Busha is prioritizing users’ privacy and direct ownership of data; which are the core attributes of web3. According to the co-founders, Micheal Adeyeri and Moyo Sodipo, they reinstated that “we seek to create a crypto-driven economy where there is fairness, transparency and access.”
As an advocate for web3, they believe this will cause an overhaul of the general web built for users, which is why the company is taking steps to aid ease of integration into the new ‘modern world’.
A lot of people might wonder if web3 is just a theoretical hypothesis with no underlying prospects and while the possibility of this cannot be entirely ruled out, it is important to acknowledge that blockchain and cryptocurrency are the core technologies that have enabled decentralized finance, which is a subsector of web3.
However, understanding that web3 is so much more than a one-way train is very important, and that is why Busha contsantly ensures that its users are well informed on the possibilities that lie within web3.
