First of all, thank you for picking out this book.
This book was written with the intention of being distributed as a paper and e-book, but the industry moves very quickly and information becomes outdated from the moment it is written, so for the most up-to-date information, I encourage you to subscribe by reading this QR code.

I’ll update the information once a year, assuming that a new and improved version will be released.
This book will be a comprehensive resource for all newcomers to study, starting with blockchain technology and explaining a group of buzzwords that have gradually started to become popular, such as Web 3.0, NFT, DeFi, etc. recently.
While it is easy to dismiss blockchain = cryptocurrency = fishy and irrelevant to you, it is important to have even a rough idea of how these technologies are going to transform our lives.
While this is certainly important, the speed of technological innovation in this field is remarkable, making it very difficult to keep up with the information and grasp the overall picture.For this reason, I wrote this book with the aim of capturing the broad outlines of the various fields arising from blockchain technology, which is the underlying technology of Web 3.0, and to provide a brief overview of the latest trends in each of these fields.
Japan is a very good country and is counted as one of the developed countries, but it is a backward country in this field. In the U.S. and other countries, young graduates are entering the Web 3.0 market one after another, claiming that it is the most exciting movement of a lifetime since the Internet, but Japan still lacks the human resources, companies, and money to enter this field.
In fact, there is a huge difference in literacy between those who have become interested in the blockchain industry via recent buzzwords and those who are on the cutting edge of the industry. The most common question I get from the big shots after an hour of explaining blockchain and Web 3.0 to them is, "Do you have any book recommendations?”
The speed of evolution of Web 3.0 is so fast that it is difficult for those who do not try to get information by themselves to keep up with the speed of Web 3.0. The creator of the blockchain, Satoshi Nakamoto, once said, “If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry. “
If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry. - Satoshi Nakamoto,
I was tempted to say, “Even if you publish the latest information in book form, it will be obsolete from that moment on, you idiot.” but I stifled the urge and decided to write this book as an answer to this question, a kind of antithesis.
Around 2017, I was touched by the news that a digital cat called CryptoKitties sold for $13 million, and since then I have been wondering why a digital cat could sell for such a high price, I got exposed to the technical workings and philosophy of blockchain, and I have been immersed in this industry.
Since then, I have been following the trends in the blockchain industry, and as I am involved in business development, I feel that in 2021, the NFT was very active, and DeFi and DAO will be in full swing, and the world will be at an all-time high. The recent renaming and rebranding of "blockchain" as "Web 3.0" has changed the impression and further increased the buzz.
By properly communicating the overview and potential of Web 3.0 and bridging the deep divide between Japan's innovators and the decision makers, we hope to see the Web 3.0 trend in Japan grow stronger and bigger.
Finally, I hope that this book will be a good educational tool for all those involved in blockchain, NFT, and Web 3.0, and that it will help them to utilize blockchain in the future. I hope that this book will help even one more person to realize the potential of blockchain and contribute to this industry.
