Web3 marks a revolutionary shift in the internet’s structure by decentralizing data ownership and control through blockchain technology. Unlike traditional Web2 platforms, where centralized entities manage user information and content, Web3 empowers individuals by enabling peer-to-peer interactions, token-based incentives, and autonomous governance via smart contracts. It supports transparency, user privacy, and innovation in sectors like finance, gaming, identity, and the metaverse. As we transition into this decentralized era, understanding how Web3 reshapes our digital presence is essential for navigating the future of crypto and the broader digital economy.

What is DeFi? DeFi (Decentralized Finance) refers to a movement in the blockchain space that removes traditional financial intermediaries like banks and brokers, allowing users to access services such as lending, borrowing, trading, and earning interest through decentralized platforms. DeFi aims to democratize finance, giving anyone with an internet connection access to global financial tools without relying on centralized authorities.
