As a general note, it is important to listen to people who criticize web3. As you may have heard, “wE aRe sO eArLy.” This is cool to say because it makes you feel a little twinge of what Zuckerberg felt like in his dorm when he was building Facebook.
But, this also means that there are a lot of problems to overcome with web3. People who only praise web3 may shift your perspective away from reality and into a uber-optimistic perspective.
It kind-of sucks to hear about web3’s downfalls, especially if you are passionate about it. But, if you want web3 to improve, you have to know where it needs to improved.
And, if you are investing, it is even more important to understand its downsides. Ignorance is bliss....until you get burned. Be educated, not ignorant.
So, we went searching for the biggest problems in web3. Here’s what we found:
In general, web3 UX & onboarding can be slow, clunky, & complicated. This makes it especially difficult for newcomers to get accustomed to web3.
Granted, these are one of the downfalls of an early industry. It needs designers, effort, & time to mature. If you are a designer, there are web3 jobs for you!
Some even argue that web3’s properties will propel it to be a better UX than web2. Nonetheless, if web3 is going to take over the world, it needs to be simple to use.
It’s really hard to learn about web3. Most people learn by jumping from blog to YouTube video to whitepaper & so on. Educating yourself requires a lot of (inefficient) independent research.
In general, there is a lot of fluff information & not many reliable places for newcomers to start learning.
At Illini Blockchain, we are trying to become an entry point for newcomers. But, it will require a collective effort.
