Digital Editor, New York

What are the fundamentals of Web3? Digital technologies such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have been gaining a lot of traction in recent years, but the use cases, applications, and adoption across industries still remain to be seen. In a new article, Matt Higginson and his coauthors break down the basics of Web3: what it is, how it is built, what it can and cannot do, the risks, and implications for stakeholders. Be in the know and understand the core features of this new digital wave—and the potential disruption it could bring.
