1. What are the benefits of web 3.0 (decentralized internet)?
Ans 1 : A decentralized internet frees the internet from being monopolized by the large corporations like Google. Apple, FB etc. giving all individuals, smaller business and companies the opportunity to compete in the economy. And with Blk chain, which is the protocol level of Web 3.0 most of the value is captured with no intermediaries involved, All entities can avail of the chance to earn money in an ethical, trustless manner and with the protocol of block chain, privacy, security, and data integrity is maintained.

2. What is a token?
Ans 2 : A token is a digital asset that represents value on a blockchain protocol, like an application
or a smart contract deployed on the top of a technical platform like ETH. A token can actually represent it’s own crypto currency. Tokens are either fungible or non-fungible.
Tokens that are identical to each other are called fungible, which is the most popular type and tokens that are unique to each other are called non-fungible.
There is no token that is on technical platform like ETH that is worth more than ETH itself.

3. How do you create a token on Ethereum?
Ans 3 : On ETH when you want to deploy a fungible token you use the ERC20 standard, and when you want to deploy a non- fungible token you use the ERC 721 or ERC 1155 standard.

  1. Web 3.0 gains value on the protocol level.

  2. Tokens are fungible or nontangible digital assets that run on an existing blockchain.

  3. You can create tokens on Ethereum by programming smart contracts.

  1. Monopoly of few companies will cease to exist which promotes privacy, security and innovation. Underlying protocols will be able to generate money unlike in Web 2.0.
  2. Token is built on smart contract platforms like Ethereum, EOS etc. It’s a programmed money of fixed supply based on smart contract.
  3. Tokens are created by writing smart contracts by hard coding the logic and number of tokens.
  1. With web 3.0, small companies and startups will be able to compete with some giant coorperations because they give the investors the chance to be an early-adopter.

  2. Token is a digital asset created by using smart contract. It has its own value and the crypto companies create them to build their own token economy.

  3. The tokens are created in Ethereum by using the ERC20.

1.The benefits of Web 3.0 are a decentralised system which gives more autonomy to smaller companies in competing with larger corporations. Those who adopt the protocol are incentivised to use a new platform where they acquire tokens which will increase in value as the lifecycle matures. Monopolies will will become extinct and privacy and security will be enhanced.

2.A token is a currency based on an actual coin that implements a smart contract.

  1. On Ethereum you can create tokens using code. Simple tokens are not secure and the better the code is written the higher the level of security. Ethereum can be used as the infrastructure with a standard like ERC-20 or ERC-777 used in order to connect with common wallets. The final stage is to use gas which is converted into ether which can execute functions within the smart contract.

  1. Since the value is captured in the protocol everyone who has an idea and is able to build a smart contract can compete with larger companies or even monopolies. Individuals in general are able to operate transactions P2P and cut out middle men which reduces cost and often time.

  2. A token is a currency build as a smart contract on top of another currency.

  3. You need to build a smart contract based on ERC20 standards if you want to have a fungible token. Non Fungible Token are build on other ERC Standards.

1. What are the benefits of web 3.0 (decentralized internet)?
You have benefits in different layers.

  • In terms of the protocol, Web 3.0 allow to monetize this layer, that has been delivered for free in the past. This way, the protocol is able to pay for the decentralized infrastructure that it is using, and to its own programmers in order to keep the platform healthy, independent and growing.
  • For dapps developers, each one will be able to develop their own economical system in their platforms, where they can define incentives and costs freely, and where they can develop interoperable tokens if they follow the ERC-20 standard. Of course, they will need to create a proposal of value that engages their target user, but they will work over a network that cannot be censored, and where data is immutable.
  • Finally, for end users, they will be able to use applications built over a platform that has the highest availability in the market, native support for financial transactions, and where they can verify everything that is registered in the blockchain, knowing that data cannot be distorted or manipulated.

2. What is a token?
A token is a currency that is created into a Smart Contract (that runs in a protocol), which is different from a coin, that is money that is forged into a protocol.

