This repository is a beginner-friendly Web3 handbook written primarily in Chinese, with an English version also available. The stated goal is to explain Web3 concepts in plain language without pushing any investment advice, token price opinions, or technical assumptions. The authors are explicit about what the handbook does not do: it does not recommend projects, does not predict prices, and does not assume the reader can write code. The handbook is organized into five parts, each building on the last. Part one establishes basic intuition: what Web3 is, what a blockchain is, how public chains and scaling layers relate to each other, and what gas fees are. Part two covers wallets and identity, explaining addresses, private keys, seed phrases, the difference between software wallets and hardware wallets, and what it means to sign a transaction. Part three explains digital assets: tokens, coins, stablecoins, and NFTs. Parts four and five move into applications and safety. The applications section covers decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized exchanges and the automated market maker model behind them, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). The trading and safety section compares centralized and decentralized exchanges and walks through common scams and how to avoid them. An appendix provides a glossary and a list of recommended resources. All fifteen chapters are marked as draft-complete. The project is licensed under CC BY 4.0, meaning anyone can reuse the content as long as they credit the source. Contributions via issues or pull requests are welcome, and the authors ask that anyone proposing a new chapter open an issue first to align on the approach before writing.
