Deserts teach people patience. In the digital desert of Web1, people quietly read pages and closed them, drifting alone as they wandered from link to link. This solitude sparked a new question: What about us? What can we do together? The early 2000s marked a turning point, the beginning of the internet’s second spring. Technology had advanced, connections were faster and the first wave of users wanted more. They no longer wanted to just read in a browser; they wanted to talk, argue and create...

Web3 moves at the speed of light. One day, it’s DeFi summer. Then NFTs take over. Then GameFi, SocialFi, RWA… and suddenly, the biggest projects from the last cycle disappear. What happened?

In March 2025, Turkey faced one of the deepest crises of its democratic history. The events that began on March 19 marked a turning point for many.

Web3 is filled with brilliant developers, but here’s a hard truth, most of them aren’t thinking like product builders. Too often, Web3 projects focus on technical innovation but forget the most important question, will anyone actually use this? That’s where Web2 product managers excel. They don’t just build features, they prioritize what truly matters for adoption, retention and growth. If Web3 developers want to create products that people actually use, they need to adopt a product mindset. ...

Every Web3 project loves to talk about community. It’s the heart of decentralization, the key to adoption and the foundation of any successful ecosystem. But let’s be real, good vibes alone won’t keep a community alive. A Telegram full of memes and a Discord buzzing with excitement is great. But when the hype fades, what’s left?
