Today, I was at an event discussing with some founders and business owners why they still haven’t given Web3 a chance in their businesses. Honestly, some of the things I heard really shocked me.

While some are confused by the infrastructure, others don’t trust the sustainability, and some simply don’t understand what problem Web3 solves better than their current system.

And if we are being honest, it is not really their fault.

Most businesses just don’t know how to enter Web3 without risking time, money, reputation, or focus. Some even admitted they entered during the hype cycle, burned resources, and quietly stepped back afterward.

After hearing all this in a physical gathering, I told myself I really need to hear both sides: both the traditional Web2 side and people already building in Web3.

So if you own, run, or work inside a business, what is the biggest barrier stopping your company from entering Web3 right now?

• Lack of technical knowledge?
• Regulatory concerns?
• No clear business model?
• Poor user experience?
• Security and trust issues?
• Difficulty finding the right team?
• Not enough customer demand?
• Fear of becoming “another failed Web3 brand”?
• Or is it something people rarely talk about?

I think these conversations matter more now because the businesses that eventually succeed in Web3 probably won’t be the loudest ones.

They will be the ones solving real operational problems without forcing users to “learn crypto” first.

Drop your honest thoughts below.

Even if you think Web3 is overrated, I would still like to hear why.

Let’s discuss as founders, startups, and agencies.

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of builders and content creators here, I’ve always been frustrated by the traditional monetization route. You pour weeks into open-source code, assets, or community building, but when someone wants to drop you a tip, centralized platforms hit you with massive cut fees, minimum payout thresholds, and "processing holds" that keep your money hostage for days.

My team and I decided to build a lightweight, direct alternative called Tipzza, and we just officially launched our Public Beta.

Instead of routing payments through a company bank account, Tipzza uses a fully automated Smart Contract Tipping Router. When a supporter uses your custom tipping link or QR code, the funds skip the middleman entirely—routing directly from their Web3 wallet straight into your self-custodial wallet instantly on-chain. If you get a tip at 2:00 AM, it's liquid and yours to spend by 2:01 AM.

What we’ve got ready in the Beta engine right now:

• The Creator Dashboard: A clean, proprietary interface to track your support, analyze transactions, and grab your custom links/QRs.
• Seamless Multi-Wallet Flows: Supporter integrations for MetaMask, Phantom, WalletConnect, etc.
• Gas-Optimized Smart Contracts: Built explicitly to ensure low-network overhead so small tips don't get eaten up by gas fees.
• Absolute Transparency: We want to build actual trust, so our core smart contracts are completely open-source and public on GitHub for anyone to audit or look under the hood.

Why I’m posting here: We don’t want polite praise—we need real, raw, brutal feedback. We want you guys to jump in, push the buttons, break the transaction flows, and tell us exactly what UX elements feel clunky, what features are missing, or what you want to see built next (we're currently looking into utility-backed NFT crowdfunding tools).

Because we are managing early server and database waves, we are running access through a quick whitelist.

Let me know what you guys think! 🚀🍕

Hello everyone, I've been working on expanding a business I'm currently working with for the past 6 months and have exhausted nearly all of your average marketing methods during that time. I'm wondering if our members here can share some overlooked, underused or unconventional methods for expanding brand awareness for web3 business that they've had success with or recommend trying. Anything is fair game, we've had some success but are looking to take the next step forward. We will not be paying for discord or tg members, but are open to working with KOLs *if* they come recommended and can provide some proof of previous success. Thanks for any and all help, feeling a bit stuck right now.
