From Web1 to Web3

Understanding the Past, Present, and Future of the Internet

About this book

From Web1 to Web3 is your definitive roadmap through the current digital revolution. Authored by Ollie Bell, Nabil Hadi, and Daniel Strode, this book offers a clear, thoughtful exploration of the internet's evolution – from its humble, static beginnings to the dynamic, decentralized future that is emerging today.

The journey begins with Web1, an era defined by a read- only landscape of information where the internet functioned primarily as a digital library. As time moved on, Web2 brought a seismic shift with its explosion of usergenerated content and the rise of social media, fundamentally changing how we communicate and share. However, as centralized platforms increasingly controlled our digital interactions and data, a new need arose – a need for a system that returned control to the individual.

Enter Web3. In this new paradigm, blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, decentralized finance (DeFi), non- fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) converge to empower individuals with true digital ownership and control. Rather than relying on centralized institutions, Web3 leverages transparent, peer- to- peer networks to reimagine how we interact with the digital world.

This book provides not only a historical perspective but also practical insights for businesses and individuals alike. Through case studies featuring leading global brands and actionable guides on navigating decentralized applications (dApps), readers gain an understanding of how businesses and individuals are already using Web3 technologies to drive innovation and create value. Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, developer, or a digital native keen to reclaim your data and identity, this book offers the knowledge you need to adapt and thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Beyond the technical details, From Web1 to Web3 explores the broader cultural and economic shifts brought about by decentralization. It examines how these changes are redefining what it means to be connected and how trust is built in a world where power is shifting from centralized authorities to individual users.

This book is a balanced and accessible guide, providing the context, analysis, and practical advice required to understand the present and future of the internet. Your journey into the evolving world of Web3 begins here.
