The UX alone is world class. Add in lowest fees in the industry and it's hard to beat.
You can choose any exchange that you like UI/UX but diving deeper and to more important factors like AAA security, more than 100% PoR and low fees. I have been using LeveX from past 6 months and I recommend it.
> Omg, thank you. Admittedly, I just logged on and spent ages looking for it and realised I had to switch to video generation. This is bad UX from us! We'd love to redirect more people to the Media Generation page since it's the best/easiest to generate on. Were you using on mobile or desktop? > Do you have a page that summarises all the different AI models and what they specialise in? Not so much - our API page gives an overview with the descriptions of all the text models (https://nano-gpt.com/api), but aside from that it's frankly a bit impossible also for us to keep up to date descriptions on what models are best at what. We have an auto-model for text models and model recommender for images, this incorporates the leaderboard rankings for text/image on a bunch of different categories/styles and such. > I've been following this project for quite a while now and I would like to give some brief feedback... Feedback is very much appreciated! Thank you! For a "simple" mode, would something like showing just the top 5 text models and having the "Auto Model" preselected work? The auto model automatically routes to the best suited model, which I think for most people would frankly just work. So we could make it so that if you land on the website you're shown the "simple" version, you can go to "advanced mode" where we show all models for you (which is 200+ at this point). FYI we also have a model recommender which I think maybe does what you want - input a prompt or description and it recommends which model to use (and why). > Finally, and a bit of a long shot... Are you looking for investors? Not really since we're quite profitable and don't necessarily need it, but we've been considering it a bit lately because it could help us grow even faster. We also need to decide on, if we do go for investors, whether we do it through a token of sorts since we're crypto native and that feels like a great way to allow anyone to invest, or whether we go the VC route (we've had quite a bit of VC interest so far which we've been turning down). Awesome to even have you inquire about it by the way - I love that we're building something that others also think is valuable.
Yep. Nothing like watching your price impact chart look like a ski slope the moment you press confirm. Crypto UX still has a long way to go tbh
Cold wallet - Ledger. Hot wallet - Trust wallet or starkey wallet. Simple UX, advanced recovery tools, and secure.
Web3 UX is evolving rapidly to cater to the needs of crypto enthusiasts, making it more user-friendly and accessible. One interesting observation is the shift towards creating intuitive interfaces that simplify complex blockchain processes, such as wallet management and decentralized applications. This focus on improving user experience is crucial for mainstream adoption of Web3 technologies. How do you think the continued advancements in Web3 UX will impact the overall adoption of crypto and decentralized applications in the future?
The 80% churn rate isn't surprising, and likely reflects a broader issue with onboarding and user experience rather than inherent flaws in blockchain technology. The "get rich quick" mentality certainly plays a role, as highlighted by other commenters. However, a significant portion of this statistic probably stems from poor user interfaces, complex transaction processes, and a lack of clear value propositions for casual users. Many simply don't understand the underlying technology or the long-term potential, leading to disillusionment and abandonment after initial exploration. Focusing on improving UX and creating more accessible, user-friendly interfaces could significantly impact user retention. This suggests a need for more robust educational resources and simplified onboarding processes within the crypto space.
For everyone being interested in a cryptocurrency that really works as a currency - using Nano feels great. Instant transactions and zero fees are a great UX (at least from my perspective). You can try it for free on e.g. nanodrop.io
bitcoin doesn't solve current wealth inequalities. what it does solve however is more complex than that. Its a better store of value than fiat, a better transactional currency one day (with better UI/UX development and faster TPS) but most importantly, its decentralized. To be fair it's not for anyone; you need self accountability for one, and understanding the technical aspect requires the will to learn and neurons most dont have the patience for. One day it'll be taugh at schools to new kids though
tldr; The Ethereum Foundation has announced a reorganization of its Protocol Research & Development teams under the new name 'Protocol.' This restructuring focuses on three strategic goals: scaling Layer 1 (L1), scaling blobs, and improving user experience (UX). Leaders have been assigned to each goal to enhance accountability and collaboration. The changes aim to better align resources and priorities to support Ethereum's growth and values at a global scale. The Foundation is also seeking new talent to join its efforts in advancing Ethereum's core development. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The decentralisation aspect is nice but barely even relevant to people in crypto given the shit people plough money into, the automation into a finished and secure end product is the main event. The end product only will be as bad as you are as a prompt engineer with an eye for design or UX with whatever time limitations you give yourself - nobody's thinking the sole end product of this is what Dom trotted out as examples, this was a show of you being able to make that many disparate things at once and deploy them all within 30 minutes. Devs spending weeks reiterating over their demos for a specific product rather than 30 minutes to make 4-5 small apps will accomplish much more, we just need to see where the limitations lie with it in a month once we have enough devs hitting roadblocks as they test the limits over the next few weeks.
