Remember when you had to learn SQL to use Instagram? or CardDAV to use iCloud?

Do you pay for the AWS compute when using Twitter?

NOPE. AND. NOPE.

### _Users don't shouldn't learn about underlying tech just to use something._

If I wanna use any DApp in the market, I need a wallet. And tokens.  
Well how do I get those tokens? Buy them on a CEX. And then transfer it to my wallet. So far all seems good!

I wanna send USDC but I don't have any ETH : /  
This day just keeps getting better & better.

**_le user - please just let me web3_**

### How can we fix this?

Wallets generated by Email Providers (everyone has an email), backed up on iCloud.  
Anyone should be able to create evm + non-evm compatible wallets without them knowing what chains they are active on.

Network switching, Chain appropriation, and auto-selecting tokens should be done on the backend.

USERS know about **$, ₹, €**. They should be shown **$, ₹, €**  
Showing them BigDogeGothInuCoin will just bring anxiety (_not the good kind_)

### It's 2024. We have all the shovels we need, time to mine gold

**Idea 00: Investment for all.**

*   Social Provider Based Wallets for all users
    
*   On-ramps to mint Stables 1:1
    
*   1-click investing in Yields (AAVE, Yearn, Beefy)
    
*   Earn APR, withdraw rewards.
    
*   Off-ramp.
