- What are the benefits of web 3.0 (decentralized internet)?
The benefits of such internet heavily integrated with blockchain would be the fact that unlike in web 2.0 - a lot of the value would be captured not on the level of apps, but on the protocol level itself. Also, internet integrated with blockchains - the web 3.0 would be more censorship resistant, transparent and programmable than than it’s predecessor.
- What is a token?
Tokens may be fungible or non fungible abstract digital assets that may represent some sort of value, resource or even voting rights. Tokens can represent something in the real world or be simply rare digital collectibles (like NFT’s) or tokens may be a whole other cryptocurrency represented in tokens built upon the Ethereum network as ERC20 tokens.
- How do you create a token on Ethereum?
You write a smart contract in Solidity, you spend Ether in form of Gas to power the said smart contract and create the tokens in either ERC20 standard for fungible tokens, or ERC721/ERC1155 for non fungible tokens.
