Abstract

Web Blockchain refers to websites or digital spaces where blockchain is used to record, process, and present information and services, such as social networks, blogs, forums, and news media, which have now shifted to employing blockchain technology to go beyond crypto-currencies and crypto-financial services. However, the exponential growth of Web Blockchain is not out of context; rather it is associated deeply with fundamental social, technological, and financial transformations at a high pace due to the phenomenon of the COVID-19 pandemic. Educational, commercial, medical and health, tourism, advertising, and entertainment sectors are now rushing for new technologies and digitalization. Data and information have been the most important resources of society that have to be immutably recorded, transparently accessible, and securely processed. Artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and environetworks are morphing a new technological and societal paradigm for the web-begetting Web 3.0/Blockchain. Within this context, Web Blockchain will emerge as an application area of blockchain technology, important for social scientific investigation and a critical view over the present and future web and blockchain developments (Figure 15.1). Figure 15.1 Impact of blockchain on data control. This circular infographic illustrates how different technologies vary in data control and transparency. At the top right, green-colored 'Decentralized Applications' offer high control and high transparency, empowering users. To the top left, blue-colored 'Open-Source Platforms' are transparent but offer limited user control. Bottom left, red 'Traditional Web Services' provide minimal control or transparency. Bottom right, orange 'Private Blockchain Solutions' give control but lack transparency. The center arrow loop ties all four quadrants into a continuous spectrum.
