UX

Original-Side7370

Oh interesting — yeah, MWEB was actually one of the first things that came to my mind too when I started thinking about this. So I totally get why you’d bring it up. MWEB does handle amounts privately in a really clean way, and I really like how Litecoin implemented it without breaking UX. What I’m thinking about here is a bit different though — less about the mechanics of hiding data, and more about the experience of choosing what is visible and to whom. Almost like: MWEB solves confidentiality, but I’m curious about whether digital money can also express the social side of visibility that physical cash naturally has. Not disagreeing with you at all — your comparison actually helps me frame the idea better. I appreciate you bringing it up.

>Come on, send me your address No thank you but I appreciate the offer. you're still focused on the least important part because even if it could scale perfectly with add-ons and updates it doesn't really matter for every other reason listed and a bunch. Lightning Network (LN) problems: Liquidity issues: Payments fail if channels don’t have funds in the right direction. Rebalancing is a pain and gets worse at scale. On-chain bottleneck: Opening/closing channels still requires L1 transactions. If fees spike, LN becomes expensive and clogged. Routing complexity: Multi-hop payments fail more often than people think. Nodes must stay online, and mass-exit attacks can stress the system. UX friction: Users need channels, liquidity, and maintenance. It’s not “send BTC → done” yet. Centralisation risk: Big routing hubs naturally emerge because they have the most liquidity. Liquid Network problems: Federated trust model: Faster and more flexible, but less decentralized than base Bitcoin. Peg-in/peg-out friction: Moving BTC into/out of Liquid is slow and clunky. Low liquidity / smaller ecosystem: Fewer wallets, fewer users, less real-world flow. Functionary dependence: If enough of them go offline, block creation can stall. Not true “mass scaling”: Great for settlements and asset issuance, but not designed for billions of micro-payments. .

Unfortunately, it is a consequence of the space’s religious belief in immutability. Crypto is an extremely low trust environment once you go on chain. You really have to pretend you are in some extremely shady country once you go on-chain. It is not a coincidence because global shady actors all have access to farm you. When I interact with a protocol, I go through a long routine to double check and triple check everything. Check contract address for suspicious activity. Check if I didn’t get spoofed into a trap url. There is a lot of things to do. This is why I routinely say, on chain is overrated. It won’t the adoption industry heads will say because crypto immutability is just a too hostile UX setup for your average user.

Glue will fix this. Omnichain DEX with the UX of a CEX.

Eth could use ICP to solve scaling and UX issues. ICP wouldn’t replace Eth, but rather complete it, letting ETH remain money and settlement while ICP handles decentralized web & compute. But for that to happen, tough conversations would be needed. No point in wasting more years to achieve what someone already has

Hardware wallets exist for one simple reason: to give you the highest level of protection for your crypto. When you use a software or mobile wallet, your private keys are stored on a device that connects to the internet. That means malware, phishing links, etc put your assets at risk. A hardware wallet solves this by keeping your private keys completely offline. Even when you connect it to a computer to make a transaction, the signing process happens inside the device itself. Your keys never touch the internet. Paper wallets sound simple but have major risks. They can fade, get lost, or be copied without your knowledge. If you ever need to move funds, importing them to a computer exposes the keys directly to the internet, removing all the security you thought you had. A hardware wallet removes that exposure while giving you full self-custody. Hardware wallets are basically just an added layer of security for coins. For a long time, they didn't provide a good UX, and that hurt their adoption. But companies like Trezor have come a long way improving the UX while maintaining high security standards. Trezor just released their Model 7 and in my opinion, it's the best hardware wallet on the market. They are actually doing an AMA on Nov 18-20 on this sub, so you may want to check that out!

This piece identifies the core challenge: user onboarding. "Turning financial participation into something rewarding and accessible" is the holy grail. The tech is only half the battle; the UX is the war.

Have been using u/Teller\_Yield for the last month or so and loving the yield opportunities for Base Token exposure USDC yield pumped to \~ 35 - 40% this week based on people taking out loans to buy the dip (guessing here) Some simple feature requests I would like to see: \- A claim all button for staking / supply rewards \- Clearer UX for what opportunities I have to take a loan and earn greater interest than what is owed for said loan (farming) \- Potential integration with Banker (BNKR) or Superfluid for streaming paybacks of loans \- A Share button when claiming to X / Farcaster to show how much you are earning on telller Overall loving the platform and has been one of the better finds over the last couple months, can't wait for the next update

executor is currently in beta and only work on desktop. the thing with executor is that it's not our focus as of now. Agent owned/operated wallet/transaction is definitely the future, and Surf already support a lot of the use cases (all the demos listed on our website). BUT there are unsolved problems: 1. Security is a serious concern. we don't want users to connect their wallets. 2. UX is still bad. users will have to fund in-app wallet to do most transactions. (we do provide gas token on some chains to begin with) 2. Can't see the one use case that's so scalable and so necessary to be done by agents. It's still an important part of Surf and our roadmap. Just wanted to be perfectly transparent on the current state.

Post is by: holle1997 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://www.kcex.com/exchange/BTC_USDT?inviteCode=Z3UQQS I wanted to share a quick summary of my experience with Kcex, a smaller crypto exchange I stumbled across last week. They’ve been running a KYC incentive campaign for new users — not some “free $100” gimmick, but more of a credit you can use for trading once you verify your account. I figured I’d test it with small amounts just to see if the platform actually works. Here’s what I noticed so far: KYC was pretty fast (took around 15 minutes). The interface looks clean, very similar to Bitget/Bybit. Deposit/withdrawal UI works fine — I withdrew a small amount of USDT to test and it went through in ~5 minutes. They have a futures section, spot pairs seem active but not huge volume. Pros: decent UX, fast verification, responsive support. Cons: small liquidity, limited public info about audits or reserves. I’m not promoting them, just documenting a test in case anyone else was curious. If you’re checking it out, obviously do your own research — never throw big money at smaller exchanges before testing withdrawals. But so far, mine went through smoothly. Curious if anyone else here has used Kcex longer term — how stable has it been for you? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Cool to see Cardano pushing on better randomness. For folks comparing designs, a few points from the Algorand side: • Grinding resistance & randomness have been “day-1”: Algorand’s Pure PoS uses VRF-based cryptographic sortition to privately pick proposers/committees. You only learn who was selected after they reveal their VRF proof inside the block, so there’s nothing to “grind” ahead of time. Committees are ephemeral and change every round. • Deterministic finality: When a block is certified by the committee it’s final—no reorg game, no “wait k blocks.” Latency is single-digit seconds with thousands-TPS throughput, so the UX is: submit → final. • Separation of powers in the round: Algorand splits roles (block proposal vs. soft-vote vs. certify-vote) across independently sorted committees. That reduces the blast radius even if an attacker briefly controls stake or DDoSes a set of nodes—next round is a fresh lottery. • Upgrades without hard forks: Protocol upgrades are activated by on-chain voting and flip over network-wide once consensus passes—historically without chain splits. So you get cryptography-level changes without the social fork risk. • MEV & ordering: Because the elected leader is unknown until reveal and committees certify quickly, there’s less surface for mempool games vs. long, reorg-friendly windows. None of this is a dunk on Cardano—Phalanx sounds like it’s moving Ouroboros toward the same north star: publicly verifiable, ungameable randomness feeding a secure PoS. The difference is mostly where each chain started (Algorand shipped with VRFs+deterministic finality) versus what’s being added now.

gmgm! We are currently overhauling how the points system is shown in the app, this will be coming with our next major UX update. However, the points ARE being tracked onchain for all borrow side volume 😉 More updates coming soon...

