Projects with the Web3.0 label emerge in endlessly
The well-known Web3.0 evangelist is Mr. Jiawen, the founder of Polkadot. The project intends to build a decentralized open source network that can cross chains. Then there was the Filecoin distributed storage network and so on in the construction of this aspect. Before the latest Web3.0 boom, Polkadot and Filecoin were probably labeled with Web3.0. Often this type of infrastructure is placed with super high expectations and can maintain a long-term popularity, but the popularity gradually fades after the mainnet is launched.

Investment moves continue to increase, tens of millions of investments are not rare
The development of any industry is inseparable from the support of assets. Under the upsurge, there are more and more investment institutions around Web3.0. As the saying goes, all prosperity in the world is profit. Before that, we found that the funds were focused on Polkadot's mainstream projects, mostly the investment actions of project foundations, such as Polkadot's Web3 Foundation.
For specific actions, we can find answers from investment institutions and related investment events. On January 19th, Web3 and social game publisher Carry1st announced that it had raised $20 million in Series A financing. Prior to this, Web3.0 infrastructure developer Forward Protocol received $1.2 million in seed rounds and private equity financing, Web3 Privacy Infrastructure Nym completed $13 million in Series A financing, Web3.0 creator economic platform Darkblock completed $1.7 million in financing, Web 3 basic expansion agreement Mysten received A round financing of 36 million yuan, and decentralized social media protocol Mem Protocol completed $3.1 million Financing...Finance news one after another.

The point of view is sharper, and the discussion on Web3.0 is gradually deepening
In the past, the discussion on Web3.0 has always focused on representative projects and the history of Internet development, without any new interpretations. But now the discussion on Web3.0 is much more interesting. Some reports joked that "a16z defines everything about Web3.0 today", which essentially means that a16z constantly controls the key information of Web3.0 through investment and interpretation. Regardless of the marketing component, there are supportive and skeptical comments about whether Web3.0 is the next generation of the Internet.
Fred Wilson, co-founder of Union Square Ventures, a supporter, believes that Web 3.0 is an innovation that brings about change, and it cannot be overemphasized. If widely adopted, Web 3.0 technology will start to improve in other ways, it will become faster, more efficient, easier and more secure to use. Twitter senior project manager Esther Crawford believes that Web3.0 means that all created value can be shared by more people, not just platform owners, investors and employees.
Skeptical Twitter founder Jack Dorsey expressed his concerns in a tweet. Web 3.0, he says, is not a decentralized dream, as its evangelists proclaim, but a hubbub controlled by venture capitalists. For Musk asking tweet, has anyone seen Web3.0? He replied directly that it was between a and z. Moxie Marlinspike, founder of the encrypted communication application Signal, said that Web 3.0 cannot liberate us from centralized platforms, and web 3.0 will not fundamentally change our relationship with technology.
But there are also very neutral and objective remarks. Not long ago, at the hearing in the United States, the concept of Web3.0 popularized by BitFury CEO Brian Brook was very popular. He briefly described that "Web3.0" is a derivative of the current Internet's underlying protocol "World Wide Web". In this concept, the Internet has gone through the era of Web 1.0, and is currently in the era of Web 2.0, while Web 3.0 is people’s expectation for the next generation of the Internet, which means that machines can understand any information (that is, the Semantic Web), Websites can provide intelligent screening and provide better information based on information (artificial intelligence), the Internet is ubiquitous (Internet of Things), and more importantly, the ownership of Internet data will be decentralized. That is to say, Web3.0 is the next milestone in the development of Internet technology, and it is still in the waiting period. The process will integrate many emerging technologies and realize the decentralization of data ownership.
To sum up, the reason why Web3.0 has seen a new level of attention, in addition to capital investment and market hype, the deep-seated reason for the change is the accumulation of internal conditions, including the application layer, protocol layer, and computing layer of the blockchain technology industry. , storage layer and related components, there are many representative projects in each matrix. In the process of exploring NFT, Metaverse, and DAO, the decentralization, security, and distributed incentives of Web3.0 are all playing a role, coupled with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, privacy computing, and security systems. We are not sure that Web 3.0 will come, but when you realize that it is coming, Web 4.0 will start.
