Waves Platform was founded on the principle that blockchain is a technology of and for the people

The team at WAVES explains the following about the platform’s role in WEB3.

Waves Platform has embarked on a mission to become the first WEB3 company, developing internet technologies (AI, IoT, etc.) powered by blockchain technology to support a truly open and decentralised web.
