Dev Meeting 003: Web3 Primer

Dev Meeting 003: Web3 Primer

My notes from a Web3 primer. Learn how network interactions are evolving and why companies are adopting Web3 elements in their projects.

Key takeaways

  • Web1 = read, Web2 = write, Web3 = own. Each era redefines user interaction.
  • Web3 enables value exchange without intermediaries and creator-owned content.
  • Companies are already adopting Web3 elements like digital ownership into products.

I keep an eye on how technology reshapes creative industries. In early 2023, Web3 was one of the biggest conversations in tech. I invited Maciej Nowak — marketer and Web3 podcast host — to walk my team at the time through the fundamentals.

This post is a summary of an internal dev meeting. For Maciej's full takes on Web3, check out his podcast.

The Evolution of the Web

Web1 — READ

Static company websites. Content served to the user. One-way information flow.

Web2 — WRITE

Social media, SaaS platforms. Users actively co-create content — but platforms own the data.

Web3 — OWN

Value exchange without intermediaries. Creators retain rights to their content. New forms of applications and digital ownership.
