“Everybody wants 100M crypto users, but nobody wants to build no popular-ass apps (instead they retreat to infrastructure)” — 0xRonnieColeman
Chicken and egg problem. It’s still hard today to build frictionless apps that normies would want to use because the infrastructure is lacking and/or fractured. It’s going to be an awkward dance forward but we’re gonna make it.
Call me crazy, I don't think anybody should be building for 100m users, I think that's how you get a mediocre af product. I think we should be shooting for 10m users by way of best in class product. Call it a soft scaling limit of Dunbar's number as applied through the lens of usability.
Gaming will do this. Mainly through their web3 abstraction
We put UX first above all things at @charmverse. Of course, we have some great infrastructure frens that we get to rely on.
that said, smart contract+frontent alone kinda sucked? lots of ux problem has roots in infrastructure (eg. better l2 and wallet infra/tool chains mean more usable prod for mainstream adoption)
This is what happens when an entire industry puts technology ahead of users and their problems
