Why Is Web3 Hiding From The World?

Web3 technology promises a decentralized future, but it’s still not well-known outside tech circles. Let’s explore why Web3 is such a hidden gem and how we can make it more accessible to everyone.

The Gap Between Web3 Tech and Everyday Users

Web3 is built on advanced technologies like different blockchains and complex coding languages. These are exciting for developers but can seem like a foreign language to most people. This creates a big gap — while developers are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, many people don’t understand the basics of how these technologies work or what benefits they offer.

Fun fact, only in Web3 on the project site’s landing page can include a technology stack. This choice reflects the project’s deep understanding of its target audience. However, it also symbolizes Web3’s discreet departure from the familiar realm of Web2.

Making Web3 More User-Friendly

One of the biggest hurdles in Web3 is the complexity of its tools. Think about digital wallets, private keys, and gas fees — all these terms can be overwhelming. However, there’s good news: newer technologies are emerging to simplify these processes. Tools like zkLogin and Torus are great examples of making the login process easier, which is a step towards welcoming more users into the Web3 space.

Community — Transparent or Opaque

Transparency is crucial in Web3 for building trust and security. It ensures that no single party has too much control and that everyone can see and understand what’s happening in the system. This is especially important in a field where financial transactions and contracts are often managed without a central authority.

However, the abundance of information, especially on platforms not indexed by mainstream search engines like Google, can make Web3 seem unapproachable. We need to find ways to organize and present this information more clearly to help newcomers understand and trust the system.

Web3 Is Shutting Itself Down

Today there are more than 5k+ active communities, 20k+ developers that monthly contribute to any Web3 repo on GitHub and 400k+ users that own crypto. And they all keep the engagement inside Discord, losing the potential of valuable knowledge…

In the world of Web3, community is paramount. It’s where ideas flourish, connections are made, and progress thrives. Knowledge serves as the lifeblood of this community — it fuels innovation and drives us forward into the future.

Web3 is about ownership, recognition, and fair distribution of rewards. Therefore, using Web3 tools, particularly those built for Web3, supports the philosophy Peeranha stands for and aids in the growth of our community. If we as a Web3 community don’t practice what we preach, why should the Web2 world care about the adoption of Web3 that we are building.

Peeranha’s Role in Democratizing Web3

Peeranha is here to bridge the gap between complex Web3 tech and everyday usability. It provides a simple, intuitive platform that connects users to the decentralized world. By making Web3 interactions smoother and more understandable, Peeranha helps bring this technology to a broader audience.

We’re building a decentralized forum with tools that let users own and profit from their knowledge. This not only supports the core principles of Web3 — ownership and fair reward — but also helps spread understanding and acceptance of Web3 technologies.

In summary, if we in the Web3 community don’t make our technologies more accessible and understandable, we can’t expect others to join us. It’s up to us to simplify and explain our work, making sure the next wave of digital innovation is open for everyone.
