Blockchain technology is flourishing across a wide range of academic and business endeavors in domains such as banking, insurance, manufacturing, supply chain management, education, healthcare, and government operations, among others. Emerging as a decentralized digital ecosystem rooted in blockchain, Web3 has garnered significant attention in recent years. It embodies a slew of blockchain-based technologies and applications such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), and the Metaverse. Advocates posit that that Web3 can be a viable solution to the excessive centralization of data and content in the Web 2.0 era, while skeptics have expressed concerns about the potential regulatory hurdles and data ownership problems inherent to a decentralized web paradigm.

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for scholars to exchange research insights and findings on Web3 technologies and ecosystems. We invite pioneering researchers and thought leaders to contribute their empirical and theoretical works, thereby enriching the understanding of Web3 and fostering a collaborative academic milieu.

We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, inclusive but not limited to:

• Decentralized Finance (DiFi)
• Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
• Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
• Metaverse analysis and design paradigms across various business sectors
• Security and privacy issues for Web3 platforms
• Regulatory and legal issues for Web3 platforms
• Design and implementation issues of Web3 platforms
• Blockchain integrations in metaverse platforms
• Data management issues on blockchains
• Process management on blockchains
• Transaction mechanisms in cryptocurrency realms
