Web3 Authentication

Definition

Web3 Authentication refers to methods of verifying user identity and granting access to decentralized applications and services using cryptographic keys and blockchain technology. Unlike traditional Web2 authentication, which relies on centralized servers, Web3 authentication typically uses a digital wallet to sign transactions or messages, proving ownership of an address without revealing personal data. This approach offers enhanced privacy, security, and user control over their digital identity. It is a fundamental component of the decentralized web.
