#Gate2025年度报告 Not familiar with Web3? You're falling behind! Understand Web3 in one article: the nine major tracks and seize the core opportunities for the next three years.

If you're still confused about what Web3 is really about, this "Nine Major Tracks Overview" can help you quickly build a framework. Blockchain is not just about buying coins; it is a whole new economic system, and these nine tracks are the infrastructure and business opportunities of the future digital world.

01 Main Public Chains (L1): The foundation and highways of the digital world.
Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana
Function: Handle security and value settlement; the backbone of Web3.
02 Layer 2 Scaling Solutions: Ethereum’s “highways.”
Examples: Arbitrum, Optimism, StarkNet, Base
Function: Reduce costs and increase speed; the biggest growth engine in the future.
03 Stablecoins: Web3’s “value scale” and global dollar liquidity.
Examples: USDT, USDC, FDUSD
Function: Cross-border payments, fund management, hedging assets.
04 DeFi (Decentralized Finance): The banking system on the chain.
Examples: Uniswap, Aave, MakerDAO
Function: Lending, trading, interest rate mechanisms; building an open financial ecosystem.
05 RWA (Real-World Asset On-Chain): Digitization of traditional assets, the biggest trend in the next 3 years.
Examples: BlackRock BUID, Ondo Finance
Function: Bring government bonds, gold, funds onto the chain to attract institutional capital.
06 NFT (Digital Ownership): Not just avatars, but carriers of identity, membership, and IP.
Examples: BAYC, Pudgy Penguins
Function: Brand assets, community economy, digital identity verification.
07 GameFi & Chain Games × Economic Systems.
Examples: Axie, Pixels
Function: Assets can be truly “owned,” the largest user entry point in Web3.
08 AI + Crypto: Intelligent economy tracks, future focus for institutions.
Examples: Bittensor (TAO), Render
Function: Computing networks, AI incentive systems, decentralized AI.
09 Meme: Community sentiment and virality.
Examples: DOGE, Pepe
Function: Traffic, culture, narratives; the engine of attention in Web3.

Summary: The nine major tracks form a complete map of Web3, not fragmented information. To truly understand Web3, you must view it from the “tracks” perspective, not just “what coins are rising today.” When you understand these nine tracks, you will know: which are long-term value (L1, RWA, AI), which are short-term opportunities (Meme, Chain Games), which are stable assets (Stablecoins), and which are trend tracks (L2, AI+Crypto).
Frameworks are more important than news. Understanding the structure allows you to truly position yourself in the next three years. #预测市场争议
