Dev Meeting 003: Web3 Primer

Key Takeaways

Web1 = read, Web2 = write, Web3 = own. Each era redefines user interaction.
Web3 enables value exchange without intermediaries and creator-owned content.
Companies are already adopting Web3 elements like digital ownership into products.

At MusicTech Lab, we keep an eye on how technology reshapes creative industries. In early 2023, Web3 was one of the biggest conversations in tech. We invited Maciej Nowak — marketer and Web3 podcast host — to walk us through the fundamentals.

This post is a summary of an internal dev meeting. For Maciej's full takes on Web3, check out his podcast.

The Evolution of the Web

Web1 — READ
Static company websites. Content served to the user. One-way information flow.
Web2 — WRITE
Social media, SaaS platforms. Users actively co-create content — but platforms own the data.
Web3 — OWN
Value exchange without intermediaries. Creators retain rights to their content. New forms of applications and digital ownership.
