Welcome to our Web3 UX Design Principles series! Let's kick off with an introduction to the evolution of the web:
Web 1.0: Static pages and content served from the server’s file system. It was a read-only web with minimal user interaction.
Web 2.0: Brought user-generated content, usability, and interoperability. Think social media, blogs, and interactive websites.
Web 3.0: Now, we're talking about a decentralized web where data is shared, not owned. It’s the era of blockchain, AI, and more personalized user experiences.
Understanding this evolution helps us design better user experiences in the decentralized world. What feature of Web 3.0 do you think will have the biggest impact on user experience?🤔
