With the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, more and more people are finding new ways to utilize these technologies. Cloudflare recently rolled out a new feature called Web3 that aims to make Web3 applications easier to use.

Web3 is a blockchain-based web technology stack for developing decentralized applications. It allows users to transact and communicate without middlemen, and perform automated operations through smart contracts. The Web3 technology stack includes multiple components, such as the Ethereum network, Ethereum wallet, Ethereum smart contracts, and more.

It is an open web platform based on blockchain technology, aiming to create a more decentralized, safer and more transparent Internet. The main goal of Web3 is to remove the centralized internet structure and return control and data ownership to users.

Now, Cloudflare has rolled out a new feature called Web3 that makes it easier to use Web3 applications. Web3 helps developers create and deploy decentralized applications and connect them to the Ethereum network.


Specifically, Web3 provides the following capabilities:

     1. Full node hosting: Web3 provides a full node hosting service that developers can use to easily connect to the Ethereum network and develop without running a node themselves.

     2. Wallet connection: Web3 supports Metamask wallet connection, allowing users to interact with their wallets.

     3. Event processing: Web3 provides event processing functions, allowing developers to monitor and process blockchain events, such as transaction confirmation and contract events.

     4. Smart contract deployment: Web3 provides a smart contract deployment function, allowing developers to easily deploy their smart contracts.

     5. API access: Web3 provides an API to access the Ethereum network, and developers can use it to perform various operations, such as querying balances, sending transactions, and so on.

     6. Integration testing: Web3 provides an integration testing function, which allows developers to easily conduct automated tests to ensure that their applications can run normally.

With Web3, developers can easily create decentralized applications and connect them to the Ethereum network. In addition, Web3 also provides many other useful functions, such as wallet connection, event processing and smart contract deployment, etc.

Web3 Gateway: Web3 Gateway is a distributed content delivery network that can transfer data between Web3 and Web2. Web3 Gateway can integrate Web3 applications with traditional Web applications, and convert Web3 data into standard HTTP requests and responses.

Distributed Web Gateway: Distributed Web Gateway is a distributed content delivery network that can transfer data between Web3 and Web2. The distributed web gateway distributes the content in the Web3 application to nodes around the world by using distributed storage technology, thereby improving performance and reliability.

ENS resolver: ENS (Ethereum Name Service) is a domain name resolution system based on the Ethereum blockchain. Cloudflare Web3 provides an ENS resolver that can map ENS domain names to the content of Web3 applications.

IPFS Parser: IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized file system designed to create a more secure and private Web. Cloudflare Web3 provides an IPFS resolver that can map IPFS hashes to the content of Web3 applications.

In conclusion, Cloudflare's Web3 feature provides developers with an easier-to-use and more direct way to connect to the Ethereum network, which is expected to further promote the popularity of Web3 technology.
