The term “Web 3.0 or Web3” was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts and large tech companies. What is Web3? Simply put, it is a proposed upgrade to the World Wide Web that would make it more secure, private, and decentralized. Here are some of the top trends we can expect for Web3 in 2023:


1) Increased adoption of blockchain technology: Blockchain is a distributed database that allows for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. It has already been adopted by a number of industries including finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. We can expect to see even more businesses adopt blockchain in 2023 as they realize its benefits including increased security, efficiency, and transparency.


2) Growth of Decentralized Applications (DApps): DApps are applications that run on a decentralized network rather than a centralized server. This makes them more secure and resistant to censorship. We can expect to see an increase in the number of DApps being developed in 2023 as developers become more aware of their benefits.


3) Rise of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies: With increasing concerns over data privacy, we can expect to see a rise in the popularity of cryptocurrencies that focus on privacy such as Monero and Zcash. These currencies offer features such as confidential transactions that allow users to conceal the details of their transactions from prying eyes.


4) Increased use of smart contracts: Smart contracts are self-executing contracts that are stored on the blockchain. They allow for trustless transactions between parties and have many potential applications including contract enforcement, insurance claims processing, and voting systems. We can expect to see an increase in the use of smart contracts in 2023 as businesses start to realize their potential benefits.
