Dear friends!

On behalf of our entire team, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas! 🎇

Happiness, love, peace and bright moments in your life! May all your most cherished desires come true this night 🎁

Thank you for watering the tree, like our posts (if not, then it's time to start doing it from now on) and support our project!

Thank you for being with us! ❤️

It's time to visit and water the bonsai!

He's thirsty in winter too 💤

You haven't watered your bonsai in a year. 😭

Maybe it's time?

Water 💦

Where did the art of bonsai originate? 🪴

Many sources indicate Japan as the birthplace of bonsai; however, this art form actually has its roots in China.

Nobody knows exactly when it appeared, but its history spans at least two thousand years.

The roots of bonsai likely trace back to the philosophy of Daoism ☯️

Daoists explored the influence of the surrounding world on the Dao and used miniature replicas of objects to manipulate their magical properties. Trees, being the largest and most long-lived living beings, became important symbols.

So why is Japan recognized as the homeland of this art? 🇯🇵

This is because bonsai actively developed in Japan, formulating key trends that added profound meaning to the very process itself.

The Japanese not only perfected plant care techniques but also developed an entire system of canons that include requirements for both the appearance of the plant, accessories and rules for presentation.

Have you noticed that the name of our project sounds similar to Web3?

We will discuss it later)

For now, let's explore the evolution of web technologies:

🟢 Web 1.0: The initial Internet. A stage where the internet was merely a platform for searching and viewing content. Decentralized.

🟢 Web 2.0: Centralized. Focus on content creation and sharing. There is a monopolization by large companies.

🟢 Web 3.0: Decentralization, user control, and automation of processes through blockchain technology.

Now, let's dive deeper into Web3:

🔵 Unlike Web 2.0, where data is stored on the servers of large companies (such as Facebook or Google), in Web 3, information is distributed across the network.

This means that no one controls everything at once.

🔵 Web3 uses technologies such as blockchain, virtual reality (VR), the Internet of Things (IoT), and open-source software to reduce the influence of large Web2 companies. Thanks to decentralization, users will have the ability to manage their content and data themselves.

🔵 A more secure internet: Users can manage their data and decide who to share it with.

🔵 Web 3 utilizes digital currencies (such as cryptocurrencies) and tokens to exchange value and participate in projects.

Haven't you watered bonsai with your friends yet? 👀

First of all, it's fun.

Secondly, every 10% of gems that your friend earns will be added to your account.

How do mini-apps work in Telegram? ✈️

Mini-apps in Telegram represent a unique format of interaction that does not require downloading and operates based on web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and utilizes the Telegram API for integration.

Roughly speaking, these are small websites/web games.

The main principle of mini-apps operation:

1️⃣ The user launches the app, after which it opens in a webview (web version).

2️⃣ At the launch stage, the app receives user data through the Telegram API, including the name, ID, and photograph.

This allows displaying an adapted interface that changes depending on the user’s actions.

Features of mini-apps:

🟢 Telegram API. The API provides developers with many functions for sending messages, processing user commands, and interacting with other participants. This significantly simplifies interaction with the messenger's functionality and makes user authorization easier.

🟢 They are often implemented through Telegram bots, which allows users to easily and quickly start interacting with the app. Some mini-games support a multiplayer mode, where players can compete with each other in real-time.

🟢 Payment systems. Mini-apps allow the creation of full-fledged online stores with payment through Google Pay, Apple Pay, or TON.

🟢 Security. Telegram ensures a high level of security: encryption, two-factor authentication.

🟢 Favorable conditions for developers. Telegram retains all income from in-app purchases for the authors.

Thus, mini-games in Telegram are a combination of bot technologies, APIs, and creative design, enabling the creation of engaging content directly within the messenger.

The main technologies underlying Web3:

🟢 Blockchain

This is a decentralized system for storing and transmitting information, where data is encrypted and combined into blocks, which are then stored on the computers of numerous users in the network.

The advantage of this system is that it makes data forgery or alteration virtually impossible.

🟢 Smart Contracts

These are code-based contracts that automatically execute upon the occurrence of certain conditions.

This eliminates the possibility of third-party interference, increases speed, and minimizes errors.

🟢 Decentralization

This implies the absence of a single governing center, making platforms and applications more resistant to censorship and attacks.

Instead, users can interact directly with one another.

There are also other technologies, such as:

🔘Cryptocurrencies, which provide new economic models

🔘NFTs, which allow for the tokenization of everything from works of art to in-game objects.

🟢 We discussed Web3 in detail in this post 😎

The bonsai is getting crazy from this fertilizer 😄

What is blockchain? 👀

It is a decentralized system for storing and transmitting information.

Now let's go into more detail:

Imagine a chain of blocks, where each block contains a small amount of information. Instead of storing data in one place, it is copied across numerous computers around the world.

Got the picture? 🤔

This is the main idea behind blockchain.

Each block has its own unique code, known as a hash. This hash links it to the previous block, so if someone tries to alter the information in one of the blocks, the hash will change, and everyone will see it. The blocks form a secure and transparent chain, where all the information is available for verification. This creates trust among network participants.

Blockchain = crypto? 💲

Not just that. Its capabilities extend far beyond. Blockchain is used for tracking deliveries, organizing votes, verifying identities, and much more.

Blockchain opens up new horizons, so it's important to stay informed ⌨️

What are smart contracts?

These are programs that automatically execute the terms of a contract when certain events occur.

Essentially, a smart contract acts as a digital intermediary that automatically enforces agreements between parties, eliminating the need for third parties, such as banks or notaries.

Where can they be used?

Almost anywhere: from financial transactions to managing intellectual property rights, as the main advantage of smart contracts is that they reduce time and costs, while also minimizing the risk of fraud 🙂
