Hashed Out V30: Learning the Language of Web3 and Why it Matters
From wallets to WAGMI: A friendly guide to Web3 terms, trust, and first steps.


Welcome to Hashed Out, your weekly guide to navigating the dynamic world of Web3, brought to you by Argot (www.argotagency.io). Whether you're taking your first steps into this digital frontier or already exploring it, our mission remains the same: to demystify the complexities of Web3 and equip you with the insights and resources you need to thrive.
Our vision extends beyond a simple newsletter—we aim to build a vibrant community where both enthusiasts and newcomers can gather, learn, and grow together. Think of us as your trusted sherpa on this journey, here to translate intricate concepts into clear, actionable insights. We'll connect you with the latest data and expert perspectives from the builders, researchers, and creators driving innovation in Web3.
Join us as we transform from curious explorers into true Web3 virtuosos, one issue at a time.
Hey there Hashers!
Every era of technology comes with its own language. In the '90s, we had email, downloads, and homepages. In the 2000s, we learned to like, follow, and swipe. Now, as Web3 begins to reshape how we interact online, a new vocabulary is emerging — and for many of us, it feels like trying to read something in a foreign language.
This week, we’re cutting through the confusion and offering something better than a dictionary: a real-world guide to the words, concepts, and questions that matter as you step into Web3.
Our main article breaks down the essential terms — from wallets and gas fees to DAOs and staking — and explains not just what they mean, but how to use them.
Our editorial explores why Web3’s strange new vocabulary matters — and how learning the lingo gives you power and confidence.
And our third feature answers a question on many minds: Is Web3 actually safe? We’ll give you a blueprint to explore with clarity, caution, and confidence — even if you’re not a tech person.
You don’t need to learn everything today. You just need the right starting point.
Feature Story
Web3 Words You Should Know: A Glossary for the New Digital Age
Welcome to Web3 — where words like staking, smart contract, and DAO float around like common knowledge… until you realize you’re not quite sure what any of them actually mean.
If that’s you, take a breath. You’re not alone. Every emerging technology comes with a new language, and Web3 is no different. But this isn’t gatekeeping — it’s just a learning curve. Once you understand a few key terms, the world opens up.
This guide doesn’t just define — it connects the dots. We’ll explain what these words mean and how to use them to start exploring Web3 safely and confidently.