Teller_Yield

gmgm! 1. It is correct, Teller is almost 3 years old and we still haven't TGE :) 2. We are currently overhauling how the points system is shown in the app, this will be coming with our next major UX update. 3. The points are currently only active for borrow volume, but they are being tracked internally onchain. (Teller only makes money on the borrow side, we take 1% of that volume as revenue.) Stay tuned for more on this...

Teller_Yield

Love this thinking! Upward and onward 🫡 Main goals: 1. New UX overhaul: Separating the borrow and earn flows and better guiding the users step by step through the process of each. 2. Shipping CLAIM ALL and AUTO COMPOUND functions: These are our most requested features and will save users a bunch of time. 3. Scaling our Base Mini App: The Base ecosystem is growing rapidly and mini apps have been a great way to increase distribution. 4. Integrating with AI agents like Bankr and AskGina: There are some functions that can only be achieved agenticly, like auto rollover and auto claim / restake. This is a bit further down the road but will completely change the user experience. Thanks a lot for the great question 🤝

Teller_Yield

Thanks for the kind words! We are going to improve the UX flow even more soon as well. This bootstrapping model worked well for or Mainnet and Base pools and the main driver for borrowing was educating users on 'what they can do with their loans'. We are cooking up some cool strategies for DCAing and farming and will post them here soon.

If you've ever spent any time in the Ethereum sub, you'd know that Rabby is the most recommended wallet in the community along with Metamask. I use Rabby for my DeFi account because it provides more security features and has much better UX than Metamask. Metamask is still a fine wallet, and I use it for my cold wallet. Rabby in particular is very popular among power users and Ethereum devs who care about about security. Vitalik and other core devs have mentioned using it in past AMAs. https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/191kke6/comment/kh7fg51/ https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1iw8ln8/comment/mepkf75/

HSuke

Rabby is very popular in the Ethereum community and ethdev community, especially among professionals. https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1njk67a/best_ethereum_focused_wallet/ They're both fine. I use Rabby for my DeFi account because it provides more security features and has better UX, and use Metamask for my cold account since I rarely need to touch it and I bet Metamask will be around forever.

HSuke

Meh. Metamask is fine though it has gotten a little worse with their new UX. I liked it more when it was cleaner and more professional. However, Rabby is just better and has more security features.

Getting into crypto is easier if you treat it like a small project with clear steps. Best Wallet pairs simple UX with sensible safety defaults. Start with education and tiny amounts. Open an account at a reputable fiat on-ramp, do a coffee-money buy, then withdraw a small test to your own wallet and verify it on a block explorer. Keep only a working float on exchanges with hardware-key 2FA and withdrawal whitelists on. For storage, use a hardware signer for savings and a watch-only view so you don’t unlock keys to peek. Backups matter most: write the seed on paper or metal, store two copies in separate places, and consider an optional passphrase only if you can manage it long term. Build habits early, like bookmarking dapps, avoiding search-ad installs, setting spend caps, and doing a monthly approval review. No profit promises here, just a routine that reduces avoidable mistakes.

DigitalHierophant

Strong this. This reddit thread is the most obviously paid for post i've ever seen lol. I've tried to use Kraken several times in the past but it has the worst UX/UI next to coinbase, crypto .com, and binance.

Laukess

I would get a ColdCard, but doesn't really matter. Trezor is probably fine. I'm not going to answer your question, I'm sure others will. I will however tell you that it's important you understand the point of a hardware wallet. A lot of stories about people who get a hardware wallet, but then types in their seed online somewhere, like their hardware wallet software on the computer (which has been compromised, and asks for your seed to steal your money). You should read more about this yourself, but you can think of it as a computer that has your private keys. The wallet on your computer (I'll refer to this as your software wallet) will be able to see the bitcoin you've received and you'll be able to generate new addresses where people can send you money. You can create transactions in your software wallet, but you need to sign them with your private keys before they are valid. You send this unsigned transaction to your hardware wallet, and the job of your hardware wallet is to sign it with the private keys, and send it back to your software wallet, where you can transmit it to the network. It will seem a lot more simple when you use the software wallet, because a lot of this complexity is hidden by the UX. This is a good thing, it makes it a lot easier to use. The point of the hardware wallet is to isolate the private keys from your computer. It protects you against a lot of attacks. The software wallet could be compromised, and when you send a transaction, it could change the receive address to one the attacker owns. This is one of the reasons why all good hardware wallets have a display, so you can verify on your device that the send address is the correct one. You should have your private key backed up on steel. You should only use it to put it into your hardware wallet. If your hardware wallet dies, you should buy a new one and put your seed into it. This might seem a bit over the top, but it's important to understand it's purpose so you don't end up giving your seed to an attacker. Good luck on your journey. It can seem daunting at first, but you can take small steps and change things as you learn.

Kraken might be a good escape from crappy exchanges. The UX is smooth and with the latest addition of profit/loss display it’s better than ever.

Acrobatic-Ad-2777

There are many options for cold wallets. Things to check for: 1) open source (allows for auditing) 2) secure element 3) ability to buy direct from manufacturer 4) UX that fits you Would personally suggest coldcard or if something more mainstream, Trezor Ledger feels too corporate nowadays. Haven’t tried bitkey, but heard good things

Rare_Rich6713

I felt the same way about MetaMask it works, but the UX just feels outdated and buggy at times. I switched over to xPortal a while ago and it’s been way smoother. It’s non-custodial so you still own your keys, and the interface actually feels modern. You can manage multiple wallets, swap tokens, stake, and even get a crypto card if that’s your thing.

I used MetaMask for a while but honestly the UX was clunky, and I keep running into complaints about bugs and issues that don’t seem to go away. What are people here using instead? I’ve heard of wallets like Trust and also newer ones like Bitlock wallet that bundle trading tools, cross-chain swaps, and scam detection into one app. Curious if anyone has tried them and how they compare.

