The term Web3 was born in 2014 as an antithesis to Web2, characterized by the centralization of data by a small number of companies, the so-called Big Tech. On the contrary, Web3 focuses on decentralization and information security thanks mainly to a distributed architecture: the Blockchain.
Moreover, the Blockchain makes possible a series of applications such as Cryptocurrencies, Non-Fungible Tokens or Smart Contracts that promise to revolutionize the exchange and management of information as we know it today.
And that's not all: the Metaverse, thanks to Virtual and Augmented Reality, is fertile ground for the application of these technologies, potentially representing a unique ecosystem of its kind.
