#WHATISWEB3 What is Web3?
Web3 (or Web 3.0) is the next generation of the internet — one that’s decentralized open and owned by users, not big tech companies.
🧠 In simple terms:
Web1 = Read only (1990s websites)
Web2 = Read + Write (social media, apps like Facebook, YouTube)
Web3 = Read + Write + Own (blockchain, crypto, NFTs, DAOs)

🌟 Key Features of Web3:
✅ 1. Decentralization
Data isn’t stored on one company’s server.
It's stored across a network of computers (blockchain).
No single company (like Google or Facebook) owns it all.
✅ 2. Ownership with Crypto
You own your data, money, and identity using crypto wallets like MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
No bank or third party needed!
✅ 3. Smart Contracts
Digital agreements that run automatically (no middleman).
Used in DeFi, NFTs, and more.
✅ 4. Token Economy
You can earn tokens (crypto) by using apps.
Examples: play-to-earn games, airdrops, staking, or yield farming.
✅ 5. Privacy & Control
You don’t need to give your name, email, or phone to use many Web3 apps.
Your wallet = your identity.
