1 Idea From Others

  1. Arpit Sharma, Head of Ecosystem at AethirCloud , Builder of decentralized GPU compute solutions for Web3 & AI, posted:

"Don't let your Web3 users vanish into the abyss of inactivity!

Been there, built that, and definitely lost a few leads along the way in Web3.

The biggest leak in your Web3 funnel isn't always product-market fit; it's often human-market fit. We get so deep in the tech, we forget the basics:

1. Stop being cryptic: Your awesome dApp means nothing if users can't grasp its value instantly. Simplify your messaging.

2. Onboarding friction kills: Wallet connect issues, complex gas fees, multi-step processes? Each one is a potential drop-off. Streamline, simplify, support.

3. Community isn't just hype: It's your earliest user base, your feedback loop, and your nurture channel. Engage authentically, provide real value, and answer questions. Even the "dumb" ones.

4. Follow-up is king: In a fast-moving space, a prompt, personalized response can be the difference between a new user and a lost opportunity. Don't ghost your leads!

5. Web2 UI/UX wins: Your UI doesn't have to look "web3". We already have awesome UI frameworks in Web2 that work really well. Stick to them.

Your web3 app shouldn’t feel like a different environment. You don't need to bring the "onchain" experience to the front end. Make it seamless.

- Look at how Axiom did it; your swaps are replaced by buy and sell buttons.

- Your wallet is inside the app; you're not forced to connect a 3rd-party wallet.

-This is the reason they gained so many users so fast."
