Twitter’s founder admits that shutting down the API was “Worst thing we did”: it affected users and developers  
Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and CEO until recently, has been highly active this week on the social network, but not about it, but about the future of the web. Dorsey has criticized the idea that web3 will be decentralized (as opposed to Web 2.0, which was centralized in the hands of large platforms and social networks), claiming that we do not own web3.

frontend smart contract  
In this tutorial I will show you step-by-step how to create your first front-end to interact with a smart contract deployed at RSK local network. I will use only JavaScript and HTML and connected to a wallet using a web3 provider. We will use VSCode to create and deploy our project.

The Best Web3 Resources—Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, NFTs, DAOs, and the Metaverse  
Web3 could have paradigm-shifting implications for how we build the next generation of the internet. The moonshot dream of the web3 community is to build a decentralized alternative to the current internet infrastructure that we rely on. The rise of the so-called "creator economy" in web3 has led to an explosion of innovation across many creative industries.

My roadmap in web 3  
A Web 3.0 from september 24, of 2021\. I got curious about the term from the hype on twitter but it was more hype than truly helpful information. I decided to investigate and learn about blockchain, crypto, smart contracts and decentralized apps (dapps) The following lists express the order of my learning process.

Set Up Web3 in Your React App  
This is a quick guide for setting up web3 in your React application. We will be creating a minting website that authenticates a user’s wallet and allows them to mint an NFT. You will be able to take advantage of decentralized identity in your application based on the wallet address e.g., .ETH domain name and later on NFT profile pictures.

Create a Blockchain Game With Solidity, Web3, and Vue.js  
Build a decentralized game using Ethereum public blockchain using Solidity, Web3, and Vue.js. We will focus more on the frontend side in the next part, but first, I will give a brief explanation about the Solidity side and how to deploy it to Rinkeby testnet. You need to install MetaMask and enable the extensions in Chrome.

Is web3 bullshit?  
Web3 is a vision of a decentralized, user-owned internet built on the blockchain. Elon Musk and Stephen Diehl are among the most vocal critics of the idea. Read Max is a newsletter about the future, appearing on a Thursday due to a series of sitcom-level mishaps.

WTF is .xyz? – TechCrunch  
.xyz is one of the top five top-level domains (TLDs) in the world by traffic, according to the company’s own DNS data. It was created to “provide users around the world competition and choice when it comes to their domain name,” and is “the first truly generic domain extension with no inherent meaning,’ CEO Daniel Negari said.

I created a Web3 app and here's what I learned.  
Web3 is a decentralized app system that uses smart contracts to make it easier to build apps. The code is written in Solidity and the language is similar to C++/Java with a little Javascript thrown in there. A smart contract is simply a program with executable code that lives at a specific address on the blockchain.

Brave partners with Solana to integrate it into the browser and make it the default for DApp support  
Brave will integrate the Solana blockchain into the Brave browser, providing default Solana ecosystem support to Brave’s 42 million monthly active users and 1.3 million verified Creators. Brave will soon default to Solana for cross-chain and Solana native DApps. Solana will also enable the implementation of the Themis protocol developed by Brave.

The Ultimate Guide to Web 3.0  
Web 3.0 is the next step in the web's growth, and it aims to make the internet more intelligent. The semantic web enhances online technologies by allowing users to create, share, and connect content via search and analysis based on the ability to understand the meaning of words rather than numbers.

Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey are right to raise concerns about Web3  
Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have put the brakes on the momentum around Web3\. Dorsey says that Web3 is ultimately a centralized entity, while Musk has implied that it’s driven by hype over substance. Some advocates envision a democratized internet that harks back to the halcyon days of cyberspace.

The Web3 Fraud  
Web3 is only about adding an additional layer of complexity in the name of justifying the underlying cryptocurrencies. The web browser is augmented with a cryptocurrency wallet and part of the computation and storage is shifted from my server to the decentralized cryptocurrency infrastructure. When a user wants to use my service they will pay some amount of cryptocurrency to perform the cryptocurrency-side computation.
