Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

What is the key problem that you guys are solving?

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

Fantastic.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

I have lots of thoughts on that.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

I have worked in that industry, in the Web 2 and in the Web 3 space, worked with guilds, worked with DAOs, gaming DAOs, and worked with that thesis.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

The thesis only works if there are games that people are emotionally invested in.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

They only get emotionally invested if the games are fun.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

And it takes sometimes even years or thousands of iterations to build, to get to that stage where it is fantastic.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

fun and sticky that people will play for years.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

And we'll get there.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

I'm pretty sure we will get there because I've interviewed around 450 founders from some of the largest sort of not games, only games, but like L1s, L2s and protocols and as well as games and all different parts of Web3.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

And I know that there is so much still building in the background for the last three, four years, people who haven't

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

put all their money in just hiring KOLs and bots, but who are building the real products.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

So it is going to happen.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

It is only a matter of time.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

And I completely agree with the UX side of things that abstraction is...

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

What does like bring in more people to the industry or makes it more accessible to everyone?

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

Do you still feel like that is the biggest bottleneck for mass adoption or what is your personal sort of thesis?

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

yeah that is that is very true when i think of like why do i want to use stablecoin for the last four years i've been using is because stripe charges me 5.8 percent nearly 5.8 percent per transaction so which is insane so if someone's earning a hundred thousand five thousand eight hundred dollar goes to stripe because they charge three point overseas transaction then 2.1 percent for currency conversion which is

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

insane.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

So yeah, it is it is very, very painful to use non web three solutions or non blockchain based or crypto based solutions.
