DeFi <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> would not be possible without the web infrastructure that is widely used today, demonstrating the tremendous strides we have made with next-level innovation. The third era of the internet has already dawned, with a new economy, new careers and new enterprise opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Many experts believe DeFi\u2019s rise has helped nonfungible tokens (NFTs) become more liquid, allowing users to view them as a more realistic investment opportunity. The rise of NFTs is further proof as to how this area of finance leads to a more promising and fulfilling development to total Web 3.0 adoption. NFTs are empowering the democratization of the new web \u2014 one of many benefits of blockchain technology \u2014 while DeFi aims to deliver the promise of financial democratization.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>How NFTs, DeFi and Web 3.0 are intertwined<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DeFi has been the catalyst behind the NFT avalanche we have seen in recent months, supported by the ideas and infrastructure represented by Web 3.0.

NFTs help to bring new collateral options in DeFi lending and can even represent more complex financial products. Additionally, projects like Centrifuge, a protocol for decentralized asset finance, or Aavegotchi, a DeFi-enabled crypto-collectibles <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> that allows players to stake NFT avatars with interest-generating aTokens and interact with other users, are already working at the intersection of DeFi and NFTs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>NFTs make it possible for gamers to have digital property rights<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Users looking for increased transparency, fairness and open-source solutions could slowly but surely create a domino effect that will result in total Web 3.0 adoption. While the next era of the internet is still undefined, NFTs, tokenization and other next-level developments, paired with a growing need for more decentralized solutions, have opened the door for a better and stronger web ecosystem that can evolve alongside the industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>DeFi snowball will turn into a Web 3.0 avalanche<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_solution-oriented_web\"><\/span>A solution-oriented web<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While DeFi adoption continues its rollout on a global scale and is slated to challenge traditional finance, mainstream use cases are essential for this new era of the web to flourish. The next generation of the web is more focused on everyday usage and less on the technical infrastructure, creating an atmosphere that both challenges and changes human interaction as we know it.<\/p>\n<p>The decentralized web will build a global wealth of applications and provide value to every individual, from teachers to doctors to fashion entrepreneurs and more. Major corporations including Microsoft, Sony and Samsung are already embracing blockchain, machine learning and other Web 3.0 technologies, recognizing their value for building a more scalable, real-time solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Is a new decentralized internet, or Web 3.0, possible?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_how_do_we_get_there\"><\/span>But how do we get there?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is already a demand to bridge the gap between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 to create a more censorship-resistant, flexible and open-source internet.

It\u2019s a safe bet that someday, these applications will bypass banks, Wall Street trading firms and brokerages entirely.<\/p>\n<p>While DeFi pushes Web 3.0 full steam ahead, a seamless and efficient onboarding process is necessary. Making the leap from one version of the web to the next will require broader adoption of DeFi in everyday enterprises to truly bolster the learning curve that comes with Web 3.0\u2019s new and improved properties.
