UX

IMHO: Why risk it? Only for some UX? If it was my main wallet: never. If you want to use some for fun/spending: just do it 🏄🏻‍♂️

This is a UX issue and a market opportunity for crypto.

No no, I’m aware of the stack and that’s what I’m talking about. The learning curve to operate the stack is insane. I’ve used Evmos, Kava, Keplr etc. they have the most unfriendly UX and backend. I’m very computer literate and crypto literate and I gave up. It’s just so laborious.

Tokenized metals make sense if the platform is fully audited, redemption backed, and transparent about custody. Otherwise it’s just paper metals 2.0 wrapped in crypto UX. The metal thesis can be right and the token still fail.

Stats_DontCare0

Short answer is probably not anytime soon. The 32 ETH requirement is baked into the validator design, and lowering it brings tradeoffs around network load and complexity. Core devs have talked more about improving solo staker UX and things like distributed validators rather than changing the minimum itself. So native staking under 32 without pooling or derivatives doesn’t seem on the near roadmap. If you want to avoid rETH style tokens, your only real option for now is pooling trust or waiting a long while.

If you're looking for the best UX, you should really check out Hyperliquid. It's an L1 that feels exactly like a CEX (low latency, order book) but is fully on-chain and non-custodial. Honestly, once you try it, Binance feels like legacy tech. Use this link for a 4% fee discount: https://app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/BITWHISPER

Prahasaurus

No. Plenty of decentralized dollar options on Ethereum, a decentralized blockchain. People just need to use them. BOLD, for example. Bitcoin has failed as a payments platform. Too volatile, terrible UX. People want stablecoins. But they should use decentralized options.

VISUALBEAUTYPLZ

Ur right crypto UX is bad But its changing Please self custody, wazirx hack, ftx scandal are very damn recent

JKimRX

In order for BTC to really explode, there needs to be mass adoption. The average consumer is simply not tech savvy enough to navigate the exchange, conduct transactions, and manage cold wallets. Retail investors (general public) are indeed better off paying a management fee to Fidelity or Blackrock to purchase spot ETFs, since they will otherwise never contribute to the overall BTC market cap. However, as with any investment they should at least try to learn about the product they’re investing into, which include self custody. Paired with increased UX improvements, hopefully more and more people eventually move their money out from institutions and into the decentralized network.

Honestly same thing here, ppl overthink cards too. I wouldn’t keep big money on any card wallet anyway. Most make sense only for spending. I keep main funds elsewhere and just move small amount when I need it. For that use case stuff like COCA is fine — card works, UX ok, support actually answers. Solid cashback, a lot of perks for loyal customers

StevenVinyl

Cod3x by far the best and most in-depth platform. Fully built out UI/UX. Not for beginners though, you'd still need to know what you're doing (especially strategy wise) because it follows your rules and automation settings. There are triggers you can set (price, indicators, time) and those will trigger task runs -> then LLM decides whether to make a trade or not, so it's not just a braindead bot following a ruleset. Just check it out. You'll be impressed.

crypto UX somehow makes banks look efficient

Willing_Gas7868

I think crypto’s core value is still rails, not price. The most durable problem it solves is permissionless, borderless value transfer without relying on trusted intermediaries. Bitcoin proved you can move value globally in minutes without banks; that alone is non-trivial. That said, many “use cases” were oversold, most people don’t need self-custody day-to-day, and a lot of dApps replaced functioning systems with worse UX. My view has shifted from “crypto will replace everything” to “crypto will specialize.” Today I see its strongest roles in: censorship-resistant money (BTC), neutral settlement layers, and programmable finance where trust minimization actually matters - not every app, just high-stakes ones.

eToroTeam

That use case makes sense conceptually, but adoption’s been slower than expected. Do you think that’s a UX problem, a trust problem, or something else?

Post is by: badco1993 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1qwcbtw/kaspa/ Kaspa's tech is already a beast for real-world, everyday use: sub-second confirmations, 10 BPS on the horizon (post-Crescendo), thousands of TPS potential, near-zero fees, and pure PoW security without compromises. This makes it perfect for the one sector that's proven crypto has massive, recurring volume today—**gaming** and **esports** economies. Think about it: * In-game skins, cosmetics, loot boxes, and virtual item trading (CS2, Roblox, Fortnite-style marketplaces) generate billions in annual microtransactions. * Esports betting, play-to-earn rewards, streaming tips, cross-game asset portability—all need ultra-fast, low-latency, congestion-proof settlement. * Current chains struggle: Ethereum gas spikes kill UX, Solana has outages at peak, centralized solutions lack trust/decentralization. Kaspa solves this natively on L1—no L2 hacks needed for basic high-frequency flows. At 10 BPS, we can handle hyper-fast tx for thousands of concurrent players without blinking.The opportunity: If we drive adoption here first, we create a flywheel of daily on-chain volume that could dwarf many L1s. Gamers are young, tech-savvy, and already crypto-curious—get them using KAS for in-game purchases, and it becomes habit.Proposal: Create a dedicated Kaspa Gaming Bounty Program / Incentive FundBuild on the existing community DevFund model (donations to treasurers, public votes in #devfund/#funding-pools) and expand it specifically for gaming:Sample Bounty Ideas (with rough reward tiers in KAS): * $5,000–$20,000 equivalent in KAS → Build & open-source a Kaspa payment SDK/plugin for Unity/Unreal Engine (easy in-game tx for skins/rewards). * $10,000–$30,000 pool → First 3–5 indie games (or Roblox/Unity prototypes) that go live with Kaspa-integrated microtx (proof via on-chain volume + demo). * $2,000–$10,000 each → Wallet integrations for gaming platforms (e.g., seamless Kaspa QR/payments in Telegram mini-games, Steam-like marketplaces, or esports payout tools). * Bonus: High-throughput tools (e.g., batching for 10k+ tx/min during tournaments) or bridges for stablecoins in gaming (USDC on Kaspa for fiat-like feel). How to fund & run it: * Seed from community donations (add a "Gaming Fund" wallet address, managed via multisig + public votes like current DevFund). * Start small: Target 500k–2M KAS initial pool via crowdfunding campaign in Discord/Reddit. * Post bounties on GitHub, Discord, or a simple bounty board (inspired by Gitcoin-style but Kaspa-native). * Community/review team verifies completions (e.g., merged PR + live demo with real Kaspa tx). This isn't reinventing the wheel—Kaspa already does routine bounties and community funding pools. We're just laser-focusing on the highest-leverage vertical: gaming microtx to drive daily volume and prove Kaspa's edge.What do you think? * Would you donate to / support a Gaming-specific fund? * Devs here—interested in claiming these bounties? * Ideas for better bounty specs or first targets (e.g., specific games/studios)? * Any existing gaming projects on Kaspa we should amplify? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

