Toronto, ON, Canada, 27th Jan 2026 — Blockchain entrepreneur and Web3 educator Jason Ansell has announced the release of his new book, The Dark Side of Web3, now available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats.
As decentralized technologies and digital assets continue to expand globally, increased attention has been placed on how open, permission-less systems operate under real-world conditions. The Dark Side of Web3 examines structural risk, system misuse, and unintended outcomes that have emerged alongside the growth of Web3 platforms and blockchain-based ecosystems.
The book provides a high-level analysis of recurring patterns observed across decentralized environments, including deceptive project behavior, impersonation activity, unauthorized wallet interactions, and infrastructure misuse. Rather than offering technical instruction, the publication focuses on contextual analysis of how these issues arise within trust-minimized systems and why they persist as adoption increases.
“Decentralized systems shift responsibility in ways that differ significantly from traditional digital and financial frameworks,” said Ansell. “This book was written to examine those dynamics and the challenges that emerge when users interact directly with open networks.”
Intended for a broad audience, The Dark Side of Web3 is positioned as an analytical examination of Web3 design, behavioral incentives, and user responsibility. The book is relevant to readers interested in blockchain infrastructure, digital asset markets, and the evolving role of decentralization in modern technology.
The Dark Side of Web3 is currently available on Amazon in multiple regions:
