Stories of crypto-asset crashes, failures, and hacks have been all over the news over the past few months. From a niche investor area, crypto assets are gradually becoming a viable financial option for more mainstream digital activities. But what are the technological, legal and economic underpinnings of these new types of assets? How do blockchain-based web3 applications work, what is different to web2 and why should we turn our attention to them? How does AI enter the equation of web3 and how will it transform web3 digital operations? Has the law been able to keep up with such developments and is our legal system in a position to offer adequate protection to institutional and retail investors, consumers, and average users of digital technologies? Is the regulation of such innovative digital environments stifling or encouraging innovation? How should tech and law co-exist in order to secure a viable web3 future?
