The benefits and drawbacks of NFTs
Web3 is not as accessible or ubiquitous as it might sound
- Large chunks of Web3 experiences are still built on open-web technologies, and you can access them through a good ol’ browser
- In today's world (our not-quite-Web3 society), when we type out a website's address, we rely on our browsers to handle all the complex back-end stuff and take us to our destination in cyberspace.

Essential Web3 concepts
- Wallet: Your cryptocurrency wallet where you store different tokens such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Matic
- dApps: Decentralized applications running on blockchain-based protocols
- Blockchain: A decentralized protocol for Web3 projects
- Smart contracts: Snippets of programs on blockchain that execute when terms of the agreement are met
- IPFS: The InterPlanetary File System
- Non-custodial wallet: The service provider/browser doesn't store keys to your wallet. You have to remember your 12-word secret phrase to restore your wallet on another device.

History of browsers and Web3
- A browser is just a window to the internet. You only have to store a minimum amount of data and do minimal processing on your computer to access websites and apps
- In 2015, the team at the Ethereum foundation tried to build a browser called Mist. It was just a shell based on Electron
- The problem with Mist was that it was running a full node in a blockchain, so when you started the browser, it needed to synchronize all the block data that was created while you were offline.

The current set of browsers
- Modern browsers are able to handle Web3 applications, but you might have to do some legwork to access them
- There are a few browsers like Opera and Brave that offer a somewhat native Web3 experience with in-built wallets and Web3-based domain name support
- Both of them have this experience available on mobile and desktop.
- Privacy-focused Brave browser offers a slightly different experience. It doesn’t have a dedicated crypto browser or a content hub, but it has a cryptocurrency wallet.

Challenges in Building for Web3
- One of the biggest challenges while accessing Web3 properties is that you should know what tokens you’re using, and what blockchain protocol a particular app runs on.
- There's an issue of security as well. In Web3's nascent state, many bad actors use phishing to lure users to fraudulent websites, and steal their assets.
- Brave is trying to bridge this gap by slowly integrating more standards on the browser itself, so you don’t have to worry about what's on the backend.

The Way Ahead
- Accessing Web3 properties is complicated, and the average user has a steep learning curve
- Modern browsers, and standards like universal profiles, will need to work in tandem to make all of this simpler
- A world where a user doesn't have to worry about the backend protocol and where Web3 is just... the web

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
