Web3 has attempted to address some of these issues, but so far our user research points to a lack of maturity in creating useful & engaging experiences. We'll share applied design practices that help keep users in-charge (e.g., design suggestions for informed consent, aid decision making, privacy & security by default, etc.), without interfering in enjoyable browsing experiences.