This feels like a more honest framing of where the ecosystem actually is. Vitalik isn’t saying L2s are unnecessary — he’s saying the original narrative of “Ethereum, but cheaper” no longer fits reality. Decentralization assumptions didn’t progress as fast as expected, while L1 scaling moved faster than many anticipated. That naturally shifts what L2s should optimize for. What’s interesting is that many teams already seem to be acting on this. Some focus on ZK verification and strong settlement guarantees, others on app-specific execution, privacy, or UX. Treating all of that under one “L2 scaling” label has probably been misleading for users. In that sense, this isn’t a rejection of rollups — it’s a push toward clearer trade-offs and more honest positioning. Scaling becomes about *what kind of blockspace* you’re offering, not just how cheap it is. There’s also been a broader discussion across Ethereum, ZK teams, and even non-Ethereum ecosystems reacting to this shift, which adds useful context beyond the headline: [https://open.substack.com/pub/btcusa/p/are-layer-2-blockchains-losing-their?r=6y5uc8&utm\_campaign=post&utm\_medium=web](https://open.substack.com/pub/btcusa/p/are-layer-2-blockchains-losing-their?r=6y5uc8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web) Curious whether people here think Ethereum L1 scaling eventually absorbs most demand, or if specialization keeps L2s structurally relevant long-term.

It is also the horizontal integration. There maybe price feed competitors (Pyth, Redstone, etc.) or CCIP competitors (Wormhole, Layer Zero, etc). or Deco competitors (Reclaim, TLS notary, etc.), or Proof of Reserve (Pyth, Band, etc.) ... you can do this for each of their products, but the general theme is that each of their competitors is focused on just one sector for which chainlink is the standard. No one is competing across the whole suite of products that is necessary for institutions, enterprises, or even large web3 native applications to build and scale for mass adoption. This means no one can compete with their higher level products like CRE and ACE which incorporate many of their products working together to address regulatory, compliance, devX, and UX needs. Additionally it builds stronger relationships as teams incorporate more and products, gain further trust in the team, and leads to increase likelihood of adoption of future products. For example aave originally incorporated chainlink price feeds. This was honestly the major competitive advantage that lead to them leapfrogging compound in weeks. As compound had to build a new oracle in house each time they wanted to list a new asset and compound could out source that work to chainlink. This lead to aave being among the first to adopt products like CCIP, collaborating on initiatives like SVR, and more recently integrating NAV feeds and ACE to support institutional initiatives. Long term relationships with prominent protocols increase compound on themselves Additionally it establishes network effects both internally and externally. Internally if you are already using one chainlink product it becomes that much easier to use them for your next product. Communications remain efficient, and interactions between various components are easier to understand and diagnose when there are issues. Externally it also has benefits when integrating with other applications. For example if we consider a situation where aave is considering listing a CDP stable coin which uses DIA for its price feeds and layerzero for its bridge, it invites more risk then one that uses is Chainlink and ccip. Finally it strategically heavily incentivizes chainlink integration over competitor integration. Consider a new ecosystem with moderate momentum at launch. Likely they will want large protocols like aave, gmx, etc. to deploy on the network. Those protocols are reliant on chainlink though and will not deploy without chainlink support. These highly desireable partners act as leverage for chainlink. They can demand exclusivity and/or canonical status. Even if they don't Ecosystems are incentivized to just integrate chainlink across the board as it is more efficient then paying for chainlink price feeds and CCIP to satisfy AAVE and then also pay for Redstone and wormhole integrations. For institutional adoption these is all just amplified 10x. It would require something catastrophic for a competitor to take a way significant market share at this point

No worries I will calm the farm. But your last point highlights the UX fail of airgapped wallets. h/t

Sample size of one doesn't mean jack friend. If you are hodling, sure whatever you don't need to actually do anything. But regularly transactions via airgapping is a joke. Bitcoin has horrible UX for plebs, airgapping doesn't help.

tldr; Web3 adoption has been hindered by poor user experience (UX) and the lack of safe delegation mechanisms for users. The introduction of an agentic layer, which converts user intent into actions, could improve UX. However, the absence of an open, agent-native security protocol for identity, permissions, and runtime guardrails leaves agents vulnerable to risks, as seen in recent hacks. Solving this security gap could enable safe delegation, eliminate UX bottlenecks, and drive Web3 adoption. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

MadCake92

Yeah well, what use case does this meme coin have. No tail emission, tech that is extremely old and clear rejection to innovation, thus stagnating UX, thus lack of adoption. As long as the Bitcoin community acts like they only need to hold and the bigger fool will come and buy their coin, the writing will be on the wall. You have a lot more solid competition than this waste. And worst of all is that this meme dictates the pace of the rest of initiatives in the market. The sooner it dies, the better.

