Web3.0: A Review And Research Agenda

Abstract

This paper examines existing Web3.0 research published between 2003 and 2022. We uncover seven research themes that have been featured in previous research, as well as the key phrases associated with each theme, using a topic modeling procedure called Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). We emphasize the interaction of research themes that contribute to the understanding of a variety of solutions, applications, and use cases, such as metaverse and Non-fungible tokens (NFT). We conclude by proposing an exploratory agenda for future research based on pioneering research in the fields of Blockchain, decentralized networks, smart contracts, and algorithms.
