2/2: The question that changed the most projects:
"How does your user know this transaction is safe?"
In Web3, trust = UX.

The basics, done well, win hackathons.

Congratulations to all the hackers, mentors, brands, speakers, judges, and organizers! Keep up the great work!

1/2 Finished two UX mentorship sessions at ETHGlobal Online 2026 (+ 1:1s over DM).

What kept coming up wasn't lack of talent — it was onboarding flows that assumed too much from the user...

[Edgar Navarro @ByEdgarNavarro]

Yesterday I wrapped my first mentor session at ETHOnline 2026 🚀
Spent some of the 90 minutes giving UX feedback to Web3 builders — from onboarding flows to making blockchain actually usable. The energy in this hackathon is unreal.

Long live @poapxyz! One of the best Web3 community projects in history.

[isabel @izonline]

After 5+ years, we're winding down POAP.

Over the years, we:
* minted millions of collectibles across hundreds of communities.
* did incredible collaborations with world-class organizations - Coinbase, Amex, WMG, Bayer, and a long tail of others, including countless in crypto.
* ran one of the biggest activations at Devcon, minting 8000+ collectibles over the course of a week.
* built an Airport Rally to let collectors get POAPs at airports around the world.

POAP meant something to a lot of people.

Unfortunately, crypto's funding cycles and distribution dynamics made it hard to build a sustainable company without cannibalizing the ethos that made POAP mean something. Building on a fragile and quickly evolving stack, in the middle of an incredible hype cycle, only added to the challenges.

Still, there are some big lessons I am carrying from the POAP story.

First: Customer communities are the most undervalued asset a company can have. If you build something with soul, people who use it and love it will take your brand everywhere. Do not underestimate the power of customer communities.

Second: Connection is still the point. It's easy to lose that thread when the conversation is about the latest bubbly tech or price speculation, but the people using POAPs at events, in classrooms, at hackathons were getting something real out of it.

Third: Longevity and brand equity are the only moats left. With the time to building and shipping something new collapsing quickly, and distribution becoming increasingly an engineering problem, customers increasingly want to make sure they can trust that the things they are buying will grow and evolve with the market, without changing radically.

Grateful for everyone who believed in what we were building. It's too soon for me to say what's next, but for now, I'm thinking a lot about what GTM looks like in the age of AI.

You have to see it and it's worth trying! Another explosive project from Pablo and his team.

[Pablo Stanley @pablostanley]

working with AI agents is amazing. it's also kind of lonely... it's me, a terminal, and an agent that thinks everything I say is a great idea.

so we made https://t.co/gr8E574R10
a team chat keeping agents in the loop

Hey Designers! This talk by @Una on modern UI patterns for a better user experience on the web during CSS Day 2026 is definitely worth watching.⭐️
