- What are the benefits of web 3.0. [decentralized internet]?
When web 2.0 was created it failed to capture any value on the protocol itself, all the value went to the applications built on top of it. However in web 3.0 the protocol now has the chance to capture value. If we take Ethereum for example, any application building on top of Ethereum protocol will be required to buy Ether [the ethereum token/currency] to pay for gas fees, this in turn increases the value of Ethereum through the process of supply and demand for Ether token.
Web 3.0 also allows small start up applications to be able to compete with larger co-operations by incentivising the use of their new platform by early adopters by issuing new application specific tokens to them. As these applications grow the value of these tokens should also grow.
- What is a token ?
A token is a fungible or non-fungible asset created to be used on a smart contract application, which in turn is running on top of a layer one protocol such as Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, etc.
- How do you create a token on Ethereum ?
A token can be created on Ethereum by creating a smart contract on the protocol and using the appropriate token standard code in solidity to create either fungible or non-fungible tokens.
