How Web 3.0 is Revolutionizing the Internet: A Technical Comparison with Web 2.0

A visual comparison between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, with Web 2.0 representing centralized silos of information and Web 3.0 representing decentralized networks built on blockchain technology.

The internet has come a long way since its inception, and it has undergone several changes. The initial version of the internet, known as Web 1.0, was mostly static and one-way, with users only able to consume content. With the advent of Web 2.0, the internet became more interactive, and users could interact with each other and generate content. 

Today, we are on the brink of a new era of the internet, Web 3.0, which promises to be more decentralized, secure, and user-focused than its predecessors. In this blog, we will explore the technical differences between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0.

Decentralization

One of the primary differences between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 is decentralization. Web 2.0 is centralized, with a few companies controlling most of the internet’s content and services. In contrast, Web 3.0 is decentralized, with no single entity in control. The blockchain technology powering Web 3.0 allows for distributed ledger systems, enabling decentralized applications (dApps) and services.

Interoperability

Web 2.0 applications are isolated and siloed, meaning that data and functionality are limited to a specific platform or service. Web 3.0 applications, on the other hand, are designed to be interoperable, allowing d
