# Notes for session H2 at WalletUncon 2023 Title of talk: Fostering Inclusive Web3 Wallet Design Convener(s) of talk: Aaliyah Pierre Scribe(s) of talk: depatchedmode Links to any presentation matter: Tips: - ## Notes - Inclusion, adoption and innovation are very closely related: they all support each other. - Localization and translation are very critical, and under-served. Only 18% of the world speaks *any* English at all. - Ways of aiding in the understanding of key web3 concepts might vary *greatly* between different communities and cultures: eg. anecdote about a person explaining the blockchain to their parent using the Quran. - To read: - EF Crypto Awareness report. 92% are aware of web3 but only 8% trust it. - Only 18% of black adults in the USA vs 29% of white adults possess crypto assets. - Question #1: Barriers to wallet adoption - Device Access: we need things to work on phones! - Internet Connectivity: we need things to work in low bandwidth environments - Accessibility: we need things to work for folks who aren't eg. sighted - Localization: see the points above about English domincance for a mostly non-English world. - Financial Security: many people don't have funds they can afford to lose - Uncompelling Value Prop: what do I need this for on a daily basis? - Identity requirements: need to give up more than might be needed in order to proof things like KYC. A violation of the principle of least privilege. - Trust of Self: even if folks are compelled to hold crypto assets, they might not feel comfortable and secure self-custodying (eg. "it feels a bit like hiding gold under my bed") - Question #2: What has been done to address these barriers? - Identity requirements: example of German digital ID where a claim about the ID you possess can be verified without sharing anything else (eg. my Driver's License is still valid). Been running since 2021. - - Question #3: What are the blind spots? - Lack of UX research occuring in these projects - Still not a ton of diversity in hiring - Anglo-focus - Over-indexing on "builders" - Question #4: How can we keep the organizations accountable? - If they aren't being inclusive on purpose, don't patron them - Make space for new voices and diverse perspectives at industry events - Do whatever you can to reward and amplify the folks who are actually approaching things with inclusivity in mind ## Links - [description](https://example.com)
