@base contributor #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

how do you see the balance between making crypto more accessible vs not completely putting a web2 wrapper on top.

crypto needs to be seen. that’s what makes it special.

I don't think it makes sense to put a web2 wrapper around onchain - it breaks the best parts of crypto in fundamental ways (e.g. composability)

I do think we should hold onchain products to the same quality bar as web2 (really high!) and that it's only just become possible to meet or exceed it thanks to infra progress

Has become a lot easier over the past cycle. Viable L2s, good user facing infra (eg @privy) and of course a lot of talented builders that were onboarded in the last cycle and have been heads down grinding in the bear.

agreed.

crypto needs to be seen & understood, not buried behind abstractions.

better terminology is crypto needs to be more practical.

its fundamental attributes r distinct, & hiding them undermines the full potential it possesses.

build better front ends, educate, & show users how to appreciate those attributes.

What's an example of a “web2 wrapper”?
