We are witnessing one of the largest transformations of wealth in human history—from paper-based analog assets to digital ones. Blockchain represents the first native digital medium for value, and is foundational to the next generation of the Internet—also known as Web3.

W3B explores how blockchain and Web3 are becoming the operating system of the next era of the digital age, enabling the digitization of all assets and the transformation of enterprises.

These are exciting and perilous times. If we all get this right, we will fundamentally change business and society for the better—transforming how we interact online, how we exchange value, and importantly, who gets to participate. If we get it wrong, this technology could become a tool for vested interests to gather wealth, data, and influence. Or, worse, it could become a platform for some new surveillance society.

So, rather than predicting a Web3 future, we’re advocating for one. We’re arguing it should succeed because it could help us usher in a new era of prosperity. We believe the economy works best when it works for everyone.
