Web1, web2 and web3 refer to different eras of the web. In this video we look at the history of the web, why it became centralized and controlled by a handful of companies, and how web3 will re-decentralized the web, restore trust through verifiable transparency, and give users digital ownership. Web3 will replace closed platforms with open protocols, just as the web1 replaced closed platforms like AOL, Compuserve & Prodigy.
