The world is evolving every day, and to be a part of it, one must change with it. Two decades ago, the internet transitioned from a stage where we could only consume content to one where we could also contribute by creating content as well as interact with one another.

Yet again, an evolution is happening; we are developing to the point where the majority of technologies will be based on this new stage, web3.

The internet as we have it now is predominantly operated on web2 platforms such as the ones in our everyday lives, like social media platforms like Facebook, X, and Instagram. Web2 is what we are used to seeing around, but there are certain limitations that are not exactly apparent as web2 is what we have known for the longest time.

The phrase "don't put all your eggs in one basket" is relevant in the context of the internet. Web2 platforms, like the ones we are used to, have centralised bodies that control them. What that implies is that our data is stored with them, and they have control over it. It is why anything can happen to our data at anytime, like having changes on your accounts that were not done by you.

Another drawback of centralised entities having power in their hands is that they are also vulnerable to breaches, and that's why the term "hacked" is very common on conventional social media platforms.

Web3, on the other hand, represents a paradigm shift towards a more decentralised internet. On web3 platforms, users have total ownership over their data and assets.

Decentralisation, as opposed to centralised networks, simply means that you have the data stored and processed by anonymous nodes in a network, thereby taking away that central control. Facilitated by blockchain technology, it makes it more secure and transparent.

Web3 extends beyond just security and true financial ownership. It fosters a more inclusive community and economy. Decentralised finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a few examples of how web3 is changing the narrative of various aspects of our day-to-day lives, like art, gaming, and finance.

And speaking about inclusive communities and economies, web3 makes tokenization very seamless in the absence of "middlemen." With the tokenization possibility on web3, one can simply incentivize people, like community members, directly in a safe and secure manner—and pretty fast as well.

Fast transactions and secure wallets are two of the strong suits of web3 platforms like @inleoio. And it allows for various facilities to be built upon them, like play-to-earn games, reward pools, and efficient data storage that is immutable.

True ownership should be imperative to anyone who values their data, privacy, and autonomy. Our everyday lives, endeavours, and learnings are content in this age and time, and you'd prefer for them to answer to you and you alone. Platforms like @inleoio provide you with an experience that's conventional and similar to what you're used to on web2, but with the brain and systems of web3.

- There's a community for every niche, and even all-inclusive ones for the "nicheless and thriving" ones of us.

- There's no one in charge but you. You own everything that's rightly yours—your wallet and content. You have your own voice and freedom.

- Experience things that you used to already, like microblogging (short-form content like tweets).
