For developers, the most interesting thing about crypto isn’t just blockchain technology — it’s how users interact with it. Despite the massive growth in adoption, the barrier to entry for non-technical users remains high.

Think about it: setting up a wallet, learning about gas fees, understanding private keys — these are not intuitive processes. If we want mass adoption of crypto-based applications, onramps need to become invisible.

The key is abstracting complexity. Just as OAuth simplified web authentication, we need APIs that can turn crypto transactions into a few lines of code. That’s why crypto payment SDKs and fiat onramp APIs are gaining traction — they let developers integrate crypto purchases directly into their apps without forcing users through technical hoops.

Projects that simplify user experience are thriving. For example, APIs from companies like MoonPay enable developers to embed fiat-to-crypto functionality into platforms in minutes. Imagine building a Web3 game where users can buy tokens or NFTs without ever leaving the app — that’s the kind of UX that converts casual users into long-term participants.

As developers, our role in Web3 adoption goes beyond building decentralized systems. We’re building trust, accessibility, and clarity — the three pillars that can bridge the gap between mainstream users and the decentralized future.
