for years, web3 has been a digital ghetto. a walled garden of complex wallets, 12-word seed phrases, and gas wars. we built a playground for insiders while the rest of the world watched from the sidelines, confused. but the market volatility of the last cycle forced a reality check. 50% of developers left. vc funding dried up. why? because we were building puzzles, not products. the era of the "web3 ghetto" is closing.
