Real Examples of Web3 Apps
You might be wondering what you can actually build with decentralized technology, and the answer is: almost anything! Here are some real examples of different fields where decentralized apps are making an impact:
Financial Apps
Think of apps like digital banks, but without the bank. You can lend money to others and earn interest, or swap one type of token for another, all automatically
In NEAR Protocol for example we have the decentralized exchange Ref Finance and a cross-chain platform for swaps named NEAR Intents
Community Governance
In Web 3, groups of people can make decisions together through transparent voting systems. No more wondering if your vote actually counted - everything is recorded on the blockchain.
NEAR Treasury and Astra++ are examples of community governance in action
Digital Art & Collectibles
Artists can create unique digital artwork that is verified as authentic and owned by specific people. These can be collected and traded just like physical art
Gaming
Imagine playing a game where the items you earn are actually yours. Since items are stored on the blockchain, they are readily available on any game that supports them, and easily tradable with other players.
