# Blockchain is the Internet OS By [Nikhil Designs](https://paragraph.com/@nikhildesigns) · 2022-10-11 --- We’re Connected… Kinda ---------------------- Social media is great, I love watching my friend’s tiktoks; also entire economies have been created off these platforms. But they have a problem, they’re disconnected. You can have 10,000 followers on twitter, but only 20 on IG, which is a big problem when building a community. That’s Where Blockchain Comes In… Right? ---------------------------------------- Well, that’s one of the major parts of decentralized apps, but it’s not perfect. We’re currently facing a huge UX problem with onboarding users into crypto spaces. However, there are a bunch of smart people working really hard (also me 😆) to bridge the gap between web2 and web3. Let’s see what they’re up to: RainbowKit is “The Best Way to Connect a Wallet” ------------------------------------------------ [RainbowKit](https://www.rainbowkit.com/) is a developer tool that allows users to easily connect their web3 wallet to a website. Using their NPM Package, the toolkit takes all the complexity of user authentication when coding a website. Using their guide, a creator should be able to add this feature to their website! “The Future of Money is Here” with Coinbase ------------------------------------------- [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/) makes buying and selling cryptocurrency easier than grabbing fast food from a drive-thru. Their centralized exchange has most common cryptos, and their tutorials actually give free currency for completion! ARThentic is “The One-Stop-Shop to Creating in Web3” ---------------------------------------------------- [ARThentic](https://www.arthentic.co/) is helping artists enter web3 by teaching them about NFTs. Their goal is to free the finances of every artist so they can focus on creating masterpieces. **Full disclosure**: I’m currently working at ARThentic to produce the Creative Blocks NFTs, a 10K PFP series that unlocks a Web3 Artist Dashboard. So… What Are We Gonna Do With All These Tools? ---------------------------------------------- As more users enter web3, we’ll be creating something called the _semantic web_. Basically, imagine the internet, but completely categorized and organized. This will allow us to do way more work on the internet (not that I don’t already do that 😆) and also share content in novel ways. You might be buying your next [Big Mac](https://cointelegraph.com/news/mcdonald-s-starts-to-accept-bitcoin-and-tether-in-swiss-town) with bitcoin. Essentially, your web3 world will become a new operating system for reality. Thank You for Reading! ---------------------- I’m trying to post more, so stay tuned for more articles.
