Ethereum#Decentralized_finance mentions web3 which is related to DeFI Decentralized finance
? Michael Ten (talk) 23:12, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Michael Ten and Onel5969: I think this should be either a full-blown article with citations or a section in Web 2.0. I was indeed a bit surprised to learn Web 3.0 redirected to Semantic Web after hearing the term in context of decentralized systems, so I think it'd benefit readers to discuss the competing definitions either in an article of its own or in Web 2.0.

- I really don't have preference, I was simply marking it reviewed as a valid dab page. Onel5969 TT me 15:19, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Nardog and Onel5969: I think a disambiguation page or full blown article will be ideal for Web3. I doubt that the decentralized web is going away. I am just one mind though. Maybe consensus is different. Cheers and serenity. Michael Ten (talk) 16:50, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Did Web3.js played a role in claiming this name?
For someone late to this, it seems that web3.js played a role in claiming this name, but I did not dig any deep to affirm it. If someone knows more about the history, it would be good to know when and how the js came into play and it's role on it.

Other way around. Gavin Wood coined the term and the javascript team at the Ethereum Foundation used the term in their library. It should be renamed as it does not have too much relevance to the overall movement, it is a code repository for some specific functions specific to Ethereum development.
