Aims
Today, Web3 has become a catchall term representing the vision of a brand new and better Internet. The core of Web3 is to employ blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs to return power to users in the form of ownership. The global capital markets, developers, and users are showing unprecedented enthusiasm for the progress of the fundamental technologies and applications of the next-generation Internet represented by Web3.
We believe that, by the very nature of Web3, each user can control and even own the Internet content they create, leading to the development of a new generation of Internet of Value. Web3.0 will create new economies, new product categories, and new online services, return democracy to the web and define the next era of the Internet. Additionally, the experiments of Web3 protocol in economic design, incentive adjustment, and governance will affect not only the Internet but also the "real world".
Through the Tokyo Web3 Summer Hackathon held from July to September 2022, we hope to continue to rely on Japan's preferential policies and resources in the Web3 industry, identify early-stage quality projects around the world, and help and support them with funding, resources, and talents to build the future of Web3.