As a user who has dedicated time to exploring its features, I feel compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. CoinBlast is not just another typical auction site; it is an integrated ecosystem designed to genuinely reward user activity—a significant departure from the passive or opaque models of many traditional platforms. ​Initially, I approached it with a degree of skepticism, as is natural when encountering promises of online earning. However, after diving into my own experience, particularly participating in the daily auctions and tackling various earning tasks, I quickly realized that the platform is built on a foundation of transparency and real reward for active participation. ​Core Experience 1: The Thrill of Auctions and Bidding ​The most immediately captivating element of CoinBlast is its auction system. It delivers an exciting combination of strategy and competitive thrill. Unlike conventional auctions where success often hinges solely on having the deepest pockets, the CoinBlast model utilizes a specific bidding currency (BIDs) that, to me, grants a greater sense of fairness and opportunity for every user. ​I distinctly recall an auction where I participated, targeting an exclusive NFT pack. The competition was fierce, yet the entire process felt highly transparent. The real-time tracking of bids adds an element of excitement and suspense. Crucially, even when I didn't emerge victorious in some auctions, I didn't feel a total loss; the platform seems designed to provide small compensations for participation (often in the form of minor rewards or experience points). This mechanism significantly lowers the "pain of losing" and encourages users to return with a refined strategy. ​The utilization of BIDs as the main auction currency is a clever innovation. It establishes a mild barrier to entry for the larger auctions, ensuring serious players are involved, while simultaneously allowing the BIDs themselves to be earned or purchased relatively easily, thus keeping the platform accessible to a broad audience. ​Core Experience 2: The Multiple Earning Pathways ​What kept me engaged with CoinBlast in the long term is the abundance of ways to earn outside of the auction hall. The "Journalist" task itself exemplifies this philosophy, actively encouraging users to contribute to community growth and spread awareness. I have successfully engaged with other tasks, such as watching short promotional videos and completing short surveys, which demand minimal effort in exchange for clear and immediate crypto rewards. ​The combination of different reward tokens (such as XRP, TRON, and the internal Star currency) creates a compelling incentive. My earnings were not restricted to a single token, which immediately provided me with portfolio diversification or the option to use the internal currency to boost my chances within the platform. This diversification in rewards is a key factor that helps CoinBlast truly stand out as a platform that values and compensates the user's time and effort. ​User Experience and Design (UX/UI) ​I must commend CoinBlast on its user interface. In a world saturated with overly complex and confusing crypto interfaces, CoinBlast offers a clean and intuitive design. Whether I am using the platform on my mobile device (which I do most frequently) or on my desktop, navigating between the tasks, the main dashboard, the auctions, and the wallet is seamless. ​Furthermore, I found the withdrawal process to be refreshingly clear and straightforward. This aspect is vital, as many platforms deliberately complicate withdrawals to create friction. The transparency in displaying my balance and earned rewards, coupled with a reasonable minimum withdrawal limit, instills a strong sense of trust and control over my digital assets. ​Conclusion: A Platform Worth Your Time ​Following my comprehensive experience of participating in auctions and using the platform’s earning features, I can confidently assert that CoinBlast is more than just a place to pick up some extra crypto; it is a smart platform that intelligently integrates elements of gamification, reward, and community building. It is not without its challenges—auctions can be competitive—but the multiple, structured reward systems ensure that your time and effort are genuinely valued. ​I highly recommend CoinBlast to anyone interested in cryptocurrencies who is looking for an interactive and enjoyable method to earn tokens like XRP and TRON while experiencing the thrill of digital auctions. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I look forward to seeing the future features and updates from this promising project. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ki4jgt

Please. . . What's the main issue? Because UX is always the main issue in my book. Meshtastic is amazing, but unless you have the IQ to figure everything out, you don't want to have anything to do with it. So people fallback to meshcore. When you want something to be adopted by the masses, your first goal is that they understand how it works, and how to use it. As it stands, only a few people understand crypto. You put a hardware wallet in someone's hands that automatically receives a transaction, and asks if they approve of it, and you've made crypto understandable to the masses. But. . . What's the main issue?

etherd0t

Sure, BitTorrent-level UX, but with a consensus engine bolted on so money can’t fork.

etherd0t

Yeah, uhm... there is 2FA and passwordless, no need for this sh\*t... * Latency: even instant chains add a few seconds. * Fees: tiny, but still not zero unless subsidized. * Privacy: linking wallet → web identity is traceable on-chain. * UX fragmentation: not yet standardized like WebAuthn. As a Web3 primitive...meh, okay - but then forget about privacy.

No you're not dumb this is actually a major headache of bitcoin when it comes to UX design. And this issue is unique to BTC only in crypto world since only BTC has such a high unit price. I really hope we can officially use sats or whatever unit for BTC, so instead of buying 0.00000001 BTC we can just say buying 1 *whatever unit here*

This is the most effective onboarding funnel crypto’s seen in years. No MetaMask. No gas fees. Just tap, play, and suddenly you’re farming tokens. That’s UX crypto never figured out until Telegram. Not sure if 1win is the breakout, but the model is sticky. Attention is the currency, and these games are printing it daily. Could be hype. But also could be how normies finally touch crypto without knowing they touched crypto

Dead af worst blockchain UX and UI I've ever used, don't even have any real stablecoins in there.

bitusher

P2p money is still is the point of bitcoin and why the lightning network is created and being so heavily developed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOmUpp3J9Ck A great problem for adoption as a currency is volatility . We hope volatility will drop in time with higher liquidity and UX keeps improving every year. Keep in mind that Bitcoin is going through the normal stages of becoming a currency. Collectible>Asset/commodity>volatile currency>Stable unit of account currency Right now Bitcoin is between stage 2 and 3. Another thing to keep in mind is that part of the transition will happen naturally with the newer generations who are more familiar with technology , prefer digital over physical, and don't trust traditional banks. For the data showing you the shift in the last 2 generations perspectives read these - https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/san2018-23.pdf https://perma.cc/6C7B-J5DD ---------- Lets discuss some of the properties of what makes a good currency and where Bitcoin fits now compared to gold and fiat **1) Durability** = Gold is best here due to its history and physical nature. Bitcoin and fiat being digital in nature means we must compare the durability of the institution/network that issues and secures them. I would suggest that Bitcoin will slightly excel responsible nation states here and does far better than unreliable forms of fiat when looking at the history of fiat compared the the history and properties of Bitcoin(2017 gave a lot of credibility to Bitcoin in it thwarting a powerful attack and nation states have repeatedly attacked Bitcoin to one degree or another) **2) Portability** = Gold is horrible in this category being physical, heavy and unable to be sent digitally(custodians don't count as you lose most the benefits of gold and it switched categories from a bearer asset to registered value). Bitcoin beats fiat here too as its peer to peer , global and lacks regulatory friction. **3) Fungibility** Gold and bitcoin tie here. When comparing fiat to Bitcoin it is more complicated but Bitcoin beats fiat here overall and is significantly getting better each year. Physical fiat has some advantages over Bitcoin in the sense that its easier to have strong privacy locally as long as the whole "anonymity set" (group of users) avoid depositing the fiat in ATMs and banks(physical cash has serial numbers that are tracked with OCR + bill readers everywhere). Bitcoin can be very private if you use the right wallet and you take precautions but if you make a mistake onchain you can also have problems. Bitcoin being used with a lightning wallet is extremely private by default and chain analysis is useless. Digital fiat isn't very fungible or private at all. Gold isn't as fungible as many people suggest either due to different grading, certifying prices, forms which all fetch different prices. **4) Scarcity** -- Bitcoin wins this hands down with a fixed and limited supply. ~2-4 million BTc have been permanently lost/destroyed and many people also a long term investors leading to more scarcity. Gold is a distant 2nd with concerns in asteroid mining - (Psyche 16 as an example) and not knowing if any other large deposit can be found but far superior to fiat. **5) Divisibility** Bitcoin is already divisible by 8 decimal places onchain and 1/1000 of a satoshi on other layers like lightning. Thus micro txs are possible with bitcoin and too impractical with gold and not as easily done with fiat due to regulatory friction and costs. The idea is that machines and software can tip other software, machines, and services by the minute or second to allow for more granularity and thus more efficiency with lower prices. **6) Acceptability** - Fiat wins this category for the time being due to its acceptance worldwide , especially US dollars. Bitcoin being a global currency without regulatory friction can one day overtake even the most accepted fiat however. Almost no one accepts gold for payment so its last and this is unlikely to change. **7) Verifiability** - Bitcoin wins here over gold and fiat. Gold can be verified but takes more effort and there are concerns with tungsten filled bars and fake gold. Bitcoin being swept from a private key(coin or paper) or accepting an open dime is better than fiat physical cash, and digital fiat has very large concerns and delays in verification (chargebacks, fraud, etc...) **8) stability as a unit of account** - While Bitcoin is better than certain forms of fiat in this category, most are more stable than bitcoin and so Bitcoin remains 3rd compared to fiat and gold. We hope that Bitcoin in time will become less volatile with a much larger market cap . This trend is already occurring ,and much economic theory supports this happening but its still an experiment as to how long it will take and what size market cap / liquidity is needed So you can see bitcoin is already better than fiat in 6 of the 8 categories above and the 2 remaining categories just take time.

