In the ever-evolving world of Web3, some players, whom I call Web3 Maximalists, strongly believe that success requires severing all ties with Web2. These maximalists advocate for immediate and total adoption of decentralization, rejecting anything that might remind them of the old Web2 world. While their passion for change is admirable, it is often counterproductive. At Crossmarketo, we firmly believe that the best Web3 projects are those that know how to build on the solid foundations of Web2 while paving the way for the future. And that is precisely what we are doing with our platform, inspired by the approach taken by projects like Cross The Ages.
Web3 Maximalists are a group of blockchain advocates who believe technological evolution must be uncompromising. For them, anything related to Web2 is obsolete, useless, and even counterproductive for the future of Web3. They advocate for a clean break, a revolution that, in their view, must sweep away the old world to establish a new digital order.
Their discourse is appealing, especially to newcomers in the crypto world, drawn by the idea of total decentralization and absolute freedom. However, this radical vision overlooks a fundamental reality: real users are not ready for such a leap into the unknown. They need a secure, familiar framework that guides them step by step into this new era.
The problem with this maximalist approach is that it creates closed microcosms, isolated communities that end up self-destructing. These communities are often focused on the pursuit of quick wealth, driven by speculative trends rather than a long-term vision. Their projects, although innovative on paper, often fail to achieve broader adoption because they do not meet the real needs of users.
By refusing to integrate proven elements of Web2, these projects cut themselves off from the majority of potential users, limiting themselves to a small circle of enthusiasts who eventually find themselves stuck in a loop. The result is often the same: projects collapse at the first market downturn, taking with them the trust of investors and users.
At Crossmarketo, we understand that to succeed in Web3, it is not enough to reject Web2. On the contrary, one must know how to leverage it, gradually integrating users into a familiar ecosystem. That’s why we chose to build on Cross The Ages, a project that embodies this balanced approach. CTA is first and foremost a Web2 project, solid and well-established, with an infrastructure that works and is understandable for the general public. But it’s also an ambitious project, aiming to lead its users toward Web3 in a smooth and gradual way.
This strategy is far from being a weakness; it’s precisely what makes CTA strong. Critics who claim CTA is not “Web3 enough” miss the point: it is by remaining anchored in proven Web2 practices that CTA can truly bridge the general public to Web3. And this is exactly the philosophy we apply at Crossmarketo.
Web3 Maximalists don’t realize that for their vision to materialize, users must be gradually led to adopt this technology. The general public doesn’t adopt new technologies based on ideology, but because they provide concrete, accessible solutions to their everyday needs. Refusing to acknowledge this traps innovation in a closed loop, never reaching its full potential.
At Crossmarketo, we have learned from history. We know that to create a sustainable platform, we need a strategy grounded in reality, capable of adapting to current needs while preparing for the future. We are not trying to revolutionize everything at once, but to build a solid bridge between Web2 and Web3 so that this transition can happen smoothly and successfully.
True expertise is not about rejecting the past, but about intelligently integrating it to build a sustainable future. This vision guides every decision at Crossmarketo. If you share this vision, join us. Together, we can create a real revolution, not just for today, but for the years to come.
