i hear alot of stuff with new protocols, efficiency, and growth in Web3… let’s be honest none of it matters if the tech doesn’t make people’s lives better. I’m proposing daos start baking this ideology into their DNA: technology should serve human experiences first.
why?
- right now, web3 feels like a toolbox. Wallets sign, chains transact, apps deploy. But where’s the JOY!? The connection?
- people don’t adopt tech because it’s “decentralized.” They adopt it because it makes them feel powerful, creative, or gives them some unique experience, maybe clout
- use the human experience as a framework for all design, are u just building fancier infrastructure or a better internet?
wat to do
a set of questions for every proposal or a single simple question - "how does this add value to the human experience? " OR “how does this make a humans life better?”
possible ways to make that real,
“What will this let people DO or FEEL that they couldn’t before?”
celebrate stories or experiences, share real examples of how WalletConnect changed someone’s experience. Not just 100 million connections, but here’s how a farmer in Kenya uses WalletConnect gamble on shitcoins..
some other ideas
Allocate a fund for experiments, hackathons.. that prioritize joy/connection over utility. maybe collaborative art, cult rituals, or tools for offline communities
not fluff
web3 maybe becoming a slightly edgier version of Web2. focus on human experiences, or repeat the same mistakes.
WalletConnect’s opportunity - the bridge between wallets and apps. that bridge can be a place where people want to hang out, not just pass through. its like the discord i was active in for years, sisyphus rugged, amd everyone got burned but there was this amazing cult vibe and it was fun, the rug was just what we needed for a deeper community connection, even if many people left and never gave it a second chance those who stayed will never forget the shared hate for sisyphus or the 40-50 microphones on at the same time and all the wee wee jokes…
whats one thing you want wallet connect to help people “feel” (“trust,” “curiosity,” “pain”).
share this post with someone who cares about making Web3 human. Keep it real, without humanity its just noise. Dao’s next chapter is about people, not just code.
