What is web3 and why should you care?

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Everything we use nowadays when it comes to apps, devices and before all our data transfer is web2. We have become accustomed to a pattern in which it is a large corporation that is at the forefront of technological innovations, what it serves to our hands and that it manages our data not necessarily in an ethical way.

What if I told you that there is a different concept of a company on the horizon, created mainly by users, a concept that doesn’t take for granted having a big tech giant over its head that will go as far as anything to make big money.

Web3 is a new idea tied to blockchain technology that takes advantage of the ability to write applications using smart contracts. All the application code is stored on a shared blockchain, which is created by the community.

It comes to ask the following question, how is my data safe? Well, all data on the blockchain is hashed, what we see and what the recipient of our message will see on the general blockchain, for example, will be visible as a set of letters and numbers.

Personally, I approach web3 very enthusiastically, and the main reason is the reality we live in, that is, constantly tracking cookies, applications running in the background and personalized advertising to the maximum. Web3 is the answer to not only these problems, but many others as well.
