What is a Web3 browser and how does it work?

A software program called a web service enables computer-to-computer communication over the internet. However, web services are nothing new and typically take the form of an application programming interface (API). The Web is a collection of related hypertext materials that may be accessed online. For example, a user examines web pages that may contain multimedia using a web browser and uses hyperlinks to move between them.

Tim Berners-Lee, who was employed by CERN, The European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland, invented the Web in 1989. Since then, Berners-Lee has actively directed the development of web standards and has pushed for the creation of the Semantic Web, also called Web3.

The phrase “Web3” is used to characterize multiple evolutions of web interaction and usage along various paths, including creating a geospatial web, utilizing artificial intelligence tools and making content available through numerous non-browser apps or Web3 browsers. A Web3 browser introduces users to a new world of decentralized apps (DApps) and digital economies.

This article will discuss Web3 fundamentals, key features of a Web3 browser, how a Web3 browser works and how to use one.

What is a Web3 browser?

Web3 browsers help users interact with decentralized applications built on blockchain technology. Web3 technologies like distributed ledgers, artificial intelligence, Metaverse and others aim to create the next-generation internet, which is accessible to everyone and offers benefits.

READ ALSO

The key technologies that power the MetaverseKey features of a Web3 browser include:

• Immutable ecosystem, i.e., trust that people will download the digital product just as the original creator intended.
• Enhanced transparency and security,
• Quicker browsing performance,
• Complete user anonymity and confidentiality,
• Integrating cryptocurrency wallets with multiple blockchains,
• Complete control over the content due to decentralization.

Furthermore, search engines can find microcontent texts automatically tagged in Web3, calling for converting countless macro Web1 content into microcontent. Because tagging can somewhat eliminate the uncertainty that homonyms and synonyms introduce to the search process, the end result may be a more accurate search.

How does a Web3 browser work?

The world of DApps and digital economies is made available by Web3 internet browsers. By leveraging cryptography and public blockchains, the Web3 browser places control with users, wiping out centralized institutions. Additionally, consumers are rewarded financially for interacting with content or viewing carefully selected adverts on decentralized social media platforms and Web3 browsers.

But, how do Web3 browsers change the online experience? Web3 browsers enable users to use the standard functionality of browsers. They are essentially decentralized applications that allow users to retain ownership of their data and share its revenue. So, is Chrome a Web3 browser? No, Chrome is a Web2 browser like Firefox and Safari. However, users can access Web3 applications with Web2 browsers using a Web3 wallet like MetaMask.

How to use a Web3 browser?

The Web3 wallets can be incorporated into traditional web browsers, providing DApp browser functionality by allowing flexible access to decentralized applications without the assistance of other intermediaries while still maintaining full ownership of their assets. In addition, users can access the Web3 economy without going through any Know Your Customer (KYC) or Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures.

Moreover, crypto assets can be stored and managed effectively using Web3 wallets. However, if one loses their seed phrase, they may lose funds, unlike centralized custodial wallets. So, which Web3 browser would be suitable for your requirements? Let’s learn about various Web3 internet browsers in the sections below.

Opera Web3 browser

Both crypto-curious and blockchain-savvy users may enjoy a seamless, private and secure Web3 experience with Opera Crypto Browser with features such as phishing protection, a secure clipboard, a malicious-address checker and the Wallet Selector, the industry’s first multi-wallet management tool. Ether (ETH), ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens are supported by the built-in crypto wallet and several blockchains, including Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains, Bitcoin and layer-2 solutions. Additionally, Opera has a strong partner network with partners like Solana or Polygon across the crypto ecosystem.

Furthermore, users can quickly access WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Twitter and more social apps in the sidebar of the desktop Crypto Browser to stay connected to their communities at all times. In addition, users may access future airdrops, industry updates and event calendars, gas costs, instructional content and others through the integrated Crypto Corner.

If you are interested in using the Opera Web3 browser, you must first download the Opera Crypto Browser for Android, Windows, or Mac (iOS coming soon). Then, if you already have a wallet, you can use it or create an Opera wallet to utilize the functionalities mentioned above.

