“I need a Web3 developer” has become a frequent statement made by startup founders. It’s an interesting statement because when you ask them the follow up question, “What do you mean?,” they often don’t know. The focus on “Web3” has been caused by the current hype around the blockchain and digital asset ecosystem. Immense amounts of capital have poured into anything “blockchain”, “crypto”, or “Web3” branded. All of these terms have technical meanings, but they are often used interchangeably. We learned that blockchains are a type of distributed ledger, and crypto is a general term for assets tracked on a blockchain; but Web3 still lacks a clear definition. In order to define it we must look at the terms that preceded it. If today we are talking about Web3, then there must have been a Web1 and 2, which there were.
