Web 3.0 is surrounding us quicker than we realize. Transforming the tech infrastructure, it is creating a secure network whereby information is decentralized, and users have greater control over their data.
Looking to its predecessors for inspiration, Web 1.0 enabled users to share information globally in the static page format. Web 2.0 has facilitated social networking, user-generated content sharing and cloud computing whilst Web 3.0 will be equipped with the benefits of Web 2.0 but will enhance it further by increasing transparency and personalization.
Web 3.0 will empower a more connected and intelligent world for the tech ecosystem both socially and professionally by enabling Internet of Things (IoT) driven smart homes and workplaces and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) driven businesses.
Web 3.0 is set to transform the way individuals, businesses, and regulatory organizations collaborate and work together and will benefit them in many ways:
- Data and Procedural Security: Web 3.0 operates on blockchain technology, which is known for its transparency, documentation, and accessibility. The underlying distributed ledger system tracks transactions accurately and imparts state-of-the-art security to safeguard financial services delivery systems.
- Accessibility: By making it easier to validate customer credentials anytime across the world, Web 3.0 will expedite businesses involved in activities like lending and BNPL (buy now pay later).
- User Control: Decentralized networks ensure end-users always have complete ownership and control over their online data, ensuring quality customer engagement and consistent loyalty.
- Speed with Accuracy: Web 3.0 uses AI, IoT, and ML to automate complex processes like analyzing market trends, mapping, and allocating resources to effectively address evolving customer needs and expectations. For businesses and service providers, these provide actionable insights to capitalize upon.[HS1]
- Uninterrupted Service: The data will be stored on distributed nodes which means Web 3.0 will significantly reduce issues arising from central server failures. For fintech organizations, this will also reduce the cost of managing computational architecture.
How to succeed with Web3.0?
Web 3.0 is a vision of the future, capable of streamlining fintech bank partnerships, and processes and producing outcomes to benefit financial services ecosystem members including regulators, businesses, and end customers. With competition in the marketplace soaring, Web 3.0 is likely to see massive adoption globally.
