Are you building for the bull run, son?
So the biggest week Web3 weebs were waiting for just wrapped, The India Blockchain Week. We saw ETHIndia being the world’s largest Ethereum hackathon. Around 1700 builders participated, and we saw a glimpse of projects with the potential to take over the Web3 world soon.
If you couldn’t make it to Bangalore or the events, here’s a glimpse of them from our lens:
But after all the hype has settled down and builder enthusiasm is up, even in these market conditions, let’s take our time to focus our attention on the core of Web3. For bear clouds may hide the enthusiasm for a while, but the collective vision keeps you warm to build.
What are we working towards in web3 next?
Decentralization
Scalability
Security
Why do we need to work in these areas?
Centralized infrastructure
While Web3 is perceived to be decentralized, developers integrate Web3 applications with Web2 protocols to make them work. The functioning of dApps is hinged on a centralized infrastructure.
Lack of regulatory clarity
Another major challenge before Web3 is a lack of regulatory clarity. Technologies are advancing fast, and regulators will take time to catch up. The absence of regulatory oversight has led to unethical behaviour in some projects, as in the FTX fiasco.
Lack of trust
Rug pulls are another hindrance Web3 applications are facing. Everyone is wary of unsafe practices and Fraudulent individuals breaking through the defences. And unless people establish trust in it, Web3 can’t go mainstream.
But with quick advancements and visionary builders joining Web3 every day, it won’t be difficult seeing improved Web3 architecture and new users in the next bull run. Till then, never stop crafting.

Aave is a leading DeFi protocol for lending and borrowing, with over $4 billion in value locked. Aave is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol where users can participate as depositors or borrowers. Depositors provide liquidity to the market to earn a passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow in an overcollateralized (perpetually) or undercollateralized (one-block liquidity) fashion.
Aave serves as the foundation of most of DeFi and is one of the most reliable protocols in the ecosystem. Many institutional and retail users can now use DeFi thanks to Aave.
