Business models integrate activities for value creation and capture. While ecosystems have emerged as potent catalysts for value creation through collaborative innovation, the common understanding is that value capture occurs within individual firms. This paper challenges this dichotomy. In an empirical study using a polar types case approach, we first illustrate how two ecosystems employ decentralization technology, specifically blockchain-based Web3 platforms, to elevate value capture to the ecosystem level. We then outline the implications beyond the blockchain domain using two non-Web3 cases. Specifically, we show—from the perspectives of value proposition, value constellation, and profit equation—how business models can rise to the ecosystem level.

To solve some of the challenges of traditional science, such as restricted access to funding, centralized governance, and siloed knowledge dissemination, decentralized science (DeSci) has emerged as a transformative approach facilitated by blockchain technology, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and Web3. However, the emerging field of DeSci, faces several challenges, such as the absence of an organizational framework to describe its inherent complexities. This study introduces the Decentralized Science Pyramid Framework (DSPF), an innovative adaptation of Mintzberg’s organizational structure, adapted to the unique demands and properties of DeSci. The DSPF delineates a structured model for DeSci projects that integrates technology, governance, community engagement, and application within a decentralized context. Through the introduction of the DSPF, this research highlights the operational dynamics of DeSci, focusing on the practical application of Mintzberg’s theories to address real-world scientific challenges. The case study of VitaDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization exemplifying the core principles of DeSci, demonstrates the practical applicability of the DSPF. This study not only advances the academic discourse on DeSci but also offers practical insights for practitioners, innovators, and policymakers, marking a substantial step toward realizing the full potential of decentralized science.

Blockchain wallets are not just digital equivalents of physical wallets; they are more akin to personal bankers, integrated seamlessly into the fabric of the Web3 experience. These wallets are the essential interface for interacting with the decentralised web, allowing users to manage their digital identities and assets. The type of Ethereum wallets is the same as the Bitcoin’s, which we have introduced in Section 2.3.

The article discusses the use of blockchain technology in the field of digital marketing, which has become possible in the context of Web 3 development. The study analyzes both the advantages and potential risks associated with the integration of blockchain into the marketing activities of companies, especially in the context of the new generation of the Internet - Web 3. It was found that the growing popularity of Web 3.0 and blockchain opens up new opportunities for marketing. These technologies can help brands build consumer trust, optimize advertising costs, increase the overall effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and create new opportunities for consumer interaction. The study showed that blockchain has a number of advantages for marketing, such as transparency of transactions, data protection, fraud prevention, absence of intermediaries, increased content monetization, smart contracts for automated companies, and decentralized marketplaces. However, disadvantages such as complexity of integration, low transaction and scaling speed, high implementation cost, and the need for a significant amount of energy have been identified. The article focuses on the blockchain's potential to combat counterfeiting and increase the transparency of advertising campaigns. The prospects for creating unique loyalty programs through tokenization and the use of NFTs, which allows companies to form deeper and more personal connections with customers, are also highlighted. The results are substantiated by practical cases of well-known brands that demonstrate the practical application of these technologies and emphasize their importance for modern digital marketing. The article emphasizes the potential role of blockchain in the transformation of the marketing industry, pointing out the need for marketers to adapt to the new reality to achieve a competitive advantage. Understanding and implementing these innovative technologies can help increase the effectiveness of marketing strategies and create a more attractive environment for consumers.

Blockchain technology holds great potential for the gaming industry, but its inherent complexity can create significant barriers for game developers. Throughput's "Ledger as a Service" (LaaS) solution addresses this challenge, making blockchain technology and its benefits accessible to the gaming sector. By minimizing costs and technical overheads, it allows developers to prioritize building innovative and immersive game experiences. This research presents Throughput, a blockchain platform designed to excel in the gaming environment. Its groundbreaking approach employs a single process to manage multiple ledgers from different blockchains. This maximizes efficiency, reduces complexity, and significantly lowers the costs associated with running a layer 1 blockchain – critical advantages for supporting the resource-intensive nature of games. Throughput's consensus algorithm is carefully engineered to handle the demands of real-time gameplay, ensuring high throughput, minimal latency, and fast transaction confirmations. The ability for a single node to maintain multiple ledgers can be a significant breakthrough and can enable a validator to run multiple blockchains on single node with unified consensus. This efficiency boost not only saves resources but promotes exciting possibilities for interoperability, cross-game collaboration, and seamless asset exchange across different gaming blockchains. Furthermore, Throughput's validators benefit from increased block rewards by validating blocks across multiple ledgers. This unique incentive model encourages the maintenance of a robust and secure network, benefiting the entire gaming ecosystem. In conclusion, Throughput simplifies the integration of blockchain technology for game developers and offers features tailored explicitly to the needs of the gaming industry. By offloading complex node management, Throughput empowers developers to focus on their core strengths – ultimately accelerating the adoption of blockchain in gaming and driving innovation throughout the sector.

"A Practical Guide to Web3, Blockchain, and Smart Contract Law is an essential handbook for lawyers, accountants, academics, business people, and others operating in the Blockchain space. This third edition of one of the first Blockchain law textbooks in the world effectively shines a light on what people perceive to be a "gray area" in the law by addressing a broad range of topics, including securities, tax, business structuring, proceeds of crime and anti-money laundering, smart contracts, estate issues, and much more. Each chapter of the book is written by a professional at the forefront of the world's legal, accounting, and academic Blockchain community. The analysis of this evolving area of law is thus approached through an interdisciplinary lens that provides a practical and holistic view of how emerging advances in Web3, Blockchain, and Metaverse law interact within new and existing legal frameworks."--Page 4 de la couverture

Multi-sided platform marketplaces like Alibaba, Alphabet, Amazon, and the Apple App Store (to name only those beginning with “A”) dominate many industries already, generating growth and profits that make them among the most valuable companies in the world. Yet a new suite of technologies collectively known as Web3, including blockchain and smart contracts, enable a new type of organization labeled a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that could perform many of the same functions as centralized platform companies, perhaps with an even stronger value proposition for the buyers and sellers in a DAO marketplace. This article uses and expands theories of substitutive competition and disintermediation to explain if and how DAOs might displace centralized platforms.

In Section 1.1, we have briefly touched upon the relationship between blockchain and AI. Here, a profound analysis reveals a seemingly paradoxical yet inherently complementary relationship between blockchain technology and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), also referred to as strong AI. Despite their contrasting value orientations, the juxtaposition of these two groundbreaking technologies heralds a symbiotic partnership pivotal for shaping the future of digital society and technological evolution.
