What are the benefits of web 3.0 (decentralized internet)?
-
Decentralized internet financially incentivises new users to use the platforms by offering tokens in reward for adding to/using the network. In Web2.0 user content is “owned” by the network and they make money from it.
-
Interoperability between dapps deployed on the same blockchain;
-
By removing the need for intermediaries (google facebook etc), who manage and provide many of the Web 2.0 services we use today, markets should become less dominated
What is a token? - A token is a unit of value or programmable asset/utility that is deployed as a part of a Dapp to create value. For example people would need hold Ether to use any smart contracts on Ethereum platform as there is a GAS cost to deploy them.
How do you create a token on Ethereum?
To create a token on Ethereum smart contacts are used and are written using a language called Solidity. Fungible tokens must use the ERC-20 standard, this allows for tokens from different ecosystems to have the same foundation and allows for better interoperability between Ethereum ecosystems.
