The future of the Internet is formed to be promising, and there is no doubt that Blockchain and Web3 technologies were at the forefront of this innovation, and the promise of decentralization, security and financial sovereignty. However, despite all its developments, the collective adoption of technology is still far. The main perpetrator? Bad user experience. Although the protocols of the interconnection are improved significantly, the process of transferring assets and interaction through multiple chains is still very complex for institutional and valleys.
Latter Operating operating report across the 2024 series It highlights that the greatest challenge to adoption is that high contact users when they move in Blockchain. As of today, users need multiple portfolios, manually signature on many transactions, and mobilization of complications when determining the optimal path to transfer assets between chains. The shortcomings forced these users to silos in the ecosystem instead of encouraging them to explore more interactions across the series.
When comparing the Web2 experience with the Web3 experience, the difference is day and night. Take traditional financial transactions as an example. There is still a lot of complexity in Web2, but web2 is better to hide it, which means that users can navigate this space without thinking about the back interface. For example, when sending money through the payment application, users do not need to disturb bank settlement layers or correspondence protocols or verify different clearing mechanisms. Web3, compared, puts a lot of this burden on users, which makes it necessary to understand the back interface and thus forcing them to deal with complex transactions approvals, the security risks concerned, and the distinctive symbol management systems. This has been good so far for an audience of encryption lovers who are keen to understand the technique they work on. However, since the WeB3 ecosystem is looking to expand its scope to the base of global users, the industry must rethink this user experience to reject the attention of the average person who has no previous dealings with Blockchain.
Increased operation pain – what prevents Web3 from going to the main current?
There is no denial that the interconnection capacity solves some technical restrictions of Blockchain technology. However, for users, the experiment still leaves much of what is desirable. Recent data indicated this 85 million people all over the world use Blockchain portfolios. However, despite the increasing adoption, the challenge of fragmentation of the wallet is still a flagrant issue. Unlike WEB2, one login provides access to multiple services, Blockchain requires users to maintain different portfolios of different ecosystems. This makes the reactions across the chain painstaking, because the alteration experience between multiple portfolios is neither intuitive nor smooth.
The management of the governor across the chains is the main friction point for users. Although the regeneration of transactions has reduced the multiple signature burden, users still need to switch wallets when interacting through different groups. This process is not only strenuous, but also increases the possibility of human errors – such as approval of the wrong contract by mistake or sending assets to an incorrect address – to the possible loss of funds. Unnamed inter -operational ability should mean that users transfer assets and interact across chains without the need to constantly replace the portfolio or move in complex complications that are still manually.
Security concerns hold the issue of web3 more. With a total of $ 2.7 billion, it was lost in the exploits of the bridge through the series from July 2021 to August 2024 aloneIt should not be surprising that many users visit the transfer of assets via Blockchains due to the fear of breakthroughs or the failure of transactions. when One error can lead to the loss of permanent assetsIt is not surprising that experienced users remain careful when engaging in chain transactions. Although great steps have been taken in the face of these challenges, it is necessary that the inter -operating solutions be a factor in the differences between chains to build confidence, ensure security and reliability and a smooth experience for ordinary users.
The dam -based dam dam: a new approach to UX
One of the emerging solutions to the Blockchain user experience crisis is The intention protocols/men based on solutions. These protocols operate in the form of a chain abstraction “An intention” or a specific goal that the user wants to achieve in the seriesFor example, switching symbols between two chains without having to move in the complications of the crossed chain itself. Instead of having to determine a bridge, sign multiple transactions manually, then monitor the process until the transaction is complete, users are required to simply determine their intention, and implement mechanical solutions in the most effective way. The solutions to strip the series based on intent have become increasingly common, as it is possible that many products based on ingredients such as pieces of puzzles to form the final form of gradually stripping the chain.
For example, if the user wants to exchange ETH on the ETHEREUM for USDC on Solana, the solution to solutions has the ability to determine the best path, align all the necessary approvals, then complete the transaction-all this without asking the user to make any technical decisions. This greatly reduces the high level of users facing friction and improves safety by reducing errors due to manual interventions.
The bridging protocols around the intent/solutions are not only related to simplifying transactions; They are also about making Web3 reactions feel smooth as traditional Web2 experiences. Through these tasks that deal with the protocol -based protocols, such as improving the path and implementation, users no longer need anxiety about the basic infrastructure because they simply get the desired result.
Make the web3 back interface invisible: Is stripping the chain and ZKPS is the solution?
In order for Web3 to a stage of mass adoption, the basic complications that users must currently transfer must be canceled. While the solutions -based bridge protocols improve the interfering operating ability across the chain, the chain can be implemented and the zero knowledge is proven in several other ways to make the web3 UX a total. While stripping the chain makes Blockchain reactions smoothly, allowing ordinary users to interact with DAPS without worrying about the basic infrastructure, the ZKPS (ZKPS) allows to verify information without revealing the same information, and giving individuals and organizations that their information is safe. These technologies eliminate the need for users to switch networks, asset bridge, or manage different symbolic standards. In addition, these developments transmit Blockchain technology beyond just technical innovation and a system that works well. If it is not really clear, then it should now be that the most successful technology is not the most complicated – it is people who do not even realize that they use. This is reflected in the popularity of these Technologies, which already gain traction.
Web3 has spent years and significant resources looking for solutions to improve expansion, security and inter -operational capacity as well as confidence building. It is now time for a sharp focus on the advanced needs of users and making this technology available for ordinary users. If the Web3 Ecosystem really wants to run the following billion, then it is time for user experience to be a major priority and the focus turns from just building infrastructure.
It cannot be said in any clear words – the user experience is the prevailing key to adoption. Solutions such as solutions -based bridge protocols, stripping chain, and demonstrate zero knowledge a fundamental shift in how users start interacting with different Blockchains. By giving priority to these innovations, the Web3 ecosystem is on a road that becomes a smooth web3 future as we all expect with Web2. After all, a billion Blockchain technology will not adopt because of what he can do – only the prevailing adoption will witness when individuals can deal with it without thinking about it.