katana is **opinionated by design**. that means instead of listing dozens of apps at launch, it focuses liquidity and incentives into a **small set of deeply integrated protocols**, what we call **core apps**. right now, those are: * **morpho** (lending) * **sushi** (spot DEX) * **vertex** (perps) these apps are **chain-aligned**: they not only receive boosted yield from vaultbridge, AUSD, and CoL, but also route part of their revenue back to the chain to fund deeper liquidity and new incentive programs. apps like aave or uniswap could deploy on Katana in the future, but they won’t receive emissions or protocol-level yield boosts or chain-owned liquidity. this model helps avoid liquidity fragmentation and creates **deeper, more sustainable markets** from day one. less liquidity fragmentation leads to an overall better UX
katana is a purpose-built chain designed to make DeFi sustainable. it integrates real revenue streams, like vaultbridge yield, offchain T-bill income via AUSD (by agora), sequencer fees, and yield from chain-owned liquidity, and recycles them into core DeFi apps like Morpho, Sushi, and Vertex. built using the OP stack with zk proofs and connected to the AggLayer for secure, seamless bridging, katana aims to create a self-reinforcing economy: more usage → more yield → deeper liquidity → better defi UX. it's a system where productive defi behavior is rewarded, and users who actively participate earn the upside.
Man, I love this community for the fact it pays to contribute and reply to my stupid question that's been asked a million times. I'll let you know how I feel about the UI and UX mate.
If you wonder what that "whatever" is here is a bigger list: Smart contract bugs Bridge hacks Oracle manipulation Custodial risk Collateralization failure Governance attacks Flash loan attacks Liquidity risk Rehypothecation Regulatory risk Minting/burning errors Key management failure Exit scams Insider threats Censorship risk Chain reorganization Peg loss Front-running UI/UX spoofing Sybil attacks Dependency risk Time-delay exploits Upgradability risks Multisig compromise Phishing attacks Economic design flaws Token standards mismatch Downtime or halts Dependency on third-party oracles Composability risk (Lego risk) Incomplete audits Network congestion MEV (Miner Extractable Value) exploits Chain-specific vulnerabilities Cross-chain execution risk Lack of insurance coverage Liquidity pool draining Mispricing in AMMs Contract immutability or lack thereof Fee volatility Slippage risk Wrapped asset depeg Legal enforcement on custodians Trust assumptions in minting authorities Cross-chain data inconsistency Insecure integrations
For long-term, I’d look at DeFi projects solving real UX problems. One I’m watching is OptiFAI by Sperax— still in beta, but the idea is solid: automated, cross-chain yield without needing to bridge or restake manually. Not investing big yet, but keeping an eye on how they execute. Could be huge if they deliver.
Damn! Their fees look really good but I've literally never heard of these guys before (their fees are a little more complicated). I'll try looking up reviews and reply so we can see their UX, interface and feel of it.
I wanted to build an app too, and I looked into the API, it is great and everything, but the UX of the PI apps is terrible and there is a lack of documentation of what apps are accepted and what not. The creators of Pi have terrible communications skills and lack transparency. I believed in Pi, own Pi, but I am no longer motivated to spend couple of months coding for a platform like that. Until there is no tramsparency and accountability it makes no sense for me to invest my time.
XRP and Solana have strong use cases, XRP’s payment rails and Solana’s speed give them real legs but DeFi is where you see the biggest leverage as we move into 2025. Protocols solving today’s friction points stand to boom. For example, Saros on Solana eliminates slippage with its bin-based AMM and bakes yield farms into one Super App; that UX simplicity will drive volume once traders rotate off BTC. Similarly, Ocean Protocol’s on-chain data marketplace is already powering AI projects, so it’s not just speculation.
And if I may add, 95%+ community distribution. Powerful and expressive smart contracts that enable things that would impossible or expensive elsewhere, using UTXOs like Satoshi intended. Support for light clients, true P2P finance. Most people here would rather get dumped on by VCs all day than engage in any thought unfortunately. Check out r/ergonauts to see what's going on. Most recently; AI hackathon ongoing, new stablecoin in testing (DexyGold), Sub-blocks for improved UX soon, public integration guide for the bridge just dropped, and mining emissions are dropping rapidly now, down from the original the 75ERG/block to 3ERG/block by next year.
My team and I started XBO because we felt the crypto space was often either too complex or too shallow. We differentiate by bridging that gap. Our platform offers a simple and easy to understand UX, making it welcoming for newcomers. Yet, it’s powerful enough for experienced traders. Security is paramount, we use military-grade infrastructure with partners like Fireblocks. We are fully regulated, which builds trust. Innovations include our gamified loyalty program, the upcoming XBO Card, and the deep utility of the $XBO token, all designed to make crypto trading rewarding and accessible, not overwhelming.
Yup. Better UX is great, but I'm also glad to see stuff like gasless execution and MEV protection getting more common. Things are changing for the better in DeFi and that’s all that matters.
For sure. The article mentions that as well. A lot of investment has gone into improving UI/UX. It's not just about adding features, but making them accessible.
Ngl, the UX on some of these new DeFi platforms is miles ahead of what it used to be. Still a ways to go for mass adoption, but it's not just for super technical degens anymore.
I dont trade. I DCA!! I used Jupiter Exchange (Dex) to create DCA order using USDC to buy JupSOL (a LST, no staking headache, no lock, self custody) or JUP tokens. Pretty simple. Amazing UI UX. I have personally bought over 100+ sol using DCA features. MUST TRY. NFA.