Why didn’t people learn?! . Self-custody!! But then Yellow Network, a new exchange pops up with shiny features and liquidity, and we all pretend that custody risk is solved. But here’s the thing: early DEXs weren’t built for traders. They had crappy UX, bad price execution, and enormous slippage. So active traders chose CEXs even though custody risk was insane. That’s the real reason CEXs stuck around not because people don’t understand self-custody, but because the alternatives actually sucked for real, high-frequency/large volume trading. NOW, it feels like the landscape is finally evolving: Order-book DEXs + AMMs with deep liquidity, not just Uniswap-style pools, but real matching engines on L2s. Settlement finality on-chain. trust us, we custodied assets. Composable execution — aggregators that pull liquidity from multiple venues. Sponsored gas / UX improvements — so trading on L2 isn’t a pain. So with those advancements, are we actually past CEX custody risk? Or are we just repeating the same cycle? Would love to hear your thoughts. 🙂 *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The low APR might be the sole standout feature of CB (what are the amounts to get that low of interst?) But for low fees/spread exchanges Strike, River, Swan, BitcoinWell are all better and give options on the fees to transfer (often no fee for slower), which highly encourages self-custody imo and shows an honesty about the real blockchain fees (can customize the fee depending on the speed you want it finalized just like you get on good Bitcoin Wallets). Strike offers loans and their App UI and UX are top notch. Kraken is another “full service” exchange like CB but they offer free Lightning transfer that actually works and their Limit orders are a flat 0.25% fee. Once I discovered that I never bought on CB again.

Sea-Environment-5938

Interesting direction, but I’d separate infrastructure progress from the “war on Big Tech” narrative. On-chain reputation for agents is a meaningful primitive, yet rivaling centralized AI by 2027–28 depends far more on data access, inference costs, and UX than standards alone.

Our project is a fast and easy DEX aggregator that scours multiple liquidity pools to find the best swap rates, with low fees and seamless execution. We’re in early days of the project, and our team is actively improving things based on user input - so your insights will directly help shape the platform! Currently we only support the ETH chain but we are working hard to cover more soon! **What is 8DX?** It’s essentially a DEX aggregator (think along the lines of 1inch, Matcha, etc.) that uses **smart order routing** to split or route trades across various liquidity pools for the best price. The idea is to automatically get you a better deal than any single DEX could offer by pooling their liquidity. Here are a few key features we’re focusing on:   **Smart Routing:** 8DX’s engine checks prices across multiple pools and can even split a single swap into multiple routes if that yields a better overall price. The goal is “best rates, no matter what” - similar to platforms like 1inch or Rubic. 👉**You can also click on “branches” in the swap quote** to preview the exact breakdown of the route before confirming. It shows how your trade is being split across pools (% allocation etc.).   **Digestible UI:** We’ve tried to keep the interface simple to start off with, with a clear swap workflow, but with ability to bring up more complex tools that you may need. We think that helps DeFi become more accessible… but does it feel that way to *you*? All design critiques welcome.   **Great Price Execution:** Our early testers have reported strong pricing and low slippage, thanks to the multi-route engine. If you try it out, let us know: Did the final amount match what you'd expect? Was it better than what you usually get?   **Low Fees (0.15%):** 8DX charges a flat 0.15% fee on swaps - roughly half what you'd pay on many single DEXs (like Uniswap’s 0.3% pools). Does this fee make the difference noticeable on your trades?   **Free API Access:** We also offer a **public, free-to-use API**. Anyone can fetch quotes and routes, and trade - devs, wallets, tools, etc. The only cost is the 0.15% baked-in swap fee, and you can also set your own fee on top if you’d like! Let us know if this is something your project could use; we’d love to collaborate. Link: [API](https://docs.8dx.io/api-reference/swap/get-api-quote) We just launched (still in beta), so a few rough edges are expected. But we're pushing updates regularly. **What we’d love feedback on:** *  **UX/UI Design** \- Anything confusing or unintuitive? *  **Performance** \- Fast enough? Any hiccups? *  **Price/Execution** \- Did we beat or match your usual DEX? *  **Bugs/Issues** \- Anything break or missing? *  **Feature Requests** \- What would you want added next? Our goal is to make 8DX genuinely useful to DeFi traders and builders. We take feedback seriously - good, bad, or brutal. If you’ve got a minute to test or even just peek at the routing logic, we’d love your thoughts 🙏 \-          **Gleb from The 8DX Team (PSA I am the only member of my team with an active reddit account hence why I am using this one 😭)**   *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

We believe non-custodial fintech applications are a superior way to build neobank style applications, we have spent years working with our ecosystem to build the technology and standards to make them easier to build, maintain and deploy globally. We have reached the point where many of these applications offer UX/UI which is indistinguishable from a web2 or custodial fintech application. That is table stakes though, mass adoption of new technology in fintech like all markets is driven by who offers the best product at the best prices. The majority of users are looking for the best tool for the job not the coolest or newest technology to do the job. We are seeing the early stages of mass adoption globally on Stellar because the fintech applications building on Stellar offer as good or better product experiences, and because they are non-custodial they are able to embed and integrate a rapidly growing number yield bearing assets and defi products and services into those product experiences. This is enabling them to offer yield, credit, FX instruments and locally denominated assets at the lowest costs / highest returns in the markets they are competing in. This is the very beginning of a virtuous cycle for the entire ecosystem, these applications are acting as distribution for the assets and protocols on the network by recruiting new users to the network at a rapid pace. They are outcompeting other applications in those markets, whether built on other chains or on traditional infrastructure. This is attracting new builders to start on Stellar and existing ones to migrate if they want to compete. This in turn drives up protocol TVL, RWA asset values and over all payments volume, which attracts more builders and issuers. Bottom line is that what is driving our mass adoption is enabling builders to win in their markets via low cost ubiquitous access via our ramps, and the right building blocks to build for their customers needs via protocols and assets wrapped in the best user experience which make the technology its built on disappear into the background, where it belongs.

jose_fdaponte

Hi there - for RWAs to become more consumer friendly we need to make sure that the infrastructure fades into the background. Friendly UX is a big unlock to be able to get massive distribution. Very excited to see what some folks in the ecosystem are doing in terms of composability, and wrapping up RWA and DeFi experiences in a way that is easy to understand for non-expert users.

halfhidwarp

Good question! And it sounds like the tools you're building are super helpful for people navigating the wilds of crypto. Our take: most people want technology that works, products that solve problems for them, and an interface that is easy to use and understand. So we don't need to force people to trust crypto per se: we need products and services onchain that are worthy of their trust. The technology works. We need to give people a reason to use it. Rather than focusing on getting people to care how crypto works under the hood, we focus on getting builders to create solutions that solve real problems, and that have good UX. That's how we bring the normies on board. They'll trust crypto like a bank when their bank starts running on Stellar rails because they trust the bank and the bank knows it can trust Stellar. Build things people need and that work and they will trust it.

