Why you should join the transition to Web3: an introduction for dummies

In the past two years, the internet has undergone a major transformation. The introduction of blockchain technology and decentralized networks has led to an explosive growth in Web3 technologies and subsequent decentralized applications (dApps). This article outlines everything you need to know about the transition from Web2 to Web3. Read on to learn why it matters, what the implications are for your business or organisation, and what actions you can take today.

What is Web3 and why does it matter?
Web3 is the next evolution of the internet. It's a decentralized network infrastructure that is owned and controlled by no single entity. It's open source, open standard, and open to every person and business. The rise of Web3 is a culmination of three major trends that are transforming the internet as we know it:

- The rise of the internet of things (IoT)
- The explosive growth in the number of devices connected to the internet
- The shift towards a more distributed, peer-to-peer internet architecture

The future of the internet will be decentralized
In Web2, applications and data are often centralized and hosted by one single provider. This means that there is a single point of failure and high risk of data breaches and hacking attempts. In the event of a breach, there is no way to guarantee complete data privacy and security. In a decentralized network architecture, the data is held and managed by a network of nodes, meaning there is no single point of failure. There are also no single owners of the data, meaning that the data is 100% private and secure.

Implications for your business or organization
The transition to a decentralized internet has significant implications for businesses and organizations, as well as individual users. It is important to start preparing and investing in the transition as soon as possible, because it will be a lengthy process. You need to think about how to manage data, how to build new products and services, and how to engage with your customers.

Data
You need to think about how to handle data; whose data is it and where is it being stored? How do you ensure the privacy and security of your customers’ data?

Product and service development
You need to develop new product and service offerings that are decentralised and fully integrated with Web3 technologies.

Customer engagement
You need to understand how to engage with your customers in a new way; how to provide new customer experiences that are decentralised and fully integrated with Web3 technologies.
