Web2 vs Web3 - Why businesses and users should be ready for this transformation

Web3 isn’t just a buzzword. It represents the future of the internet, where decentralisation, security, transparency, and efficiency are at the core. As we move further into this new era, businesses and users alike should prepare for the transformative changes Web3 brings.

Let’s take a closer look at why Web3 offers significant advantages compared to Web2.

Web 2’s Centralised Networks vs Web 3’s Decentralisation

Web2 operates on centralised networks where every online transaction, data sharing, or service is mediated by trusted third parties. This leaves users reliant on centralised entities for access, security, and trust.

In contrast, Web3 utilises decentralised networks that empower users with control over their data, transactions, and identities. With Web3, there's no central authority, allowing for greater transparency, trust, and user autonomy.

Web 2’s Basic Interoperability vs Web3’s Increased Interoperability


Web2’s lack of seamless integration between platforms creates user friction—multiple logins, inconsistent user experiences, and irrelevant marketing.

Web3 offers a unified, interoperable ecosystem, where users can move seamlessly between decentralised applications (dApps), interacting with different services without losing privacy or control. Web3 promotes cross-chain compatibility and decentralised identity management, enhancing the user experience and providing greater freedom.

Web 2’s Control of Personal Data vs Web3’s Freedom

Web2 has often raised concerns about how personal data is used. Every click, search, and transaction is tracked and monetised by centralised platforms.

With Web3, control shifts back to the users. Decentralised identifiers (DIDs) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) enable users to decide who gets access to their data, for how long, and for what purpose. Web3 empowers individuals to manage their digital footprints without relying on corporate entities.

Web2’s Outdated Business Models vs Web3’s New Business Models and Opportunities

Web2 revolutionised the internet, but it is increasingly being viewed as an outdated framework for the modern, decentralised world. Web2 platforms are typically built on advertising models, where user data is monetised.

With Web3, businesses have new opportunities to innovate. Web3 introduces tokenomics, decentralised finance (DeFi), and NFTs, offering businesses new revenue streams, ownership models, and ways to engage users. For example, Web3’s decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) allow businesses to rethink how they govern and share value, providing users with a more direct stake in the success of the platforms they engage with.

    A Cryptodraft offers users the ability to take out a line of credit to spend, without selling their assets. They can borrow up to 60% of their collateral value, with the first 10% LTV interest-free.

    On the other hand, a Stableloan offers a fixed-term loan in which users can borrow up to 50% of their collateral value for 6, 12, 18 or 24 months. Users can decide how much they want to borrow and for how long and will know how much interest to pay before taking one out, meaning no hidden fees or extra charges.
