There's been kind of two waves of "This is web3". The first was primarily about protocols like IPFS, dat/hyper, ... (2018/19?) and then at some point it got used more and more by blockchain folks, and they kind of dominate the conversation now. What it "actually" is is up in the air and not really defined. (But the blockchain scenario still often involves things like IPFS as underlying components)

- detaro 5y agoTrue, but the semantic web == web 3.0 angle has been dead for a long time, i.e. I haven't heard proponents of semantic web use "web 3.0" in a long time.
