Abstract
ABSTRACT Web 3.0 builds on the foundations of Web 2.0, characterised by decentralisation and open‐sharing capabilities. This paper explores the diverse applications of Web 3.0, emphasises its potential to revolutionise e‐commerce by enhancing consumer engagement, facilitates public communication in social networking and improves the efficiency of information retrieval in mobile communications. Additionally, Web 3.0 applications extend to cultural, educational and medical fields. Despite its prospects and alignment with current technological trends, Web 3.0 faces developmental challenges that require collaborative efforts from both the government and the public. This research is aimed at providing an understanding of Web 3.0, which has the potential to better serve societal needs and improve overall quality of life.
