Course on Web3

In recent months, there has been a resurgence in the usage of the term “web3”: a nebulous term that (like it or hate it) has suddenly become a banner for much of the innovation happening in the space of blockchain and distributed ledger technology. The term has been around for a while (since 2014 when Gavin Wood originally coined it), but now it seems to have, for better or worse, reached critical mass.

Blockchain Technology in layman’s terms

Blockchain technology can be regarded as a digital service without service providers . When we use Facebook、 When Google searches or anything else , We actually use an organization owned by individuals , Usually it consists of CEO business , A group of shareholders made a decision , We visit their services , They provide us with these services . Anyway? , It always involves this intermediate service provider , And these intermediary service providers have absolute control . So if we think of the Internet as a big country , The country is actually ruled by a group of dictators , Each of them has his own territory , Almost feudalism .
