Definition of Web3
There is no official definition of what Web3 is but here are some references.From Wikipedia: Web3 (also known as Web 3.0) is an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web which incorporates concepts such as decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics.From Havard Business Review: Web3 is being touted as the future of the internet. The vision for this new, blockchain-based web includes cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DAOs, decentralized finance, and more. It offers a read/write/own version of the web, in which users have a financial stake in and more control over the web communities they belong to.From Ethereum.org: Web3 has become a catch-all term for the vision of a new, better internet. At its core, Web3 uses blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs to give power back to the users in the form of ownership. A 2020 post on Twitter said it best: Web1 was read-only, Web2 is read-write, Web3 will be read-write-own.
What is a Token?
A token is a record of ownership of an asset.Tokens can be fungible or non-fungible:
Fungible tokens are interchangeable (e.g. the US dollar, bitcoin).
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique (e.g. a piece of art).
What is Gas Token?
Gas tokens (sometimes called Native Tokens) are the token payments made to complete a transaction on a blockchain. Examples of gas tokens include Ether on the Ethereum Blockchain, or SOL token on the Solana Blockchain.
What is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a linked list of transactions stored on a network of computers. Blockchains are:
Decentralized: Transactions are on a network of computers (nodes).
Immutable: Transactions cannot be changed once committed.
Open: Transactions can be viewed by anyone.
What is Cryptocurrency?

However, you do need to...
pay network fees (e.g. Ether gas) which can be as high as bank fees on some blockchains
deal with large price fluctuations
be wary of scams and phishing attempts
