Why even bother with web3? 🤔

Why Web3? 3 Massive Problems with the Internet 🌐 

We talk a lot about web3, the powerful features that the blockchain enables, and how it’s being applied in various industries — but it doesn’t come without issues, leaving many with the following questions:

Why build on the blockchain in the first place? What’s so great about decentralization? Is web3 even worth it?

To answer these questions, here are 3 trillion-dollar problems that the internet currently faces — and that won’t stop until web3 fixes them:

1. The platform problem: Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, & Twitch are great for building audiences… until they aren’t: how Twitter shut down our engineer’s app with 100k+ users (without warning).

2. International payments suck: Why would you make a wire transfer that takes forever, has terrible UX, and costs a lot in fees — when you can make global, lightning-fast payments with just a wallet address?

3. Purchases that you don’t own: When you buy a physical item, you can lend it, sell it, & do whatever you want with it. Why can’t you do the same with a digital version of the same thing? Same price, less rights.

But how does web3 really fix these problems (& many more)? Learn how in our talented engineer’s deep dive:
