WtFi is DeFi-Designing for the Next Million Users
summary
Argues that onboarding, not tech, limits growth: seed phrases and lost wallets lead to irrecoverable funds, Metamask setup sometimes fails, and transactions get stuck because gas is mispriced. Shows fees swinging from about $1 to $26 recently and describes short-term fixes like gas token markets and longer-term fixes like rollups / plasma sidechains that cut fees by orders of magnitude. Recommends smart-contract wallets with social recovery and spend limits and smarter mempool/fee prediction to prevent user errors.
