How can we make blockchains simple and usable to interact with rather than try to abstract them away?
I intentionally connected Metamask to scam phishing sites to test and review 3 new wallet security tools
The most critical UX challenge in web3 is securityAnyone who attempts to do anything on-chain is at risk of being scammed by fake websites that trick them into connecting their wallets with false promises of airdrops or other benefits, and then drain them. Even sophisticated Solidity auditors can be fooled, which means the average person is in real trouble. Fortunately, several talented teams are building tools to help by simulating transactions and warning about risks. In order to test how w...

How can we make blockchain-based apps usable for the masses, not by hiding the underlying mechanics of the system, but by revealing them in a way that makes them simple and intuitive?Welcome to my new article series, Trustless Design. I’ll be discussing how solving the UX design problems of decentralized apps requires different techniques than the ones that worked in web2, and just slapping on “abstraction” is not the answer. Decentralization creates a revolutionary tradeoff. The ability of g...
