🌐 What Is Web3?

Web3 is the next version of the internet that gives you full control over your own data and digital assets, without relying on big companies.
To simplify, the evolution of the internet can be divided into three stages:

1️⃣ Web1

• Example: News websites in the 1990s
• You could only read, not comment or upload content
• One way information

2️⃣ Web2

• Examples: Instagram, YouTube, Facebook
• You can post, comment, like, and sell products
• But… your data and account are controlled by large companies

3️⃣ Web3

• Built on blockchain technology
• Not controlled by a single company
• You control your own assets and account (using a crypto wallet)

🔗 What Technologies Does Web3 Use?

Some key technologies behind Web3:

🧱 Blockchain

A public database that is transparent and difficult to manipulate.
Popular examples:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum

👛 Crypto Wallet

A digital wallet used to store cryptocurrencies and log in to Web3 applications.
Example:

• MetaMask

📜 Smart Contracts

Programs that run automatically on the blockchain.
For example: sending money automatically when certain conditions are met.
