It starts with Bitcoin, the pioneering decentralized currency that enables peer-to-peer value transfer using distributed ledgers and cryptography. The lecture then explores Ethereum, a programmable "World Computer" that utilizes smart contracts to automate transactions, and discusses its evolution to Proof-of-Stake and Layer 2 scaling solutions. Finally, it delves into web3—the "Read, Write, Own" internet—where users control their data, enabling innovative applications (DApps) in areas like GameFi and DePIN that are building new economic paradigms. |
