What do you think about the current state of the Web 3.0 field?
Yuya Sakai (hereinafter, Sakai): I think the biggest attraction of Web 3.0 is its interoperability. By utilizing blockchain technology, it becomes very easy to share data between services, making business development more convenient and efficient. By utilizing the token ecosystem here, we believe it is possible to build incentives for users and ecosystem participants as services grow, and speed up business growth.
I also think that the Web 3.0 industry is about to enter a period of growth. Once the infrastructure area is in place, the complex UX unique to Web 3.0, such as wallets and gas fees, is being resolved. From now on, I think the key to mass adoption of Web 3.0 will be how many convenient, fun, and life-enhancing applications are created.
On the other hand, one issue I feel is that there is still a shortage of human resources. Not only engineers, but also PdMs who can design products that utilize the characteristics of blockchain and BizDevs who can design businesses are in short supply. I think this is due to the fact that understanding of Web 3.0 is still not advanced. Experience in developing Web 2.0 services is often useful in the Web 3.0 field, and we hope that many talents will flow in.
