Web3 is a proposed vision for the future of the internet that is restructured to be more user-centric with an emphasis on decentralized data. Users would own and manage their personal data, and systems would be decentralized and distributed. Digital tokens would be used to represent assets, and web-native currencies (e.g., cryptocurrencies) would be used for payments. This document provides a high-level technical overview of Web3 and discusses proposed technologies to implement it. The integration of these developing technologies may present novel security challenges, so this paper presents security considerations that should be addressed when considering Web3 technology and adoption.