Really cool, nice work so far. I don't love that it requires software to know where to put the screws.. it's a nice UX, but it means I have to trust the software and the computer running it. Would it be possible to have some companion booklet that helps me figure that out for my seed phrase?
To be fair, the horrible UX isn't related to decentralization, we could have introduced some confirmation mechanisms in code to allow users to validate a transaction from both ends before actually streaming it to the network - for example by auto rejecting 0 fee TXs along RBF, that would annoy mining pools though as they use 0 fee TXs to pay out the blocks they mine
Bluewallet is okay for small, quick stuff, but don’t store too much in there, it’s a hot wallet after all. The private keys live on your phone, which makes it way more vulnerable to hacks or malware. If you're starting to stack sats seriously, I'd def move to cold storage. I would recommend Tangem Wallet-multiple backup cards, no cables or batteries to worry about, and honestly just a better UX overall. Hot wallets are great for daily stuff, but not for holding serious value long-term. Cold wallet = peace of mind.
Same story here. I work as a design generalist (motion design & UI/UX), and I am **this** close to being replaced by AI. It‘s not quite there yet, but I don‘t think I will be needed in 5 to 8 years, the way things are going. I‘m well positioned to survive this, thanks to Bitcoin, but I‘m really worried about my colleagues and all the young people who are doing this job right now. What is work going to look like in 10 years? In 15 years? AI is coming for everyone, except maybe craftsmen and construction workers. I can‘t even fathom it.
The best advice I've run across is to visit Crypto conventions, try to meet some "block-heads" who know UI/UX and tokenomics/white papers Clearly this isn't a receptive place for the idea xD -don't be discouraged friend.. the only thing you need for success is conviction and motivation.. "where there's a will, there's a way" I also wish I could assemble a small launch team.. I have a token idea that I want to quickly morph into being a legit store of value.. it's a bit of a meme, in that it fits a lot of trending narratives with it's name.. but then it's kinda anti-meme due to being legit.. I can't say more
Upland Me feels like a real upgrade compared to most Web3 GameFi projects. The gaming experience is smoother, and the Web2-like UX thanks to EOS tho makes it way more approachable.
> must have never interacted with other smart contracts before you are oversimplifying the situation. if a cold wallet interacts with a smart contract and the user leaves an infinite approval hanging open, then there is some risk. but that is not always the case, depending on the UX of the wallet software and the workflow of the financial application. look both ways before crossing the street.
Thats an additional layer :/ Horrible UX and it will always be a security threat
Layer 2s have a horrible UX, fregment liquidity and are a security threat.
Don't think you get it ser. I understand the EVM aspect and what you are trying to point out over there. But when you spin up an L2 on the Solana, or any other chain, you’re not just scaling, you’re siloing. You sacrifice both composability and liquidity by stepping outside the core execution environment. That means fragmented user bases, fragmented assets, and the overhead of bridging between layers. Even with the best bridging UX, you're still adding latency, security risk, and mental load. The result? More complexity, less cohesion.
I want to be able to freely, conveniently, cost efficiently, speedily, and safely send and transfer value. Cryptocurrencies are for the most part permissionless, the UX today is great, most chains offer low tx at low and flat fee, even slow chains are fast enough for most tx, most chains are pretty secure. Problem is not everyone value all of this and would rather be submitted to centralized monetary lunatics. So still waiting, until then you can pay me in crypto for my software development skills, and I would happily pay in crypto for your good and services 👾
There's a lot of coins in the top 20 that nobody uses: Cardano XRP Avalanche Doge's value is derived by being the first meme coin. It's really as simple as that. And yeah, UX is getting better but your average smartphone is secure enough. Mobile operating systems have built-in sandboxes, so it's very hard for another app to have access to your mobile wallet. Worldcoin is an example of a project improving UX and using smartphone infrastructure.
It's worth a quarter and there's an infinite supply. Somebody's using it. I understand what hardware wallets are. If crypto is to be used by the general public, it needs a better UX.
Not slower than a credit card AT ALL. Maybe slightly from a UX perspective. But Credit cards give the appearance of payment, but they get settled 3-5 days later. This was instant, the money left the buyer wallet and is now in Steak ‘n Shakes wallet, in that instance. Not to mention they did not lose 3% of fees to Visa or MasterCard.
UX of bitkit is nicer. Fees slightly lower too!

Maybe this gives people to think. Using a CEX instead of a DEX nowadays is just negligently. 5 years ago i understood that people use CEXs because of better UI and UX, but those times are long gone.
I'm currently using a Ledger Nano X for cold storage and MetaMask for hot interactions, but I've been thinking about adding an extra layer. Maybe some kind of multisig setup or another wallet type for my mid tier holdings. Any recommendations on tools or platforms that make multisig a bit more user-friendly in 2025? I’ve looked into Safe, but I’m curious what others are using and what the UX is like these
L2 is already cheap, the bridging from L1 and L2 back is expensive. Also, the UX is horrible, how can one keep up with all new L2s and knowing which are possible scams or not? What's being done to improve this, the fragmentation of assets across L2s is annoying.
