Web 3 presents a paradigm shift in our internet architecture. It leverages blockchain technology to create a decentralized and user-focused internet experience. Yorke Rodes, co-founder of blockchain at Microsoft, said that the digital space is filled with a lot of information, and it is impossible to distinguish fake from real. While citing "Crypto Twitter," Mr Yorke revealed that it is practically impossible for beginners to make an informed decision from all the information presented.
While the Web 3 industry is experiencing massive growth and creating great opportunities for people to build wealth, only a few of the global population understand the concept of Web 3. According to a Chainlink report, the adoption of Web 3 is on course to hit one billion users by 2031. For the projection by Chainlink to become a reality, there needs to be a repertoire of Web3 education resources available for new users entering the space.
The question is, how can new users have access to the right and expert-verified educational resources in Web 3? With a lot of information overflowing the Web 3 space daily, it becomes difficult for new users to separate the "grain” from the "chaff."
Why Education Resources for Web3?
Making Web 3 universally appealing requires simplifying its complex nature to entice new users. This is a call for the Web 3 education revolution to make it accessible to everyone, irrespective of their background in tech. When a beginner wants to know about the concept of Web 3 and what it entails, the person's first point of call is to seek educational resources on the topic. Failure to find the right Web3 education resources will most likely discourage the individual from going further.
We can't onboard the next billion users in Web 3 without having quality education resources for new users and beginners alike. While the Web 3 space still needs more quality platforms and communities providing education resources for new users, few are doing wonderfully well in the industry.
