Challenges Faced by Web3
Reasons for Slow User Growth:
High Technical Barriers: The core technologies of Web3.0—blockchain, smart contracts, and DApps—are overly complex for the average user. Learning and mastering these technologies require time and specialized knowledge, which discourages most users.
Poor User Experience: Most current Web3 applications lack user-friendly interface and user experience (UI/UX) design. The operations are complex and unintuitive, making it difficult for non-technical users to use these applications seamlessly.
Security and Trust Issues: While blockchain technology itself is highly secure, frequent security incidents involving cryptocurrencies and smart contracts have lowered users' trust in Web3 applications. The lack of comprehensive security measures makes users concerned about the safety of their assets and data during usage.
Regulatory and Policy Uncertainty: Global regulatory policies remain inconsistent, and countries have differing attitudes toward blockchain and cryptocurrencies. This uncertainty hinders the widespread adoption and promotion of Web3.
High Costs and Low Efficiency: Developing and operating Web3 applications is expensive. Transactions on public chains like Ethereum involve high fees and slow transaction speeds, which significantly impact user experience and application practicality.
Key Pain Points in the Web3 Market:
Adoption Barriers: Due to technical complexity, poor user experience, and security concerns, Web3 faces significant challenges in mass adoption. Ordinary users struggle to understand and trust decentralized applications, which limits market expansion.
Fragmented Ecosystem: The Web3 ecosystem consists of numerous blockchain platforms and protocols with no unified standards or interoperability. This fragmentation forces developers and users to frequently switch between platforms, increasing learning and usage costs.
Liquidity and Value Conversion Issues: Asset and value conversion within the Web3 world remains inconvenient. Users face high transaction fees and complex operations when transferring assets between platforms, hindering the free flow of value.
Lack of User Education: There is a lack of effective channels and tools to educate users about Web3. Limited understanding of Web3 among users leads to low acceptance of new technologies and applications.
Unstable Economic Models: Many Web3 projects rely on token-based economic models, which are still immature and highly susceptible to market volatility. This creates uncertainty regarding project sustainability and user profitability.
For the Average Individual, There Are Three Main Ways to Enter Web3.0:
Deep Understanding of Blockchain Technology: Blockchain is the core technology of Web3.0. Individuals need to understand its principles and applications. Developers must acquire knowledge of blockchain architecture, cryptography, data structures, smart contracts, and Web development languages that support Web3. For ordinary people, the strong learning abilities and knowledge structure required can be a significant barrier.
Purchasing Digital Currencies: Individuals can quickly buy and sell digital currencies through OTC (Over-the-Counter) or cryptocurrency platforms to gain profits from Web3.0 currencies. However, while pursuing high returns, individuals face considerable investment risks and may expend significant energy on cyclical income opportunities.
Participating in Relevant Crypto Activities: Activities such as developer competitions, smart contract challenges, and cross-border asset exchanges allow individuals to earn digital currency rewards. Through these activities, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of digital currencies and smart contracts in Web3.0. However, the cognitive barrier is high, the time investment is significant, and the mental workload can be exhausting.
