That is because the person that wrote the article doesn't have enough knowledge about crypto, web3, or the spatial web. Start there it will be eye opening.

Great to see a post aimed at getting apps on blockchains like Ethereum.

For website development, Nimiq can be an interesting project. Nimiq aims to be a cryptocurrency network for fast and near free payments. Nothing new there.

But the unique aspect is that it all runs in a browser. Your user does not have to install anything. Just point and click and they have a wallet. It takes 30 seconds to create one.

The link is: wallet.nimiq.com/

The crazy aspect is that the connection to the network is direct. There is no server handling the connection and pruning the data for the user. A 100% direct connection in a few seconds, all in the browser. A very nice feat and ideal for integration in web apps.

For talented web devs like you, it should be easy to incorporate Nimiq in a webpage. Like a game or a shop. Some examples of games that use NIM as currency. Make a wallet and you can earn some playing the games.

Cool article. There needs to be more web3 dev content. Trying to learn or find information on the non traditional stack is difficult. There is a slew of information on the ETH network but not much on other networks as a whole.

Hi Nader
Great post :)
I have one question. As a react native developer, how many opportunities are available to be a Dapp developer. I don't want to quit mobile development.
