NOVEMBER 20224Blockchain, Web3, and cryptocurrency are slowly permeating our daily lives. A number of parts of the operations of financial institutions, governmental entities, and private companies already use or are getting ready to use blockchain technology. Retail and institutional users worldwide have adopted cryptocurrency assets far more broadly. The transition from Web2 to Web3 has already begun; the final phase will follow in due course.Unfortunately, these cutting-edge ideas and technologies are frequently treated in isolation, despite the enormous economic and societal value they offer. Web3, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies are all connected intricately. In light of this, it is crucial to comprehend how crucial a part crypto assets play in the blockchain and Web3 ecosystems and how they must be viewed as a 'transformative force' in our innovation economy. Cryptocurrencies have intrinsic worth and are far more than just a new financial class.The most recent and third internet generation, Web3, is based on blockchain technology. The early internet, known as Web1, debuted in the late 1980s and was limited to simple functions like information-displayable static web pages. Users could switch from being able to 'just read' to 'read and write' with the second edition, Web2. The importance of user-generated material and participation was heavily emphasised, but over time, digital behemoths that owned social media networks and cloud-based services transformed into 'data centres' and had control over the user-shared content.If blockchain technology is properly used in India, it can enhance government services and identity-based social development programmes. The central government has acknowledged the importance of creating blockchain technology, but the next step is to focus more on the possible uses for cryptocurrency that go beyond merely digital assets, which is just one of the use cases. A significant trend that is reshaping economies all around the world is cryptocurrency. The industry is positive that the policymakers will work together to formulate regulations enabling our economy to reap the full benefits the global crypto industry has to offer.Emmanuel Christi DasManaging EditorBlockchain Riding the Tide of Web 3.0EDITOR'S NOTEsiliconindia Vol 7 · Issue 8 - 1 · NOVEMBER - 2022 Publisher Alok Chaturvedi Managing Editor Emmanuel Christi Das Assistant Editor Heena Kousar Editorial Team Monica Pallavi J Hridkamal Roy Akankha Chak Sales & Marketing Deepika S.
