Reminiscences of an Anon: Midweek Thoughts
Geopolitical and macroeconomic tensions continue to weigh heavily on the crypto markets. The two centerstage issues this week continued to be Russia and Ukraine alongside the minting of Tubby Cats NFTs. Balance. Minting NFTs that you were able to get whitelisted for is really one of the few profitable plays you can be doing right now during these market conditions. All the while in the background institutional and corporate money continues to flow into the space. While the markets are down however, now is the perfect time to start asking relevant questions. Several news stories this week got me to pondering about something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. Decentralization is considered an integral pillar of the blockchain space however as mainstream adoption looms on the horizon, an important question must be posed. Is decentralization what users actually want? Or will more centralized services and platforms rise to dominate the crypto and blockchain market reminiscent of web2?
Rug pulls forced Solana NFT marketplace Magic Eden to invoke a doxing policy for creators this week. Opensea was sued by the victim of a hacked Bored Ape for failing to enact sufficient security measures and address the known susceptibilities in its interface. Consider the various cases of mistakenly and irrevocably sending assets to wrong addresses. You can tangibly feel the frustration and sense of unease by users affected in such instances. These cases all highlight that users are not at heart as interested in decentralized services where not your keys, not your crypto is supposed to be a foundational ethos. This week digital security service 1Password announced a collaborative partnership with Solana’s Phantom Wallet to enable asset holders to amalgamate their vast accumulations of public key addresses, seed phrases and other corresponding security details into a single ‘Save in 1Password’ system. The argument being that the benefits of a non-custodial wallet in terms of personal control and independence also comes with the added responsibility of personal key management, which in my opinion is genuinely not what the average user will be interested in now or the near future.
Navigating the crypto world in its current iteration can be overwhelming for new users who will inevitably want and need assistance when they encounter issues. This unfortunately drives the issue back towards the need for centralized services, as it’s one of the only forms of providing this type of protection to users. It’s not ideal or my preference in any way but it’s the choice historically users have shown they want and it’s best to not underestimate the growing human dependence on convenience and ease of use. Everyone loves to champion self sovereignty and custody over their digital assets until they make a mistake or get affected in some way and need help (hello BAYC holders). Web2 solidified that average users don’t care about security or privacy (until they suddenly and unexpectedly do) and are willing to give it up for convenience and usability. Users want the services and apps they use to be sleek, fast, clean and of course mobile friendly. None of this multiple wallets, bridging, transferring funds left and right. Current users know that while achievements have been made thus far, navigating the crypto seas is still tumultuous.
In order for crypto and Web3 to go mainstream, people need to feel confident in the safety and security of their assets. I say this with a heavy heart but I fear for the future of decentralization. I foresee services and protocols lining up to give people what they want - which is convenience and the ability to receive customer support when things go wrong. Be on the lookout for more custodial protocols and services taking more centralized approaches to how they approach blockchain issues. Will some sort of balance play out or will one side dominate? Hope is not lost though as plenty of crypto native talented builders are currently hard at work. I’m very curious to see how this develops and will be revisiting this issue again in time.
