So much of the information available about NFTs, the Metaverse, and Web 3.0 is hype—or dense technical jargon that does little to clarify the opportunities or the obstacles inherent in these emerging technologies. Author Evan Karnoupakis provides real-world examples and perspectives that shed light on this intersection of topics.

This report provides an in-depth understanding of the complexities of the Web 3.0 ecosystem and where it's likely heading in the future.

After developing a working definition of blockchain and Web 3.0, it recounts the origin stories of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and NFTs, explores real successful blockchain implementations, investigates current regulatory practices, and concludes with the evolution of the metaverse and how to engage in the world of Web 3.0.

This report takes the current state of the most interesting and relevant aspects of the Web 3.0 universe and explains them in a manner that is both comprehensible to readers with limited technical knowledge, yet robust enough to be valuable to our target audience of business technology leaders. After a brief description of the meaning of Web 3.0 and the evolution from Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, the current state of Web 3.0 begins with an explanation of blockchain technology as a platform for Web 3.0.

After explaining blockchain as an internet of value along with its two key components, we explore the stories of Bitcoin and Ethereum as the first successful Web 3.0 use cases, and how Bitcoin is still the bellwether for the entire blockchain industry. We then continue with an analysis of the race for the stablecoin standard and valuation metrics for digital asset projects, followed by an in-depth discussion of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), which are currently two of the hottest Web 3.0 applications.

Readers will learn about:

Relationships amongst blockchain, Web 3.0, and the Metaverse
Real value of NFTs and their potential use cases
Current state of regulations and how to plan accordingly
Business applications of blockchain and Web 3.0 technologies that solve real problems
