Web3 is the version of the internet being built upon blockchain technology. It is still a new concept. The current version of the internet is called Web 2.0 and it is mostly controlled by centralized big tech companies. Web3 aims to change that and put power back in users’ hands where no central authority would be able to control how you use the internet.

A simple Web3 ecosystem would have dApps, NFTs, Semantic Web, Virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain interoperability. Almost all sections of Web3 are under heavy development right now.

There can also be countless other Web3 ecosystems where the current version of the software would be replaced by decentralized versions.

Features of Web3 Ecosystems

• Users have complete control over their data. No central authority can censor or alter your data. This would be very helpful for reputation-based monetization. Users can extract informational value from their data if they want.

• Web2 ecosystems only relied on market participants but Web3 ecosystems interact with users at all layers be it governance, financial or infrastructural layers. Web3 participants help build the platform not just use it.

• Tokens or coins are a central feature in Web3 as they help manage all testosterone enanthate half life market-related activity. Producers get extra incentives to provide supply through coins. Similar rewards are available for almost all users who provide value like developers or processing power. 

• In Web3 no authority provides the market platform, instead, it’s the ecosystem that creates it. This leads to immutable user history and ownership proof of assets. Web3 ecosystems reduce the role of middlemen. 

How to get started in Web3 Ecosystems

• Learn about the workings of Web3 and blockchain technology – It can be a bit technically challenging at first but as you gain knowledge, things would start getting easier.
• Join Web3-related social communities – there are countless subreddits, good Twitter accounts, and discord servers that you can join.
• Learn smart contracts – Smart contracts are basically contracts written in programming languages so that blockchain can understand them. There is going to be exceptional demand for people who can verify or design smart contracts.
• Contribute service or resources – You can also lend computing power to a web3 ecosystem or join a Web3 based company to help them get established.
• Familiarize yourself with Web3.js – Web3.js is used to program web clients that can communicate with the Ethereum blockchain.

Conclusion 

Web3 as of right now is mostly a concept. A lot of progress has been made recently to build complete decentralized ecosystems but far more needs to be done yet. The key thing right now is enhanced user engagement with Web3-related associations. 

Getting started on the current version of the Web3 ecosystem is not difficult as well. Besides, the more you learn now the better chances you’d have to take advantage in the near future.

We have explained the workings of Web3 in detail previously. There is also an explainer on dApps that you can read.
