Web 3 technologies are a set of decentralized, peer-to-peer technologies that aim to reshape the internet by putting users in control of their data and digital identity. Some key technologies of Web 3 include blockchain, smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), and decentralized finance (DeFi). Blockchain technology, in particular, is a fundamental component of Web 3 as it provides a secure and transparent way of recording and verifying transactions without the need for intermediaries. Smart contracts enable programmable, self-executing contracts that automatically enforce terms and conditions, while dApps are decentralized applications that run on blockchain networks, allowing for secure and censorship-resistant services. DeFi, on the other hand, refers to a growing ecosystem of financial applications that operate without traditional financial intermediaries, providing users with greater control over their assets and financial transactions.