A genuine concern. Offchain signatures were always risky, but now they're even riskier. An offchain signature can authorize replacing your wallet’s logic (code) with another contract (via SetCode). If you’re tricked into signing that message, the attacker doesn’t just make one unauthorized transfer- they c an take over your wallet's entire logic, meaning: * Future behavior (e.g. token approvals, transfers) can be redirected. * Your assets can be drained without further input. Everybody now needs to be vigillant (devs, wallets): Do not sign blindly, disallow signatures delegating to contracts not in the audited/verified list. Why was SetCode introduced in EIP-7702 if it's so risky?? EIP-7702 was designed to bridge EOAs (Externally Owned Accounts) and smart accounts, making Ethereum wallets upgradable, programmable, and flexible - all without giving up the UX and security of normal EOAs like MetaMask or Ledger. But, instead of adding new opcodes (AUTH and AUTHCALL like in EIP-7702), EIP-7702 uses existing account abstraction ideas to achieve the same goal more modularly (via SetCode).
We're extremely early. In the long run different countries will want to transact with each other and so there is almost certainly going to be a primary currency used for settlement. There will probably be pockets of people using things like monero as a privacy tool and there will be areas where authoritarian governments block usage of that technology. The following is a somewhat unpopular opinion, but I personally think it's true. The reality is that custody is necessary for a lot of people. A large portion of folks will never have the desire to custody their own crypto or hold their own keys. They was it to be fast, easy, and definitely don't want to think about exchange rates. Bitcoin is currently the defacto standard. Lightning works well for very advanced users who want scalable, non-custodial solutions. E-cash is the best UX for custodial solutions and offers both privacy and scalability that will work for most folks who don't care about holding their own keys. Overall the Bitcoin ecosystem is MUCH further along in offering a complete monetary framework than anything else. Hopefully, the regulators don't take aim at e-cash and individuals who run mints.
Both can be true. We're early and most will get shaken out before it gets real. The real adoption might not look like what we imagined—but it’s coming quietly, behind better UX, regulation, and proper web3 banking, bridging the gap to TradFi.
Honestly, the market feels like it’s in that classic disbelief phase. Everyone’s expecting a dip, which ironically sets us up for a grind higher. But macro still matters—if the Fed blinks or liquidity rotates in, BTC could rip. If not, we might chop or bleed. But some sectors are showing early strength—Solana DeFi and AI infra especially. Saros is building something real on the DeFi side with zero-slippage trades and native superapp UX. On the AI/data side, Ocean still feels like one of the only serious bets. Just keeping tabs while everyone stares at Bitcoin candles. DXY, ETF flows, and meme volume as early signals.
**Updates from Pectra** (from https://ethereumupgrades.com/#eips and [EIP-7600](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7600)) * **From EOAs to Smart Accounts** * EIP-7702: Set EOA account code → account abstraction for EOAs * **Validator UX Improvements** * EIP-6110: Supply validator deposits on chain → better syncing & efficiency * EIP-7002: Validators can exit via smart contracts → flexible exits * EIP-7251: Raises validator max balance from 32 ETH → automatic compounding * EIP-7549: Move committee index outside attestation * **Blob Scaling** * EIP-7623: Increase calldata cost → improves scalability * EIP-7691: Blob throughput increase → increased L2 scaling * EIP-7840: Add blob schedule to EL config files → improves data portability * **Cryptography & Infra** * EIP-2537: BLS signature support for staking → improves cryptography * EIP-2935: Adds access to historical block hashes → helps L2s/oracles * EIP-7685: EL triggered requests of CL → safer infrastructure
Yes that's what it means, but as you say, it automatically swaps the token you choose for the ETH needed for gas. Therefore the net impact on ETH is neutral, your transactions still need ETH in order to go through, but you can now effectively buy it when you use it rather than needing to buy it before. It is just a UX improvement, but will have no impact on the amount of ETH being used and burned.
Yes. Good idea. All the recommendations here to do a smaller test transaction first is also a very good idea. In the future, I would recommend moving your Bitcoin off of the exchange long before you get to .1. Maybe .01 or .005. Personally, I use to do it every time I bought and consolidate utxos later. Good hardware wallets: Trezor, Foundation Passport, and Blockstream Jade are good easy UX hardware wallets. Personally I don’t like any of their companion apps aside from updating , I like Sparrow Wallet. Coldcard is a more advanced hardware wallet.
If app builders have the option to use this, over requiring middlemen to verify pictures of drivers licenses, they'll choose this. It's more cost effective, and provides a much better UX. Especially for app builders that aren't US-based. Whether users decide to jump onboard depends almost entirely on whether app builders adopt this chain and the verification method. And since OpenAI made this big public announcement of their US launch, I'm assuming that they're already working with the (tech) industry and regulators.
The tech has potential but the space is still full of traps for newcomers. Until there’s better education, regulation and safer UX, it’s hard to blame anyone for sitting on the sidelines. DYOR shouldn’t have to mean “don’t get robbed.”