3. How do you create a token on Ethereum?
You can create a token by programming a Smart Contract. However, if you want your token to be easily added to the most common wallets and exchanges, you should follow the ERC-20 standard (which enables interoperability for fungible tokens)

ps: I read some answers from my classmates, and I really believe that “digital asset” is a better way to define token than currency.

  1. The protocol gains value instead of only the applications. Small companies can compete with giant corporations. Early adopters are incentivized to use a new platform as they will be rewarded with tokens that will increase their value if the application succeeds to have wide adoption.

  2. Token is a smart contract or application, deployed on top of the ethereum platform, that represents its own cryptocurrency.

  3. By programming a smart contract written in Solidity code using the ERC20 standard.

There are many many benefits to a decentralized web, not least of all is the creation of value at the protocol level. This translates into sustained economic reward for the development and maintenance, in a decentralized fashion, of blockchain networks that solve real world challenges, as opposed to concentrating that value in centralized app or dapp ownership on top of the protocol, in this case blockchain protocol,

This opportunity for economic gain incentivizes innovation and broadens community engagement in prospective projects that contribute value not only economically but also socially. This decentralized internet shifts the power paradigm from an authoritarian style business and social model to one of a free and open community of contributors and participants engaged in the creative evolution of society.

A token in the case of an ERC20 token is essentially a smart contract that represents a digital asset for an application that is built on top of a native blockchain. The creation and distribution of a particular token can facilitate funding for a project’s development and release, The token then functions as a medium of exchange within the project’s ecosystem with the potential to interact with other tokens on other apps.

A token is created on Ethereum by using an ERC20 token smart contract that defines a set of six functions that all tokens on the Ethereum network use. The ERC223 standard made some improvements on the ERC20 SC specifically a send to contract design flaw that resulted in tokens being sent to contracts and lost. It is backwards compatible with ERC20 while the ERC721 introduced the possibilility of NFTs to the Ethereum network. The ERC777 standard is the latest iteration beyond the ERC223.

Hello IoT community!

Question…

I want to try my hand at creating a token using ERC20. Do I need a facebook account? I don’t have one and have no desire to ever have one.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

1. Transparency
The benefit of distributed ledger technologies and decentralization in Web 3.0 is that you can follow your own data and inspect the code behind the platforms you choose to use. You don’t need to trust a major corporation. In fact, there may be no corporation at all behind the platform you’re using.

2. Fewer Middlemen
Decentralization promises to connect providers directly with consumers. No central authority will take a cut of the profits from an electronic transaction.

3. Privacy
You can secure and track your personal data on the Web.

4. Data Ownership & Sharing
With Web 3.0, you’ll likely have one personal profile that works across numerous platforms. You’ll own your profile and associated data that you won’t need to give away to corporations. However, if you choose to, data will be easier to share, its accuracy can be verified, and you’ll even be able to sell your data to advertisers or brands.

5. Incentivize Creators
Connecting consumers directly with producers has the added benefit of making it easier to become a producer. Without middlemen and gatekeepers, people around the world can start businesses and find customers directly on Web 3.0.

Web 3.0’s Advantages
Web 3.0 is the future of the internet, where applications become smarter, more private, and more decentralized. As the new infrastructure and platforms come online, the experience of using the internet will change dramatically. Today’s internet is an amazing resource, and it enables us to do powerful things. However, it also requires us to give enormous amounts of data to middlemen companies who aren’t transparent about their practices. Web 3.0 seeks to change that and create a more open and transparent internet.

Coins are native to their own blockchain. Whilst tokens have been built on top of another blockchain, like Ethereum.
Crypto tokens, which are also called crypto assets, are special kinds of virtual currency tokens that reside on their own blockchains and represent an asset or utility.

You need to create a smart contract that runs on the EVM. You usually write this smart contract in Solidity and the EVM will compile it into bytecode which will then create a new token that follows the rules of the smart contract you wrote.
