Redefining the Internet: What Exactly Is Web3.0 Solving?
The Internet has gone through three developmental stages, and Web3.0 represents the third iteration. Rather than being a new concept, it is a direct response to the shortcomings of the existing Internet.
Tim Berners-Lee proposed a vision in 2006—that users should own their own data. Eight years later, Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood further refined this idea, advocating that Web3.0 should be a censorship-resistant, anti-monopoly, low-threshold network protocol.
In simple terms, Web3.0 is a new generation of the Internet centered on blockchain technology, aiming to return data ownership and autonomous governance rights to users. Since Web3.0 is based on blockchain, it naturally inherits all blockchain features such as decentralization, immutability, traceability, and transparency.
