Apple has eased its restrictions on iOS apps, allowing developers to now direct users to external purchase options, including those related to encrypted content and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

This move comes in the wake of judicial rulings in antitrust cases, which have increased pressure on the company to open its ecosystem to more flexibility.

This change is likely to pave the way for blockchain-based applications to enter the consumer market more broadly, as the high commission that Apple imposed on in-app purchases can now be bypassed, which has been a barrier to the growth of business models based on Web3.

Several sectors are likely to benefit from this openness, such as:

NFT marketplaces and play-to-earn games.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and digital wallets.

Platforms that enable content creators to earn income through encrypted tokens.

Decentralized governance applications and community management.

The question here is: Do you think this change will drive Web3 technologies to spread more widely?
