Here is a list of Web3 applications and platforms that are likely to quickly benefit from the easing of Apple's policy:
1. Magic Eden (NFT marketplace)
One of the largest NFT marketplaces on Solana.
Previously faced limitations due to Apple's policy on in-app assets.
With the new conditions, it will be able to integrate direct NFT purchases through external gateways.
2. OpenSea (universal NFT marketplace)
With a mobile app, it will provide a more direct path to purchase NFTs without Apple fees.
Convenience and potentially turnover will increase.
3. Uniswap Wallet and other DeFi wallets
Uniswap, Rainbow, Trust Wallet, and others can simplify the token exchange process and connection to decentralized protocols by directing users to external bridges or on-ramp services.
4. Axie Infinity and other blockchain games
Play-to-earn games will be able to legally sell NFT characters and tokens through external payment mechanisms.
The monetization model will become more transparent and profitable.
5. Sound.xyz, Zora, Audius (music Web3 platforms)
Applications where music content is presented as NFTs will be able to better monetize through alternative purchases and subscriptions, bypassing App Store fees.
6. Lens Protocol / Farcaster (Web3 social networks)
Applications that work with decentralized identity and content ownership will be able to implement tokenized monetization more easily.
7. POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol)
The distribution of NFT 'badges' for attending events will become easier in mobile apps with the ability for direct purchase and storage.
