The Evolution of the Internet: Web1, Web2, and Web3

Web3 represents a fundamental change in the internet – an economic layer. Web1 was about accessing and presenting information, while Web2 focused on collaboration and user-generated content. However, Web2 platforms captured most of the value, leaving users with little control. Web3 introduces an economic layer, allowing individuals to own and control their digital assets, including data and financial assets. This shift empowers internet users, offering them more autonomy, privacy, and freedom. The economic layer creates new opportunities for business, culture, and society.
