After all, Web3 is decentralized, and users' data is stored on the chain. Users have ownership of their data and can use their data to create and capture value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Web2 game mode vs. web3 in gaming<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web2 games are F2P, the core of which is selling virtual items such as equipment. In this model, the game company controls the development direction of the game, and it aims to make more money from the game design. Players do not own items they buy or obtain while playing and cannot sell them on the secondary market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web3 games are embodied in the P2E or M2E model, which is centered on making the player the valid owner of the in-game items. In P2E or M2E, the player becomes the main participant in the game, and the acquired NFTs of the game can be bought and sold in the primary or secondary market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Changes brought about by web3<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the above-mentioned user data and asset ownership, Web3 brings many changes at the decentralized infrastructure and application levels. For example, there are the most basic privacy protections, data storage, and DAO governance at the application level. At the application level, there are GameFi game projects, social entertainment, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_239786\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-239786\" style=\"width: 962px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-239786 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-9.png\" alt=\"\u00a0\u00a0Footprint Analytics - Top Web3 Tokens by Market Capitalization\" width=\"962\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-9.png 962w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-9-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-9-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-239786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Footprint Analytics &#8211; Top Web3 Tokens by Market Capitalization<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/how-polkadot-dot-could-become-blockchain-3-0\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polkadot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> represents Web3 infrastructure, solving the problem of data interaction between blockchains with different characteristics, forming a Web3 cross-chain solution, and bringing more convenience to on-chain projects.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared with traditional centralized storage data platforms, it is straightforward to be deleted by centralized operations.
