In the crypto ecosystem, wallets are perhaps the most critical user touchpoint serving as a gateway to exchanges and smart contracts. This positions the startups building popular wallet apps closest to the firehose of consumer crypto opportunities, while also leaving them to take charge in tackling many of web3’s unsolved problems including steep onboarding challenges and a hostile fraud environment.

I’ve learned calculating this figure is tricky because there’s no centralized reporting for it.

As is commonly the case, data sets used inside companies almost always come from diverse sources and in different, unstructured formats. Connecting them up can lead to a very large headache. But if it can be done, there are all sorts of benefits, especially in finance, such as fraud detection, KYC/AML checks etc. This is a problem particularly faced by financial firms, but it could also be useful in the areas of COVID contact tracing or general business intelligence.

Last weekend, just for fun, I hacked together a simple web application called FirstWord. Not exactly sure how to describe it, but it's kind of a trainer to make you a better Wordle player. It grades your first word guess (hence the name FirstWord). So, it's kind of a "word grader". Wait, what's Wordle you ask? Well, it's all the rage. A simple word game where you have to guess a word in 6 tries, as the game gives you clues about your prior guesses.

I wrote a post recently as to why web3/crypto matter. A logical follow on question is: why aren’t we further along, given that Bitcoin is over ten years old? Part of the answer is that blockchain technology is complex and there is still a lot to figure out. But another part of the answer is that there is a chicken and egg problem to be solved that has echoes of the historic adoption of the web itself.
