Web 3 promises a decentralized future and is set to grow steadily, hitting USD 6.06B by 2030.
Internet has been on a constant evolution since its birth in the mid-90s. Web 1 was a read-only internet version, where users could only consume information. Web 2, the current version, includes social networks and apps that allow users to read and interact with information.
However, big tech corporations tend to store user data and can use it without the user’s permission. Web 3, the next generation of the internet, lacks centralized databases. Users own their data and can operate with privacy backed by blockchain technology. According to Mordor Intelligence, Web3 is projected to grow from $1.04 billion over the next five 5 years to 6.06 billion by 2030.
Web3 utilizes blockchain technology in powering decentralized finance(DeFi) and ownership of digital assets such as NFTs. With notable players such as Chainlink, Polygon, and Amazon backing the growth of web3, the market has seen a 42.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This is indicative of rising interest and web3 adoption.
