Went for a walk with @literature yesterday and he said something that resonated: "crypto has had mobile wallets, but it hasn’t had mobile products.” Such a simple insight, but a powerful one. Consumers tech is mobile, yet very few crypto products have made been mobile-first, as a first class experience. That is in part because of how difficult it is to work within the walled gardens of the App Store. But thanks to ingenuity of builders, that is changing. Warpcast, Blackbird and (soon) Zora, Kiosk and others are building mobile-first products onchain. Note: I’m defining mobile-first as an app store product vs. PWA because the app store is where the users are, is full featured, and PWA is for power users and lacks some features. 1/

Using Warpcast as an example: the pattern is to abstract crypto *almost entirely* but let it be seen through the cracks, just the right amount to surface its super-powers. Onboarding, users don't need to know Warpcast is onchain. Payment for certain types of onchain actions, like minting NFTs, happen in Warps (similar to an in-app currency.) But to transact with arbitrary onchain applications via Frames you get punted to Coinbase Wallet or a third-party mobile wallet, and here there's lots of friction to smooth out, which will happen in time, but the user gets to experience self-custody/ownership. 2/

Guild is another good example as it token-gates communities in web2 messengers like Telegram (Rafa's Folklore, etc). Chatbots in general could be one of the main bridges between web3 and mobile (also under utilized atm).

i personally don’t think consumer crypto is solely “mobile apps”. the reason mobile is compelling is it’s closer to irl than a putah. but the real missing piece is crypto enabled grass. the grass to touch with the irl crypto enabled device . this is more a cultural thing then tech imo
