Web3 Working Group is a nonprofit organization in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status. Our purpose is to educate about web3 infrastructure and how it's distinct from financial services in the cryptocurrency industry. We educate about how web3 infrastructure will decentralize the web and permanently restore user control of cyberspace, replacing centralized control with transparent and permissionless protocols through incentives aligned with users.
