# Web3
Web3 is a term that encompasses using #crypto technologies to create new versions of Web technology. By being a currency, participants in those systems are rewarded instead of the inventors of the systems (e.g., a Twitter where your popular tweets earn you money).
Examples:
- SOLID
- The Apes
- IPFS
- NFTs
- Seed Club - Fund DAOs
- PoolTogether (https://pooltogether.com/)

### Future of community
![[web3 future of community.png]]
- Mutual concern
- Shared core value(s) and purpose
- Shared experiences reflecting shared value(s) and purpose
- Belonging
- Incentives to contribute
DAOs may be getting all the attention due to their obvious next-gen community governance and native web 3 protocols, but DAOs still fall under the parent category of community.
Tokenization by way of old school community values is the bigger deal right now. DAOs offer tokenization natively, but it’s a major structural shift for the community to become a DOA.
Tokenization as an ala-carte, however, can have immediate material impact on a virtual community, whether it’s based in web 2 or web 3. (edited)
