Something that came up in our weekly DAOs call regarding protocol branding and awareness. @yonks brought up something I hear often: "In web2 nobody knows what TCP/IP is, or http" The meaning is simple: Users don't care about protocols. @stellaachenbach had another point that I found very relevant: - part of our job building web3 is building awareness and understanding of *why* web3 So my question is this: Is "abstracting" away the protocols actually the better UX? Or is it a gateway to enabling the centralization of web3?

My first inclination is to lean more heavily on the "we need to educate" side of things. I do think that abstraction makes sense to a degree. It's a lot to ask ppl to understand what an L1 vs an L2 is, or why one chain matters over another. But I do, however, feel inclined to say that it is essential for users to understand if their identity and data is owned by a centralized entity or is under their sovereignty. This is where the protocol vs platform is my relevant, imo. How can we convince users to prioritize decentralized tools when it's actually more efficient and effective to build a better UX with a centralized solution? I will gladly steel man this position just to see what everyone's pushback is. I want to see where the alternatives are for creating incentive to do the hard thing to migrate away from centralized platforms towards open protocols.

I haven’t been of Farcaster that much last couple of weeks … absolutely glad that you brought up these talking points. RE: education Most adults are exhausted with education, this is at least my observations. I’m so excited about 🤖 Ai Agents because we can focus on a simplified narrative … RESULTS!!

It's true. Cognitive overload is intense.
