Thinking about jumping from Web2 to Web3? Here’s what I wish someone told me before I made the switch: Everything is public. Your code, your transactions—on-chain = open book. You can’t fix bugs post-deploy. Once it's live, it’s really live. Gas fees are real. Forget infinite testing loops. Every action costs. Frontends feel familiar. You’ll still use React, but now you’ll add Ethers.js or Wagmi. Security is not optional. One mistake can cost millions. Always audit. Web3 is weird, wild, and insanely exciting. If you're bored of REST APIs and want to build the next layer of the internet—start slow, but start. Let’s make the decentralized web not just possible, but usable.

Thinking about jumping from Web2 to Web3? Here’s what I wish someone told me before I made the switch:

  1. Everything is public. Your code, your transactions—on-chain = open book.
  2. You can’t fix bugs post-deploy. Once it's live, it’s really live.
  3. Gas fees are real. Forget infinite testing loops. Every action costs.
  4. Frontends feel familiar. You’ll still use React, but now you’ll add Ethers.js or Wagmi.
  5. Security is not optional. One mistake can cost millions. Always audit.
  6. Web3 is weird, wild, and insanely exciting. If you're bored of REST APIs and want to build the next layer of the internet—start slow, but start.

Let’s make the decentralized web not just possible, but usable.