You need to focus on the new alts, HYPE, ASTER and the likes, on the previous cycle a lot of alts didn't reach their previous ATH either. Everyone knows these days that for example ada is a dead blockchain, no volume, no stablecoins no defi activity and terrible UX if you try to use it. same for DOT and ALGO, I don't know outside of this sub anyone that does anything on these blockchains, you shouldn't focus on previous all time highs at all on these dead alts, they are far from it and most will not even get close to it

I still use Strike for those spot purchases. I found Kraken’s UX overboard; I’m not trying to day trade and game the highs & lows, I just wanna exchange my dollars for bitcoin.

SemperDeeper

I too started with River, found Strike, then fully converted to Strike (even transferred my River balance over). I used Kraken Pro a few times for spot purchases, but I found Strike’s UX beats everyone else. I’m all-in with Strike, and take advantage of all their services to enjoy the lower fee tier (direct deposit & bill pay).

BlacksmithBudget6443

Trezor vs Ledger isn’t win–lose, it’s tradeoffs. One emphasizes open firmware and great passphrase workflows, the other leans on a secure element and sleek UX. Your safety comes from procedure: on-device verification, offline backups in two places, practice restores, and using a watch-only view for daily checks. If value is high, think about multisig across vendors. If value is modest, a single signer with disciplined habits is usually enough. Pick the one you’ll actually use correctly every time.

From what I’ve seen there’s no fully trustless multi chain DEX that supports BTC right now. Atomic swaps are technically possible (there were projects like Komodo and Liquality that experimented with it) but.... liquidity and UX are pretty rough. Most cross-chain DEXs end up using wrapped assets or semi-custodial bridges which kills the decentralization part.🤔 So yeah I think you’re not missing anything, the space is still waiting for someone to nail this properly. Curious if anyone here knows a newer project tackling this head-on? 🫣

The safer choice is the one that matches your risk and your ability to maintain it. Ledger gives you secure-element hardware and a polished UX, Trezor leans into transparency and open tooling. Either way, the process carries most of the weight: buy direct, verify firmware, confirm addresses on-device, and never digitize the seed. For larger holdings, I like a 2-of-3 multisig split across different vendors and locations to avoid a single failure taking you out. Pair with a watch-only wallet, keep written recovery instructions in plain language, and run a low-value restore annually. Tools reduce risk; routines eliminate it.

hawkster101

When folks ask “Trezor or Ledger,” I map it to threat model, usability, and recovery. Both keep keys off your online device, but they differ in firmware philosophy, UX, and how you prefer to confirm transactions. Best Wallet emphasizes clear security prompts with an easy setup. What matters most to me regardless of brand: on-device address verification every time, buying direct to reduce supply-chain risks, and practicing a tiny restore so you know your backups work. If you’re holding meaningful BTC, consider adding a metal backup and storing it away from the device. For higher value, multisig across vendors can cut single-implementation risk, though it adds complexity. Whatever you choose, pair the signer with a watch-only wallet so you can view balances without plugging anything in, keep firmware updated from official apps only, and avoid typing seeds on any computer. A predictable routine beats the brand debate nine times out of ten.

Well, native bitcoin is extremely bad for retail payments, for peer to peer international transactions, and basically for anything that could be considered a replacement of traditional banking or payments. It's just borderline unusable in the real world (only drug dealers in the third world are still trying, for some reason, probably because they are tripping). Stablecoins and wrapped assets on programmable chains do that just fine though (some UX can be improved, sure, but given that they are a cheap alternative I think crypto is doing fine), they are essentially the most boring version of a 100% reserve banking. Most street OTC crypto exchanges I see around have a bitcoin logo but that are mostly used to exchange stables for cash dollars really. The current and projected value of bitcoin has nothing to do with it's usability for payment, the narrative completely shifted to it being a good investment because people are interested in it being a good investment, supply is limited, and that's it. Which is a very good situation for ripping profits off the gullible investors little by little if you bought early enough. How long such a situation can be sustainable, will the next buyers always come? Well, the maxis believe it's forever like diamonds, I personally treat it pretty much like the actual diamonds (an overhyped thing you can still profit on while ngu but better not hold it to zero because magic)

Stunning-Ask3032

Yeah, a lot of early hype definitely didn’t come out the way people expected back then. But some of the newer developments especially wallet UX, maybe people are now getting interested to adopt more about it.

Post is by: ItsStoneHere and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ns5ldo/penny_stock_booms_on_bold_crypto_treasury_play/ There's a penny stock stirring up quite a storm lately, thanks to its daring announcement of a crypto treasury plan that's propelled shares through the roof. The investment crowd is abuzz as this cheap stock surges ahead, driven by the allure of weaving cryptocurrencies into its balance sheet. Yet, given the wild ups and downs of the crypto world, one has to wonder: is this a smart move or just tempting fate? This step rides the wave of excitement over digital currencies, setting the firm up to possibly cash in on swings in Bitcoin and similar assets. Some experts are scratching their heads, debating whether it brings real long-term benefits or is merely surfing the crypto trend for a quick boost. Everyone knows penny stocks can be a bumpy ride, and this one's grabbing headlines with its sharp ascent. Skeptics highlight the pitfalls—crypto's murky regulations and sudden plunges might erase those gains in no time. On the other hand, backers view it as a fresh idea, spreading risk beyond conventional holdings. With the price still climbing, traders are torn: dive in while it's hot, or sit tight until the excitement fades?

Post is by: Character_Muffin281 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ns2kg9/found_an_awesome_decentralized_lottery_on_polygon/ Hey I recently stumbled across a fascinating DeFi project called [HashLuck](https://hashluck.eth.limo), a decentralized lottery on the Polygon blockchain that uses Bitcoin block hashes to pick winners. It’s a cool mix of cross-chain tech and transparent randomness, and I’m curious to hear what you all think about it! # Quick Rundown * **How It Works**: Winners are chosen using the last few characters of a Bitcoin block hash, fetched securely via Chainlink oracles. Chainlink Automation handles the lottery states (open/closed/drawing) with no human interference. * **Tickets**: You pick a hex combo (0-9, a-f), each ticket costs \~$5 in MATIC (auto-adjusted with Chainlink price feeds). Ticket length varies (e.g., 2-4 chars) to tweak difficulty. * **Prizes**: From the pool: 50% for exact match, 25% for same chars (any order), 15% for last char match, 10% for platform maintenance. All on-chain and verifiable. * **Tech**: Built on Polygon for cheap/fast transactions, with open-source smart contracts (check PolygonScan for the address). Uses Wagmi for wallet integration. Draws happen weekly, starting Mondays at 1 AM UTC. You can explore the dApp, check past results, or join a round when it’s open. Everything’s transparent on the blockchain. # Why I’m Sharing This project caught my eye for its clever use of Bitcoin’s randomness and Polygon’s scalability. I’m curious – have any of you tried similar oracle-based games? Thoughts on using Bitcoin hashes vs. Chainlink VRF? Or ideas for better UX? If you’re into DeFi or blockchain gaming, this seems like a solid example to dig into. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Best spread consistently otherwise I’d pick River for their UX/UI. But I’m trying to stack as many Sats as possible so Strike for me too!

Yep, the UX is brutal.

tldr; Web3's adoption is hindered by its complex user experience (UX), which deters mainstream users, especially Gen Z. AI can address this by simplifying interactions through tools like Griffin AI and ElizaOS, which automate tasks and make crypto more accessible via natural language commands. Decentralized AI infrastructure is crucial to avoid recreating centralized monopolies. By acting as a new interface layer, AI can transform crypto from a niche technology into a user-friendly financial system, driving mass adoption and economic growth. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Fold has problems committing to timelines. Their releases are typically bulky and incomplete. Their app has a poor and slow UI/UX. I do believe they’re truly trying but they don’t know how to play in the big leagues. FWIW I had their debit card in use for probably 15 months. Not worth the fee for FOLD+ It’s gimmicky and fun but not great.

