@eigenlayer @usecapsule Starting to think API keys are not what we’re meant to be building with…

Slovaye2 years ago

@eigenlayer @usecapsule Hey Nader, when you mention passkeys with @usecapsule , it is as a social login authentication right? Or is it passkey as a signer of a smart wallet ? Awesome showcase though ! 🔥

Livestreamed onboarding my college friend Elvi to Farcaster! She's not in crypto so was great answering her questions about what Farcaster is, how it's different than other social networks, showing the crypto wallet every user gets to receive/send funds, and mini apps

Duolingo is one of the best examples of good onboarding in an app. Onboarding - 7 questions to understand the user - Creates a personalised learning plan - Collects contextual data (like where the user hear about the app) - Introduces key features like widgets Paywall - Smooth transition from onboarding to paywall - The paywall feels like part of the experience, not a sales screen - Personalised based on the language selected - 7day free trial for the annual plan One of the most important aspects of an app is onboarding, so make it as interactive as possible.

Crypto wallets are no longer just wallets. They’re the front door to a decentralized internet. In this episode, Phantom CEO Brandon Millman joins a16z crypto Investment Partner Jay Drain and host Robert Hackett to unpack how crypto wallets are evolving into full-blown consumer finance platforms — and why they may be the most credible candidates to become the internet’s next super apps. We explore Phantom’s journey from a Solana-first wallet to a multi-chain platform, why wallets are uniquely positioned to win trust around money, and how features like onchain trading, perps, social feeds, prediction markets, and payments are reshaping what people expect from a consumer finance app. The conversation also dives into: - Why starting with finance may be a better path to a super app than starting with social - How Phantom thinks about UX, trust, and security in crypto - The rise of perpetual futures (perps) and prediction markets - What the FTX collapse meant for Solana — and the counterintuitive silver lining - Whether AI agents could one day replace apps and browsers If you’re curious about where crypto, fintech, and consumer apps are headed next — and why wallets may become the most important interface on the internet — this episode is for you. with Brandon Millman jay Robert Hackett

Hyperliquid’s founder jeff.hl just said it clearly: On-chain perps for anything + a mobile app built for normies = a billion-dollar opportunity. The formula is simple: 1. Seamless fiat onboarding 2. A UX that non-crypto users actually love Hyperliquid + HIP-3 already provide the full liquidity + infra. Builders only need to nail the front-end and user experience. This is the future: global, permissionless finance in your pocket and builders can monetize every trade that flows through their app. Hyperliquid isn’t just a DEX. It’s the platform where the next fintech empires will be built. Hyperliquid.

We asked Antonio García Martínez (agm.eth) (Director of Base, Coinbase 🛡️) about how and where most crypto applications are running ads. "The answer is nowhere. And that's the problem, the growth guy's like, this is all great, but where's the other leg of the flywheel?" "We've really focused on compelling crypto consumer experiences (at Base) where the wallet is present and where the user can engage with things on chain, whether it be content, coins, NFTs, lending and borrowing, sending money to their family overseas, whatever it might be."

The intersection of AI and crypto isn’t just hype - it's the unlock! Dhawal @HeyElsa.ai 🇮🇳 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 and the team at HeyElsa realized the real barrier to Web3 adoption isn’t tech, it's user experience. Wallets are still clunky. Jargon is everywhere. Getting someone from downloading an app to just transacting is a minefield. But AI changes the equation. Imagine hiding gas fees, NFTs, and token mechanics behind a smooth, app-like flow. AI as the layer that abstracts the chaos... So onboarding the next billion isn't just a dream, it's a UI decision.

At #DOP, we prioritize data ownership with a simple, user-friendly experience, free from the typical complexities of blockchain. Bridging this gap is challenging yet rewarding, as we believe that poor user experience is preventing crypto from achieving mass adoption. Now, we eagerly look forward to unveiling the next chapter of the #DOPmainnet as we prepare to make it even more accessible and easy to use. It was a pleasure to witness our CTO, Waleed Qureshi, present our core goals at #Token2049 in Dubai.
