Leveraging the Power of Web 3.0
Web 3.0 is set to revolutionize the internet, bringing unprecedented changes in how we interact, transact, and build online communities. Unlike Web 1.0’s static information sharing and Web 2.0’s social connectivity, Web 3.0 focuses on decentralization, giving users greater control over their data and digital assets.
This module provides a comprehensive introduction to Web 3.0, covering key concepts like blockchain technology, decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and the token economy. Participants will explore how these innovations are reshaping industries such as finance, healthcare, and entertainment, offering new opportunities and challenges.
Through real-world case studies and interactive discussions, the course will equip participants with practical skills to leverage Web 3.0 in their careers. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, tech professional, or business leader, this module will help you understand and harness the growth potential of Web 3.0. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to build your resume and qualifications to thrive in this emerging digital landscape.
