- The metaverse is social infrastructure, not a place. Shared 3D collaborative spaces — the sum of every digital world combined, not one company’s product.
- Web evolution: e-commerce to AI-driven networks. Web 1.0 was desktop and e-commerce; Web 2.0 added social and mobile; Web 3.0 is AI-driven, decentralised, and edge-computed.
- Value creation online keeps compounding. From ~$1.1T in the early-internet era to ~$5.9T by the time of Facebook, Airbnb and Uber — and still climbing.
- NFTs are the metaverse’s actual revenue model. Not collectibles — the mechanism that moves value inside virtual worlds, including as real utility within the Cardano ecosystem.
The Metaverse, Web 3 & NFTs as Real Utilities
A short talk on Web 3, given at Cardano Summit 2021 — how NFTs work as real utilities inside the Cardano ecosystem, not just collectibles.