Last time I used it, the UX was absolutely terrible… hopefully they have easier ways to store and move it now
I think you need to look at revealed preferences. When the UX of buying Bitcoin is a hurdle then the negative noise is enough to steer people away. But what the ETFs and Strategy vehicles have shown is that when buying Bitcoin (or a 1-1 proxy) is functionally the same from a UX perspective as the types of assets people already buy then you do get a flood of inflows from people too nervous or busy to create an account on an exchange. The next wave is US banks, which will likely be able to support Bitcoin purchases within the bank apps, which will feel much like moving from your current to your savings accounts. Europe will lag behind due to the regulatory hurdles, but the growth of Bitcoin from US savers will put pressure on European politicians who are inhibiting growth. You'll probably see Brazil and Argentine and other South American, Russian and East Asian (Japan, Korea, Taiwan) banks following the US banking system by supporting easy access to Bitcoin, and the argument then will be showing proof of reserves. Europe will need massive political upheaval before we catch up.
Yeah so the best UX would require none of that. Self custody is a trade off at this point, with poor UX being the biggest negative. A centralized solution could ease those issues for people who don’t care for self custody.

LOL. No. Assets are tokenized at the DA and execution layer. ChainLink does neither. The messaging protocol doesn't tokenize an asset. It simply sends messages across chains to mint and burn tokenized assets. You don't even understand the basic modules of a blockchain, and here you are trying to pretend otherwise. Why do you want to embarrass yourself like this? > The value in blockchain is cost savings and freeing up illiquid assets? I don't know what you are talking about. Throughout crypto history, the market has resoundingly said that the value provides a decentralized SoV. Blockchain doesn't cut costs and UX complexity. These trappings come from securing a decentralized SoV and self-sovereign assets. That means everything else is secondary. RWA is not even self-soveriegn by the very design. > Are you trolling me?

Off chain assets are secondary in interest and have better Web 2 outlets to provide better UX and exchange fluidity.
Honestly I just want the UX of a CEX with the transparency and custody of a DEX. I use Prerich to track assets across wallets — makes the DeFi part a little more user-friendly at least.
It really depends on how tech you want to get. Look for something that’s open source and bit only. ColdCard, Trezor (later models) and BitBox02 Bit only version spring to mind. When I didn’t know any better, I opted for a Ledger device. It had Bluetooth, it was easy to use with my phone, it got my coin off the exchange, etc. it was an okay choice at the time. Since then, Ledger’s been hacked, they’ve also released the ability to export keys, then there’s all the users with actual hardware complaints. Add to that my increasing knowledge of the space and how Ledger tech is very dated, closed-source stuff. Their latest product has some sick UX, and I really wanted that user experience. But under the cover, it’s still the same old tired tech. When I started to really look into it, my confidence n Ledger as a product started to wane and I looked elsewhere. I ended up with BitBox02 bit only. I love it and have no regrets.
Even more concerning is all the comments in this thread that are okay blaming the victim, in fact many would borderline argue he deserved it for not being careful. It's a prime example of people accepting some of the worst UX known to finance so deeply that they don't even consider fixing it as a priority. Every man for himself. Doesn't need to be like that.
Serious question: why do you believe this isn't already a reality? I know it isn't groundbreaking, and that too many developers are chasing profits for worse reasons, but I would still consider this common sense security/UX.
\> this "social engineering" is a stretch if you understand the origins of the term. I have no idea what are the 'origins'. I know it's used to distinguish it from regular hacking/breaking in/stealing in that you use human victim's actions to gain access to whatever you're after. Fits the bill in this sense, but I understand it's not the usual sort of social engineering. \> you accept irreversibility so that's not at fault You have to accept it, but that doesn't mean it's also not a fault. It certainly is in cases of theft and mistakes. I know irreversibility is in the core of the blockchain tech, but I think the UX needs to improve so we don't sweat over long strings of gibberish.
It's both. The social in social engineering is convincing user to do something they don't want. That's what the bot did. The system flaw is the address UX and irreversibility.
Alright, here's some first use feedback in case its helpful: \- Added my first purchase, really expected the amounts and price to be automatically adjusted based on the purchase date. So for instance if I added a $100 purchase from Oct 2020, I'd expect the empty fields to be pre-populated (BTC Amount => 0.0108...; Price per BTC => 9200); \- When closing the Purchase dialog, I'd expect the fields to be cleared when reopening it, right now they are persisted. Maybe add a confirmation before closing to prevent accidental data loss; \- Overall, like someone else suggested in the comments, this app is screaming for bulk import. I honestly can't imagine users spending hours entering every single one of their transactions manually. Could start with your own CSV import format, then gradually support formats/API from the major exchanges and trading platforms, filtering for the Bitcoin ETFs, possibly also allowing people to input public addresses and using the inbound UTXOs as "purchases". Sky's the limit here, and definitely a ton of work, but it feels crucial to this type of app IMHO; \- Regarding the data encryption, where is the key stored? I'm assuming local storage, but it would be nice to communicate this somewhere (best place probably in settings?). That being said, love the UI/UX, and the inferred data and how it's presented is sleek and interesting.
I agree with the guy, that Crypto is too complicated for normies. That's why i am investing into userfriendly Crypto for normies with great UX and UI. Haven't heard anyone talk about it yet, since us crypto natives tend to circle jerk about the 10th new consens mechanism rather than attracting new customer groups. So i am fairly confident that i am early on this one.
