Summary
Web3 adoption is one of the most talked-about challenges in blockchain, but what does it really mean? In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, we dig into what drives real user adoption beyond hype and token incentives. From sticky product design and gaming loops to wallet abstraction, UI/UX friction, and multi-chain interoperability, the conversation explores how projects can move past “play-to-earn” and “social-fi” models toward genuine, mainstream usage.
We also break down why abstraction matters, how wallets are evolving, and what it will take for blockchains to feel as seamless as the internet itself.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