Puma Web3 browser

Ukrainian-Canadian developer Yuriy Dybskiy founded Puma Browser in January 2019. It provides access to Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Handshake (HNS) domains and InterPlanetaryFileSystem (IPFS), as well as seamless payments for content creators, app and game developers via Coil Content Network and Interledger Protocol. Using the Puma browser, web monetization works as follows:

• A monthly charge of $5 is paid by Coil Members to access the content created by the users.
• Interested users set up a digital wallet and make money from their content. Every hour a Coil Member spends viewing users’ content earns them $0.36 from Coil.
• While Coil Members enjoy users’ content, Coil streams funds to their wallets.

Brave Web3 browser

Brave is open-source software that offers privacy-preserving features together with a free-to-use business model. It enhances users’ browser super app with cost-free video calls, fully autonomous search, offline playlists and even a personalized news feed. Brave, by default, bans trackers and obscene advertisements on all websites users visit. Moreover, Brave’s brand-new nonfungible token (NFT) gallery feature provides users with a streamlined interface for viewing and managing NFT collections.

Another notable feature of the Brave Web3 browser is the incorporation of IPFS functionality, which enables built-in decentralized file storage and reduces data concentration by distributing file storage across a worldwide network.

Beaker browser

Beaker browser allows peer-to-peer website hosting, referred to as Hyperdrives, in a private mode. Only those with the link to a Hyperdrive can access the website once it has been created. To create hostless applications, the Beaker browser offers new APIs while still being compatible with the rest of the Web.

Beaker displays the complete site’s structure in a GitHub-like format, in contrast to most browsers showing the page’s source code to the website visitors. Even better, one can host their own fork of the website.

Osiris browser

The first net-neutral browser in the world, Osiris hopes to release people from commercialism, the shackles of censorship and bias that have crept into the internet. Osiris asserts that it is a blockchain-based browser that, by default, bans all commercials and trackers and states baldly that it is self-sustaining without advertising money.

With Osiris Armor, users can configure privacy settings and view the number of advertising and scripts that have already been banned. In addition, it offers a multi-wallet called Metawallet that embeds a wallet in the browser and supports several cryptocurrencies to enhance the Web3 experience for blockchain users.

The future of Web3 browsers

Web platforms have long been without the capability of money transfer, resulting in a deluge of internet advertising and dishonest business practices. As the Semantic Web (Web3) promises to arrange the world’s information in a way that Google’s search engine architecture cannot achieve, it enables web monetization opportunities for developers, gamers, and content creators. Web monetization offers an effective, free, native and automatic means of paying creators, funding essential web infrastructure and supporting API calls.

Although Google Chrome is the most used Web2 browser and DApps can be accessed via Web3 wallets, blockchain-friendly web browsers allow users to control their data, funds and assets without intermediaries. Therefore the shift towards decentralized web calls for novel and innovative solutions to enhance the user experience, and Web3 browsers acting as a gateway to DApps are essential to access the digital economy.

Despite the fact that there are still many unexplored areas of the Semantic Web and a lot of research to be done, it is evident that Web3 technologies are becoming a significant force in the current Web landscape. And it is expected that Web3 browsers (both existing and upcoming ones) will continue to offer distinct services to serve the needs of blockchain users.

Top Stories This Week

Breaking: Google taps Coinbase to bring crypto payments to cloud services

Starting in early 2023, Coinbase’s payment service, Coinbase Commerce, will facilitate crypto payments for customers purchasing Google’s cloud services thanks to a deal between the two companies. Google will only allow certain crypto assets for payment, including Bitcoin. Initially limited to certain participants, the option to pay with crypto will eventually be expanded to other customers, an executive at Google Cloud told CNBC. Google Cloud has taken several other steps toward crypto and blockchain industry involvement in 2022.

