After reading @SmokeyTheBera's tweet, I think I have enough evidence to know that Ethereum has a marketing problem. Ethereum can do a lot more to improve UX, but saying that the ecosystem doesn’t care about UX is a stretch. People make this mistake for a simple reason: no one is selling Ethereum (the way people bullpost Solana every second).
So how do I know "Ethereum people don’t care about UX" is false? Well, you have teams like @zkemail, @DauthNetwork, @ParticleNtwrk, and @Web3Auth shipping production-ready social login tools for Ethereum users. Most (if not all) of these projects are already deployed on L1/L2s today.
For context m, you can (securely) onramp to mainnet L2s (receive USDC in < 2 minutes) today with Venmo and email using (haven't used the tool, but documented workflow look slick af). Also, many wallet-as-a-service providers already allow you to create a smart wallet with your web2 identity and remove many pain points associated with crypto onboarding (check out Coinbase's Smart Wallet for an example: ).
Have I mentioned we're already getting EIP-7702 in the next hard fork and that opens a ton of UX improvements? Gas sponsorship (users can onboard w/o holding native ETH), custom verification logic (MFA/2FA), and extra security (e.g., daily spending limits and emergency recovery mechanisms) are some of the features implementing EIP-7702 provides for users. @thirdweb has a great article on EIP-7702:
RIP-7212 () is already deployed on many L2s today and turns any phone with a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) into a secure hardware wallet. It also opens up the opportunity to use passkeys stored on a device for wallet authentication--making it all the more easier to manage crypto w/o losing it all to phishing, seed phrase compromises, etc.
Yes, we do research--but a lot of that research is also focused on end-user experience. For instance, @PrivacyScaling is working on aggregating ERC-4337 signatures to make using smart wallets on L2 cheaper). @VitalikButerin is also involved with @BenDiFrancesco and the ScopeLift team to standardize stealth addresses on Ethereum via ERC-5564 () and give users the same level of privacy they already expect with traditional financial applications (@fluidkey is built on the ERC-5564 standards).
I haven't mentioned the dozens of teams (@AlchemyPlatform, @zerodev_app, @etherspot, @biconomy, @getclave, @daimo_eth, etc.) shipping UX-friendly applications in the Ethereum L1/L2 ecosystem. I'm likely missing out on a lot more names and projects, but you get the idea: don't fade Ethereum on UX.zkp2p.xyz
