These four factors shaped the spread of past technologies. They’ll shape crypto adoption too.We need to: ✅ Make the benefits super clear ✅ Increase social prestige ✅ Push through regulatory obstacles ✅ Create apps that go viral What are our action items for these factors? Would love to know what you think.

4. Easy to see the benefits 👀 People need to experience the advantages firsthand. If an invention stays in a niche bubble, it won’t spread. How do we make onchain apps go viral outside of crypto? The internet needed apps like Google and Facebook. What’s the onchain equivalent?

3. Vested interests 🏛️ Even if a new technology is better, old players with power will fight to keep things the way they are. Example: British cities stuck with gas lighting in the 1920s while others moved to electric. Why? The government had too much invested in gas and placed regulatory obstacles in the way of the competing electric light companies. Sound familiar? Regulations slowed crypto down for years, but the tides are shifting.

2. Social value & prestige 👑 Sometimes, status matters more than economics. Think designer clothes - people pay more, not because they have to, but because they want to. How do we make being onchain feel prestigious? A status symbol? Something people aspire to?

1. Economic advantage 💰 People switch when the new thing is clearly better than the old one. Onchain gives: ✅ Cheap & fast transactions ✅ Permissionless access ✅ True asset ownership and more... But are we explaining these benefits in a way that makes sense to everyday people? The UX must be as smooth or smoother than what they’re already using.

History shows that new technology isn’t enough. Even if something is faster, cheaper, or more powerful, people won’t automatically adopt it. We need to understand what makes adoption happen and what slows it down. There are four key factors:

This week I started working on an app that helps people get onchain via real-life use cases. This is a super early version, I still need to fix the design and add more use cases!

I just became a huge fan of OnchainKit! If you're diving into onchain app development, this is hands down the best library to kickstart your journey.

What's the best way to get the Based Year 2024 NFT holders? Basescan returns 0 holders and for some reason considers the token ERC20: https://basescan.org/token/0x1ede50a3c7ca885c1726d273a82c8f1b8d5802c1

Hi frens, I have something exciting to share, my fun project, Based Year 2024 is live. It’s a generative NFT project that creates a unique activity graph for any wallet on Base, kind of like a digital footprint of your onchain year: https://basedyear.com/ We're at 2657 mints!

The new components dropped by @onchainkit make me SUPER hyped to start building cool onchain stuff.
