Occasionally, you might find some queries that lack a universally accepted answer, a scenario that echoes the very spirit of Blockchain.
Web3 AMA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Web3?
Web3, also known as Web 3.0, symbolizes the next evolution of the internet. It capitalizes on blockchain technology to foster a decentralized and intelligent web, thereby diminishing the reliance on centralized data storage and promoting more direct peer-to-peer interactions.
What is blockchain technology?
Blockchain, a distinct type of distributed ledger technology (DLT), records data across various systems in a secure, transparent, and unalterable manner. While it forms the foundation for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, it harbors potential applications that extend well beyond the realm of digital currency.
What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
AI mimics human intelligence in machines, programmed to replicate human thought patterns and actions. AI technology possesses the capability to learn and solve problems, and it finds usage across a vast spectrum of contexts, from recommendation systems to autonomous vehicles.
How does blockchain work?
In essence, blockchain operates by logging information in a series of blocks. Each of these blocks houses data, its own hash, and the hash of the preceding block. This design renders the blockchain impervious to modifications, as any change in a block necessitates alterations in all subsequent blocks.
What are smart contracts?
Smart contracts, in essence, are self-fulfilling contracts with the agreement’s stipulations directly encoded into the code. They function on the blockchain, guaranteeing public storage and immutability. Upon the fulfillment of pre-set conditions, smart contracts autonomously trigger transactions.
How is AI used in blockchain?
AI finds utility in blockchain for an array of purposes. It augments security through anomaly detection, boosts scalability via intelligent optimization, and refines decision-making processes by leveraging machine learning algorithms.
What are the benefits of Web3?
Web3 confers numerous benefits, which include enhanced privacy, diminished dependence on centralized platforms, peer-to-peer interactions, and the privilege to own and monetize personal data.
What is a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization)?
A DAO is an organization governed by rules encoded as a computer program, offering transparency, member control, and immunity from central government interference. DAOs are essentially a product of blockchain technology.
How are NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) related to blockchain?
NFTs, a unique type of digital asset, utilize blockchain technology to establish ownership and authenticity of distinctive items or pieces of content. Every NFT possesses a digital signature that sets it apart from other tokens.
What are DApps (Decentralized Applications)?
DApps operate as applications on a P2P computer network, rather than on a singular computer. Similar to web apps, DApps employ languages like HTML for frontend creation. However, they use smart contracts on the blockchain for their backend.

Immerse yourself in our live Web3 AMA Session, guided by our seasoned instructor. This platform allows you to not only pose your Blockchain-related questions but also learn in a collaborative environment and simultaneously broaden your professional network.
Our knowledgeable subject matter experts stand ready to provide answers. However, keep in mind that the charm of Blockchain rests in the quest for consensus, true to its moniker, the “truth machine”. Occasionally, you might find some queries that lack a universally accepted answer, a scenario that echoes the very spirit of Blockchain.
What is Web3?
Web3, also known as Web 3.0, symbolizes the next evolution of the internet. It capitalizes on blockchain technology to foster a decentralized and intelligent web, thereby diminishing the reliance on centralized data storage and promoting more direct peer-to-peer interactions.
What is blockchain technology?
Blockchain, a distinct type of distributed ledger technology (DLT), records data across various systems in a secure, transparent, and unalterable manner. While it forms the foundation for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, it harbors potential applications that extend well beyond the realm of digital currency.
What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
AI mimics human intelligence in machines, programmed to replicate human thought patterns and actions. AI technology possesses the capability to learn and solve problems, and it finds usage across a vast spectrum of contexts, from recommendation systems to autonomous vehicles.
How does blockchain work?
In essence, blockchain operates by logging information in a series of blocks. Each of these blocks houses data, its own hash, and the hash of the preceding block. This design renders the blockchain impervious to modifications, as any change in a block necessitates alterations in all subsequent blocks.
What are smart contracts?
Smart contracts, in essence, are self-fulfilling contracts with the agreement’s stipulations directly encoded into the code. They function on the blockchain, guaranteeing public storage and immutability. Upon the fulfillment of pre-set conditions, smart contracts autonomously trigger transactions.
How is AI used in blockchain?
AI finds utility in blockchain for an array of purposes. It augments security through anomaly detection, boosts scalability via intelligent optimization, and refines decision-making processes by leveraging machine learning algorithms.
What are the benefits of Web3?
Web3 confers numerous benefits, which include enhanced privacy, diminished dependence on centralized platforms, peer-to-peer interactions, and the privilege to own and monetize personal data.
What is a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization)?
A DAO is an organization governed by rules encoded as a computer program, offering transparency, member control, and immunity from central government interference. DAOs are essentially a product of blockchain technology.
How are NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) related to blockchain?
NFTs, a unique type of digital asset, utilize blockchain technology to establish ownership and authenticity of distinctive items or pieces of content. Every NFT possesses a digital signature that sets it apart from other tokens.
What are DApps (Deccentralized Applications)?
DApps operate as applications on a P2P computer network, rather than on a singular computer. Similar to web apps, DApps employ languages like HTML for frontend creation. However, they use smart contracts on the blockchain for their backend.

It acts as the virtual machine which is the bedrock of Ethereum’s entire operating structure. It is considered to be part of Ethereum that runs execution and smart contract deployment. The role of the EVM is to deploy a number of extra functionalities to the Blockchain to ensure users face limited issues on the distributed ledger. Every Ethereum node runs on the EVM to maintain consensus across the blockchain. Ethereum facilitates something called smart contracts, a piece of code that is running on Ethereum.
EVM is completely isolated, meaning the code inside the EVM has no access to the network, file system, or other processes. Ethereum has two types of accounts: Externally Owned Accounts (EOA) and Contract Accounts, both of which are treated equally under the EVM. Account abstraction tries to reduce this to just one account, meaning both EOAs and Contract Accounts function like each other. Private keys control EOAs, meanwhile, contract accounts are stored in smart contracts, also known as smart wallets. A contract that is written in the smart-contract coding is converted into something called a bytecode.
Most of the source code for using smart contracts is done using programming language from Solidity. It is then converted into opcodes for the EVM to interpret. The EVM then uses the operation codes to complete certain tasks. So, the EVM works like a large decentralized or master computer to complete all types of tasks on the blockchain. EVM is one of the biggest projects in the world of cryptocurrencies.
