Description

The Web3 vs Web2 Comparison Infographic is a printable visual guide designed to clearly highlight the fundamental differences between the traditional internet (Web2) and the decentralized web (Web3). Ideal for classrooms, crypto seminars, startup pitch decks, or onboarding materials, this professionally designed infographic breaks down the complex evolution of web technologies into digestible sections. The chart is divided into multiple categories such as data ownership, identity management, monetization models, backend architecture, content distribution, governance, and user control. Each section compares the Web2 model — centralized platforms like Facebook, Google, and Amazon — with emerging Web3 frameworks powered by blockchain, smart contracts, and token economies. Examples like YouTube (Web2) versus decentralized platforms like Audius or Lens Protocol (Web3) help contextualize the shift. The infographic also includes visual diagrams showing how centralized servers contrast with peer-to-peer nodes, and how login credentials differ from wallet-based authentication. A section is dedicated to key innovations like NFTs, DAOs, and DeFi which are absent in Web2 but central to Web3. Annotations are provided in both English and Japanese, making it highly useful for bilingual teams or workshops held in Japan. Whether you're a developer explaining tech architecture to stakeholders, or an educator illustrating the web's transition to your students, this infographic provides a visually engaging, offline-friendly resource that sparks discussion and understanding at a glance.
