I often see decentralization and usability as two ends of a scale. Lean too much towards decentralization, and the user experience will collapse; but if you pursue ease of use excessively, the system will ultimately just be a centralized platform with a different appearance. That’s why some projects’ exploration between these two aspects is particularly interesting—they try to find that critical point, which can preserve the core values of Web3 without making ordinary users feel that the operation threshold is ridiculously high. The real breakthrough lies in the process of finding this balance.

Well said. That's why most projects are still in the exploration stage, and only a few can truly walk the tightrope.

That's right, it's really hard to gauge this level. I've seen too many projects that ultimately just become centralized under a different guise, all while claiming to be decentralized and scamming users.

Well said, this is the Achilles' heel of Web3: making it too complicated leads to no adoption, while making it too simple makes it no better than centralized systems.

Really speaking, this balance will never be steady; a one-sided tilt is doomed to fail.
Wait, have those "finding balance" projects really found it? I think they're still a bunch of PPT dreamers.
I get your point, but the lower the threshold, the easier it is to be cut off. Still, you have to choose a side.

Exactly right, this is the Achilles' heel that stalls most projects.
