Introduction
The term Web3 has been floating around the web for a number of years now, and a new iteration of the world wide web has become a reality with concepts such as blockchain, NFTs and token-based economies taking root. Giving power back to users through decentralised, token-based economies and cryptocurrencies.
Firemind were keen to explore how identity, property and connectivity can successfully scale products, solutions and services within the ecosystem of Web3. So what better way to delve in deep than invite a number of high calibre speakers to discuss the topic with a wide variety of Startups based in the UK.
