Good ux won’t save you

If your product solves a problem users will use it regardless of the ux

Ux matters when other solutions are competing for the same users. Most crypto products have not reached this stage yet

We need to build Netscape before we build arc browser

Get where you’re coming from but would argue that good UX needs to be prioritised more in web3. 

I’m biased because I am a UX designer, but I would argue that maybe web3 isn’t competing for the same user base within the space, but it’s competing with a wider range of products people use more generally. 

Web3 is catered for the converted most of the time - between setting up wallets, understanding gas fees, different networks, unintelligible smart contract functions and block explorers - usability is a total nightmare for anyone coming into it.

If we want mass adoption and more users / better product alternatives and new services, good UX is absolutely fundamental to that. 

It is isn’t difficult to implement either, it can be baked into development from the MVP to future versions. It’s an underutilised discipline in web3.