OrangePillar

People will learn the same way they moved from checking accounts to online apps. It’s just a matter of time and incremental UX improvements along with more institutional adoption.

MudNovel6548

Yeah, those Solana TG perp bots have been popping off lately. The upside is speed and convenience, but the trade-off is usually higher fees, janky UX, and sometimes questionable security since you’re trusting a bot contract. With stuff like SolCypher, I’d watch for: * Liquidity depth on the pairs you’re farming (thin books = big slippage). * Bot reliability, some may crash mid-trade or during high volatility. * Risk controls like setting tight stops, since leverage on Solana perps can get spicy fast. If you end up wanting to move rewards around chains or cash out into other ecosystems, a swap aggregator like r/Rubic can save a lot of clicks, it pulls liquidity from 360+ providers across 100+ chains, so you don’t get stuck hunting bridges manually.

Kids today are definitely not more tech savvy than previous generations. The UI/UX of newer apps and devices is so intuitive that the user does not need to really understand the systems that govern their experience. Self sovereignty is not easy in any day and age. There will always be some things you depend on other people on. If your car breaks down, go to a mechanic. Sick, go to a doctor. Most people don't have the time to learn a whole new set of rules and systems so they pay someone else to be an expert. With Bitcoin, I think it's something worth learning about if self sovereignty is something you value. If you're okay with trusting some other entity to hold your coins, then you do so at your own discretion.

No-Ebb-8969

Honestly agree—many are still clunky. I switched to Best Wallet because it feels like the first non-custodial wallet built for regular users. Clean UX, works across chains, and doesn’t make me feel like I need a developer background.

counterboy12

Layer 2s fragment liquidity, have an consumer-unfriendly UX, are often centralized and will always bear a security threat due to its bridging nature

HugeReputation4790

IMHO, SOL is a reasonable long-term hold **if** you believe throughput + UX win. FWIW the network has matured a lot (fees, reliability, ecosystem breadth), and real usage is visible. Counterpoints: concentration risk, infra hiccups, and market cyclicality. My approach is boring: position size conservatively, DCA, and rebalance on big moves. If you’re just starting, a BTC/SOL/ETH mix avoids single-bet risk.

namieorange

Dis you read the latest Sutton post on X? It is a very long but extremely well explained post about what it means for Kas and the future. Just a little segment of the post: “Native onchain smart contracts will lead to centralization due to increased hardware requirements on L1 nodes, as well as significantly complicate the L1. We want Kaspa L1 to focus on data throughput and sequencing, and not on computational tasks and complex state. The point of vprogs is to balance these tradeoffs, use zk for offchain computation, and yet add just enough components to L1 so that the interaction between zk programs is synchronous and free and provides the same unified dev and user experience as native L1 programmability”. Kaspa isn’t adding heavy base-layer contracts — it’s building vProgs: zk-powered smart contracts w/ sovereignty + full composability, giving devs an L1-like UX but w/ Kaspa speed + security. It’s a ZK based L1/L2 system. Basically, it gives the same experience and security of L1 without the trade off that Sol or ETH have with centralization

Post is by: ionutvi and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1nionzb/will_aiassisted_l1s_change_fee_markets_or_just/ I’ve been seeing more chatter about “AI-operated chains,” and i’m curious how this sub thinks it plays out from a *markets* perspective rather than a tech one. The basic idea: instead of static parameters, an L1 adjusts things like block interval, per-block gas target, and mempool thresholds based on live telemetry (pending txs, propagation delay, reorg risk, etc.). The hope is steadier confirmation times and less fee whiplash during bursts, especially on PoA/QBFT-style networks where governance can allow controlled parameter changes. If that actually works in practice, what would it mean for price discovery and liquidity on smaller L1s? A few open questions i’m wrestling with: * Do smoother confirmation times and fewer sporadic fee spikes translate into better depth on DEX pairs (less slippage, tighter spreads), or is liquidity still dominated by listings and market makers regardless of UX? * Would adaptive parameters reduce the “retail panic” effect during meme surges, or do flows overwhelm any tuning anyway? * On validator economics: if block production becomes more responsive, does that stabilize fee revenue, or could it dampen upside in bull peaks and make validator returns less attractive? * For traders: would you value an L1 that behaves more like a well-run exchange matching engine (predictable latency), or do most strategies already assume blockchain jitter as part of execution risk? * Any knock-on effects for MEV? If mempool pressure and block timing are smoothed, does that change the opportunity set for arbitrage/sandwiching, or just shift it? Disclosure for context: I’m a builder working on an EVM-compatible L1 that uses an AI ops layer to *recommend* parameter tweaks under strict safety gates. Not sharing links here to respect the rules; I’m genuinely interested in the market implications rather than promotion. Curious to hear opinions from traders, LPs, and market structure folks here, where do you see the edge (or the pitfalls)? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Bro $3B is insane... and people still think wallet UX isn’t a problem? We need something like Send-to-Name yesterday.

Crypto gaming sucks right now, at least from a gamer's perspective. Gameplay is weak: Most P2E games focus more on earning tokens than delivering fun, immersive experiences. Traditional gamers want stories, challenge, and replayability. Clunky onboarding: Wallets, seed phrases, NFTs ... WAY too complicated. Gamers just want to click “Play,” not manage private keys. Never have I switched on my PS5 and thought about how it works under the hood. Bad UX/UI: Many games do not offer polished experiences. Pay-to-win vibes: This doesn't sit well with traditional gamers. And earn what? Pennies? Token volatility. Your rewards today might be worthless in the near future. If crypto games can ditch the gimmicks, improve gameplay, and hide the blockchain aspect under the hood, we might actually get something worth playing.

The reason Step Up is used is to re-authenticate the user that is currently requesting the sensitive action. The length of time needs to be long enough to not trigger a Step Up too frequently across the app experience. In this case it is 15 minutes. Could we shorten this to 10 minutes, 5 minutes or even single use? Certainly, it could be done rather quickly, but we don’t like to implement controls that friction clients for no reason. We felt that 15 minutes was an acceptable balance between security and UX. If the concern is about malware, even if this control was set to single use, it is probably likely (absent of other controls) that it would still be game over for the user. Malware can have access to basically everything on the device. We have other controls to help detect malware and make different account decisions based upon that situation, so adding more client friction isn’t needed.

Thanks for taking the time to write up this analysis. If you believe you have a legitimate security vulnerability to report submitting it to our Bug Bounty Program (https://www.kraken.com/features/security/bug-bounty) is the best path to get the right attention on the issue. You can also earn some bitcoin if the issue is confirmed and accepted. Regarding the issue you reported here: we do a Step Up using your sign-in 2FA for sensitive actions like removing or adding a 2FA method. The Step Up has a short time-to-live similar to how sudo behaves. This is in place so that once you Step Up you won’t see it again until a time period ends. I just tested this and it is working as expected. If you feel you have a reproducible vulnerability, please submit it to our Bug Bounty program. All of the security features you mentioned that are confusing are placed under the “Advanced Settings” section in our Web UIs - they are not available to view or configure in our Mobile apps by design. Like any advanced settings, you need to be fully aware of what they are doing for you and the trade offs in using them. In security, enabling advanced features often comes with some UX cost to you. Your point about having to approve a new withdrawal addresses via email is a legacy control that we are working to improve. Similar to how we removed device approvals for clients who use Passkey/FIDO2 for sign-in 2FA we will see a similar treatment to the new withdrawal address flow in the future.

