Understanding Web3: The evolution from Web2 to Web3
Web2, also known as the social internet, was characterized by a concentration of power in large platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Users were dependent on these companies, leading to privacy restrictions, censorship, and lack of complete control over their data.
Web3: Decentralization and autonomy
Web3 aims to decentralize the Internet and give users more control over their data. Web3 uses blockchain technology to provide greater autonomy by eliminating intermediaries and creating an environment based on the principles of transparency, security, and privacy.
Explaining blockchain technology and its basic concepts
A blockchain is a distributed database of interconnected blocks. Each block contains cryptographically protected data and the entire network is decentralized, so there is no single point of failure.
Key concepts: decentralization, consensus, cryptography
- Decentralization: The absence of a central authority makes the network more resilient and decentralized, contributing to increased reliability.
- Consensus: Consensus mechanisms such as Proof of Work and Proof of Stake allow for consensus within a network without the need to trust a single participant.
- Encryption: Encryption ensures the security of transactions and data that are important for blockchain to function.
Blockchain technology has the potential to transform a variety of fields, and the soccer industry is no exception.
