Web3 in a nutshell is the advocacy of your digital rights. The 1990-2020 era of the Internet was defined by a growing list of intermediary entities that kept gnawing away at ownership over your assets (banks), enterprise (e-commerce stores), creative content (social media platforms), and everything in between. With Web3, we’re going to take it back.