Try out Cove wallet too. Supposed to be pretty clean UX

Astrotoad21

I love the tech behind it and some of the UX. However, I think they misstepped by leaning so hard into all the reward junk. All it creates is soulless content all around and schemes for engagement farming. I don’t have time for any of that.

BananaLlamaNuts

UX is the number one problem to solve if we expect mainstream adoption. And that includes safe ways to recover "lost" coins.

I would argue that this actually hurts Bitcoin adoption. It may help reduce supply, but normies are terrified of the UX of crypto -- rightfully so IMO

Yea, that sounds like the current UX in most crypto ecosystems

At my job we help teams build out AI and cryptography systems like this and honestly, most of the current wallet security is complete garbage. The $3B number doesn't surprise me at all because users are basically flying blind when it comes to address verification. Stealth addresses are solid tech but they create UX nightmares. We've implemented similar privacy protocols for our clients and the complexity of key management goes through the roof. Most users can barely handle seed phrases, asking them to manage stealth address derivation is asking for trouble. The username resolution thing is more practical. ENS does this already but adoption is shit because it costs money and most people don't understand the value prop. What works better is building verification directly into wallet interfaces. We've seen some success with address book features that let users whitelist known addresses and flag anything outside that list. AI flagging is where things get interesting. We built transaction analysis tools for a few customers and you can definitely catch obvious scams like address poisoning attacks where someone sends you tiny amounts from similar looking addresses. The patterns are pretty clear once you train models on known attack vectors. But here's the thing, most of these solutions miss the real problem. Address poisoning works because people copy addresses from transaction history instead of using proper address books or QR codes. The fix isn't fancy crypto, it's better UX design that makes the secure path the easy path. What actually prevents these attacks is education plus wallet interfaces that make risky behavior harder. Our customers who've deployed smart contract wallets with transaction simulation and spending limits see way fewer losses. Show users exactly what they're signing before they sign it, not just some hex blob. Security reviews aren't optional if you're serious about protecting user funds. Most wallet teams focus on the crypto primitives but ignore basic UX security principles that prevent social engineering attacks.

> What are we actually waiting for to push crypto into “everyday use” is it regulation, UX, scalability, or just time? I think everyday use will be back-end stuff for countries with economic systems that don't really *need* most of the benefits of crypto. Normal people doing actual straight up, not obfuscated crypto will mostly be in places where the citizens actually need crypto. Banks aren't available for most citizens, currency inflating wildly by the month, asset seizure has happened at least once in everyone's lifetime for everyone alive in the last like 200 years. > Do most people really want decentralization, or do they just want better financial access? I think better financial access is the end game and whatever gets people there gets them there. > Are L2s and alt L1s genuinely competing long-term, or are we going to consolidate around one main ecosystem eventually? I think there will always be multiple chains but Ethereum will probably always have the biggest ecosystem. Especially when you count the L2s that run on it. > Is there any realistic chance that crypto becomes boring and just “part of the internet,” or will it always be kind of fringe and volatile? It will be like the internet. The are boring parts of the internet that are *just a part of life* and there will be fringe volatile parts. It's just a technology. The technology doesn't really dictate it, it's what people do with it. Some people will do bog standard boring stuff and others will do crazy shit. That's the massive *feature, not a bug* of the permissionless aspect of most blockchain systems. > What use cases are you actually excited about right now beyond trading and speculation? Finance and economics are what I'm most excited about. Most of the tokenization things that are cool to me are partly cool for making it data and now it fits in your pocket rather than whatever bulky thing it was... but mainly cool for potential financialization.

Once Hyperliquid offers 25x on every coin, I'll move, but until then, will have to put up with the likes of Gate, KuCoin and Bitget, the only semi reputable exchanges I know that accept Palau ID. No one else beats MEXC's UX and just general ease of use, it's dark mode easy on the eyes too. I made $30k on MEXC and then had to get Palau ID to withdraw it. But now that I've read all these stories, I don't want to go back even though I know the trading experience is better there

>What are we actually waiting for to push crypto into “everyday use” is it regulation, UX, scalability, or just time?

This sub has 9m+ users, I'd say less < 200k care about anything but the money aspect. > Are L2s and alt L1s genuinely competing long-term, or are we going to consolidate around one main ecosystem eventually? If people want interoperability it already exists and is extendable, but they don't use it, they revile it, so they must not want it. >Is there any realistic chance that crypto becomes boring and just “part of the internet,” or will it always be kind of fringe and volatile? This is the ideal but given most of the space is snake oil and even more of the retail that takes part only gives a shit about the casino aspect, it'll stay volatile until projects have revenue streams that resemble standard stocks (Hyperliquid is the most stock-like I've seen in crypto over the past 10 years)

Bitcoin Treasury Companies have been scooping up billions of dollars worth of BTC. The natural next step for at least some of these companies will be searching for new opportunities to earn more on that idle BTC so they can increase their holdings per share. Will be various risk tolerances. Vaults and automation services can be setup to execute neutral strategies. The HODLMM will make it easy for BTC liquidity and yield to flow. With the HODLMM, sBTC, keeper automations, and upcoming bridge integrations combined.. I believe Bitflow can become the gold standard for getting BTC in/out of DeFi. When going from native BTC to another chain through sBTC, the differentiators are no KYC, no bridge in fee, trust minimized, and good UX (with 1-2 confirmations mints, rather than 6 on most other chains). Rather than bridging sBTC elsewhere, stableswaps between wrapped/bridged flavors of BTC will have a home on Bitflow with the HODLMM, and liquidity providers will benefit from healthy BTC yield on BTC holdings w/o risk of impermanent loss. If we really nail that multi-chain UX, many users may not even be aware they are using Stacks -- for some, it can be an invisible execution later. Easy to see a future where we serve as the hub for BTC defi farmers on the hunt to optimize yield

whatwilly0ubuild

Man, you've basically documented everything wrong with crypto UX in one post. Working at a platform that designs decentralized and ML-driven systems, we deal with this exact bridging nightmare constantly with our clients. Your experience is unfortunately typical, but there are way simpler paths to get USDC on Base that don't involve that ridiculous multi-hop journey. Coinbase has native Base support since they built the damn network, so you can buy USDC directly on Base through their exchange or wallet. Binance also supports Base deposits/withdrawals now. Would've saved you like 5 steps and a bunch of gas fees. For future reference, you can also use Superbridge or the official Base bridge to go directly from Ethereum mainnet to Base if you already have USDC on mainnet. Much cleaner than going through TRON. The broader point you're making about network-specific tokens is spot on though. Most people don't realize that USDC on Ethereum is completely different from USDC on Base or Polygon, even though they have the same name and theoretically the same value. The technical architecture makes them totally separate assets that need bridging to move between chains. This is exactly why our customers who build wallet interfaces spend so much time on the UX layer. The underlying infrastructure is a mess of incompatible networks and most users shouldn't have to understand the technical details to move money around. That said, I'd be really careful about putting money into any "pre-IPO" projects through random crypto platforms. The legitimate investment world doesn't work that way and there are a ton of scams using familiar company names to steal people's funds. The complexity you went through might actually be a feature, not a bug, if it makes you think twice about where you're sending your money.

paidzesthumor

Easier route is CB or similar licenses their infrastructure to brick and mortar banks so they can offer their customers the option to make dollar payments with blockchain rails. The UX of a bank customer feels no different except now your payment to a family member, friend, landlord, mortgage company, Kroger, Amazon, Verizon, etc is moving on blockchain behind the scene. The only thing you notice is you didn’t pay the instantaneous payment fee that someone like Venmo charges today, and if you paid a business, they’re not seeing a 3% merchant / interchange fee from a card network.

