This seminar will cover technologies and applications of the third generation of the world wide web. Initially, the web was an information economy where users primarily consumed information from limited providers such as newspapers and company home pages. With the advent of interactive services, the web evolved into a social medium where users became information producers through platforms like Google, Amazon, and Facebook. This phase is known as the platform economy.
Currently, we are moving into the third generation of the web, referred to as Web3. This phase is characterized by new technologies such as blockchain, distributed ledgers, self-sovereign identity, and decentralized data management, which are reshaping how assets are managed online.
The seminar will include discussions on:
- Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT)
- Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)
- Interplanetary File System (IPFS)
- Web3 Applications: Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin), Tokenization, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Digital Product Passes
- Applications of Web3 Technologies in Gaming and the Metaverse
We invite you to join us in examining these advanced technologies and their applications. The seminar aims to provide insights into emerging trends and developments in the Web3 space.