This standard gives AI agents **verifiable, portable reputation** on-chain, letting them collaborate across organizations without any centralized middleman, and handle trustless micropayments or interactions. It's a massive real-world step toward what Vitalik calls reclaiming “computing self-sovereignty” in 2026. Quick reminder of what he said recently: “2026 should be the year we take back lost ground in computing self-sovereignty. We traded too much decentralization for UX and adoption (smart wallets, abstractions, etc.). Time to go back to roots: build AI that doesn't rely on black boxes controlled by Google, OpenAI, or Anthropic.” The building blocks are already here: * PeerDAS (now in advanced testing) * zkEVMs in production * ERC-8004 live → cross-platform AI agents with on-chain reputation While digging into this, I even spotted real projects already live on Ethereum. Take **Sentient** (recently listed on Bitget, raised $85M backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, Pantera, Framework Ventures) they launched **SERA**, a crypto-focused AI agent that reportedly outperforms ChatGPT in tool-calling, real-time data access, and cutting hallucinations on crypto markets. If Vitalik and the Ethereum ecosystem really push a fully native decentralized AI initiative (more advanced than most current projects), this could massively accelerate adoption: Ethereum's scalability roadmap + genuine decentralization. Long-term, I'm super bullish on this. I remember the crazy pump we saw when DeepSeek launched the whole market went nuts, fake tokens exploded everywhere. The same could happen on ETH with AI agents. As an ETH holder, this is the narrative that excites me the most Centralized AIs are still vulnerable: censorship, bias, single points of control. A decentralized alternative could truly democratize AGI… even if scalability and UX are the two big remaining challenges. What do you think? Can we realistically see a blockchain-based decentralized AI seriously rival Big Tech by 2027-2028? DYOR, but the signals are stacking up fast.

Under this model, **Bitunix** ends up with the **highest overall score**. # Evaluation model The comparison uses five commonly discussed dimensions, with weights assigned to reflect **active trading usage**: |Metric|Weight| |:-|:-| |Trading fees & cost efficiency|30%| |Trading experience (UI, execution, order flow)|25%| |Derivatives & trading features|20%| |KYC flexibility / onboarding friction|15%| |Brand maturity & regulatory footprint|10%| This setup intentionally emphasizes **cost, execution, and tooling**, which tend to dominate outcomes for users who trade regularly. # Detailed scoring breakdown |Exchange|Fees|Trading UX|Derivatives / Features|KYC Flexibility|Brand / Regulation|**Weighted Total**| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |**Bitunix**|9.0|8.5|8.0|8.0|6.0|**8.2**| |**Binance**|8.0|8.0|9.0|5.0|8.0|7.8| |**Kraken**|6.5|7.0|7.0|6.0|8.5|7.1| |**Coinbase**|5.0|7.5|6.0|4.0|9.0|6.6| **Result:** Under this weighting, Bitunix ranks highest due to **consistently strong mid-to-high scores across multiple trading-related categories**, rather than excelling in a single dimension. # Notes on interpretation A few things stood out when looking at the numbers: * **Fees and execution carry more weight than expected** Once fees are weighted at 30%, even small differences meaningfully affect the total score. * **Platforms focused on trading tend to score more evenly** Exchanges with simpler product scope but solid spot/futures support perform well in UX and cost metrics. * **KYC flexibility still impacts aggregate outcomes** Regardless of regulatory discussions, onboarding friction remains a real variable in comparative scoring. # Context (important) This table doesn’t imply that: * one exchange is universally “better”, or * brand / regulation are unimportant For example: * **Binance** clearly dominates in liquidity and ecosystem scale * **Coinbase** leads on regulatory clarity and institutional trust * **Kraken** maintains a strong long-term security reputation Changing the weights (e.g. giving regulation 30%) would obviously change the ranking. # Closing Under a **trading-centric evaluation**, the results land this way.

what about the UX made you make a mistake?

oracleifi

If a project nails that UX + regulation, it could be a real breakout. Otherwise it turns into payday loans with a token wrapper.

Internal_Resort5451

Yeah, and Solana + wallets like Solflare fit that “still building” narrative too, Solana keeps improving on speed, fees, and reliability while the ecosystem shifts toward more real apps instead of pure hype, and Solflare matters because good self-custody UX is what actually keeps users on-chain long-term, not just price action or memes.

“Only way to send $100M (or $100) across the globe on a Sunday without asking permission.” Except it’s not. You can already do this with Wise, SWIFT gpi, SEPA Instant, RTP, crypto rails backed by actual banks, and yes even PayPal for normal humans. The “3–5 business days” thing is a 2009 meme. Real banks move real money globally every day, including weekends, if you’re not wiring from a dusty branch office in 1997. Also: permissionless just means “no one can stop you from fat-fingering a $100M transaction to the wrong address and vaporizing it forever.” Great feature. Really empowering. And the “no middleman” thing is hilarious when every actual Bitcoin user goes through: • Coinbase • Binance • Kraken • hardware wallets • custodians • stablecoins • bridges • Lightning hubs So you replaced banks with a stack of startups, plus irreversible transactions, plus higher fees, plus worse UX. Progress. “It’s the world’s only permissionless 24/7 settlement network.” Cool. It settles 7 transactions per second. Costs $5–$30 when the mempool sneezes. And your “final settlement” still waits 6 confirmations unless you like living dangerously. So yeah. It’s a scarce, censorship-resistant ledger that’s good for: • speculation • capital flight • ransomware • ideological flexing Which is fine. But pretending it’s a superior global payments system in 2026 is just performance art.

Usability is still a nightmare: self-custody is still terrifying for 99% of the population. The learning curve is too steep. The gap between L1/L2 is a UX mess; managing channels and inbound liquidity is complex. If the answer for the masses is "just use a custodial ETF," then we have just recreated the banking system we tried to escape.

Not confident enough to take high stakes bets, but I feel crypto is overall toast. Hardly anyone talks about it, hardly anyone actually uses it. It's has a piss poor UX and is incredibly vulnerable. I'm happy I sold a while ago before BTC dipped under 100k - I don't think it has a bright future. Gold and Silver have outperformed it, the entire stock market outperformed it for years now with fewer risks.

