One of the biggest roadblocks for building the Web3 and smart contract ecosystem is technical difficulty and resource cost. Going to market fast and finding product market fit can feely nearly impossible. This is a problem for companies and projects that want to participate in the new internet but can’t invest the development time and cost.
In addition, trying to find qualified developers to work on projects is difficult. In fact, there’s a shortage of talented software engineers across the whole tech world. And recruiters anticipate the talent shortage to worsen in the coming years.
A recent survey found that 57% of tech executives believe finding qualified employees is the biggest concern for their company. This lack of talent is already felt and will be particularly acute for Web3 and blockchain development.
Web3 development requires frontend developers, backend developers, and smart contract engineers. And they need specialized technical knowledge to build on blockchain. Along with a lack of talent, there are also few tools available to make their jobs easier.
There are many no-code platforms and resources available for software and Web2. Over time, these workflows have been streamlined to make it easier for teams to build and deploy products. But none of that exists for Web3 yet.
Until now, smart contracts, token utility, and dApps all need to be coded from scratch. This is time consuming and often redundant.
No-code tools have become an essential part of developing for cloud, web, and software. These tools have made it easier for developers to create new products quickly without having to re-code common elements.
It also lowers the barrier of entry for less technical users to help create and implement applications. No-code and low-code platforms offer a GUI and drag-and-drop building tools that are much faster and easier to use. This changed the game for websites, for example.
Today, nearly anyone can build their own website using platforms like Wordpress and Squarespace. That wasn’t the case 20 years ago when you needed a developer just to get a website off the ground. That’s the stage that Web3 is in right now. Product teams are waiting for those no-code tools for smart contracts and tokens.
When blockchain development requires valuable developer time spent solving redundant problems from scratch, projects screech to a halt. Shipping new features and products becomes expensive, time-consuming, and, sadly, many projects fail.
Because building Web3 infrastructure and applications is so difficult, “project no-man’s land” has created a graveyard of failed projects. This is when the product hype cycle brings excitement and engagement, but the project fails to deliver.
For Web3 founders, project no-man’s land is that span of time between a token-generation event (TGE) and the product launch. After the hype and interest peaks and the product team works to deliver the minimum viable product (MVP), delays, unexpected costs, and user expectations can kill a project.
Even if a team has the talent and the budget, both can easily be squandered if they’re not used efficiently. That’s why having smart contract engineers build common contracts like token minting is a waste of time. Valuable resources are better spent on core product features. But common contracts and utility are necessary!
So, how do founders, administrators, and Web2 product teams avoid wasting time and energy? The answer is simple because we’ve already done it in Web2. No-code tools and pre-built features that teams can “plug and play” will free up developer time for critical coding.
Anyone who understands web or software development knows that these tools will come to Web3 – it’s just a matter of when. Thankfully, Add3 has been hard at work, creating the no-code Web3 platform that everyone wants.
Add3 is a no-code platform that makes it easy for developers and non-technical users to create Web3 features and functionality. With its intuitive Web2 GUI, teams can quickly and easily deploy customizable smart contracts across more than 10 blockchains. And they don’t need extensive coding knowledge. In addition, Add3 smart contracts are pre-audited, which means there are no delays before you can deploy.
Because many projects need the same basic functionality, pre-written contracts allow teams to focus on the core features and proprietary code for their MVP. They won’t need to spend time and resources on redundant features that add to the overall user experience but don’t make a project unique.
Add3 is one of the first platforms available for teams with little or no blockchain engineering knowledge. Developers, founders, administrators, and Web2 teams can create their own terminal and deploy contracts on multiple blockchains. Users can also customize their terminal with personalized settings and add their own branding.
If teams want to go to market faster, they should stop wasting time re-coding common contracts and assigning developers to redundant projects. With Add3, your product team can focus on what’s important for the viability of the MVP. But at the same time, you won’t sacrifice basic functionality that users want and expect.
