Crypto wallets face the same usability crisis the early internet did in 1990 when users had to remember IP addresses instead of simple domain names. Web3 domains are solving this by converting complex 42-character wallet addresses into easy-to-remember names like traditional websites. With 10 million domains already registered and the market projected to hit $6 billion by 2025, Web3 domains are becoming the foundational identity layer for decentralized applications, making crypto accessible to mainstream users while reducing errors and lost funds.
