New generation Internet: How Kucoin introduces Web3

The modern version of the Internet has a lot of shortcomings: centralized data storage makes possible theft of confidential information, restriction of access to services and failures in the operation of the network due to problems on the side of providers.

Together with Kucoin, we talk about the next generation of the Internet and its role in the ecosystem of the platform.

What is Web1, Web2 and Web3

The Internet is constantly developing: developers introduce new data transfer protocols and methods of interaction with users.

The creator of the URL and HTTP protocols in the book “The Sources and Future of the World Wide Web” identified two generations of the Internet, and later members of the WWW consortium introduced the definition of the third:

  • Web1 – sites with static content: text, links, images. The content of the pages changes only during rebooting;
  • Web2 -Interactive sites and web applications. Pages display personalized content created on the basis of data on behavior and preferences of visitors;
  • Web3 – Decentralized sites and applications. Users have digital data and private information.

With the popularization of blockchain and cryptocurrencies to Web3, elements of a digital economy were added: payments without intermediaries, smart contracts instead of contracts and monetization of data using NFT.

The Kucoin team is sure that the Internet of the new generation should be decentralized and convenient for users:

“We share the vision of Web3 Internet, which belongs to people and is being developed for people,” said Johnny Liu, General Director Johnny.

For this reason, Kucoin introduces the elements of Web3 into existing and new products-Kucoin Wallet wallet, Windwane NFT MARKETPLECE, Wonderland NFT player and other ecosystem services.
