2. Addressing User Experience Challenges for Blockchain Adoption Beyond technological advancements, Strudwick recognizes the necessity of cultivating a global and inclusive community as a fundamental aspect of Starknet’s mission. He asserts that user adoption is crucial for Starknet’s success and has initiated efforts to engage emerging markets in regions such as Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. “We also have a lot of initiatives focused on developer acquisition in places like Africa,” he noted. While Europe has historically been a stronghold for Starknet, Strudwick points out that the Middle East and Africa represent some of the fastest-growing developer communities within the ecosystem. By increasing its presence in these areas, Starknet aims to foster a community-driven ecosystem that transcends geographical boundaries. This strategy includes forming partnerships with regional organizations to ensure that Starknet’s growth resonates with diverse audiences.

Despite Starknet’s technical advantages, Strudwick acknowledges that enhancing user adoption remains a challenge across the blockchain industry. He emphasizes the need for an intuitive user experience that simplifies interactions with dApps for non-technical users. “The first barrier to adoption we need to overcome is creating an intuitive user experience that makes it easy for non-blockchain-native users to engage with decentralized applications,” he explained. To improve the user experience further features like account abstraction, which allows users to pay transaction fees using any token, exemplify Starknet’s commitment to attracting a broader audience and increasing engagement with blockchain technology.