I would not use any of the exchange wallets like trust wallet or whatever coinbase or binance self custody wallets are. They suck. I really like blue wallet. I think it is really solid and has simple UX if you’re newer to self custody. It is usually what I recommend to everyone. Also, it is very easy to just send it from there to the exchange if you want to sell some.
The user experience of crypto is that it is hard to use. The innovations we need for adoption is improving UX. If exchanges started telling us the most common problems their helpdesks had that they couldn't fix due to it being a protocol issue than we would know what needs to be made more foolproof. Bitcoin didn't have an address format with a checksum until it was introduced in January 2009, part of innovation is making stuff more idiot proof, because we can all be idiots at times.
As opposed to what, Cardano that was #3 in mid 2021 without even having smart contract capability? Or xrp, who's founders gave their foundation 80% of the supply and now have a mere 55%? \> Crypto is supposed to be bulletproof, not “oops, we’ll reboot it.” No, not really, decentralized networks DO have growing pains, especially if you want to do something more ambitious than some eth fork that tweaks a few settings in order to be faster at the cost of decentralization. Solana is just that - they were ambitious enough to change the VM, implement localized fees so that you can have a hype NFT mint that people are paying infinite for and a cheap defi transaction go through in the same block, introduce another language that is more realistic for safety/performance + attracting devs, and due to this ground-up engineering task, the network has had some growing pains. So investors are willing to bet on it over most other chains, and bet that the outages will be engineered out of existence. It's not that crazy, especially given that the rate of outages has gone down and the chain has handled more volume than literally any other smart contract chain while staying up and keeping fees cheap. The UX is also way nicer than anything on eth/cardano/xrp, and it captured retail minds - all my normie friends who have done anything in crypto the last 2 years have done it on Solana. All positives adding to the investment equation. People here love to talk about Cardano, Algo etc and cite their uptimes, but they have NO IDEA what those chains would do if they had to deal with 1 straight month of the type of volume Solana was getting during peak meme season. Solana is just genuinely one of the top tech plays in this space, sure the downtime is a risk, but it's all part of the equation
Check out Sui. Faster than Sol, lots more bells and whistles, and has killer devX. If you’re going to sacrifice decentralization for UX, why sacrifice?
unfortunately such issues can slightly slow down crypto adoption if not resolved- because "people with no much technical knowledge hearing about such incidents will b afraid that they might b the next to face a similar outcome at anytime". i think that Revolut’s UI/UX failed to clearly differentiate between the 2 Polygons "although they could easily do so!", also If the centuries old traditional banking can reverse a misrouted transfer- why can’t a *licensed "fintech"* retrieve digital tokens "that doesn't want"!?, Yes user error happens, but Revolut’s vague instructions and refusal to assist weren't great also!, sometimes Exchanges design flaws cause confusion!. finally why do they have the "Polygon (bridged)" choice if they don't support the tokens on it!. "Time for better standards & clearer regulations"
Just a friendly heads up: Nowadays, there are many DEX with great UX und UI. There is no need to get ripped of by a CEX. Most offer easy access to staking through a third party. Even off-ramping crypto, which was the last USP off CEXs, can now easily be done through a DEX. I understand your frustration, but with staying on those ripp-off-CEX you validate their practices.
Because we have not seen broad user applications built on chain yet, the market is largely narrative driven. Eth’s marketed narrative does not match its UX while coins who sacrificed decentralization and security for good UX seen like much better networks from a user perspective. Also being smaller market caps make them easier to increase in value. Not saying who will come out on top or not though.
There is no undervaluation, no matter how often the ETH Stans keep parroting it. And not a single soul will ever care about it company Y uses it for X purpose. No amalgamation of fancy bullshit bingo words will ever make a regular guy go "Man, that's awesome!" the entire UX around crypto is ass and there are very few uses that aren't entirely hamfisted. I read them all in this sub, and they never cease to sound delusional. BTC is only worth as much as it is now, because it's the OG coin. All there is to it.
Don't use Jade, bad UX and insecure chip. Use Passport Core or Coldcard instead.
Actually it does not even have to be this gloomy for it to happen. Just look at all the debt the U.S. has collected. Just the interests on it alone is already a huge burden. In my eyes this is just a ticking time bomb. Rolling over the debt only works if the market trusts the U.S. government and the dollar. To put it mildly, trust used to be better. Printing money is also not going to be a solution. I am not saying Bitcoin is going to replace the dollar. But if I were the market and could think completely rational, I would opt for a currency that is not under central control. User experience (UX) also has to improve for wider adaption. The U.S. is green lighting banks to hold Bitcoin for customers. I am not a fan of this, but it helps the rate of adoption.
The UX seems a bit janky at the moment. I would find it easier to pay with gift cards purchased with Bitcoin, which I can scan at the till, and this is supported by most supermarkets already. So I'm not sure what the big deal is here. Also, how does the static QR code carry the amount, do I have to type it in on my phone? I paid for my meal in a restaurant in Florence and it was a breeze, but they used a phone so the QR code was dynamic and carried the amount.
