Introduction to Web3.0
This is a repository of articles, documentation, podcasts, tutorials around Web3, blockchain development, ethereum, solidity and decentralised applications which I find helpful.
Web3
Web 2.0 vs Web 3.0
Web2 refers to the version of the internet most of us know today. An internet dominated by companies that provide services in exchange for your personal data. Web3, in the context of Ethereum, refers to decentralized apps that run on the blockchain. These are apps that allow anyone to participate without monetising their personal data.

Ethereum
Ether
Ether (ETH) is the cryptocurrency used for many things on the Ethereum network. Fundamentally, it is the only acceptable form of payment for transaction fees, and after The Merge, ether will be required to validate and propose blocks on Mainnet.
Wei is the smallest possible amount of ether, and as a result, many technical implementations, such as the Ethereum Yellowpaper, will base all calculations in Wei
1 Wei = 10^(-18) ETH
1 Gwei = 1 Giga Wei = 10^(-9) ETH
