Alta founder Jenny Wang recently shared a refreshing take on what truly drives product success in an interview with Forbes—and it's not about engineering complexity.
Her message is straightforward: the underlying technology might be sophisticated, but what actually moves the needle is delivering something users genuinely enjoy using. "What matters is that you are providing a useful product that is also fun, entertaining, and makes them happy," Wang explains.
This philosophy cuts through the noise in the Web3 space, where many projects get caught up showcasing technical specs without asking the fundamental question: does anyone actually want to use this? Wang's point hits different—it's a reminder that adoption isn't driven by marketing hype or architectural elegance alone. It's about that moment when a user opens your app and feels the experience was worth their time.
For teams building in crypto and decentralized platforms, her insight serves as a useful north star: nail the fundamentals first, make the experience frictionless and even enjoyable, and the technology will speak for itself. That's how you build products people reach for, not just products people talk about.

This is the real talk. These web3 people keep boasting about what architecture and what TPS, but no one is actually using it...

To be honest, this viewpoint is quite straightforward; too many crypto projects are indeed just castles in the air built on technical jargon.
Come on, most web3 products are never truly used by anyone; talk is cheap.
No matter how bad the UX experience is, they still have to brag about how decentralized they are; it's hilarious.
Jenny's words wake up those in a dream, but unfortunately, most teams can't take it in.

That's right, this is the right path. Those web3 projects are always boasting about their technical architecture, but the user experience is terrible. I really wonder, who would use it every day?

Ha, you're right, these web3 people just know how to brag about technical architecture, but no one wants to use it.

It's again this trap... useful > complex, this point should be taken in by the web3 circle.

Indeed, this statement hits the pain points of many crypto world projects... Every day they brag about the technical architecture, but the user experience is terrible.
