Web 2.5 is a transitional phase that combines the convenience and ease of use of Web2 with the advanced technologies underlying Web3. In Web 2.5, users can enjoy decentralized benefits such as transparency and data privacy, without leaving the centralized ecosystem they are already familiar with.
For example, users can use NFT marketplaces like OpenSea to purchase digital artwork using traditional payment methods, without needing to understand the technical details of blockchain.
Additionally, platforms like Patreon give content creators the option to interact directly with fans, while supporting familiar fiat payment methods.
This concept aims to overcome the barriers faced by Web3, such as technical complexity and low adoption among the general public. With Web 2.5, users can start exploring blockchain features gradually through a more familiar interface. 2.5 is a transitional phase that combines the convenience and ease of use of Web2 with the advanced technologies underlying Web3.