BNY Mellon, America’s oldest bank, launches crypto services****

Banking giant BNY Mellon has entered the crypto custody field, offering certain customers Bitcoin and Ether custody services via a new platform. The 238-year-old bank will provide bookkeeping for clients’ crypto in a similar fashion as it does for traditional assets, while also handling clients’ private keys. BNY Mellon’s CEO of securities services and digital, Roman Regelman, said: “With Digital Asset Custody, we continue our journey of trust and innovation into the evolving digital assets space, while embracing leading technology and collaborating with fintechs.”

[SEC rejects WisdomTree’s application for a spot Bitcoin ETF… again](https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-rejects-wisdomtree-s-application-for-a-spot-bitcoin-etf-again)

Following multiple delays, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has denied WisdomTree’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposal, which the firm filed in January. The SEC cited fears of market manipulation and fraud as the rationale for its decision, which is consistent with its previous rationale for denying spot Bitcoin ETFs. The SEC also denied a spot Bitcoin ETF proposal from WisdomTree in 2021.

[PayPal says policy to punish users for misinformation was ‘in error’](https://cointelegraph.com/news/paypal-says-policy-to-punish-users-for-misinformation-was-in-error)

PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy was set to change in early November to include a $2,500 fine for any platform users that promote, post, send or publicize so-called “misinformation.” PayPal has since claimed that the policy provision was added in error. “PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy,” said PayPal. The fiasco has reignited concerns about centralized platforms among crypto users who view self-custody as an important pillar of self-sovereignty and financial inclusion.

Blockchain games and metaverse projects raised $1.3B in Q3: DappRadar****

Data from DappRadar revealed that $1.3 billion worth of venture capital flowed into metaverse projects and blockchain games in Q3 — a bright spot amid crypto bear market darkness. While venture capital funding for these sectors was down 48% compared with Q2, the Q3 figure was still more than double the amount invested in all of 2021.

Prediction of the Week

[BTC price hits 3-week lows on US CPI as Bitcoin liquidates $57M](https://cointelegraph.com/news/btc-price-hits-3-week-lows-on-us-cpi-as-bitcoin-liquidates-57m)

For most of the week, Bitcoin traded sideways, slightly favoring the downside, according to Cointelegraph’s BTC price index. The asset sustained a fair bit of price volatility on Oct. 13, however, in line with the release of September’s U.S. inflation data. Bitcoin’s price dropped down near $18,200 following the news but subsequently rebounded above $19,000.

In an Oct. 13 post, pseudonymous Twitter user il Capo of Crypto tweeted about the possibility of Bitcoin’s drop being a bear trap, noting a potential subsequent rally to $21,000, followed by a stark drop.

FUD of the Week

[US Treasury’s OFAC and FinCEN announce $29M in enforcement actions against Bittrex](https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-treasury-s-ofac-and-fincen-announce-29m-in-enforcement-actions-again-bittrex)

Crypto exchange Bittrex faces charges from two different United States regulators: the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The regulatory authorities have essentially alleged that Bittrex did not conduct proper due diligence on its customers and transactions between 2014 and 2018, which allowed users from sanctioned regions to use the platform. Bittrex confirmed it would settle with OFAC for around $24 million, which may also be applied as a credit toward its $29 million settlement owed to FinCEN. Looking to move forward from the situation, Bittrex stated that it has been up to date with expected standards since 2018.

$100M drained from Solana DeFi platform Mango Markets, token plunges 52%****

Mango Markets, a decentralized finance platform running on the Solana blockchain, reportedly bled around $100 million from its treasury thanks to an exploit. Someone manipulated price data for the platform’s native MNGO asset, letting them borrow crypto worth far more than the value of the MNGO they put up as collateral. MNGO suffered a roughly 50% price drop following news of the event. Later reporting saw the hacker coming forward, demanding a $70 million bug reward and other terms to return exploited funds.

