True. There’s nothing yet. Who do you think is the most likely to come up with it?

An individual or team who’s great at UX, understands the need for technology like crypto, deeply cares about fixing its flaws and isn’t apologetic about them, has the skills to deliver a working system which scales, and most importantly, doesn’t have a cavalier attitude in the style of a postmodernist or postrat.

You have to start by: “what service do I provide for users” before figuring out which tech to use and what will the UX look like.

And what problem do web3 users face on a daily basis? Also, what problems are there in the real world that NEED web3 to solve them?

That’s a good question to ask once a specific technology is actually working well, and you have evidence that people are using it to solve a problem. Then you can use the answer to that question to market or sell that technology to a larger audience. Many crypto technologies are not yet at that stage.

Before the stage where you can apply analysis methods to find out what problems a technology solves, you need to apply abductive techniques (i.e. design thinking, systems thinking) to understand the dynamics of the sociotechnical system you’re trying to intervene in, and points of leverage where you can affect change

Crypto technologies are still in their infancy in the sense that technologists are still feeling for an understanding of the sociotechnical systems they’re intervening in (i.e. global financial markets and monetary systems), without yet understanding what makes them tick or where there may be points of leverage.

People who are schooled in financial markets, economics, and monetary systems are often mocked for their critiques of cryptoeconomic systems designed by those who are epistemic trespassers. And mocked in a cavalier, postmodern fashion. I think a team that takes the critique to heart will make headway.
