Strategies and Pillars Underpinning Web3 Marketing

Web3 marketing, a cutting-edge approach to reaching audiences, leverages blockchain technology, decentralization, and user empowerment.

Why Web3 Loyalty Programs Aren’t Gaining Significant Traction

Web3 loyalty programs promise to change how businesses reward their customers, offering tokenized rewards that allow greater flexibility and control. However, despite the excitement surrounding these programs, they are yet to garner much attention. There have been significant issues, especially in usability and liquidity, which have kept them from reaching their full potential and prevented consumer adoption. The core idea behind Web3 loyalty programs is simple: instead of earning traditional points that can expire or are limited to one brand, customers receive tokenized rewards that they can trade, sell, or use across multiple platforms. This was meant to free consumers…

Aggregation May Unlock the Unification of Web3

Aggregation could be the breakthrough Web3 needs to work as smoothly as the internet does today. At this time, blockchain networks are stuck in isolated systems, limiting liquidity and making it harder for users to access everything in one place. Much like the early internet networks that couldn’t interconnect until protocols like TCP/IP unified them, Web3 faces similar challenges. Many experts believe aggregation could be the solution. A big issue for Web3 is that it lacks a cross-chain settlement layer, causing each blockchain to function like a separate ecosystem where assets, data, and liquidity are locked away. An aggregation layer…

Web3 at Crossroads as General Purpose and App-Specific Chains Jostle for Dominance

The Web3 space is at an interesting turning point. A big question looms: Will the future be all about app-specific blockchains tailored to particular use cases, or will general-purpose blockchains like Ethereum and Solana continue to dominate? Both approaches are bringing something unique, and whichever way this plays out, could shape the future of Web3. Currently, general-purpose Layer 1 blockchains (think Ethereum or Solana) are the backbone of Web3. These blockchains are designed to handle every transaction on-chain, but the limitations of this model are clear. As these networks get busier, they need help with speed and cost. Layer 2…
