- What are the benefits of web 3.0 (decentralized internet)?
From a development perspective the benefits come from the fact that value is created at the protocol level as opposed to the application level. This leads to a more egalitarian web, where smaller companies have more weapons to draw audiences and compete against huge firms.
As of now I am not convinced. The problem with the Steemit, for example, is that the model is not original. From a layman perspective it doesnât seem that much different than iwon.com from the early 2000s (as I recall). Basically you might win cash rewards just for using this search engine instead of Google. The problem is content wins, and the monopolies have better content. Especially if a system emerges where users just go around chasing the latest 3.0 application hoping to find the one that will work.
Of course I am new and likely wrongâŚ
A token is a measure of value within a Smart Contract. A tokenâs value can be monetary - or something else entirely.
- How do you create a token on Ethereum?
Basically you just write it yourself by creating a smart contract with Solidity.
