An evolved, user-owned web where you have access to the world in a way only you control.
Access the markets, aka DeFi
Web3 commonly get mixed up with DeFi, however, while you should be able to access any decentralized website or network, access to DeFi to manage your money is critical as well.
NFT's... Anywhere
You should be able to access your favorite NFT's anywhere, any time, any place. They are yours and no one should be able to tell you otherwise.
Access any decentralized or P2P network
The basics of Web3 is the sum of all the open networks and ecosystems. You should be able to access and visit any of these places. You can compare this to accessing things on Google, Facebook, Apple, or other networks/platforms that are generally walled gardens in the current web system.
Publish Freely
A core tenant of Web3 is censorship-resistance. You should be able to freely post controversial (or even things others just don't want to hear) information, such as news, blogging, or video. You should be allowed to openly debate, educate, inform, or entertain without getting "de-platformed".
Socialize and Discover Freely
While you have the ability to post, you should also have the ability to read.
Own your web. Own your identity.
You should be able to have your private data be and stay private unless you choose otherwise. This is achieved with your online web3 account, which serves as your identity and means of encrypting everything you do. If you want to share you can, but your data is yours, no one else's.
Community-Powered
Your Web, Your Rules
In summary, Web3 is about what you want to do, post, read, play, chat, or interact without others saying otherwise. It is about freedom of speech and freedom of economy.
Web3 is Community
Re-defining Web3, for the users
Web3 was a term first defined by Gavin Wood when the Ethereum network was starting out. He defined it as a "decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain".
However, we view it as much more than that, and definitely more than access to DeFi. We see a ton of more potential to what Web3 as an ideal can evolve to, and are setting out to make it a reality.
To those that see Web3 as DeFi, we ask this: Do you go on your web browser to access TradingView or other market tools as your homepage, or do you go check your social media, email, and news sites, as well as your money?
Blockchain itself is more than just money, and so is Web3, and by extension P2P networks.
So help us in our goals to level-up Web3.
