Are any web3 builders here open sourcing their UI/Frontend layers? The pro open-sourcing case seems aligned philosophically and for ecosystem development but the potential security / phishing issues are a strong deterrent. (Just Google a famous dapp to see the phishing site ads)

That's interesting -- traditionally open sourcing infra (rather than UI) is the classic GTM for developers. Do think the effects are different for web3?

I think that if you're trying to create a protocol. Open sourcing the UI lowers the friction to and encourages more client exploration. IMO it's kind of the point of a lot of these decentralized experiences. Let a thousand UI/UX flowers bloom.

Open-sourcing UI is a good way to advance your infra if you're doing something client-facing because it structures client data in a way that's compatible with your UI. Doesn't make as much sense for enterprise
