The Next Evolution of the Internet
Web3 was born from the vision of a decentralized internet where users own their data and assets. While Bitcoin and DeFi were the first waves, the future is much larger.
Decentralized Identity (DID)
Identity is currently controlled by a few tech giants. Web3 enables self-sovereign identity where users control their digital presence across applications without a central authority.

- DIDs: Standardized way to identify users across blockchains.
- ZK-Proofs: Verifying information (like age or citizenship) without revealing sensitive data.
- Composable Protocols: Building apps like LEGO blocks.
The Role of Social Protocols
Protocols like Lens and Farcaster are showing how social networks can be built without a central owner, where the "graph" is shared.
