Interesting proposal. What do you have against the name web3?

1. Avg consumer doesnt know what "web2" is. That's an insider thing. 2. "onchain" is like the new "online" – it's a state with a value proposition. 3. I can see my 65 y/o dad saying "but is that onchain? and not "but is that web3?" 4. "chain" speaks to a fundamental technical property. "3" is wholly conventional.

I like it. I can see it. Seems like in crypto we have to change our terms every couple of years. Hope that doesn't have to happen again with onchain.

Haha. We don't really "have" to, but I think people are feeling around for what will "stick". To me, onchain captures the core value prop of credible neutrality (there's a sense of security in the word chain) and the other stuff is trying to find what will stick
