On Card Space, because your space is basically a website, you can change the layout. You can add, remove, and rearrange cards inside that layout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSl6nzC4JjM&t=507s
Card Catalog is like a template gallery which you can use to insert your own media or other things onto your Card Space.

Instead of simply logging into a platform, dApp users are usually forced to download a separate browser plugin like MetaMask. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#4715
Once a wallet is connected, users must fund it with "gas." The fees go directly to miners who provide computer power to verify transactions and maintain the network. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#83b3
To make transactions in Web 3.0, users must engage in a head-splitting collision of currencies between varying networks and USD. Thankfully, some dApps have started developing protocols for gasless transactions. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#6d39
Gas fees are not only a complicated concept to understand for users who aren't crypto-savvy—those fees can become insanely expensive too. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#3fde
Some projects are making use of proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms in order to reduce gas prices and eliminate the environmentally harmful practices of crypto mining. <https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#87f7>
Losing a seed phrase means that the user loses everything. Recent developments offered by dApps and various wallets have attempted to resolve this issue. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#9a8e
What do we need for Web 3.0 to reach its full potential? Part 2 of our "Making Web 3.0 Usable" series offers solutions to the problems Web 3.0 is currently facing when it comes to mainstream adoption. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-2-32788be88565
The current user experience around transaction confirmation is highly tedious. How can Web 3.0 become a consumer go-to when it seemingly dislikes its own consumer base? https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#00ef
The key to ensuring smooth online transactions is creating an easy checkout process. Web 3.0 has yet to reach this stage. Read on to learn what may be the solution to this: https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#1181
Varying tokens, fluctuating exchange rates, and floating currencies make transactions on Web 3.0 unclear. Tokens displayed without revealing their worth or corresponding exchange rates cause transactions on Web 3.0 to be quite a challenge. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#6ddc
One way to remedy the uncertainty surrounding exchange rates on a blockchain is to establish a foundation where conversion to a local currency occurs. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#6d75
Most dApps assume users already have the knowledge to set up their wallets and obtain tokens.

Unfortunately, many users are not familiar with these steps. Moreover, if users need specialized tokens, they will need to navigate decentralized exchanges. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#8659
Some fiat-to-crypto gateways are developing ways to streamline and clarify the onboarding process.

Here are some examples. Read more here: https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#9c6c
After users set up their wallets and learn the ins and outs of floating currencies, they still have to switch between dual networks when they want to process a transaction.

This process is yet another challenge for them. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#76d6
Tools like WalletConnect 2.0 use an open protocol that establishes pairings between two apps and devices by way of a relay server that simplifies navigating cross-chain instances. https://t.co/WKgh0X54cV
Navigating between the two layers of the blockchain takes a lot of time. Deposits and withdrawals between the two networks can take a lengthy period considerably. https://medium.com/cardstack/making-web-3-0-usable-part-1-e4351003a478#eb95
