Web3 refers to the potential future iteration of the World Wide Web, aiming to redefine the way we interact with digital information and services. It represents a vision of a more decentralized, user-centric, and blockchain-powered internet, in contrast to the current, predominantly centralized and corporate-driven Web2. However, it also raises some concerns pertaining to governance, security, and privacy.
