| Summary: | Web 3.0 marks the beginning of a new era for the internet, characterized by distributed technology that prioritizes data ownership and value expression. Web 3.0 aims to empower users by providing them with ownership and control of their data and digital assets rather than leaving them in the hands of large corporations. Web 3.0 relies on decentralization, which uses blockchain technology to ensure secure user communication. However, Web 3.0 still faces many security challenges that might affect its deployment and expose users’ data and digital assets to cybercriminals. This survey investigates the current evolution of Web 3.0, outlining its background, foundation, and application. This review presents an overview of cybersecurity risks that face a mature Web 3.0 application domain (i.e., decentralized finance (DeFi)) and classifies them into seven categories. Moreover, state-of-the-art methods for addressing these threats are investigated and categorized based on the associated security risks. Insights into the potential future directions of Web 3.0 security are also provided. |