This sub is probably the worst place to ask DeFi question because huge majority never even leave CEX, or at best simply keep the tokens in their wallet. You can try practicing LP on Meteora. It's just Uniswap concentrated liquidty but much better UI and UX. Lots of strategy can be applied with LP. You can DCA In, DCA Out with single sided liquidity. Or simply trying to get fees on memecoin
Ethereum didn’t really live up to the hype. When gas fees were crazy few years ago, everyone thought L2s would fix everything. Tons of them popped up, all promising cheap and fast transactions. But most didn’t catch on because the UX sucks. Nobody wants to deal with bridges and extra steps when other L1s are faster, cheaper, and just easier to use.
The burden of proof is on you as you are the one claiming that our product is full of CVE, while there's only one that I was able to find and it is the exact same you mentioned. the only way to execute this exploit would be with an attacker having access to not only the device, but very specialized hardware, as all they can do it partially recreate contents of the display with very specific voltage manipulation, [link to the exploit](https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-22279/product_id-75108/year-2019/Shiftcrypto-Bitbox02.html). Users can also check everything we build by themselves by simply going to our [Github repo](https://github.com/BitBoxSwiss), all our build are reproducible and completely open source, we also got 3rd place in the [Cybernews Business Digital Index](https://cybernews.com/business-digital-index/) on the Tech company category and 6 place overall, an index that provides a rating system that offers a clear overview of an organization’s cybersecurity health using available data from external sources. Airgaping can reduce attack surface area in very specific setups, such as government setups, but there's a big, if not huge difference between a setup for not leaking sensitive information that could come at the cost of national security risk and a setup for signing cryptographic keys, in the second case, not matter how complex or professional a setup is, an attacker will always need access to the device, thing for which airgaping adds absolutely nothing. The only thing where theoretically airgap would help is in preventing remote writing on the device's firmware, but that's why secure chips, authenticity checks and encrypted local communications exist, which makes again airgap just redunant, making the UX cost of it not worth it. I'm all for being proven wrong, so please do.
FWIW, I've been in crypto since 2018 and not just investing but building dapps and startups. What I can honestly tell you is that crypto has no other use than for DeFi and speculation aka gambling. So, gone are the days when we believed it would fundamentally change the world as we know it. I started a few Web3 projects, and the traction since 2024 is just appalling. Even though Web3 could work for some sectors, it is just too complicated to use (poor UI/UX) and filled with frauds that cringe every newbie who dares to enter. So, fundamentally there's not much use for crypto other than hedging or gambling I supposed. As a form of digital currency to replace fiats? Dream on, with such volatility and yet ironically it's these swings that made investors fall in love with this unpredictable arena. Case in point is ETH. I built lots of dapps on this chain and look at the quiet traffic now. Gas price is super cheap now. It costs barely 5 bucks to deploy a smart contract now compared to $600 to $1k in 2023. No one is going to USE Web3 for what it was intended. We can forget the others like ADA (another ETH), SOL (technically a fraud if you ask me) and AVAX (and another ETH). Light in the end of tunnel? BTC perhaps. At least that's where I put my money.
On airgaps, let me give you my own opinion (that's why I'm making a different comment so we can have a conversation not related to my work directly if you are open to it): they are just marketing gimmicks, all Airgaps do is add more UX complexity, which can be conflated with more security, thypical "security by obscurity". A good example of this in practice is [Dark Skippy](https://cointelegraph.com/news/dark-skippy-method-can-steal-bitcoin-hardware-wallet-keys), the only two wallets that are not affect by it are not air-gapped, and guess which two wallets are those: [BitBox02 and Blockstream Jade](https://darkskippy.com/mitigations.html). I always equate air-gap as waering gloves in a production level kitchen, it gives the client the ilussion of the food being clean because hands aren't touching their food, but not wearing them is better because people actually wash their hands and feel the dirt in them when the don't wear gloves, airgaps are the same here, they add nothing, but they are great at selling the illusion of security.
I’ve been poking around JetBolt for a couple weeks now, and I honestly think this might be one of the most overlooked projects out there right now. The thing that hit me first is how *complete* it feels. Not “whitepaper complete,” but like... *usable* from day one. I tried the wallet, staked some tokens, and made a few transactions—and everything just flowed. No gas. No weird hoops. Just pure utility. The way they’ve implemented WebAuthN for wallet access is genius too. You sign in with FaceID or biometrics, and you’re instantly in—no seed phrase stress, no extension required, and you’re still in full control of your assets. It’s self-custodial, secure, and dead simple. That alone solves half the onboarding issues we see in Web3. But the more I dug in, the more it became obvious that JetBolt isn’t just trying to patch up the current system—it’s rethinking how users and developers interact with blockchain entirely. Gasless transactions might sound like a gimmick, but when you actually *use* a platform that just works without worrying about top-ups or bridge fees, it clicks. This is the kind of stuff we need if we want mass adoption. And as a dev, seeing how easily JetBolt can be dropped into any dApp with a few lines of code is wild. The SDK is lightweight, and the iframe security model shows they’ve actually thought through the edge cases. And the PAW staking system? Total game changer. It rewards *daily interaction*, not just holding and forgetting. The longer you show up, the better your rewards get—and it even lets you support friends by adding them to your favorites list, which gives them a percentage bonus. It’s such a clever way to keep users coming back, while building a real community vibe. Point is, JetBolt isn’t just another “next-gen blockchain” pitch. It’s a functioning, live product that actually makes crypto easier, faster, and more accessible. It’s got the tech, it’s got the UX, and it’s got a very solid shot at being the standard other platforms will chase in the next cycle. I'm already in, and honestly, I'm here for the long haul.
