Along with exploring core concepts of Web3 like DAOs, tokens, dApps, and Ethereum, this book will also examine the main categories that are poised for enormous opportunities. They include infrastructure, consumer apps, enterprise apps, and the metaverse. For each of these, I will have use cases of successful companies.
