Welcome to Web3: A Multi-Level Introduction to the Decentralized Internet Demystify the next generation of the internet with this comprehensive, PhD-level textbook designed for readers at every stage of their Web3 journey. Whether you're a newcomer curious about blockchain's promise or an expert researching the frontiers of decentralized governance, this book meets you where you are-and takes you where you want to go. Multi-Audience Structure Beginner: Clear, real-world analogies introduce core concepts-what is Web3, how blockchains work, and why decentralization matters. Intermediate: Hands-on guides and practical walkthroughs show you how to write smart contracts, deploy dApps, and navigate DeFi protocols. Advanced Professional: Deep dives into consensus algorithms, cryptographic proofs, and system-architecture trade-offs help you optimize production-grade networks. Researcher: Cutting-edge scholarship and open problems-ranging from quantum-resistant cryptography to socio-technical governance models-fuel your own investigations. Interdisciplinary Insights Explore blockchain through economic models, legal frameworks, and philosophical lenses. Learn how Self-Sovereign Identity, Soulbound Tokens, and digital inheritance reshape how we think about ownership, legacy, and trust. Rich Case Studies & Exercises Analyze real-world protocols-Bitcoin, Ethereum, Uniswap, MakerDAO, and more-through rigorous mathematical formulations and hands-on code samples in Python and Solidity. End-of-chapter exercises reinforce learning and spark critical discussion. Historical & Philosophical Context Trace the evolution from Web 1.0's static pages to Web2's centralized platforms and onward to Web3's promise of a user-powered, trustless internet. Delve into the cypherpunk roots, the philosophy of decentralization, and Dr. Justin Goldston's seminal research in Web3 Systems Thinking and AI-augmented governance. By the final chapter, you'll not only understand how decentralized networks function-you'll grasp the profound societal implications of a world where communities govern themselves through transparent code. Welcome to the decentralized frontier. Your journey starts here.
