Session 5: Workshop - Web 3.0 & me

The original tenets of the internet, at its inception, were rooted in decentralization: a bottoms-up network powered by open-source software and the transparent, trust-less dissemination of information. Over the past ~15 years, we've seen this paradigm flipped on it's head entirely through a seismic consolidation of power toward centralized, rent-seeking platforms. Now, blockchain technology gives us tools to break down the walled gardens built by these institutions, enabling us to build a new internet — one that is permissionless, transparent, composable, and owned by those who build and use it. In this session, we'll cover key subsegments of the crypto/web3 industry, regulatory trends, and cutting edge technological breakthroughs that will ultimately enable us to make good on the original promise of the internet
