Why people still fear Web3
Because money can vanish with one wrong tap — and because many UIs speak in a foreign tongue. Good onboarding neutralizes fear one decision at a time with visible status and timely hints, not a 20‑screen tour.
Newbie mode isn’t a tour
Don’t rely on intro videos or patience. Weave learning into the path: micro‑definitions on tap, previews right before commitment, guidance at the exact decision point. The Back button always works.
Useful patterns
- Wallet connect without friction. One idea per screen; fewer steps, fewer terms.
- Human costs. Don’t show just “gwei” — estimate fiat.
- Statuses & receipts. Visible history and explorer links build trust.
- Safe defaults. Minimal required permissions; explicit approvals.
Track wallet‑connect CR, DAW/MAW, repeat actions, and ticket reduction — not pageviews. If a newcomer reaches first value, they’ll return.