We recently announced our partnership with Intuition! We will be integrating their chain and tech into uiui for a new UX.  Overall integrations with uiui allow apps to give their users a new way to interact with their app which is completely agentic, dynamic and moldable. each new integration gets us more eyes and expands our internal ecosystem by attaching external ones

spx6900lifechange

Tangem is so good. I introduce SPX6900 to a lot of normies who are just getting started and always recommend Tangem for its ease of use. The UX is way better than ledger or Trezor though I also use those and like them ok. Tangem feels safer for a newbie though because you don’t need a seed phrase. But buy the three card option!

Zarigis

The advantage of standardizing tokens is even beyond just UX. A significant amount of smart contract exploits are related to either abusing custom token logic, or explicitly malicious token logic. For example, a contract can't assume that just because it calls "transfer" on a token, that the token transfer actually occurs or that the correct amount was actually transferred.

tightywhitey

Blockworks is working on a transparency standard for token offerings that’s for the projects themselves. Seems like we need the same for an ERC-20 contract itself, which is code based, and it would complement their work beautifully. There’s so much more in crypto and it’s UX that’s still to come. I trust we’ll get there.

Fiach_Dubh

I've found this narrative of completely stopping spam is promoted by anti knots folks, set up as a strawman to make the very point you've made. Knots promoters and runners are not making the argument that filters completely stop all spam. But they can add friction and reduce the behavior by increasing cost for the spammers in UX complexity, time to confirmation and even fees paid. the philosophy here is that friction is warranted for this kind of unwanted content and behavior. ie don't let a perfect solution be the enemy of the good.

ormagoisha

Again, this seems more like a software UX issue than a fundamental problem with RGB to me. Technically speaking it is trustless, and the end user has full ownership. Arguably more than lightning or cashu in the long run since Prime will allow for bitcoin to be optionally completely blockchainless via CSV. Practically speaking, there isn't any aspect of Bitcoin that any average user wants to fully understand or manage. So, different UX solutions will be created, some as free services, some as paid I'm sure. But thats true of anything. I don't see it as an avoidable characteristic.

Fiach_Dubh

first let me say, thank you for your well articulated non inflammatory rebuttal. what a breath of fresh air. > The question for me is, will expanding op return default limits to 100kb encourage more > Maybe, maybe not. This does not really matter because there are cheaper and non-filterable alternatives of storing arbitrary data. There's lots of ways to do it. The concern over this current angle appears to be the nature of larger singular plaintext datablobs, instead of those that are more obfuscated and broken up via the other methods. In any case, I recognize this is probably agonizing over semantics. With that said, I'm not sure it helps to open a new, much larger 12X gate in the hopes that this will reduce the flow in other open gates that apparently chunk and obscure things more? Devils in the details - but probably semantics again here. I still think the wrong social message is being sent here by expanding this old valve by 12X, while doing nothing to reduce the size of the currently open and apparently harmful gates, such as baremultisig. I feel there's a logical inconsistency here by leaving the default for that open and unchanged (unreduced), while using concerns about it to expand the OP_Return gate. And it doesn't help that PR's for that very suggestion have been closed over what appears to be conflicts of personality. Which leads to the drama over the recent management of the Bitcoin github, which was not a good look for either side imo. one one hand their was a brigade, on the other hand their was a scorched earth policy on dealing with it. The message seems to have gotten lost in the noise or was simply ignored. Possibilities: the optimistic subtext: we acknowledge your concern, but are betting the risk is worth the reward. the pessimistic subtext: your concern isn't allowed here because of who you are and past personal beefs. the hopefully not evil subtext: we don't care about your concern, and are hoping to leverage the Bitcoin network to enable it. > > However, the beauty of OP_RETURN is that it allows non-hostile users to store their data in a way that is the least harmful for everyone involved as it is guaranteed to not enter the UTXO set, albeit for an increased transaction cost on their end. Hostile users can store their data anyways with one of the other methods and there is nothing your node can do about that, short of not accepting any transactions at all. > there is nothing your node can do about that I don't think that's strictly true, ya there is something my node can do about that. Not participate in relaying at the mempool level the spam identified by the standardized schemes they publish publicly. in knots this would look like the permitparasites=0 option. Whether this ultimately "matters" is up for debate, because it can matter to my sensibilities as discussed in OP, while not mattering, or somewhat mattering to what ultimately gets included in a Block / impact-cause friction in the market for spam. (I'm also not a fan of this nihilistic demoralization technic often employed in this debate of saying things don't matter. But I see that your above point is more accurately saying "there is nothing your node can do to prevent spam from being published" which is not the framing I am tackling this issue from for two reasons. One, is the prevention issue. spammers have to pay. a motivated spammer will pay whatever it takes. But on aggregate the market for spam can be impacted the more friction there is. Friction can include higher fees, time to confirmation and UX complexity to create and broadcast these. It's fairly obvious that more friction can reduce the amount of spam activity. While less friction can encourage more spam. This framing of the need for a solution to totally stop all spam for it to be valid/"to matter" is a strawman. Two, my node is not the only concern here. Of course it's meaningless against the ocean of other nodes. Which is why policy options and defaults matter and people are rightfully throwing a fit over those being changed on high to allow for larger spam variants and potentially limit ends users ability to configure their own options to deny the relay of that very spam on their own self sovereign nodes. This infantilism of node runners is being done apparently because block time reconstruction concerns. Which node runners who are not miners do not care about in the slightest. So the argument gets moved to, you should care as a node runners because your fee estimation could be out of wack. No one uses core's fees estimation. 1. It's in a format that no one understands 2. Everyone just checks mempool.space for more accurate fee estimation then a local core node (which is inaccurate) 3. no one cares about fee estimation in a 1 sat per byte environment, which is apparently the current regime (congrats on scaling too hard). In any case, the concern about fee estimation and block reconstruction times as a end user node runner is not shared. But when it comes to illicit content on my own self hosted node. Ya I give a lot of fucks about the personal risks of enabling corrupt content. Which include, but are not limited to: social stigma visits from law enforcement legal costs that ensue from such visits legal consequences from said visits - judicial hearings further legal consequences in the shape of - jail time more social consequences and all out after all that Those above risk, though small in probability, are so high in impact that they outweigh any concern over block propagation times (a concern for miners) and fee estimation, which I can find elsewhere with more accuracy and doesn't matter in this current environment. > The problem is that users can always add arbitrary data to the blockchain. It's impossible to remove this feature without making bitcoin utterly useless. And 2nd layer protocols like lightning also depend on this. An extreme example to showcase why it is impossible: I can send transactions between my own wallets and encode the data in the transaction amount, fees and even the transaction hash itself. It will look like a normal transaction (because it is) until you know how to parse it. See I'd be less agitated with a private non disclosed encoding scheme of data onchain. Why? Because I don't have as much moral and legal liability, versus the publicly disclosed methods. > > What that means is that by limiting OP_RETURN you only encourage users to use the other methods. And when they do, they may force your node to not only accept the data into your mempool anyways (just in a different format), but also potentially force your node and everyone elses to keep that data in the UTXO set forever. I do like the utxo set savings angle of things. That's the one argument I acknowledge and respect here. Burning sats is a even better argument that should be highlights to make your point, as this has a deflationary effect. > On top of that, mempool filters have many other drawbacks. This does not only apply to OP_RETURN, but to all mempool filters that are not used consistently throughout the network. One example is increased block relay that hurts small miners more than large miners, promoting mining centralization. I've touched on this point above, but to add: I've not seen any data of the actual effect of this concern. Nor have I seen actual numbers on what effect (how many seconds) this block propagation delay would be if filters were updated and included as default network wide as in past regimes where Bitcoin seemed to do fine. Maybe this has an effect of centralizing mining more long term on the margins, but I'm not sure it's statistically significant, but I'd be interested in seeing numbers that demonstrate this concern instead of rhetoric. > > Late edit: To finally answer your question: I don't think anyone can know how it will play out. I honestly hope that lifting OP_RETURN limits from nodes encourages users to use OP_RETURN more, not less. I hope you mean, that they use it more versus the other schemes, instead of just more in aggregate. Which I expect will be the reality. We're possibly just going to see more arbitrary data because of this overall, instead of reducing one harmful kind for another that's less harmful from a utxoset perspective, but maybe more harmful from a social stigma perspective. >A determined user will add their data to the blockchain regardless and they already have an incentive to use other options due to fees being cheaper for the same amount of data (and it not being filterable at all). But if we can encourage and convince them to use OP_RETURN instead of the other methods it is objectively better for the rest of the network. better for the utxoset while being worse for datablob plaintext concerns, maybe (semantics probably). > > Additionally, I'm not willing to impose the negative side-effects of mempool filters to other nodes that are connected to my node, directly or indirectly. those negative side effects are a concern for miners. outside my and most node runners scope of concerns. > > If you run your node with moral questions on the data, then frankly, turning it off is the only practical option IMHO. I refuse to concede the only option is to not participate in Bitcoin if someone is concerned about this issue. I believe users can and should configure their nodes in ways that limit their moral and legal liability, which can influence network topography and create friction for these concerns, thereby limiting their prevalence. Devs and maintainers of Bitcoin Core could do the same. They are choosing not to. >The main reason is that data that we don't agree with already exists in the UTXO set and there is no way to prevent people from adding more. again, I'll mention this total universal prevention goal post versus reduction in harm / friction perspective mentioned previously

