Web3 social networks suffer from adoption challenges due to their complexity, lack of user-friendly interfaces, and fragmented ecosystems. Users must deal with wallets, crypto transactions, and blockchain terminology to navigate Web3—hurdles that put off even the most advanced users. Developers struggle to attract users and scale their Dapps without accessible, well-integrated platforms.
Telegram transformed social platforms through the integration of bots and mini-apps, providing services such as payments, games, and productivity tools all within the messaging interface. This model created an ecosystem in which developers could implement services while users could easily access them, driving engagement and usability. It shows how integrating mini-apps into familiar platforms can drive adoption and innovation.