The best UX tbh, others exchanges look like casinos I hate it
BTC is massively overinflated. It's a coin without scalability. The only reason why it can be holder by so many is because 98% of the people is using an intermediary to do it, a CEX, an ETF, a Bank..... What a fucking joke. Solana has much more organic activity than any other coin. It scale, it's used by the new projects that want to have a real application, like Render, Helium, Paypal stable coins, the Black Rock BUIDL 1.6b fund.... Things that cannot happen in Bitcoin,, or in Ethereum layer 1 (and layer 2 is a centralized mess and UX nightmare) I find it funny when Bitcoin maxis are so arrogant
I like Kraken's UI/UX. Easy to navigate and use. It also makes it easy to onboard my normie friends so that they can tap into decentralized finance. Question: Why doesn't Kraken add Decred instead of all of these junk meme coins? I know in your hearts you don't like to add the scammy solana tokens that will go to 0 one day.
Best UX in the business and security. The day Kraken f'\*\*ks it up, it's game over for crypto.
Honestly people forget how big the WalletConnect Network is…. 600+ wallet partners, 50,000+ apps supported, 250M connections and 40M users Scaling the network to provide highly reliable and performant service across all chains and around the world is not an easy task We had many challenges ensuring the smooth UX but we are really proud of what we achieved so far We are ready for the first Billion users!
Obviously we understand the skepticism but this developer registration was critical to scale the WalletConnect Network while ensuring the best performance and reliability Eventually we will see many different Gateways for developers to register their WalletConnect projectId This is something that WCT will enable and its a top priority for the UX Council to push forward as part of the roadmap described in the WalletConnect whitepaper
This obviously is a big topic within the WalletConnect ecosystem and we are working together with our wallet partners to provide a better UX One of our biggest features that we developed for Account Abstraction is Smart Sessions which will reduce the number of clicks it takes to connect your wallet and approve signatures We are also working on newer features that provide Chain Abstraction support to ALL wallets in WalletConnect
Thanks for joining us! How do you see developments in account abstraction improving UX? Any potential downsides or risks of AA to note?
*The demand surge isn't surprising when fiat systems wobble, people instinctively seek hard money. But let's be real: wanting Bitcoin ≠ mass adoption. Until UX improves (no, grandma shouldn't need a 12-word seed phrase to buy groceries) and volatility stabilizes, we're still in the 'digital gold' phase. The real tipping point? When hodling stops being a meme and starts meaning using BTC as actual currency*
Crypto isn't just for speculation anymore — it's becoming a real payment layer. The rise of **retail & F&B adoption** shows: * Merchants want lower fees * Users want spending utility * Crypto is quietly becoming "money" Imagine when UX catches up 👀
I’ll help you out here Synchronicity is an issue l2s are facing because they do not play well with each other. Sometimes it can take 7 days to transfer from one l2 to another. The UX is really poor because it doesn’t feel like one network and it is fragmented. Solutions: Based Rollups, use the l1 sequencer for transaction ordering so all based Rollups are in sync. Drawback: transaction finality is now tied to the l1 block time which isn’t a great UX. Preconfirmations are being worked on which could bring finality down to 1 second or less. The l2 superchain, where a bunch of l2s share a single l2 sequencer. The goal is to abstract all these methods away to make the user experience just works without any technical know how, so you won’t have to be overloaded with buzzwords anymore :)
Don’t feel bad for the true ETH bros. We are pretty happy with the direction we are headed in. Synchronicity, scaling, and faster finality and the general UX are all being worked on with multiple teams working on different solutions. The benefit with Rollup centric roadmap is we get to try out different methods and see which one is best. With the largest developer ecosystem with hardcore cyberpunk values and very intelligent leaders, I think the future is bright for ETH.
It does. You asked why the free market would adhere to them. I told you, cash doesn’t need KYC. It is relevant because KYC reduces the market access and interest in these assets. Lower demand means free market makes them weaker assets in the long run. KYC at CEXs is inevitable. But the UX would be insufferable if you start KYCing at every level.
Exchange -> Kraken pro => The fees are great, the spread is minimal, the UX is good Wallet -> Tangem => Cold, never hacked, top of the line chip, affordable, UX is very good.
I will say it again, it is a stupid VC narrative. VCs' edge is to get deal flows, so they need to create fictitious problems to put their LP money to work and collect fees. Crypto can be a useful payment rail, that is true. But every payment rail needs adoption and human pulse on it for it to economically function. The blockchain user set would drastically decrease if the main purpose is to send stablecoins. No American want to come onto this horrible UX just to hold a tokenized version of their money they can sit on their bank accounts.
Oh I completely agree with you on that part, the UX is terrible and the deterministic dice function is still dangerous, even if less so than it was when it launched and allowed too few dice rolls.