[CNN to shut down its NFT marketplace and issue 20% refund](https://cointelegraph.com/news/cnn-to-shut-down-its-nft-marketplace-and-issue-20-refund)

After about four months, media outlet CNN has decided to discontinue its nonfungible token (NFT) endeavor, seemingly another bear market casualty. The media company’s NFT project, known as Vault by CNN, essentially offered tokenized memories of historical news events spanning multiple decades through CNN’s history. The project’s roadmap projected six months of development, although the media outlet has since claimed the project was a “6-week experiment,” according to an announcement from the Vault by CNN Twitter account. NFT buyers will get a 20% reimbursement of the price they paid to mint their NFTs, according to a CNN staffer on Discord.

Cardano Daily Discussion - October 17, 2022

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the Cardano Daily Discussion!

The standard sub rules apply here (see sidebar), with the exception that price discussion is allowed in this thread, though we encourage you to try not to make this the focus and talk about the project itself. Please ask questions, help others and be civil - be sure to get involved in Project Catalyst too!

If you're new, please make sure you're read through the newbies guide and share it with others (use the ?newbies comment command to reference it).

​

⚠️ Scam Warning ⚠️

Please read the Cybersecurity guidelines for Cardano Users.

There are ongoing giveaway scams on youtube and many scammers lurking in Cardano's social channels impersonating ambassadors/moderators/official staff contacting users via direct messages.

For example, searching 'cardano' on youtube and sorting by most recent upload date shows several giveaway scams running (all videos in screenshot are scams):

​

Ongoing 'giveaway' scams on Youtube

The youtube scams are automated; use stolen footage usually of Charles Hoskinson and are restreamed so to appear to be 'live'; appear to have many watchers (which are bots); use bought hacked channels and are edited to appear like official channels.

Do not be fooled!

​

To be clear:

• ⚠️ There is no such thing as a Cardano giveaway
• ⚠️ Never share your seed phrase with ANYONE
• ⚠️ Never send ADA to someone promising to send you more ADA back
• ⚠️ You will never be contacted by ambassadors/moderators/staff

Please report scams on the Cardano Fraud Detection Bureau.

Trust Wallet Token (TWT) Shows Bullish Signs, Will Price Breach $1.5?

https://ifttt.com/images/no\_image\_card.png

• TWT’s price shows strength as the price breaks out of a downtrend with good volume with eyes set on $1.5. 

• TWT bounced from a low of $0.88 as the price rallied to a high of $1, preparing for a rally as the price showed bullish signs. 

• The price of TWT continues to trade above 50 and 200 Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) ahead of the daily close. 

The price actions shown by Bitcoin (BTC) have affected most altcoins negatively as some have lost their key support, but Trust Wallet Token (TWT) continues to show immersed strength as price breaks out of a long downtrend movement. The Consumer Price Index news released recently had a great deal of effect on the crypto market as the price of BTC declined to a low of $18,200 before a bounce to $19,300, with many altcoins like Trust Wallet Token (TWT) showing bullish strength. (Data from Binance)

Trust Wallet Token (TWT) Price Analysis On The Weekly Chart A notable event in the crypto space this week was the sharp decline in the crypto market following the release of the CPI news; the market appeared to be manipulated, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping from $19,200 to $18,200 in hours and then back up to a range high of $19,800 before rejection back to $19,200. With so many altcoins losing key support areas, this price action appears to be more of a manipulation.

The price of TWT has struggled in recent times to restore its bullish strength, rallying to a high of $1.4 before seeing a rejection in price to a low of $0.5. TWT price bounced from this region as price rallied to a high of $1.2, showing good price actions with strong volume but failing to flip the resistance at $1.4

For the price of TWT to trend higher, the price needs to break and close above $1.2 as the price is faced with a weekly resistance to trend higher in that region.

Weekly resistance for the price of TWT – $1.2.

Weekly support for the price of TWT – $0.9.

Price Analysis Of TWT On The Daily (1D) Chart Daily TWT Price Chart | Source: TWTUSDT On Tradingview.comThe daily timeframe for the price of TWT has recently seen the price struggle to withstand the current bear run holding strong support to prevent the price from being sold out.  

TWT’s price trades at $1.202 as the price continues its range-bound with the price forming a descending wedge above the 50 Exponential Moving Average (EMA); the price of $0.85 corresponds to the 50 EMA, acting as support for the price to break higher. 

