was born out of it.
Web2 is cool, but it has one big problem "Data", this big tech application has access to users' data without the consent of the user, user's had no access to how their data was being used or stored. In simple terms, web2 operated on a centralized server. This is where web3 comes into play, web3 is the next-generation internet, that can do what web2 can do but more in a decentralized way.
Web3 is built on blockchain technology. Blockchain is built to be
- Open: It will be an open-source software built by an open and accessible community of developers and executed in the full view of the world.
- Trustless: Web3 is trustless and permissionless, which means participants can interact without permission from a trusted intermediary or governing body.
- Permissionless: users do not need any authorization from a governing body for participating.
Applications in Web3 run on decentralized peer-to-peer networks. That’s why they’re called decentralized applications, or dApps, rather than “apps.”.
Conclusion
As in web2 programming languages like TypeScript are used to build them, In web3 one of the commonly used languages is solidity. Thanks to Blockgames, Nestcoin, Zuri for the platform to learn about web3
