Frequently asked
Questions people ask before choosing web3 apps
What counts as a web3 app?
Web3 apps are onchain products and tools that go beyond standard exchange, wallet, payment, or card categories. That can include DeFi, NFT, social, gaming, and broader onchain utility apps.
When should I explore web3 apps instead of another crypto category?
This category makes sense when your main question is what to use next onchain, not how to buy crypto, store assets, or move funds between systems.
What matters most when choosing a web3 app path?
Use-case fit, ecosystem fit, operating style, and confidence signal usually matter most.
