How to make decentralized apps (dApps) more user-friendly
<p>I feel for <a href="https://blog.celsius.network/a-memo-to-the-celsius-community-59532a06ecc6" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Celsius,</a> <a href="https://news.coincu.com/98933-three-arrows-capital-massively-liquidated/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Three Arrows,</a> <a href="https://babel.finance/article-views.html?id=50" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Babel Finance</a> and whoever the next <a href="https://entrepreneurshandbook.co/floaters-1085be6d6ffd" rel="noopener" target="_blank">floater</a> happens to be.</p>
<p>Just two months ago, taking a loan out against your crypto was “how the rich people do it.”</p>
<p>Now, with my portfolio down 90%, my loan collateral topped up and no dry power left to slurp the dipperino, there’s literally nothing left to do but wait.</p>
<p><strong>Wait, and build.</strong></p>
<p>I think we can all agree that the current sate of crypto user experience is completely unacceptable:</p>

<p>What?</p>
<p><img alt="Token import error modal" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/1*ijndv0qXjapHQRkJV97kVw.jpeg" style="height:452px; width:700px" /></p>
<p>Huh?</p>

<p>Plasma exit mechanism?</p>

<p>Why are these not the same?</p>
<p>I could go on.</p>
<p>For new entrants there are countless situations where it’s not clear what’s happening. Communication is poor, basic functions are not smooth, expensive mistakes are easily made and trust is easily lost.</p>
<p>We have about a year before the <a href="https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/bitcoin-clock/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">next bitcoin halving</a>/ bull cycle in which to alleviate this pain.</p>
<p>To that end, I’m writing a series on the crypto product areas I think are in most urgent need of attention.</p>
