The emerging Web3 space encompasses the next generation of Internet technologies, infrastructure, products, and services. Decentralized protocols, cryptographically ensured security, and token-based economics are major themes in this evolution. We are in the early stages of a technology revolution where digital assets are enabling programmatic contracts and trustless interactions, allowing censorship resistance, and empowering users with ownership of their own data.
