Distributed ledgers, blockchain, NFTs and cryptocurrency are the new languages underpinning what many see as the future for developers keen to forge a cutting-edge position. While the number of Web3 developers is comparatively lower than Web 2.0 developers, research suggests we’re on the cusp of an explosion, with 350,000 active developers using one blockchain development platform in 2021.
The Web3 future looks bright for many reasons. It heralds the realization of decentralized applications (dapps) that represent a return to the ideals of a publicly owned internet and a direct challenge to Web 2.0’s emergence as an ecosystem of corporate behemoths.
Using blockchain and peer-to-peer technologies, Web3 dapps are not like today’s apps, hosted on corporate-owned services and single cloud providers. Dapps are often open source and, as such, appeal to ambitious developers as a place to innovate and collaborate quickly (and often anonymously) within a flat structure where everyone is rewarded.
Think of Web3, which embraces testing in production, as the Lego of the developer world, where iterations and improvements are built on top of each other. For Web3 developers keen to witness the fruits of their labor quickly, this way of working strengthens their abilities to iterate products and innovate fast.
