Employees abandoned the big factory but rushed to the WEB3 track. What exactly is WEB3?
In the past period of time, we have seen that in the Internet entrepreneurial circle, everyone seems to be talking about WEB3, and an article with 100,000+ articles has become popular in the circle of friends. The title of this article is "WEB3 has nothing to do with China", and it is followed by a 10,000-character long article of explosive style, which is tit for tat. The article was titled "Why the WEB3 Revolution Will Happen in China". The debate between the two sides was inexorable, and it became the talk of many people in the circle who eat melons.
In addition, there are a group of employees from Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance who resolutely chose to resign without hesitation, and then rushed to the WEB3 track, which undoubtedly makes WEB3 give people a charming taste. So what exactly is WEB3? Let's put aside those technical terms, professional terms, and talk about WEB3 in an easy-to-understand manner?
To understand what WEB3 is, then you must understand what WEB3 and WEB2 are, because the reason why WEB3 is 3 is relative to WEB1 and WEB2.
Let's start with WEB1. WEB1 is the era of portals. Content and data are created by major portal websites. Ordinary users only serve as browsers. It was the major portal websites of Sohu, NetEase, Sina, and Tencent at that time. All you could do on these platforms was reading, unilaterally obtaining information, and not being able to participate in interaction.
When it comes to WEB2, which is our current Internet platform, user creation, platform ownership, platform control, and platform distribution are controlled by a very small number of companies to make money. In the WEB2 era, there are comments, likes, private messages, chats, articles, videos, etc. Functionality, WEB2 is not only readable, but also writable and interactive. The typical representatives of WEB2 are WeChat, Douyin, Kuaishou, etc. The platform still has great power. Even if you have been writing on the WeChat public account for many years and accumulated countless users, once you violate the platform’s red money intentionally or unintentionally, your account It was blocked in minutes, and all of a sudden returned to before liberation. This is what WEB2 citizens worry and fear most.
In WEB3, all assets and data of users are returned to individuals, that is, user creation, user ownership, user control, and protocol distribution. In WEB3, you can not only read and write, but more importantly, you can own and control. Possession and control may be the biggest difference between WEB3 and WEB2. In WEB3, you can firmly own and control your own account, and you no longer have to worry about your painstakingly managed account being blocked overnight by WeChat or Douyin. Can own and control their own online data. For example, in the WEB2 era, once the shopping information on Taobao, your preferences and needs information are directly owned by the platform, the platform sells the data to the merchants, not only does not discuss with you, but will not give you a penny.
In WEB3, the control of your online data belongs to yourself. You can selectively sell your data to the platform. If you don’t want to sell it, you can’t sell it, and the platform has no choice. In addition, in WEB3, you can own and control your own data Digital assets, the digital assets you store in your digital wallet, as long as the private key is in your hands, no one can freeze your assets.
Having said so much, we can understand that WEB3 is a new Internet model based on blockchain technology and concepts, and the blockchain plays the underlying technology or core architecture of WEB3. Although the concept of WEB3 and the future picture are not so clear, WEB3 is not an illusory concept. Whether we believe it or not, or even have the concept of WEB3, the Internet itself will evolve in this direction, and WEB3 is truly mature. It could be 5 or 10 years away, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether you think it's a vague and right direction, what matters is whether you choose to engage or miss out.
