- Amid other social and economic inequalitiesaccess to the internet is still relatively universal.
- Reliance on brick-and-mortar services is reaching a point of diminishing returns.
- Web3 will make user owners of their data and other technological assets and present a great economic correction.
Roiled by a return of war in Europeforgotten crises such as Afghanistantwo years of the COVID-19 pandemic and unchecked climate changethe world’s institutionscountries and companiesincluding those with fortress balance sheetslook decidedly enfeebled.
Howeverthere is a silver lining among these dark clouds in the form of Web3. That is the third generation of the internet.

What is Web3 and why care?
Web3 is not only a new foundational layer of the world wide webit is a fundamentally new approach to corporate governancevalue creation and stakeholder participation with pari passu interests. It presents an opportunity where people are not merely products or beneficiaries of technology-powered business models but builders and owners of digitally unique assets.
The COVID-19 pandemicfor exampleexposed pre-existing societal vulnerabilities while technology and universal access to the internet offered a semblance of continuitywhich amounted to nothing short of a Great Correction. Like past global criseswhether anthropogenic or naturally occurringpost-pandemic recovery will require reformulating institutional and international norms.
Technology and how it is harnessedespecially with the emergence of an open internet of valueis the technological contest of our times. This reality is especially true and urgent since the provision of even basic services riding on brick and mortar or fixed lines has reached a point of diminishing returns.

It requires delivery and resultsmeeting billions of people on the margins but who otherwise enjoy access to low-costdevice-centric internet connectivity.
The perimeter of peace and prosperity cannot be stretched any further with institutions designed hundreds of years agoriding on 50-year-old technologiesand led by risk-averse leaders incentivized with preserving the status quo ante.
The economic creative destructive cycle that has created an embarrassment of riches in the world’s advanced economies is borne from the minds of entrepreneurial challengers and a concerted transition from the agricultural age to the industrial revolution to the shift from services to an always-on internet economy.
Whereas the entanglements of Web1 and Web2 made people products by monetizing their data and socializing lossesWeb3 strives for equilibriumenabling people to readwrite and own their digital bread crumbs.
Reaching Web3's potential
After the sun and human aspirationthe world’s most abundant resource is data and Web3 gives us a new way to compartmentalize and monetize it.
The instinct to shut down the Web3 revolution for short-lived failures conforming with institutional norms across bankingtraditional corporate governanceregulations and political inclinations should be dismissed. Following that inclination would put us on the wrong side of history and ignores the deeply democratic tendencies of Web3as well as the fact that amid otherwise anaemic or sclerotic growth in traditional sectorsWeb3 is powering trillions in economic activity and we are only nearing the starting line.
Of coursetechnology alone is not a panacea but as with all emerging models of competitionit often shows where incumbentstheir policies and regulatory frameworks have fallen short. Howfor examplewill the world attain the first of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals of eradicating extreme poverty with so many billions of people out of the reach of the brick-and-mortar banking system that is the gateway to the formal economy?
And how will these gates to the bottom rung of the ladder of economic mobility be opened for the billion people who are functionally born in the shadows with no portable identity that is minimally acceptable to entering the formal economy?

Left uncheckedthis state of economic inequity is a greater source of global risk than millions of people establishing peer-to-peer economic relationships with each other powered by public blockchains and Web3. In Thomas Friedman’s hotflat and crowded worldwe no longer send cross-border mail as the internet tore down national boundariescreating trust-basedfrictionless information exchange. In the futurewill we still send cross-border payments? Or will we be able to freely engage (in a complianttrustedand privacy-preserving manner) in the frictionless exchange of economic value?
More than 200 million people and counting all over the world are taking the long bet on device-centric bankingpayments and digital assetswhile institutional adoption of Web3 has triggered nothing short of a pecuniary space race. Who winshow winning is construedif this is a zero-sum race at all and which value systems are enshrined in conductcodebits and byteswill be as deterministic to our future as arresting warclimate changepandemics and institutional mistrust.

How to follow Davos 2022
Rising to the technological contest of our times is about spurring more equitable economic growthmaking people owners rather than technological serfs and harnessing otherwise stranded assets and aspirations. Like all economic corrections and cyclesprogress comes with externalities. The carbon-hungry economic model of the Robber Barons of the industrial age accelerated man-made climate changejust like the data-hungry Tech Titans have amplified cyber risk and societal misinformation.
Web3 is a correction to these challenges but it must also be rules-based and accountable for its full potential to be unlocked. The countriescompanies and institutions who embrace this technological opportunity will advance their competitiveness and help shape an always-oneconomically equitable future.
