people are not bullish enough about mini apps

I feel we’re at a tipping point for truly crypto native apps. Apps where crypto is not the feature but the rails that make it work.

I've been building in crypto for 4 years and a huge challenge for mainstream adoption has always been the inevitable tradeoff between leveraging crypto’s unique strengths and maintaining good ux

every useful thing like sign in with wallet and sending transactions became less useful, less appealing, less user friendly since it had to be hacked together to work with existing browsers and apps and app stores and operating systems. 

We’ve come a long way. But the core reason for this trouble imo is that for wallets to fulfill their promise they need to be built into the infrastructure that powers our apps, not on top.

Crypto = rails. The useful parts of crypto like permissionless ownership, transactions, identity, are only useful when they're readily available for your app and everyone using it, like a public utility.
