What is Web3?
Web3 is the third generation of the World Wide Web. It is a decentralized platform that enables users to interact with applications and services without the need for intermediaries. Web3 technologies include decentralized applications (dApps), blockchain, and smart contracts. With Web3, users can own their data, control their digital identity, and be in charge of their own destiny.
What is Web3 Gaming?
Web3 gaming is the future of online gaming. It is a new way to play games that are interactive, immersive, and connected.