At that time, I really thought they were overcomplicating things, but the past couple of years have helped me grasp the benefits of non-custodial solutions. It all makes complete sense. I have dabbled in a few wallets like MetaMask, Trust and Atomic. For simple things like holding, swapping and chain transfers, they are okay. But when things get rough and you need to make quick decisions, I begin to notice where the UX and quickness still lag behind the centralized options. Are you actually using non-custodial solutions for perps or are you mostly using spot? Do you use aggregators to route orders? Are you managing multiple wallets per chain or have you simplified your configuration in some way? Or did you just end up going back to a centralized exchange and accepting the trade-offs? Not trying to start a discussion on the "perfect future," just curious how others are dealing with this at the moment. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

True — Lightning solves speed and invoices are easy. My point isn’t about speed, it’s about ops + UX at scale. Even with Lightning or on-chain, you still have to collect addresses/invoices, verify them, and manage human error for many recipients. This is about removing address exchange from the workflow entirely, not making Bitcoin faster. Speed vs. UX friction are two different problems.

This is a wild example, but it actually shows a real problem in crypto UX and infrastructure. Most people think fees are just “gas settings,” but in reality there are multiple layers involved, fee estimation, mempool conditions, and sometimes tooling that simply fails under edge cases. When that happens, the protocol does exactly what it’s supposed to do… even if the result is brutal. What’s often overlooked is that a big part of fee inefficiency comes from **infrastructure**, not users. Proof generation, verification, and execution logic can introduce unexpected costs, and projects like **Cysic** are focused on improving that layer so these extreme scenarios become less likely over time. Until tooling matures, cases like this are a reminder: always double-check fees manually, especially on Bitcoin, where there’s no undo button.

retoswap is part of the reason i'm writing this, and I think many others are confused like me so its worth posting. it requires 0.1 xmr but how do you get xmr if you're looking to acquire it? It's dumb and app UX is terrible imo also

Successful_Rub2434

* **The "Everything Hub" Review:** "I finally moved away from juggling Trust and MetaMask for everything. Cwallet 3.0 is actually nuts—supporting 60+ chains (including Lightning and Sui) in one place is the UX win we’ve been waiting for in 2026. The feeless swaps are the cherry on top. 🍒"

Early_Rutabaga_6270

In general, people split this into two buckets: Centralized exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance): easier UX, good liquidity, but you’re trusting the platform with custody. On-chain / DeFi trading: more control, but steeper learning curve and easier to mess up if you’re new. If you’re starting out, sticking to a well-known, regulated exchange with basic features is usually safer than chasing fancy tools. Use strong 2FA, don’t leave long-term funds on the exchange, and ignore DMs offering “help.” Once you’re more comfortable, aggregators and non-custodial tools can make sense — r/ Rubic gets mentioned for swaps, but that’s more for DeFi users than pure trading. What helped me was starting simple, small amounts, and only adding complexity after I understood the risks.

Sea-Environment-5938

This is promising, but the real test will be UX and fees. If users don't feel friction compared to Apple Pay or cards, That's when 'crypto payments' actually become meaningful.

0xpolygonlabs

The Open Money Stack (OMS) uses Agglayer as one form of interoperability that can be enhanced with Sequence’s Trails product. Trails is the UX layer on top of the Agglayer technical layer. It enables transferring tokens via the Agglayer and other bridges in one click for any easy user experience.   Coinme fits perfectly for regulated fiat on/off-ramps (cash/digital in 48+ US states), bridging tradfi to onchain compliantly. Sequence is foundational too: its enterprise-grade wallets and Trails (intent-based 1-click orchestration) layer on top of Agglayer for effortless cross-chain payments, abstracting complexity while Agglayer handles secure settlement. Together, they accelerate OMS end-to-end.

0xpolygonlabs

Trails (from Sequence) is an intent-based orchestration layer that simplifies cross-chain payments with 1-click experiences that handles the routing of any token/wallet/chain without users managing bridges or swaps.  It complements Agglayer's pessimistic proof approach beautifully: Agglayer provides the secure, unified settlement foundation, treating chains "pessimistically" to guarantee no over-withdrawals via ZK proofs and the unified bridge, while Trails adds user-friendly, high-conversion orchestration on top making the whole flow invisible and reliable. We're integrating them to accelerate OMS. Agglayer ensures cryptographic safety and liquidity unification across ecosystems while Trails enhances real-world payment UX. This keeps everything open while delivering the best of both worlds.

Dizzy_Example9932

embedded wallets trade flexibility for simplicity. electrum is powerful but dated. wallets like Best Wallet focus more on UX without giving up self custody

Otherwise-Trick749

To be honest, 10 years in crypto is an eternity. Solana has the best UX and speed right now, which is great for adoption, but predicting where any altcoin will be in a decade is basically gambling. I’m bullish for this cycle, but I wouldn't lock it away for 10 years without checking on it.

Mission_Department12

trust is a big word in crypto 😅 i stopped trusting any single app a while ago. i just look for non custodial + decent UX. moved most stuff to best wallet recently and so far it’s been less buggy than what i used before.

BiokriptPro

We’re currently working through the **CoinMarketCap listing**, which is key for credibility and organic discovery. Once that’s live, scaling content, KOLs, and paid traffic becomes much more efficient because users can verify data themselves. In parallel, we’re improving UX so new traders actually convert and stay. Acquisition without retention doesn’t work.

MaximumStudent1839

>  The difference here is having confidential transfers natively on a high throughput L1. It feels more about making the UX usable for actual businesses. It was always possible. But it didn't get much attention because the space didn't really care enough about usage and always treated it more like a speculative narrative. If it were more usage-driven, like Monero, these things don't just fade away and come back all of a sudden because some cabal decides it is the meta. Maybe crypto retails are just "imbeciles" and were negligent about their privacy hygiene. You could also argue "institutions" and "businesses" can't afford to be "imbeciles". So they have to care about privacy on-chain. But then it would just be a common thing, not really worth hyping. Just let them use it like any tool. Don't understand all the hubbub.

