Web3 and Financial Inclusion
Web3 has the greatest potential for financial inclusion and brings new and empowering tools to the underprivileged regions across the world. Use of decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technologies enables people outside traditional banking to access financial services through Web3.
One of Web3's salient characteristics is truly accessible service provision. For these blockchain-based platforms, being simply in possession of some means to connect to the Internet and a digital wallet is enough requirement for anyone in any place and on any point on the economic spectrum to benefit from them. This has particular resonance with the estimated 1.4 billion or so people worldwide who currently have no access to traditional banking services.
Through decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, opportunities to save, borrow, lend, and trade without intermediaries emerged for users. Secure and trustworthy transactions ensued by means of smart contracts, but also cut expenses and made it easier to get into a network, enabling microloans and peer-to-peer financing of small entrepreneurs in developing countries to gain access to capital to develop their projects.
As a result, it induces confidence by being transparent. Instant access to financial information can hardly be tampered with having an immutable ledger on the blockchain. It also incentivizes people with token-based rewards to take part and earn money within digital eco-systems.
Web3 has enabled a more inclusive financial future-inclusion that not only does not cater to traditional financial barriers but also empowers individuals by giving them direct control over their funds. Equal chances will be given to disadvantaged communities globally.
