Web 3.0 is a term given to a broad range of technological advances that constitute a huge evolution in the nature of the internet and our online lives. There are multiple lenses through which we can view web3. One is as a collection of growing sectors that are supported by blockchain technology and that includes the Internet of Things, the Metaverse, Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and Game-Fi.

Another is a conceptual shift in the way that the internet is organized, with companies and projects moving away from centralization to more decentralized structures.

We can also understand web3 through the impact it has on user experience, as it allows individual users more control over their personal data and assets, and enriches the ways they can interact and share value online.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we can understand web3 through the concept of web3 security. In moving beyond web2, web3 resolves many of the vulnerabilities that were inherent in web2 technology. However, this process is not completely painless as web3 also brings with it its own set of vulnerabilities, and inherits many of the problems of web2.

Web3 security can refer to the multiple attack vectors that web3 projects and users are confronted with, and the various means by which they can defend themselves. It also refers to a pivotal goal for the web3 more broadly, with the success of all web3 projects dependent on the security of the web3 ecosystem.