Vamacharin

Agreed. You're not wrong about the tech stack, the primitives have been around since Zcash / Secret. But I think the 'novelty' here is the implementation. When talking about things happening in 2022, privacy meant bridging to a slow, isolated privacy chain. The difference here is having confidential transfers natively on a high throughput L1. It feels more about making the UX usable for actual businesses.

North-Exchange5899

Most platforms can route and aggregate, but they won’t move cash or give you direct Wintermute/Cumberland/FalconX access without separate onboarding...that’s kind of the bottleneck right now. TealStreet is nice UX-wise...but yeah... venue depth is still limited.

Financial-Bus6023

all decent platforms tbh, comes down to fees and UX. i mostly use exchanges as on ramps only. once BTC is bought i send it straight to best wallet and forget about the rest

0xpolygonlabs

Definitely. And while the rest already exists, we believe it can become a more seamless stack. Right now, there’s a lot of friction between different layers of the stack. And while it might be manageable for many in web3, we want better a better UI/UX for everyone, from retail to institutions

Rare_Rich6713

You’re not alone ETH’s technology and real-world usage have improved massively, but price doesn’t always reflect that right away. A lot of capital still sits in BTC and speculation, not fundamentals. Also think about projects like xMoney that help bring real utility like payments, easier UX, native settlement that’s the kind of demand that should actually move markets but still price is very low.

Numerous_Wonders81

Scudo is a UX win, not a monetary breakthrough. It makes tokenized gold easier to price and move, but it doesn’t change the core reality: XAU₮ is still custodial, issuer-trusted gold. That’s the key difference vs BTC. Bitcoin isn’t just divisible or digital — it removes the need to trust an issuer at all. Scudo improves gold on crypto rails, but it doesn’t turn gold into trust-minimized money. Useful product. Not a replacement for Bitcoin or Algorand.

mugoosett

i\`d hughly recommend IronWallet. Used Exodus before that, don\`t like UX

Numerous_Wonders81

Solana still benefits from strong trader mindshare and fast UX, but the broader market hasn’t really forgotten the history of outages, validator centralization concerns, and the fact that a lot of activity has been highly incentive-driven rather than organic demand.

Internal_Resort5451

Yeah, the UX and fees look nice for stacking, but long term I’d still move BTC off any app like this into self-custody. Even something simple like holding it in a non-custodial wallet (Solflare supports BTC alongside other chains now) gives you way more control than leaving it on a platform, no matter how polished the app is

Low-Albatross-9246

Today, crypto works well for: • holding assets • trading • long-term investing But it still works poorly as everyday money: • sending small amounts quickly • paying someone in real life • using crypto without intermediaries or custodians • having a simple, honest UX without hidden abstractions ASTRÂ focuses on one thing only (for now): making peer-to-peer crypto payments simple, transparent, and non-custodial, so crypto can actually be used, not just held. If you already have tools that do this perfectly for you, then you probably don’t need ASTRÂ and that’s fine. We’re building for people who want: • direct wallet-to-wallet payments • no custody • no internal balances • no “bank-like” layer pretending to be crypto

Low-Albatross-9246

To be clear: ASTRÂ (it's the name for right now) is not a bank, not a neobank, and not a custodial payment system. ASTRÂ is a non-custodial crypto wallet designed for real-world payments and spending. The app never holds user funds, never creates internal balances, and never intermediates transactions. Users keep full control of their funds on-chain. When they pay for something, whether it’s sending money to someone, paying at a bar, or eventually buying everyday items, the transaction happens directly from their wallet to the recipient’s wallet on the blockchain. ASTRÂ simply provides the interface to view balances, sign transactions, and send payments. In MVP1, the focus is on peer-to-peer payments to validate real usage and UX. Broader spending use cases (shops, venues, everyday payments) build on the same logic: direct, non-custodial, wallet-to-wallet transactions without the app ever holding funds. The long-term goal is to make crypto usable as money, not just something to hold while staying transparent and non-custodial by design. take times to right it (i was kinda lazy to explain it in the post)

DaVirus

Kraken Pro. It's the best UX + Fees combination in my opinion. Use LN as your out and you get all the privacy if a mixer.

MakCapital

L2s are separate states with high risk and poor end user properties. Users inherit the properties of the L2 they transact on. Not the L1 they're built on. What happens on the L2 does not happen on the L1. Separate issuance, ownership, markets. They can offer scalable TPS but will always be worse on other metrics that matter for capital markets. They reset network effects as a new state, and compete for users with their settlement chain and other L2s. They fracture. Not unify. They introduce more risk & trust. Not reduce. More importantly, you can't build global finance on Coinbase's authority and admin keys. You can't ever expect full privacy and censorship resistance with central points of failure. Can't expect credible neutrality. Can't expect easy UX with bridging and 40 different versions of the same asset. Can't expect clear end user risk assumptions or high security with admin keys. All downside. No upside over a scalable L1. Most importantly, user revenue from L2 activity goes to the L2 operator. Not the layer they write receipts to. This is critical. If you're bullish on centralized L2s, then you should be most bullish on the operator capturing the revenue. For example: Base revenue sent to Coinbase. COIN. L1 that scales with users > Any L2 ^ Any day of the week. **Much** more to consider than raw TPS limits. L2s should exist as "app chains" or extensions. Never as a replacement of the main chain. This is where they fall apart. Scale Ethereum. The main state.