With a break and hold of $1.2 by TWT, we could see the price rally with more buy volume to a high of $1.5

Daily resistance for the price of TWT – $1.2.

Daily support for the price of TWT – $0.95.

Stellar CannaCoin, a community-driven coin for the global cannabis industry

​

You pull up to a drive-through dispensary, phone in hand. A few taps later, your crypto transaction is complete. Seeing your generous tip, the budtender smiles and hands you a bag of fresh Tangie. You crack open the bag, sending a swirling aroma of skunky citrus into the air.

Not a pipe dream….if you live in a legal region and your local dispensary accepts Stellar CannaCoin, then this could be you. But before I tell you more, let’s talk about why there’s so much excitement for cannabis-related technologies, services, and products [2, 3].

High demand

Cannabis is one of the most valuable agricultural products, with U.S. sales projected to surpass $50 billion in a few years, while global sales exceed $100 billion. But these are the early days. As more countries legalize, the growth rate will continue to climb. With its medical benefits, industrial uses, and recreational popularity, the plant could soon rival the tobacco and alcohol industries in global revenue [4-9].

[4]

How Crypto Helps the Cannabis Industry

Current laws make it difficult for cannabis businesses to get loans, insurance, and credit cards. They’re forced to store and transport cash….a major security risk. By contrast, cryptocurrencies are stored in digital wallets protected by secret keys and recovery phrases (12 – 24 randomly generated words). If owners keep this information in a safe place, the accounts are highly secure [10].

The early-stage cannabis industry struggles with heavy taxes and strict regulations. Business owners can’t wait around for politicians….they need money now. Crypto not only offers solutions, it will continue to help the industry as it evolves….providing alternatives to high-interest loans that are risky for smaller businesses [11].

The Power of Media

History shows that mass media is powerful.

Mainstream media and social media platforms have combined forces to become superpowers. Breaking news stories go viral on social media platforms which boost their reach exponentially.

Positive cannabis news can lead to major rallies on stock and crypto markets. For example….after being elected as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau began working on marijuana legalization. By 2017, word had spread that legalization was becoming a reality, and the markets reacted [12].

In early 2018, cannabis stocks Aurora Cannabis, Aphria, and Emerald Health Therapeutics hit all-time highs. But it wasn’t just stocks that rallied….there was a buying frenzy in cannabis-related crypto.

​

Legalization Continues

The U.S. also seized the opportunity: 37 states legalized medical marijuana, and 19 legalized recreational. Maryland is likely to become #20 after the mid-term elections [14].

Following this trend, federal legalization is inevitable. If history repeats itself as it often does in markets, we’re due for a U.S. rally in cannabis-related stocks and crypto.

Exactly when this catalyst will occur is a matter of debate, but one thing almost all cannabis investors agree on: it will be massive. In 2017, Canada had a population of 36 million. In 2022, the U.S. population is 335 million.

More than 20% of Americans have invested in, traded, or used crypto [15].

​

[16]

Making Moves

October 6th, 2022, Biden took three positive steps towards broad legalization [17]:

1. Announced a pardon of prior federal offenses of marijuana possession
2. Urged governors to pardon state offenses
3. Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services will start a process to review how marijuana should be scheduled under federal law

Reactions on Reddit show excitement from customers and investors

Stellar CannaCoin

So far, no coins have been mass-adopted by the cannabis industry. Investors speculate on which ones will gain dominance.

One of the rising stars is Stellar CannaCoin.

Powered by the Stellar Network, its transactions are perfect for the industry:

• blazing fast (3-5 seconds)
• cost-effective (0.00001 XLM, which equals 0.0000011 cents per transaction)
• while Bitcoin uses 1,575 kilowatt-hours per transaction, Stellar Cannacoin uses just 0.00022 kilowatt-hours per transaction

[22, 23]

[3, 26, 24, 25]

Early stage, high growth

Despite emerging in the 2022 bear market, Stellar CannaCoin has a phenomenal growth rate.

A new wave of growth or collapse? What will happen to bitcoin next week?

