2022 is here! And the things that we are listening to the most are Metaverse and Web3 Right? 

But do you really know what basically Web3 and metaverse are? 

Or 

Do you know the forecast of Web 3 or the forecast of Metaverse? 

Also, do you really think, just moving on with life without knowing about the latest technology will anyway help you? 

I don’t think anyone here, will want to do that. So, here we bring you the forecast of the latest technology i.e. Web3 and metaverse for you! 

So, let’s start with the introduction of Web3 and Metaverse! 

What is Web3 and Metaverse?

1. Open: It is a real definition of transparency. Anyone in the world can see and access the records.
2. Non-reliable: In this the Internet let the user communicate publicly or privately without any higher authority.
3. Permissionless: Everyone, both users and suppliers, can participate without authorization from a governing body. 

The metaverse is a linked 3D virtual world through which you can mingle, unite, learn, and play. 

When we talk about metaverse, it is really crucial to draw a thin line between “a metaverse” and “The Metaverse”

The Difference Has To Do With The Direction. 

A metaverse can be curated by any organization that has the aim to create this 3D virtual environment/ world. 

You can correlate it with social media. We all know there are many social media. In fact, do you know, there are more than 100 different social media. 

This Is True For Metaverses As Well! 

When metaverse is discussed, some have disputes of thoughts regarding the existence, with examples of popular video games like Minecraft, Roblox, and even Fortnite – where they even had an in-game concert having Travis Scott with them.

Now, let me put the facts really straight:

The Metaverse, we are talking about is a single organization controlling this digital universe. 

If you are aware of Ready Player One it is quite similar to that. 

Techies like Facebook and Microsoft are trying to be the one who are renowned for creating Metaverse. 

The aim of every business in the present world, is to become a monopoly anyhow, right? Till the time you actually do and the government is after you! 

But I kinda disagree! 

There is quite a growth in the searches of “Metaverse” after the release of Facebook’s Connect Keynote in 2021 in which the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg shared his thoughts and vision of Metaverse, and also announced the news of changing the name of their parent company to Meta. 

The term “metaverse” was actually invented by Neal Stephenson around 30 years ago in his science fiction novel “Snow Crash” which was released in 1992. 

So, while the Metaverse is not a new term, it has gained a lot of limelight in a very short span of time. 

Benefits of Web3 and Metaverse

Web3	Metaverse
As there will be no central governing body, brokers will no longer control the data. This will reduce the risk of censorship by the government or corporations.	Enhancement of Social media Beyond Web2
In the future, more mobile phones will be connected to the Internet, so more data will be available and analyzed. Providing exact data will help build a better custom-made experience for users.	Unique Communication for Work and Education: The work and education processes can be communicated on the Internet easily using the technology.
Web 3.0 will improve web search accuracy and precision. Metadata and understanding the intent of our searches are all to thank for this.	Enriching the use of Blockchain Technology
At present, very few people like to be bombarded with advertisements on every corner. Occasionally, it can be helpful if they meet someone’s needs. Web 3.0 will use AI systems to enhance and customize advertising to show according to the user’s needs.	Curating and advertising the virtual economy: The metaverse will provide a digital platform for an immersive exchange of digital and offline products and services, including digital assets.

Prediction of Web3

How will Web3 change marketing and advertising in 2022? This is the question, in every person’s mind, but very few know the answer for the same. So, here we bring the precision of Web3 and that too by the Creators of Web3.

Smart Contracts and Crypto Payments Will Be More Common

In the creator ecosystem, massive amounts of wealth are lost every year due to sloppy invoicing. A smart contract is simply a new form of contract implemented into a blockchain, allowing two parties to create if/then statements.

For example, you’ll get automatically paid if you post three Instagram posts with specific criteria. No human interaction is involved in the fulfilment of these contracts, which leads to inefficient workflow.

There Will Be A More Evident Difference Between “Creator and Influence”

Creators are artists and entertainers who have a large audience of their own because of the content that they curate, and the respect for the following is along and using that content. Influencers are followed not because of their content but because of the value of their audiences.

And these are your beauty, fashion influencers. On the other hand, creators will increasingly monetize with the help of NFTs, Tokens, etc. but their advertising will continue to be the first source of income.

Creators Will Have The Power To Build More Wealth Through Web3

The parameters of Web2 define the whole creator economy. With the invention of Web3, we will be able to understand what it takes to be a creator and influencer alteration in ways that are difficult to predict but has to happen.

Prediction of Metaverse

Metaverse surely owned 2021, but 2022 might be disappointing for the investors. Here, we bring the two biggest predictions of the metaverse and why investors should not fall for this hype-cycle.

Years To Play Out

We are still very far away from mass metaverse adoption – like 5-10 years of hardware evolution away.
In November, Meta enkindled the metaverse wars, and that too with every stock or crypto-token in relation to its tech. Since Meta’s announcement happened:

In November, Meta (Facebook) ignited the metaverse wars — along with nearly every stock or crypto-token related to its tech. Since Meta’s announcement:

• Stockverse: Roblox increased by 62% and Unity jumped 30% 
• Cryptoverse: $MANA and $SAND jumped around 3 times and 5 times respectively.

But Meta – the organization that initiated the movement has also jumped over to 4.6%. On the other side, it’s the Oculus app that was the #1 app on Christmas Day – an indication of big holiday sales.

The Winner Of The Metaverse War Will Be Upstarts

The present big tech giants will not be shaping the future of VR/AR. According to past theories, S&P 500 companies along with its creator as the CEO are more innovative.

• They make 31% more patents with more values.
• The companies led by a founder stock return also showed their counterparts between 1990-2014.

The known tech giants like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are no longer operated by their founders. Therefore, Mark Zuckerberg is only the one to do so.

The very famous Tech Analysts Tiernan Ray has a faith that tech giants can not build the metaverse because:

• Dominant Companies like Mata, Amazon, and Google were not successful in creating custom products like the iPhone.
• Companies like Meta do not have the ability to make great customer experiences.  

Investors: Don’t Get Tangled

Companies will not be able to see significant value from their AR/VR or metaverse investments for several years. Mobile, one of the biggest tech disruptions of all time, took decades to evolve while passing through many iterations. Stocks and crypto tokens soared after the recent metaverse launch.

Connection of Blockchain and Web3

Web 3.0 and Blockchain have a lot in common, and the most important of all is decentralization. However, Blockchain contributes to a lot of features as well.

One of these is a unique digital identity that gives every user a sense of whole security, as well as transparency while doing transactions. Additionally, blockchain technology would allow Web 3.0 to curate cryptocurrencies and use them for payments.
