Notes from shipping a Web3 app to non-crypto users
What I learned designing TibebChain for people who didn't come for the chain — they came for the books.
TibebChain is a reading platform that happens to live on a blockchain. Most of our readers don't know what a wallet is, and they shouldn't have to. The chain is the plumbing. The books are the product.
Hide the chain, keep the trust
We use email login, sponsored transactions, and a UI that never says 'gas' to a reader. The on-chain receipts are still there — verifiable, portable, ownable — but they're a feature you discover, not a tax you pay.
