In a conversation with Cointelegraph during the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2022, Polkadot (DOT) founder Gavin Wood spoke about the evolution of Web3. According to Wood, Web3 applications don’t have the need to evolve past their current usage:
“I don’t think Web3 needs to evolve, really, from its origins too much yet but maybe in the future, it will.”
Furthermore, Wood explained how Web3 pushed the conversation beyond Bitcoin (BTC), smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi) into the underlying technology that powers the world of crypto.
