Nothing like hands on research haha What is it you are looking to understand from this group? General motivations or anything specific?

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.

The “until it’s done, tell none” quote I’ve seen posted a few times, easier said than done though!

Reading The Post Web by Outlier Ventures has proved interesting, particularly from a Web3 UX point of view. Web3 as a 'backend revolution' never intended for direct human interaction, but simply a set of new protocols being one of the interesting arguments. It does make you consider UX in web3 systems, and whether we are expecting too much of new users, that the learning curve is too steep. Between understanding wallets, gas fees, different chains, unintelligible smart contract function and blockchain explorers - it's a total nightmare for usability to newcomers. The question is why Web3 when Web2 meets the current needs for many people?

For clarification, this concept is not associated with Uniswap. It was simply an idea I had from how a watch might be integrated into crypto, and Uniswap is my favourite DeFi platform, so wanted to combine the two as a design experiment.

Apple Watch concept for @uniswap I'm really interested in how wearable tech and crypto can come together. Utilising the heart beat sensor from the Apple Watch, Uniswap can sense if you are under stress, asking you to complete a Breathe exercise to calm down before proceeding with a transaction.
