Differences Between Defi and Web3

Web3 refers to the paradigm shift or the next generation of the internet, built on top of blockchain technology. It aims to create a more decentralized, private, and secure internet owned and controlled by its users. In Web3, users own their data and have full control over how it is used and shared. Its applications are built on decentralized protocols and use smart contracts to automate transactions and interactions. DeFi, on the other hand, is an emerging financial system within Web3 that offers a novel form of value and utility not found in traditional financial systems.
