Why Is The Traffic Portal In The Web3 Era The Browser Rather Than The Wallet?
In the web2 era, traffic portals have gone through several stages, from early navigation websites to search engines to mobile social applications. So what will be the traffic portal in the web3 era? Some people mention it is a market information website and some people suggest it is a wallet app, but we think it is a dedicated web3 browser. First of all, whether it is market information websites, social applications, exchanges, etc., we do not rule out that it can obtain a large amount of user traffic. However, it is not the way for users to enter web3 applications. At present, the only way for users to enter web3 applications is through a wallet or browser. Web3 applications are completely developed based on the web. All applications need to be opened in a browser and accessed through wallet links. Therefore, the browser is the necessary way to web3 applications. You may think that you can also open those dapps in the wallet. That’s because the wallets are currently embedded with a WebView control to support access to some relatively simple web3 products that are not used on a large scale, so you can open various Defi products and other interactive web3 products in the wallet, but will you access decentralized Twitter in your wallet or use decentralized storage to watch videos? Just like you wouldn't access this mess in your banking app. Web3 applications are all run based on various blockchains. To use these applications, you must link to the corresponding wallet. There are currently hundreds of chains in the market, and browsers can load and run various wallet extensions to access a certain application on a certain chain. The open-source architecture of the browser allows it to support the operation of any wallet extensions. For wallets, developers will be required to add functions when the chain matures. Most wallets are targeted at a certain chain. For users, if they need to access all chains in the market, they need to download lots of wallets on their mobile phones. We believe most users are frustrated, so at this point, the browser has an inherent advantage in being user-friendly compared to wallets. Finally, let’s talk about why web3 applications do not need mobile apps. In the web2 era, we have seen that except for a few products with huge user bases that require apps, most apps do not have many users. And a large number of web3 products do not have a large number of users as well, so there is no need to develop their apps; Internet companies develop their apps to give users a good experience, and with the advancement of technology, browsers can fully meet this demand, and for web3 products, it is more convenient to quickly acquire users by supporting the access through a browser. Therefore, in the web3 era, the future traffic portal must be a web3-specific browser based on user needs rather than a wallet app. As the only open-source web3 mobile browser in the world that supports extensions, Mises Browser may be destined to become the traffic portal in the #Web3 world. $BTC $ETH $BNB
Mises Browser — The best mobile choice for web3 users
Recently the total users of Mises #browser has exceeded 2.2 million. As a member of Mises, I’ve witnessed the whole process from the growth of this heterogeneous product to its outbreak, accompanied by the continuous improvement of the experience of using the Mises Browser. I think that it has become the best browser for web3 users on the mobile end and even a must-have tool.
The Vision of Mises is to build a web3 portal on the mobile end and is committed to helping users have the same good web3 experience on mobile as that on PC. To understand how it can do that let’s take a look at the path Mises has gone through.
On Mises, there are 4 major features to satisfy users’ demand for using Web3 mobile: Chrome extension, Web3 dapp store, Web3 domain name resolution and anti phishing system. Usually, Web3 users access Web3 dapp by using Chrome extension wallet on PC, but there is no mobile browser which has this feature, instead, they have to download lots of wallet apps to access #dapps built on different blockchains. Thanks to the open architecture of Mises, you can use all the wallet extensions on mobile Mises without downloading wallet mobile apps. Many may say that multi chain wallets are solving this problem by supporting more ecosystems in them, but I think the lagging of integrating a newly developed public chain makes this model a disadvantage compared to Mises’ open architecture. It is said that in 2023, lots of web3 users downloaded Mises because at the beginning of the launch of $APT $SUI and #BRC20 ecosystem , there were no mobile app versions of their wallet.
The combination of Web3 dapp store and anti-phishing system can help users access dapps quickly and safely, and also help these dapps promote their products to mobile users. It is reported that more than 1,000 dapps have built partnerships with Mises and got integrated into Mises dapp store, including 1inch, Polygon, Tron and other well-known projects and public chains. It is reported that Mises has become the first choice of many users and projects on the mobile end, with more than 1.8 million on-chain interactions generated on Mises everyday.
The last core feature of the Mises browser is the support for resolving web3 domains, which most people don't know about. For example, you can access any domain name on Mises that you can open on a browser like Chrome, but you can't open a web3 domain name like Vitalik.eth on Chrome. Currently, most Dapps are still deployed on centralized servers, the future trend of web3 must be the decentralization of the Dapp web page itself, that is to say, the Dapp will be deployed on a decentralized storage network, and their domain names must also be decentralized domain names, and Mises has already supported a number of decentralized domain name resolution such as ENS, Unstoppable Domain, .bit, and so on.
Our next focus will be the development of the Mises iOS version, decentralized VPN, integrate access to decentralized storage and AI services in it and develop decentralized information marketplace, etc., to meet the needs of Web3 users on mobile. Perhaps not far from now, Mises will become the mobile portal of Web3 on mobile as stated in its vision. #web3 #browser #DID #Ai
