Web 3.0, also known as the "distributed Internet", is the next-generation version of the current Internet. It is a kind of internet of the future, where there is no centralized control, but it operates in a distributed fashion. Web3.0 will be a brand-new network architecture, which will reshape the future of the Internet. In this article, we will briefly introduce web3.0 and its technical principles.
1. What is Web3.0?
Web3.0 is the third development stage of the Internet, also known as "Semantic Web", which means "Semantic Web". It refers to the establishment of a new, open, content-based network architecture on the Internet, which allows people to interact with the network more freely, safely and efficiently. Web3.0 can be regarded as a super network, which will connect all objects, so that anyone can access the network everywhere at any time, and realize more intelligent interaction.
The most important feature of Web3.0 is decentralization, which means that it will no longer rely on centralized monopoly, but let users control their own data. This can not only better protect user privacy, but also avoid the risk of centralized institutions doing evil or going bankrupt.
2. Web3.0 Technology
The core technologies of Web3.0 include distributed ledger technology (DLT), blockchain, smart contracts, encryption algorithms, etc. These technologies play a decisive role in Web3.0, and together they form a new network architecture.
1. Distributed ledger technology (DLT)
Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is one of the foundational technologies of Web3.0. It refers to a distributed database technology that can store data dispersedly on different nodes, and each node has a complete copy of the data. Therefore, with the support of DLT technology, Web3.0 can realize decentralized data storage without relying on centralized institutions.
2. Blockchain
Blockchain is an open, decentralized ledger and an application of DLT technology. By using blockchain technology, Web3.0 can ensure that all records on the ledger are transparent and consistent. At the same time, the blockchain can also ensure that all data is immutable, thus preventing the risk of data tampering.
3. Smart contract
A smart contract is a code based on blockchain technology that can automatically execute the terms of the contract and can independently implement atomic operations. In Web3.0, smart contracts can be used to manage various complex transactions. For example, the Internet of Things connection can be realized on the blockchain, and the independent operation procedures of the equipment can be automatically executed through smart contracts.
4. Encryption algorithm
Encryption algorithm is an important guarantee for Web3.0 security. The encryption algorithms used by Web3.0 usually include asymmetric encryption, hash cryptography, proof mechanism, etc. These algorithms can guarantee the privacy of user identity and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data.
2. Operation
1. Install Web3.js
npm install web3
2. Create a wallet
const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3 = new Web3('https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your-project-id');
const account = web3.eth.accounts.create();
console.log('Address:', account.address);
console.log('Private key:', account.privateKey);
3. Transfer Ethereum
const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3 = new Web3('https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your-project-id');
const fromAddress = '0x123...';
const toAddress = '0x456...';
const amount = 1;
web3.eth.sendTransaction({
from: fromAddress,
to: toAddress,
value: web3.utils.toWei(amount.toString(), 'ether')
}).then((receipt) => {
console.log('Transaction receipt:', receipt);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error('Transaction error:', error);
});
4. Deploy the smart contract
const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3 = new Web3('https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your-project-id');
const contractABI = [
{
"constant": false,
"inputs": [
{
"name": "x",
"type": "uint256"
}
],
"name": "set",
"outputs": [],
"payable": false,
"stateMutability": "nonpayable",
"type": "function"
},
{
"constant": true,
"inputs": [],
"name": "get",
"outputs": [
{
"name": "",
"type": "uint256"
}
],
"payable": false,
"stateMutability": "view",
"type": "function"
}
];
const contractBytecode = '0x6080...';
const fromAddress = '0x123...';
const contract = new web3.eth.Contract(contractABI);
contract.deploy({
data: contractBytecode,
arguments: []
}).send({
from: fromAddress,
gas: 1500000,
gasPrice: '30000000000'
}).then((newContractInstance) => {
console.log('Contract deployed at address:', newContractInstance.options.address);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error('Contract deployment error:', error);
});
5. Monitor blockchain events
const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3 = new Web3('https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your-project-id');
const contractAddress = '0x123...';
const contractABI = [
{
"anonymous": false,
"inputs": [
{
"indexed": false,
"name": "value",
"type": "uint256"
}
],
"name": "ValueChanged",
"type": "event"
}
];
const contract = new web3.eth.Contract(contractABI, contractAddress);
contract.events.ValueChanged({
fromBlock: 0
}).on('data', (event) => {
console.log('Event received:', event);
}).on('error', (error) => {
console.error('Event error:', error);
});
3. Future development of Web3.0
Web3.0 technology has a wide range of applications and can be applied to various fields, especially in digital currency, finance, medical care, Internet of Things and other fields. It will bring people a freer, safer and more efficient network environment.
The development of Web3.0 also requires more technology development and application. At present, major technology companies and financial institutions around the world are stepping up research and development and trying the application of Web3.0 technology. Domestic Internet companies are also actively deploying Web3.0. In this new Internet era, fierce competition and new opportunities are waiting for us.
In short, the arrival of Web3.0 will bring about a complete change of the Internet. It will reshape the future of the Internet and make the whole society more open, transparent and autonomous. Web3.0 is a brand-new network architecture that will allow us to see a completely different future of the Internet.
