Understanding Web3

  • Web1 started during the 1990s, and it was a period marked by people connecting to the internet and reading what was there, but not publishing or contributing themselves.
  • Web2 came into being during the early 2000s with the rise of social media, faster internet speeds, and mobile devices. Web2 was a period marked by user generated content, targeted advertising, and corporate owned data.
  • Web3 is a new era of the internet that is currently emerging thanks to the power of blockchain technology. Web3 is marked by user-owned data, open-source software, decentralized platforms, property rights, collective action, digital money (cryptocurrencies), and interoperability.
Web3 is attempting to solve many of the problems that arose during Web1 and Web2, and it will hopefully be yet another step in the direction of a digital world that works better for more people.

Cardano restores trust to global systems - creating, through science, a more secure, transparent, and sustainable foundation for individuals to transact and exchange, systems to govern, and enterprises to grow.
Cardano brings a new standard in technology - open and inclusive - to challenge the old and activate a new age of sustainable, globally-distributed innovation.
Unparalleled Security - And The Makings Of A Trustless World
Cardano makes it possible for any actors that do not know each other - and have no reason to trust one another - to interact and transact, securely. It's a platform for building trust where none might naturally exist, opening up whole new markets and opportunities. Through Ouroboros, Cardano is provably secure against bad actors and Sybil attacks. Every transaction, interaction, and exchange is immutably and transparently recovered, and securely validated using multi-signature and a pioneering extended UTXO model.
Key Features

Decentralization

Cardano offers the most decentralized global financial operating system, empowering individuals by eliminating intermediaries and distributing control to the edges. If you are curious about the decentralization between different popular blockchains click here

Governance

The Voltaire era of Cardano will provide the final pieces required for the Cardano network to become a self-sustaining system. With the introduction of a voting and treasury system, network participants will be able to use their stake and voting rights to influence the future development of the network.
