A new avatar of the internet has been creeping up on the world. This new internet is the highly decentralized Web3. Web3 is the internet owned by the builders and users, orchestrated with tokens. To fully appreciate the value of Web3 and Metaverse, it is critical to understand how we got here and the journey of web1, web2 and web3. Web1 is the era of READ when it was the time of users and builders; Web2 is the era of WRITE which was ushered in the creation of content en masse; Web3 is the era of OWN, which combines the decentralized, community-governed ethos of Web1 with the advanced, modern functionality of Web2.

The Metaverse presents a new era where we connect, work, and shop are at the convergence of physical and digital worlds. Leading businesses are beginning to explore the metaverse and web3 to create brand new experiences and goods to accrue value back to themselves. However, true value can be created only once one understands how the entire Web3/Metaverse tech stack comes together – and when one appreciates new concepts, like decentralized, autonomous organizations (DAO), NFT, blockchain and DApps. Businesses should go beyond the hype of Web3 and Metaverse to study less known topics like crypto business models and token economies – and start defining relevance for their particular industry. And then approach the Metaverse with a near-term action by understanding these technology stacks and selecting a few lower-risk opportunities available. Contact us to learn more.
