This system rapidly outcompeted all proprietary networks and changed the world. In making this assertion, Wood was contrasting Web3 with the original internet protocol, whose ethos was perhaps best summed up by Jon Postel’s “ robustness principle”: “TCP implementations should follow a general principle of robustness: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.” This ethos became the foundation of a global decentralized computer network in which no one need be in charge as long as everyone did their best to follow the same protocols and was tolerant of deviations. Wood’s compact definition of Web3, as he put it in a recent Wired interview, is simple: “Less trust, more truth.” “Web3” as we think of it today was introduced in 2014 by Gavin Wood, one of the cocreators of Ethereum. Now people make the case that the next generation of the web will be based on crypto. He thought that the “Semantic Web” was going to be central to that evolution. The term Web 3.0 was used in 2006 by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, as a look forward to the next stage of the web beyond Web 2.0.
