Hey there,

Dollar-less economy, unstoppable apps, sovereign data, digital ownership, banking the unbanked — ufff, the on paper superpowers of web3 are just out of the world.

Trust, but verify — they said.

You know what, we did that. Verify.

Here’s what web3 really was — the tech world’s most elaborate game of pretend

→ 'Unstoppable' apps that crash when AWS has an outage
→ 'Decentralized' frontends served from centralized CDNs
→ 'Trustless' protocols relying on trusted RPC providers
→ 'Permissionless' networks accessed through rate-limited APIs
→ 'Censorship-free' solutions hosted using centralized providers

Why Does This Happen?

The reliance on centralized infrastructure isn't due to negligence.

It's often a practical choice driven by:

• Perceived reliability and trust
• Easier development workflows
• Familiarity with tools

These conveniences often outweigh the benefits offered by the principles and ideals of web3.

We’d love to hear from you!

Web3 is Making it Worse

Here's the thing: every time we choose convenience over conviction, we're adding another layer of face paint to the decentralization theatre.

❌We replaced banks with banking APIs.
❌We replaced servers with server providers.
❌We replaced intermediaries with….. different intermediaries.

Web3 didn't eliminate trust — it just reshuffled who we're trusting.

Instead of trusting one bank, we're trusting five cloud providers, three RPC services, and two CDNs.

But here's the real kicker: none of this was necessary.

To Make Web3 Possible, We Need Infrastructure, Not Ideals

Let’s agree on one thing:

No developer should have to choose between building something that works and building something unreliable but decentralized.

Web3 can’t afford to guilt developers into making inconvenient choices.

When web3 infrastructure wins on:

✔️ Performance
✔️ Developer experience
✔️ Cost efficiency
✔️ Reliability

...then decentralization becomes the cherry on top, not the bitter pill to swallow.
