Introduction

The internet is evolving again. While AI dominates headlines in 2025, Web 3.0 continues to gain traction behind the scenes. It is changing how data, identity, and trust are handled online. Dunham is staying ahead with its Web 3.0 Studio. This service helps organizations build smarter, more transparent, and future-ready digital systems.

What Is Web 3.0 (in 2025) and Why It Still Matters

Web 3.0 focuses on data ownership, blockchain, AI, and token-based systems that reduce reliance on centralized platforms. While the hype may have faded, the core promise remains: Web 3.0 empowers users and businesses with more transparency, security, and control over digital interactions.

Internet Evolution Recap

Web 1.0 (1994–2004): The first stage of the public internet – the World Wide Web lasted from 1994 to 2004 and was all about reading content that others had put online. Data lived in many places but was static and had limited interaction.
Web 2.0 (2004–present): Social media, user-generated content, and centralized data controlled by Big Tech. This stage started in 2004 with Facebook (now Meta), and was followed by other services like Twitter (now X) and YouTube. Advances in technology made it possible for them to create ‘free’ but proprietary services that you could interact with. Not only could you read content but you could also add it. Companies like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google (FANG) amassed huge amounts of data, which they then sold to advertisers. Their data was centralized in few locations.
Web 3.0 (now emerging): Concerns over personal information and the continued evolution of technology are enabling the Internet to change again. The vision of Web 3.0 is one where you own your data, which is shared over services that are open source (not proprietary), and harness AI to create the ‘semantic web’. Data will be distributed through a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system – Blockchain. It is these characteristics that enable the existence of cryptocurrency. However blockchain will also improve the business processes that occur between companies, and between those companies and the consumer.