STORJ. Real utility potential. Horrible UI for anyone who isn’t a Linux nerd with fiber bandwidth. This project stands to compete with S3/Backblaze/etc. Make it accessible to normies, like running SETI. Maybe make payouts in BTC to incentivize more adoption. Make an end user UI/UX sexy Real potential here other than swing trading.

thecryptoguide13

UX friction is a stage of development, not a protocol failure. Early TCP/IP was complex, yet the world settled on it because of its underlying utility. Institutional wrappers like ETFs and custodians bridge the gap for the demographics you mentioned, allowing them to benefit from the asset's scarcity without the burden of personal key management.

thecryptoguide13

UX hurdles like seed phrases don't change the underlying math of supply. The 'no electricity' argument is a non-starter because the entire modern financial infrastructure—including gold trading and vaulting—collapses without power. Bitcoin is simply the first protocol to solve for absolute scarcity within our existing digital reality

Icy_Adhesiveness7635

I don’t see ETH replacing BTC, but I also don’t see it disappearing. * BTC = store of value / macro hedge. * ETH = infrastructure. Different roles. By 2026, I think ETH survives and stays relevant because of: * – L2 scaling (rollups doing the heavy lifting) * – real usage (DeFi, stablecoins, RWAs) * – fees moving off mainnet instead of killing it The risk isn’t BTC, it’s fragmentation: too many L2s, UX complexity, and regulation. So my gut feeling: ETH won’t “moon and flip BTC”, but it won’t be replaced either. It stays core infra — just less hype, more utility.

FOMOmeterCrypto

At some point it stops being crypto and just becomes a casino with worse UX.

PoisedStoppage

Feels like prediction markets are more about onboarding flow and UX right now, while sharp books like Bet105 or Pinnacle stay focused on price efficiency. I think both can coexist but for serious edge? Still hard to beat tight pricing and no KYC setups for me at least

Amwestlyle

I like testing different wallets and flows to see what sticks. Best Wallet stood out when I compared setup time and backup steps across a few options. I keep notes on UX, fees, and recovery clarity, since small friction points can matter later if I need to move funds quickly during real use cases in my experience often enough overall.

thecryptoguide13

BitBox02 is the current sweet spot for the balance between UX and open-source security. Blockstream Jade is the best budget alternative if you want a camera for air-gapped setups. Only go for Coldcard if you’re a power user who wants zero compromises and is willing to handle a higher learning curve

Sorry_Degree_7933

Fair question — let me clarify what I mean by “the system.” By system I mean Bitcoin as a monetary network (rules + issuance + settlement), not the stock market. Berkshire was just an analogy to show that participation doesn’t require owning a whole unit — probably not the best example here, my bad. You’re right that merchant acceptance drives payment adoption (credit cards, POS, etc.). Bitcoin adoption actually happens on two layers: • Payments/settlement → driven by UX, fees, rails (Lightning, custody, etc.) • Savings/monetary adoption → driven by credibility, predictability, and scarcity High price or scarcity doesn’t make people swipe BTC at Starbucks — it makes them trust it as a long-term monetary asset. That’s closer to how gold adoption worked than how credit cards spread. Fiat doesn’t need scarcity because it’s enforced by law and taxation. Bitcoin has no issuer or legal mandate, so credibility has to emerge from hard rules + market consensus over time. So price isn’t the cause of adoption — it’s a signal that the network’s monetary properties are being valued.

Moist_Equivalent4158

Lightning is clutch but the UX is still pretty rough for normies tbh, most people just want to hit send and not worry about channel liquidity and all that

crypto_ad_97

I think on-chain neobanks are underestimated, but not because they’ll “replace banks” overnight. The key difference is that they’re not just fintech apps sitting on top of legacy rails. Their core settlement layer lives on-chain, which is a structural shift: 24/7 payments, instant finality, fewer intermediaries for cross-border transfers, and much lower operating costs. That said, banking isn’t only a tech problem. Regulation, trust, UX, and integration with the existing financial system (salaries, taxes, credit) still matter a lot. That’s why I don’t see pure on-chain banks fully taking over in the short term. The most likely outcome is a hybrid model: blockchains become the underlying financial infrastructure (settlement, payments, programmability), while user-facing layers and compliance evolve gradually. Similar to how the internet didn’t kill companies but changed how they operate, on-chain banking probably won’t eliminate banks — but it will force them to adapt.

Ok_Laugh2745

Onchain games feel more like experiments than magic formulas to me. Best Wallet let me test interactions quickly, which helped me understand friction points. I focus on UX, costs, and fun, since in my experience those basics decide whether games stick more than any claimed secret sauce.

mukul170

Building a wallet extension pushes you to think about UX, signing flows, and threat models. Best Wallet stood out when I tested similar features, mainly around onboarding and recovery. I liked some choices, questioned others, and took notes. In my experience iterating with real users can surface security gaps early. It may help refine permissions and error handling over time.

wordlife2010

For Solana long-term, I see a few real pros and risks: * **Pros:** insanely fast UX, cheap fees, and real usage (NFTs, DeFi, consumer apps). It’s one of the few chains where non-crypto people actually stick around. * **Ecosystem depth:** dev activity and tooling are strong, and a lot of teams build *only* on Solana, which helps network effects. * **Risks:** hardware requirements and past outages are valid concerns. It’s improved a lot, but decentralization vs performance is still a trade-off. * **10-year view:** survival matters more than hype. If Solana keeps shipping and attracting users, it doesn’t need to “kill Ethereum” to do well. In my case, I treat it like a high-conviction but not no-risk L1 — not all-in, but not ignoring it either.

You’re confusing reduced attack surface with eliminated risk. Online banking is “more secure” because it is custodial, reversible, insured, and backed by fraud teams. When users get compromised, transactions are rolled back and losses socialised. That model does not exist for Bitcoin. One mistake is final. Best practices like cold wallets and address hygiene already exist. They have for years. The fact that they are still routinely ignored proves the point. Security advice does not equal security outcomes. Markets do not force humans to be more competent. They force abstraction. As systems get more complex, users rely more on UX, intermediaries, recovery flows, and trust signals. That is exactly where social engineering thrives. Regulation and banks backing Bitcoin does not make users safer. It pushes them toward custodians, which simply reintroduces the same human and institutional failure modes Bitcoin was designed to avoid. This is not about emotion. It’s about threat models. Proof of work defends consensus. It does not defend people. Dismissing that gap is not optimism. It’s wishful thinking.

