At the time, Blockchain technology was seeing a meteoric rise in popularity, and the internet is one of the most unique sectors in which it is anticipated to demonstrate development. Because the networks that create Web 3.0 will run on decentralized protocols, the fundamental building blocks of blockchain and crypto technology, we can anticipate that there will be a significant convergence and a mutually beneficial relationship between these three technologies and other areas of study. Cryptocurrencies built for the Web 3.0 standard are decentralized initiatives that use smart contracts and automate transactions conducted over the internet. Therefore here is a list of the top ten Web3 tokens you should keep an eye on in August of 2022.
1. Helium (HNT)
- Market Capitalization: $1 billion

Helium features one of the most robust Web3 networks, surpassing over 300k nodes back in November 2021.
Each hotspot covers a particular percentage of the network as a whole. The mining operations are also carried out in the hotspots.
