Web3 is already poised to fundamentally transform the way we operate, according to Jakob Sievers, CEO of Gorilla Funds, a German-based web3 company, during his recent talk at NFT Show Europe in Valencia, Spain.
Sievers gave real-world examples of potential NFT adopters, such as artists, event organizers, and fitness companies. He emphasized, however, that the absence of necessary tools hinders the journey to mass adoption, the complexity of NFT technology, high-cost barriers, and the reliance on people owning crypto wallets, a condition not yet met by many prospective users.
For example, the possible strategies to overcome it for a fitness company could include offering an accessible solution to mint NFT smart contracts and combining NFTs with existing web2 solutions.
It is also crucial to make the design user-friendly, “not require nothing more than a QR code” for participation and notifying users about subscription ends with a direct purchase offer. Hybrid web2-web3 solutions are crucial in aiding this adoption phase by providing a familiar framework for users.
Looking ahead, the development of user-friendly components for tickets and coupons could provide customization options. Incorporating fiat payment solutions could also lead to seamless transactions.
