What is Web 3.0
Web3 is a new way of using the internet that is focused on giving users more control over their personal data and online activities. It's based on blockchain technology, which allows for secure and transparent transactions and data storage without the need for intermediaries. Think of it like a new internet, where users have more control and privacy, and where everything is decentralized. This means that there is no central authority or company controlling the information or transactions taking place. Instead, it is all stored and processed on a network of computers, making it more secure and trustworthy.
Overall, the goal of Web3 is to create a more secure and user-centric internet, where users are in control of their own data and can freely transact with each other without the need for intermediaries. Below are some of the standout sessions that you won't want to miss!
