African Web3 Developers Volume #9
Lets take a quick study about getting involved with mobile Web3:
Problem: Web3 is a fast-moving and competitive industry, but it’s hard for many to keep up. Those who do want to keep up often find themselves drowning in technical jargon and unable to make sense of the landscape.
Agitate: Mobile phones were the first major iteration of mobile technology. It was an enormous achievement — so we can’t overstate how critical it is for web3 to go mobile. The future of your business may depend on it.
Solve: The good news is that the future is already here. Solana, HTC and Etherum amongst others, are making great moves towards that with a whole suite of web3-optimized products and services that make the territory much less treacherous.
Helping you navigate this new terrain — whether you have an existing project or are just getting started.
As of 2019, it was forecast that over 2 billion people accessed the internet via their smartphones alone. The World Advertising Research Center (WARC) has predicted that 72.6% of internet users or nearly 3.7 billion people will access the web via smartphones by 2025.
Li Jin, co-founder at Variant Fund, mentioned in an article that because of the sheer amount of the world population that relies on mobile phones over desktop devices, she believes “there’s a huge potential to bring crypto to all smartphone users in the world.”
In many emerging markets, people only have access to phones rather than computers.
“I think web3 going mobile will be a bigger trend and one that is very important to getting crypto out to more of the mainstream,” said Paul Veradittakit a partner at Pantera Capital, focusing on venture capital and hedge fund investments.
Hence, there is definitely a potential in investing resources in mobile web3.
Snap! I bet you are reading this from your mobile phone 😅.
