Web3 Foundations

Web3 Foundations

Unleash the Internet’s promise.

Web3 represents an exciting, emerging evolution in technology. Building on the foundation of Web2, Web3 introduces critical elements of trust, control, and the management of interactions both among individuals and within the wider digital world.

The Web3 Foundations Course is thoughtfully divided into three comprehensive sections. Initially, the course provides a general introduction to what Web3 is, as well as exploring the integral features and elements that constitute this technology. This portion of the course is designed to be a general overview and does not delve into technical specifics.

Subsequently, the course incorporates a technical introduction to Web3. This part of the curriculum illuminates the technical stack, elaborates on the skills and competencies required to navigate within this technological adaptation, and provides several practical exercises and projects to construct your first Web3 application.

In its final segment, the course continues with a general discussion concerning the technology, broaching the subject of how to implement applications for a variety of stakeholders, including individuals, companies, organizations, and governments. Much like the initial part, this section does not necessitate a technical skill set.

Key Takeaways:

  • Having a basic understanding of Web3
  • Learning about tokenomics
  • Understanding the technical structure of Web3
  • Learning about how to adapt the technology to your organization
