In the coming years, Web2 and Web3 will not compete but instead move toward closer integration.
Web2 platforms such as Google or Apple will remain the main entry points for millions of users, which means they are slowly adapting to decentralized technologies and services. At the same time, Web3 is evolving as an invisible “layer” beneath the surface blockchain is used for payments, secure data storage, and digital identity, while the user experience stays simple and familiar.
Regulation will strongly influence the pace of adoption. The outcome is “Web2.5”: a balanced model combining Web2’s convenience with Web3’s transparency and security.
