🌍 The transition from Web3 to Web4 is not just a technological change, but also a cultural and human one. Aptos Blockchain, with its high-performance architecture, reflects how energy industries - Shell International and YPF in Latin America - seek to optimize resources, reduce costs, and expand their global impact. In this intersection, female leadership emerges as a vector of trust and resilience, capable of connecting energy with digital intelligence.
⚡Web3 and Web4: Continuity and Gesturing
Web3: Decentralization, DeFi, Traceability, and community participation.
Web4: Multisensory integration, agentic architectures inspired by the brain, and convergences with quantum computing.
Energy analogy: Shell and YPF diversify their energy matrix (oil, gas, renewables), just as Aptos diversifies its DeFi portfolio (DEXs, loans, stablecoins, liquid staking).
📑Curatorial capsules of the Aptos course.
Diem Project: Introduced the Move language, reimagined the global flow of value, and formed the team that launched Aptos.
BlocksSTM: parallelizes transaction execution, like energy diversification that multiplies efficiency.
Transaction cost (0.00000000005): digital optimization comparable to the energy efficiency sought by Shell and YPF.
DeFi Ecosystem in Aptos: DEXs, stablecoin loans, and liquid staking, reflecting resilient energy portfolios.
Leading projects: Hyperion, thala, and Capybara; while Echoprotocol does not feature as a benchmark.
👩💼Biographical capsules: Executive women at Shell and YPF.
Sinead Gorman - Global CFO of Shell
Responsible for global financial strategy, integrating sustainability and equity criteria in capital management. Her role is comparable to the Orchestrator in MAP (Modular Agentic Planner): Coordinates resources, assesses risks, and ensures precision in objectives.
María del Carmen Fernández - Shell Latin America
Key executive in renewable energy programs and corporate social responsibility. Her profile connects with the logic of Web3: Community participation, inclusion, and traceability of energy projects.
Directives at YPF - Argentina
Women leaders in energy transition and technology innovation projects. They embody the vision of Web4, where gender diversity strengthens institutional resilience and trust in hybrid systems.
🌐 Gender perspective and continuity.
Female leadership at Shell and YPF is not accessory: it is a gesture of the future. In Web3 and Web4, gender diversity becomes a structural principle, ensuring that technological and energy innovation is inclusive, equitable, and sustainable.
✨Conclusion
This article proposes a curatorial map where Web3 and Web4 engage with energy and diversity. The biographical capsules of executive women at Shell and YPF show how female leadership is key to sustaining the transition towards more resilient systems, both in blockchain and energy.
