During the ongoing pursuit of increasing the adoption of Web3, many enthusiasts and web3 organization still requires industry to leave the Web2 processes.
Regardless of whether it tries to make Web3 tools seem like the Web2 application or redefining business models to focus more on the web3 infrastructure, there is a vocal group that believes in the demolition of Web2 for Web3.
This view is defective.
Replacing existing systems is neither practical nor favorable in a brief period, and the risk that reduces the growth and potential of Web3.
Taking people aside
Web3 offers solutions to challenges from economic problems to daily tasks, but remains elaborate and intimidating outside the industry.
Meanwhile, Oxford The university identified the “Trust Paradox” of Blockchain technology: the contradiction between the provision of blockchain regarding the removal of trust related to trust is inherently stopped by a public image that does not trust technology. Together, these trends show wider confusion and lack of commitment from the mass market.
This trend essentially means that users most likely “play it safely” in Web2 applications, and do not risk experimenting in Web3. This is the barrier that slows down the adoption of Web3. Innovators cannot rely only on the benefits of Web3, but instead they have to get involved in the existing infrastructure, if they hope to attract a wider audience.

Web3 scaffolding
Cooperation between Web2 and Web3 is already taking place, mainly managed by Web2 suppliers. In finance, giants such as PayPal, Visa and the main banks integrate cryptographic and blockchain services, legitimizing them on the mass market. In addition to the finances, Amazon Web Services launched Web3 Labs, and Google Cloud works with evidence of zero knowledge, weaving WEB3 into time-honored offers.
While web2 applications press the middle ground, web3 programmers can and should do the same by using a set Web2 market for faster scaling. Like 4G, it supported the introduction of 5G, Web2 processes can facilitate create better Web3 applications.
Looking at it in practice
Web3 developers can balance decentralization with convenience, which users expect from Web2, prioritizing availability, from elegant UX names to people who can be read. They should also recognize how their products can benefit WEB2 organizations.
Too often, web3 enthusiasts assume that the superiority of their approach is obvious, avoiding working on explaining why it is better. This risk with the alienation of users instead of their victory. Demonstrating practical advantages by involved in the Web2 offer can facilitate fill the gap between the two sectors.
A clear example is the synergy between AI and Blockchain. If each element of data used to train the AI model was invariably followed by blockchain, whether original or border data, its origin, exploit and results can be verified immediately, eliminating such disputes.
Basically, a good idea will provide whether it is a web3 application or not.
Demonstrating this value – even if it means involvement in the Web2 sectors – will boost the tool ID and gain more attention from the mass market.
Engaging in innovation
Although it may seem uncomfortable in the Web2 to determine more confidence in the Web3 tool, the benefits are undeniable. The introduction of any form of technology to the mass market can generate a number of problems, including errors during the day or scaling challenges. Nielsen’s research shows that utility tests with real users can improve the product success indicator 500%. In this way, encouraging Web2 users to immerse your fingers for the Web3 application will mean a larger final product.
Debates on “Web2 vs. Web3” can attract attention, but the successful companies rarely define themselves by the label. These are AI, financial institutions, consumer platforms and data companies that exploit tools best support their market. No customer wakes up to exploit “Web3 application”; They want better banking, smarter artificial intelligence or more useful platforms.
The winners will quietly exploit Web3 to solve real problems, not chasing cleanliness points.
Working with Web2 extends the user base, creating more testing, iteration and improvement. A passionate Web3 community must still achieve the attractiveness of the mass market, and achieving this means covering processes, habits and infrastructure Web2, which for decades shaped the adoption of technology.