On Sunday, October 16, Bitcoin is trading at $19.1 thousand. Over the past week, the first cryptocurrency has fallen in price by 1.3%. The experts analyzed the situation on the market and told how it could change in the next week and in the short term.

According to Andjei Korotkewič, CEO of the ASTL investment project, the bullish growth that happened on Thursday is a clear anomaly that some very large player could create to achieve their own local goals. The price of bitcoin has fallen to the lower edge of a large horizontal channel, having passed $20,000. Now it is inside the channel again, having failed to overcome one of its edges and gain a foothold there. Geopolitical and economic events are not encouraging, therefore, first of all, it is worth considering the option with a rebound from the upper edge of the channel in the region of $20.4 thousand and a further move down. Or to sell directly from the current levels and on the breakdown of the lower edge of the channel. The breakdown of the $18.4 thousand level and consolidation under it is only a matter of time.

"Volatility can be high," says Konstantinas Sizovas, CFO of the ASTL project. The current rate of bitcoin already takes into account the published data on the growth of consumer prices in September, and there are still two weeks before the upcoming meeting of the US Federal Reserve. So in the next two weeks, most likely, we will not see any turning points that can radically change the situation on the crypto market. The support level is still at $17.5K, by my calculations. If bitcoin goes below this mark, then the next support level will be already at $16,000.

There are no fundamental factors contributing to the sharp growth of bitcoin either. So, most likely, BTC will continue to fluctuate between $18 thousand and $20 thousand, at best, it will rise to $22 thousand, and then not for long. Volatility in the next two weeks may be high ahead of the US Federal Reserve meeting, which is likely to decide to raise the key rate by 0.75 percentage points.

Against this background, investors need to invest fiat and cryptocurrency assets in projects that provide a stable income that obviously exceeds inflationary expectations and does not fall under any sanctions, blocking and confiscation. The ASTL project is a simple and elegant solution for potential investors - an investment in the development of the real sector of a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, with a fairly high ROI (up to 18%) with payments in stablecoin (USDT). More information about the proposals of the ASTL investment project can be found on the website https://astl.io.

Bitcoin Struggles To Break Past $19,500 As New Twist Surfaces, Here’s What To Expect

https://ifttt.com/images/no\_image\_card.png

• BTC’s price shows strength but has struggled to break past $19,500 as the price continues to move in circles. 

• BTC bounced from a low of $18,200 after the price rallied toward $19,800 but was rejected by sellers. 

• The price of BTC continues to trade below 50 and 200 Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) ahead of the weekly close. 

The price movement of Bitcoin (BTC) has shown some great price action lately as the price garnered momentum to bounce from a low of $18,200 to $19,800d against tether (USDT). Despite the strength shown by the price of Bitcoin (BTC), it has struggled to reclaim $19,500, which is key for a rally to the region of $20,000. Ahead of the weekly close, it is yet to be known if the price of BTC will rally to the upside or downside, as many traders are left in a dilemma. (Data from Binance)

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis On The Weekly Chart Weekly BTC Price Chart | Source: BTCUSDT On Tradingview.comThe week has been packed with so many events in the crypto space, but a notable one was the sharp decline in the crypto market after the release of the CPI news; the market appeared to be manipulated, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping from $19,200 to $18,200 in hours and then back up to a range high of $19,800 before rejection back to $19,200. This price action seems more of manipulation with so much price volatility in a short time. With the possibility of Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) rising to a high of 45%, altcoins could suffer more if BTC retraces. 

The price of BTC has struggled in recent times to restore the strength it showed, rallying from a region of $18,700 to $25,000. BTC’s price declined from $25,000 to a weekly low of $18,800-$19,300. The has since struggled to breakout from this range.

BTC’s price needs to reclaim $19,500 with good volume for the price to restore a measure of relief for BTC price and altcoins. If the price of BTC fails to close above $19,500, we could see the price retesting the low of $18,800-$18,200.

Weekly resistance for the price of BTC – $19,500.

Weekly support for the price of BTC – $18,800-18,200.
