"We are about to enter the next phase of the Internet, where community-owned cryptonetworks will replace company-owned platforms as the dominating coordinators for the global digital economy, bringing people a more open, fairer, and more secure Web, so-called Web3," said Louis Liu, Founder of Octopus Network. "Web3 will impact each of our lives and careers in a positive way. But we need more people to push forward, to share what Web3 is all about and how it will benefit society as a whole.
