?
Web 1.0 , 2.0 and 3.0
In the early days of the internet ( from 1990 ), the available websites were Web 1.0 applications. Websites had static data, served from static file systems, instead of databases. There was mainly reading and little interaction with the website visitors.
In 2004 Facebook was founded and Google went public with a value of $ 23 billion. That year the Web1 started to convert to Web 2.0 ( also called Web2 ), an interactive internet, driven by social connectivity and user generated content, the internet like we know it in the last 15 years.?Web2 sites run on centralised servers where the companies that manage them are the gatekeepers of those applications.

In 2014 Ethereum co-founder Gavin Woods started to refer to the next phase of the internet: a decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain, Web 3.0 ( also call Web3 ) was born. In 2021 , due to the interest in cryptocurrencies, Web3 got wide spread interest.
Web3 is all about the idea of decentralization and often incorporate blockchain technologies.?Blockchains are decentralized networks of many peer to peer nodes (servers). Anyone can participate in providing services for the network and will get incentives to do so. Users using the network will need to pay for this to the network, just as they now pay to cloud providers.
Besides decentralisation, is Web3 bringing transparency. Blockchain data is public and open, so there is a complete transparency over what is happening.
The decentralisation of the Web3 approach even moved into company structures, where Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) enable corporate community structures, without central managment, safe funding structures and funding linked to specific actions.
The apps in the Web3 ecosystem are often referred to as dapps (decentralized apps).
In our next episode we‘ll discuss some of these dapps : Web3 Wallets. We‘ll describe what they are, how they function and discuss Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, Argent, Trust Wallet, Coinomi, Exodus, Guarda Wallet, Crypto.com DeFi Wallet, Ledger Nano and Trezor.?
