A new era of decentralization
In their forecast, experts emphasized the importance of decentralization. According to them, it helps create reliable infrastructure, promotes competition and diversity of ecosystems, and gives users the right to choose.
Changes in UX
The fund’s partners believe that user experience (UX) trends in the cryptocurrency space have remained virtually unchanged since 2016. However, developers are actively testing and deploying new tools that can change the UX. This includes access keys that make it easier to log into apps and websites, smart accounts, in-app crypto wallets, and remote procedure call (RPC) technologies that can recognize user wants and needs.
Combining Blockchains with AI
Experts believe that with the help of cryptography, everyone can contribute to the development of AI and make it more accessible. However, it is necessary to find ways to decentralize generative AI and control it democratically, so that no one participant has the right to decide for everyone else, experts noted.
NFTs will become an integral part of the brand
As a16z partners stated, many well-known companies offer digital products to the mass consumer. As an example, they cited Starbucks with a gamified loyalty program, NFT collections from Nike and Reddit.
In addition, experts predicted the further development of Play-to-Earn games and modular technology stacks in 2024.
