Hot take: AA/embedded wallets are a feature, not a product.
To make crypto UX > web2 UX, we need to take a bolder swing that also addresses other important user and developer unmet needs.

What builders will be in Denver next wk? Id love to meet, my TG DMs are open @ karthiksenthil.telegram 🕶️🕶️
The most important ability of any blockchain 3 years from now won't be TPS, throughput, or parallelization.
It will be its Rolodex: the network of other blockchains it can interact with in a way that's fully abstracted from users.
And the biggest network will win.
Agree/disagree?

We’re gonna be working on a manifesto of what crypto-powered UX should ideally feel like to help the industry work backwards from.
If you’re interested in contributing or reviewing (or know someone who would love to), LMK!

We all agree that crypto UX is terrible.
But it's on us to fix it.
If you can wave a magic wand 🪄, what's the first thing you'd fix today that would have the biggest ROI?

This quote from @antonio needs to be crypto's national anthem:
"This isn’t about 'onboarding the next billion users to crypto.' It’s about using blockchain networks to do things that billions of people want to do, better."

Excited to share the launch of the /zksync channel
Our #1 focus at zkSync is UX. This is what we optimize for.
We believe the way for crypto to win is for 1) users to have amazing UX, and 2) make it easy for builders to enable this UX for users.
So if you're a builder, degen or want jam on ZK, come vibe with us.

gm. I'm excited to share the Crypto PR-FAQ.
We've all been asked: "how does crypto benefit real users?"
And tbh as an industry, we havent offered many compelling answers.
So Im using my learnings from Amazon to take a user-centric view & help us find PMF👇

Don't understand why Zuck is being lionized for his recent athletic prowess, almost forgetting that the product he's built over the past 15 years have net-net been negative for society.
