Web3, often called Web 3.0, is about moving away from the centralized internet we know today—think Big Tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon controlling everything—and shifting toward a decentralized setup. The core idea is to give power back to users. Instead of corporations owning your data or dictating how you interact online, Web3 uses blockchain technology (the same stuff behind Bitcoin and Ethereum) to create a system where users have more control, ownership, and privacy. It’s like going from renting an apartment to owning your own house—except it’s your digital life we’re talking about.
