A Complete Guide On Web3 Stack To Understand The Architecture Of Web3 Technology

Web 3 Tech Stack

Web 3.0, the current buzzword in the digital world will go far beyond many trending technologies like NFTs, Cryptocurrencies etc. With its gaining pace, almost anything in this world like purchasing a product or acquiring a service will be completely powered-by this futuristic tech, Web 3.

Now in this blog, lets have a look at the technical aspect in detail and break it down all the about Web 3.0.

What Is Web 3.0 All About?

In general, Web 3.0 is the Third-Gen World Wide Web that serves a prime purpose to provide a serverless, decentralized internet. Unlike in Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, this Web 3 offers “Read-Write-Interact” version of internet.

How Web 3.0 Works?

With an aim to provide complete data ownership transparency and user freedom, Web 3 relies on various technologies like Blockchain, Machine Learning and possibly Artificial Intelligence. Now by leveraging such cutting-edge technologies, Web 3 uses a futuristic tech stack architecture to create a new paradigm of internet. An overview on such a tech stack is coming right up.

Web 3 Technology Stack

• Infrastructure Layer

• Protocol Layer

• Application Layer

• Access Layer

Infrastructure Layer

This is the very first layer of Web 3 tech stack on top of which everything like Smart Contract, Storage facility, Communication protocols, Financial primitives etc are built. As it holds such a huge category of blocks, this layer is responsible for doing a wide range of specified tasks as mentioned below.

• Networking

• Virtualization

• Computing

• Data storage and more.

Protocol Layer:

The Protocol layer comes next to the infrastructure layer. This layer leverages many popular Blockchain technologies like Ethereum, TRON, Avalanche, Solana and also uses various consensus algorithms and virtual machines. They are as follows.

Consensus Algorithm

• Proof Of Work

• Proof Of Stake

• Proof Of History

• Stellar Consensus Protocol

• Ripple Consensus Protocol

• Proof Of Space And Time

Virtual Machines

Virtual Machines are mainly designed to ensure a platform's security and also help in auto executing the codes from all the nodes that lie within the network. Below mentioned are the various types of virtual machines used by different blockchains.

• Ethereum - Ethereum 1.0, Hashgraph, Ethermint

• Solana and Cardano - Direct Low Level Virtual Machines

• Kadena, Tezos uses its own transition machines. 

Application Layer:

Next comes the application layer which includes a wide range of use cases from DeFi, NFTs to many other DApp applications. Some of the biggest decentralized Web 3 applications are Uniswap, Aave, OpenSea etc. Also, this is the layer that lets the users to easily interact with an intuitive front-end layer of the Web 3 platform.

Access Layer:

This top most layer in the Web 3 architecture serves as the entry point for all the Web 3 activities. Instead of traditional username and password, this layer of Web 3 requires a Blockchain wallet in order to provide the users with easy and simplified access. This layer not only acts as an authentication layer but also functions as a secured transaction layer.

As of now, these above mentioned layers forms the architectural structure that builds the developing world of Web 3.0.  However, with evolving technology, the tech stack of Web 3 can be altered in many ways in the future, to provide betterment in what we have now.
