What is Web 3.0?

With the development of internet technologies, unique problems have also emerged. The problems caused by the fact that user data and therefore digital assets remain under the control of technology monopolies come to the fore. In the increasing content production in the Web 2.0 stage, the economic and technological benefit has been in favor of technology companies rather than users.

2The idea of Web 3.0, brought up in 2014 by the former CTO of Ethereum, Dr. Gavin Wood, also offers a new model that aims to overcome these problems. Web 3.0 is still under development, where decentralized applications called Dapps are at the forefront and users can control the ownership of their digital assets.

Web 3.0, which is expected to be used in the near future and defined as the third generation of the internet, is an environment where data is processed so to say by an intelligent human; websites and applications use machine learning (ML) techniques and decentralized ledger technology (DLT). Initially, Web 3.0 was referred to by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, as "Semantic Web" as a self-powered, intelligent and open internet.. 



What is Blockchain?

Establishing a decentralized network structure that can be trusted by parties that do not trust each other without a central authority is a dream that has been spoken for decades. This dream has entered the agenda of the group known as Cypherpunk since the 1990s and various studies have been carried out by the group members..

In 2008, the distributed ledger technology used after the definition of blocks consisting of chains in the Bitcoin technical documentation published by Satoshi Nakamoto was named blockchain. In the following years, many examples of blockchains with various consensus algorithms emerge.

Blockchain is still developing as a new technology. It will be useful to follow the difficulties experienced in this regard and the solutions offered, to get to know the consensus algorithms and smart contracts closely.



What is NFT?

With the use of digital assets on the blockchain, the idea of non-fungible digital assets has also emerged. With this perspective, which has pioneered the anonymous identity studies that have been spoken since the 1990s, the first project called Colored Coins was realized.

With the widespread use of Ethereum, non-fungible tokens, which find a place for themselves with smart contracts, have entered the agenda of the blockchain ecosystem as NFT. Today, NFT mining can be carried out on different blockchains and these NFTs can find a place for themselves in the wallets of Web 3.0 followers as collections. The process has entered a new era with the NFT 2.0 projects, where NFTs can be dressed on each other..




What is Metaverse?

WSocial networks, which are one of the most prominent concepts of the Web 2.0 stage, come to the fore from time to time as to how they will turn out in the Web 3.0 stage. Falling costs in the development of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, the use of blockchain technology, increasing digitalization with Covid-19 have shown that the concept considered as "Metaverse" can enter the lives of users more quickly.

It is thought that metaverse concepts, which we can think of as a social network on the blockchain and supported by AR / VR technologies, will quickly enter the agenda of both individuals and legal entities..
