introduction to web 3.0
Web 3.0 or Web3 is the third generation of the World Wide Web. Currently a work in progress, it is a vision of a decentralized and open Web with greater utility for its users. With Web 3.0, end-users have complete control and ownership of their data and where it is used. The decentralized approach of Web 3.0 further enhances end-user control.
In less than 20 years the term “Metaverse”, coined by Neal Stephenson in the Cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, has gone from being part of the science fiction lexicon to becoming a reality under construction that tech giants like Facebook, Apple and Microsoft are working on.
A metaverse is a virtual reality space where users interact in the form of avatars. This alternate reality replicates perfectly the real world (adding some peculiarities) letting avatars, for example, buy and sell digital goods and create economies.
Since our current world is quickly moving to digital, more and more people are joining this new reality investing their time and energies to build in it. Thus, many objects emerge as digital only so, as a result to the issues of ownership and copyright, NFTs have established as global answer to the problem.

What is an NFT?NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. Similar to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, NFTs are digital assets that can be purchased, sold, and traded at will, just as you could anything else you owned. As you might surmise from the term “Non-Fungible”, it means that they are unique. Ownership of an NFT is often associated with a license to use such a linked digital asset. You can display the digital asset in your wallet, in your profile photo of your social media applications or even have it displayed in a digital screen in your living room.

What is Blockchain?A blockchain is a database used to store various pieces of digital information in chronological order. These pieces are called blocks. Blockchains are also decentralized, meaning their control is spread across several different authorities, offices, or entities instead of just one. The decentralized nature of blockchains allows buyers and sellers to deal directly with one another instead of working through a middle man or other authority. When someone decides to purchase an NFT, they naturally won’t be getting a physical asset to hold as they would if they bought an original painting by Van Gogh. Instead, their purchase of the original digital asset is recorded in a public blockchain ledger accessible by millions of computers worldwide. That record serves as proof of ownership and value for the associated NFT.

Are you familiar with the concept of Fungible and Non-Fungible?If something is fungible, it can easily be exchanged for something similar or equal to it in value. (Bitcoin is an excellent example of a fungible digital asset, as each Bitcoin is equal in value to every other.) A non-fungible asset (NFT), on the other hand, is one of a kind and has no equivalent.
