Web3Beginner

Web3

A broad label for internet applications using blockchains for functions such as ownership, payments or coordination.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

Web3 describes a design direction rather than one technical standard. A website may use wallet-based transactions and onchain ownership while relying on familiar hosting or centrally run data services. Understanding the actual components is more useful than assuming every part becomes decentralized because the app uses the Web3 label.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

You connect a wallet and interact with the onchain app, while its web interface still arrives from conventional hosting.
