The key difference between getting an email from platforms like LinkedIn (web2) and receiving a message through a web3 mailing system lies in functionality and user experience:

Web2 Email:
Limited Interactivity:
Traditional emails offer limited interaction beyond viewing content and clicking links.
Centralized Control: Some platform dictates the message content and format.
Separate Actions: Actions like changing passwords often require logging into the platform separately.

Web3 Mailing System:
Enhanced Interactivity:
Web3 emails can embed buttons or interfaces allowing users to take direct action within the message itself, such as changing passwords or locking accounts.

Decentralized Potential: Messages could potentially be sent directly between user wallets, bypassing centralized platforms.

Seamless Integration: Actions can be triggered directly using the user’s connected wallet, streamlining the process.

In essence, web3 mailing aims to provide a more interactive and user-friendly experience within the web3 ecosystem.

Here’s an analogy:

  • Web2 Email: Sending a physical letter, where the platform controls the content and you need to go somewhere else (e.g., call customer service) to take action.
  • Web3 Mailing: Sending a self-executing smart contract embedded in a letter, allowing actions directly within the message.
