How to Build in Web 3.0

Willie Wang on Crypto, Building Great User Experiences and More

Growth, Resilience & the Power of Creative Possibility

Web3 is the next evolution of the Internet. If Web 2.0 was about user-generated content and social media platforms, Web3 is about decentralized services powered by the blockchain. Smart contracts and NFTs are Web3 technologies that run on the blockchain.There’s also a lot of confusion about web3. For instance, do NFTs simply represent ownership of a digital asset or is there more to it than that? Also, what does blockchain, smart contracts and NFTs mean to your business? <h3>The Potential of Blockchain Technology</h3> The PwC “<a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/industries/technology/publications/blockchain-report-transform-business-economy.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Time for trust</a>” report found that blockchain technology could increase global GDP by $1.76 trillion by 2030.According to Lucy Gazmararian, Crypto and FinTech Advisory, PwC Hong Kong, “Blockchain has the potential to cut costs, speed up transactions and promote greater financial inclusion by streamlining cross-border and remittance payments. These powerful innovations will transform payments infrastructure.”For the latest of our Lohika Re:think online event series, we gathered a panel of women experts in Web3 and blockchain to discuss the current and future of these technologies. <h3>Panelists</h3><ol><li data-list="bullet"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindy-anne-lewis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cindy-Anne Lewis</a>, Global Head of Marketing at Capgemini Engineering and Lohika​</li><li data-list="bullet"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tegan-kline-17306b60/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Teagan Kline</a>, Co-Founder &amp; Head of Business at Edge &amp; Node​</li><li data-list="bullet"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/olgamack/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Olga Mack</a>​, Vice President, CEO at Parley Pro​</li><li data-list="bullet"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelsearustrum/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chelsea Rustrum​</a>, Founder of Blockchain for Good​</li><li data-list="bullet"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelleabbs/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michelle Abbs</a>​, Founder &amp; CEO at Web3 Equity ​</li><li data-list="bullet"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yasmineamorrison/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yasmine Morrison</a>, Early-stage Investor at Florida Funders</li><li data-list="bullet"> </li></ol> <h3>Discussion Points</h3><ol><li data-list="bullet">Terminology: Web3, blockchain, bitcoin, crypto, DeFi and distributed ledger technology (DLT).