I mean a crypto-to-real-life use case where you actually paid for something, moved money, got paid, or solved a boring problem… faster/cheaper than TradFi. For me, the winner is **stablecoins**. Why? Because the pain is real: * Remittances can eat \~6%+ in fees on average, and much higher in some corridors. * Stablecoins have quietly become massive payment rails (TRM estimated >$4T in stablecoin transaction volume Jan–Jul 2025). * Even Visa is pushing stablecoin settlement with USDC for institutions now. That’s “crypto” doing the unsexy job: moving money 24/7. **Quick story:** a friend in Nairobi did a freelance gig for a US client. Bank wire would've taken days + surprise fees. He got paid in USDC, cashed out locally, and was buying groceries the same afternoon. No drama. That’s the bar for me: fewer steps, lower fees, and less “please hold” energy. If a use case needs three wallets, two bridges, and a Discord mod, it’s not real life yet. Same filter for any presale crypto coins or ai crypto presale: show me users, not memes. And if it breaks when gas spikes, adoption dies instantly. Simplicity wins. Period. **Other real-world use cases I’ve seen** ***actually stick***\*\*:\*\* 1. **Getting paid globally** (freelancers, creators, remote teams) without waiting 3–5 business days. 2. **Everyday spending** via crypto cards / Apple Pay bridges (it’s basically an off-ramp with better UX). 3. **On-chain receipts** for tickets, loyalty, and memberships (less fraud, easier resale rules). 4. **Tokenised real-world assets** (still early, but the direction is obvious). I also browse the occasional **crypto presale** / **crypto presale list** to see who’s trying to connect crypto-to-real-life. Recently I came across **DigiTap Presale**: their pitch is an “omni-bank” style app with crypto + fiat wallets, plus virtual/physical cards that work with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and a $TAP token tied to rewards/buybacks (not affiliated, DYOR). Not financial advice. Just curious. No shilling, please. **So I’m curious:** what’s the best crypto-to-real-life use case you’ve personally used (or seen someone use) that made you go, “okay… this is real” — and why is it a crypto-to-real-life use case worth copying? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If you’re okay with Solana assets, Solflare’s been solid for me smooth UX, no weird extra fees, and USDC/USDT on Solana works great. For full top-50 coverage you’ll probably still need more than one wallet though.

just tried with 0.2 btc and went smoothly, I hate the UX tho but it doesn't matter much I guess x)

On-chain apps still expose more system state than Web2, which changes UX expectations. Web2 hides latency and finality, while on-chain forces users to understand transactions, settlement, and state changes. What’s interesting is how newer apps reduce this gap through faster settlement, fewer signing steps, and better frontend abstractions, without fully hiding what’s happening under the hood.

Check out [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/), Bitcoin-only, very easy UX, and tons of advanced features for when you need them. Disclaimer: I work for BitBox as a dev, let me know if you have any specific questions.

Post is by: Hardext92 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pooy6a/crosschain_liquidity_in_prediction_markets_sx/ SX Bet uses a hub-and-spoke setup Core liquidity/settlement on SX Rollup (custom Arbitrum Orbit), but direct access from chains like Arbitrum/Mode/Scroll via bridges. No liquidity split,everything funnels to the rollup for unified books. P2P structure + 0% core fees lets makers compete globally, tightening spreads. Fast blocks enable in-play viability. Vs. traditional platforms: Fully verifiable on-chain, non-custodial wallets (no deposits). But wallet UX and gas (even low) add steps. Does this model scale better for event markets than pure multi-chain? How could account abstraction improve it? Noticed differences in price efficiency due to open participation? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Sure, it's not a great situation. But with some basic UX considerations the transition doesn't have to be terrible for users. They shouldn't need to move wallets, the wallet just needs to add the post-quantum features and then prompt the user about moving their balance to the new wallet/address type. The burn vs let-them-get-compromised decision for old addresses is a tough one, sure. I'm not sure we're fucked in either case though. Burning all non-QT-ready funds would be a huge decision, but I'm not sure you could argue it's a slippery slope, and if we're able to set up the schedule years ahead of time then who's going to complain? Letting the funds get compromised would probably be the harder to recover from, but even a sudden flood of millions of coins onto the market wouldn't necessarily kill BCH. BCH has dropped below #30 in market cap before, but it's clawed its way back up to 11. It's got a dedicated community of early bitcoiners and recent adopters who recognize its unique value proposition compared to any other crytpocurrency. We'll see!

The whole industry kinda tends to be slow when it comes to UX lol

Yeah... you're right. UX has been a problem. That's exactly why I didn't start developing on the platform years ago. It was completely overwhelming. Understanding parachains is a lot harder than understanding how to dev against the EVM. However, Polkadot is evolving. The focus, for a long time, has been on developing a solid platform. Most of those massive improvements will be wrapping up next year and the focus will be shifting from platform to products. There's a lot happening to improve the developer and user experience right now and it will pick up steam next year.

It went to 53 and never recovered. Problem is UX is abysmal

I like the feature set of Sparrow more. Specially the SeedQR stuff and the UX.

No, you said that BTC was restricted to the BTC network and asked how it is different, and they are replying to you. - If I am in Mogadisciu and open a bank account with a local bank (requiring me to go in person, provide my ID, possibly pay fees, and wait several days to get a debit/credit card) - If I am in Mogadisciu and create a Bitcoin wallet, it takes less than 5 minutes and I am setup. When I make/receive a transfer: - The bank is going to check whether they allow the origin or destination bank. Most likely (at least in my bank in Germany and Spain) I need to pay extra for an instant transfer. And a regular transfer will not go in during weekends. If I want to transfer 200000 there is no way I can do that unless I provide my bank with additional information. When I bought my car, and needed to pay/transfer 14000€, I had to do it in person, from 9 to 2pm, at one of the bank offices. - With BTC, nobody is going to check anything. I can make the transfer from home while having a coffee. I can even send money to a wallet that potentially “does not exist yet”. Of course, both sides are biased. On the crypto side, there is still a big technical barrier to understand and profuciently use the system. If you don’t double-check, you can just lose your funds and no entity can help you revert that. You can lock yourself out of your wallet, forever, too. The network is slow AF and it only works with small fees and high speed via sidechains and other systems, which - as has been stated - can take several days to settle. But the truth is, on a good day, and if the UX is simpler and settlement is quick (or you don’t care), you can indeed send 200k$ with under $1 fees, no questions asked, while preparing a coffee.
