In today’s episode, we speak with Chris Duffey, Strategic Development Manager at Adobe, who comes on the podcast to discuss the exciting and evolving landscape of Web 3 and the Metaverse.
Duffey kicks off the show by giving us a brief history of the web. He takes us back to the late 90s/early 2000s which saw the birth of Web 1.0, a read-only environment. This was followed by Web 2.0, which allowed for interactions with both reading and writing, enabling sharing and expression.
He then takes us to the present day with Web 3.0, which expanded on the work of Web 2.0, focusing on co-ownership, decentralized finance, smart contracts, DAOs, and NFTs. Duffey distinguishes between the metaverse and Web 3, and in the process highlights the seven characteristics of each and their interconnectedness.
As the conversation progresses, Duffey then leads onto the interplay between Web 3 and the Metaverse. He dives deeper into the characteristics of the metaverse, including immersive 3D experiences, real-time interactions, and co-ownership of digital assets. He also emphasizes the importance of interoperability among different metaverse worlds, allowing users to transfer assets seamlessly.
With regardless to the potential for businesses to benefit from the Metaverse, Duffey advocates that the rise of the creative economy and new forms of commerce offers exciting prospects for businesses. During this part of the conversation, Duffey shares insights on the potential for businesses to co-create with consumers, leading to mutual success and community-building.
Before wrapping up the episode, Duffey shares interesting insights from his forthcoming book, “Decoding the Metaverse.” He mentions that a surprising number of NFT artwork is predominantly stored on the cloud rather than on the blockchain, posing potential risks for those investing in this technology.
He also shares how NFTs have evolved from being investments in digital artwork to forming loyalty clubs with token gating, offering exciting possibilities for businesses.