Could be anything, portfolio trackers, DeFi dashboards, bots, alert systems, UX tweaks, governance tools, etc. No sales pitch, ’m not building yet, just gathering ideas. Asking on behalf of my brother since he does not have a Reddit account lol. We'd really appreciate any insight! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Can anyone help update and complete the UX UI design improvements and functionalities needed for the DAPP and DEX of the DAO?

federicoc7

100%, especially if you trade regularly. But if it’s just for holding, the UX is better the regular, or more understandable

0xpolygonlabs

It’s not an either/or. The same qualities that matter for a user in India paying a fraction of a penny fees also matter to an institution moving billions: security, scalability, predictable costs, and a smooth UX. Agglayer provides the unified liquidity fabric for high-value institutional rails, while apps and local partnerships on Polygon PoS continue to serve emerging markets. Think of it as one engine, many front-ends. Retail and institutions both plug into the same scalable base.

The Chainlink VRF approach is actually pretty smart - I've been deep in the crypto casino space for years and trust is everything. Players are getting more sophisticated about fairness verification, especially the crypto-native crowd. That said, from a practical standpoint, you're gonna face some challenges. Gas costs for on-chain randomness can get brutal during network congestion, and players expect instant results. At Coinplay - Crypto Casino, we've found that even a few seconds of delay can kill the momentum in fast games like crash or dice. The 5K traffic for PrimeDice is interesting but remember they built that userbase over years when competition was way lighter. Today's market is saturated with crypto casinos, so your differentiation needs to be crystal clear to players - not just "more fair" but tangibly better UX. Few things to consider: \- How are you handling the latency between bet placement and Chainlink response? \- What's your plan for player acquisition beyond the tech differentiator? \- Have you stress tested the oracle costs at scale? The Web3 gaming space is definitely heating up, but execution on the basics (speed, UX, retention mechanics) usually matters more than the underlying tech for most players. What's your target audience - crypto degens who care about provable fairness, or broader gambling market?

Yeah, I'm sick of clunky UX and high fees. We need crypto to be so you don't even know you're using crypto (from a UX standpoint). Zypto is probably the closest I've seen in making crypto usable and they just announced they're building a blockchain to tackle usability issues head-on. Could be a game-changer. Early days, but maybe a step forward.

Hi Sandeep, with Agglayer making cross-chain UX smoother, how do you prevent Agglayer from becoming a meta-hub that introduces centralization risk while still giving users the seamless experience you’re aiming for?

0xpolygonlabs

Question from X >The $POL upgrade + AggLayer vision feels like Polygon is positioning itself as the unifying fabric of Ethereum’s multi-chain future. My question to you: how do you see Polygon balancing two huge goals at once; becoming the chain of choice for retail adoption in emerging markets (where fees and UX matter most), while also scaling to meet the needs of institutional players and government-grade digital assets like Wyoming’s $FRNT? Because from where I stand, Polygon isn’t just ‘another L2’… it’s quickly becoming the backbone for both sides of Web3 adoption.

Hello r/CryptoCurrency, I’m Sandeep Nailwal, Founder of Polygon and recently became CEO of the Polygon Foundation. I’m here to talk with you directly about the next era of Polygon.  Join me for an AMA this Wednesday, August 27, where I’ll be answering your questions right here in this thread. # What I’m excited to talk about **Polygon’s future** I’ve stepped into the CEO role at the Foundation to sharpen our focus on core protocol development, ecosystem growth, and user adoption. Our mission is to build the trustless internet for people to easily do whatever they want with their assets, whenever they want. I’m here to talk strategy, vision, and how we scale responsibly. **Gigagas Roadmap: 100k+ TPS** Polygon is aiming to become the leading payments and settlement layer in crypto. Gigagas is our new architecture designed to unlock massive throughput (100k+ TPS) and support consumer-grade experiences across chains. The roadmap is already underway with sub 5sec finality and 1000 tps already enabled.  Ask me anything about how this works and why this scaling is critical. **RWAs, payments & real-world utility** Polygon is the rails of choice for real-world assets and onchain payments.  We see projects ranging from tokenized trading cards (Courtyard) to prediction markets (Polymarket) to global stablecoin processors (Stripe). We’re doubling down on real-world use cases that actually touch users. **Agglayer: Interopability for unifying all of web3** The Agglayer vision is connecting all chains into a single, unified user experience with seamless cross-chain execution and shared liquidity. It’s how we scale horizontally without fragmentation. Curious how it works? Ask away. **Agglayer Chain Development Kit (CDK) & custom chains for a better user experience** General purpose blockspace is no longer needed, but there is significant demand for specialized chains. We currently have cdk-opgeth and cdk-erigon and are actively building more solutions to support different use-cases (DeFi, gaming, identity, etc), all to ensure web3 feels like a single seamless experience. More chains shouldn’t mean more fragmentation. With Agglayer CDK, more chains means we deliver a better UX with apps that are built for what you actually want to do onchain.   **POL staking & ecosystem airdrops** Staking POL is the gateway to the future of Polygon: * Secure the network * Power Agglayer * Qualify for future ecosystem rewards & airdrops Early stakers are already seeing upside via incubated chain airdrops like Katana, Miden, and PrivadoID/Billions, with more coming. # How to participate: 1. Ask your questions below – anything goes: Agglayer, Gigagas, staking, strategy, tech stack, adoption. 2. I’ll be live and answering questions beginning on Wednesday, August 27. Excited to hear from you all and share more about how Polygon is scaling web3 to meet the real-world moment. — Sandeep
