Web 3.0, also called the Semantic Web, is about making data on the internet machine-readable and interconnected.

In another, more popular sense, Web3 also refers to a decentralized web built on blockchain technology, where ownership, privacy, and digital assets (NFTs, cryptocurrencies, DAOs) play a central role.
