Entering Web3, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon—too many products fall into the same dead end.
They cram all imaginable features onto the homepage, afraid that users might miss them. Whitepapers are filled with obscure technical jargon, as if the more complex it is, the more high-end it appears. This "sell to the death" style is like a newcomer eager to prove itself, eager to showcase all its glittering jewels.
But some products take a different path. For example, bluwhaleai gives a completely different impression—it has a sense of restrained beauty. The well-measured use of white space makes you feel like it's doing subtraction, not addition. Simplicity isn't because there are fewer features, but because the designers truly understand what is necessary and what can be gracefully omitted.
In an industry where everything is about telling you immediately, this kind of restraint is actually quite rare.

Products that are cluttered with features can indeed be exhausting to look at, whereas minimalist designs with white space are more comfortable.

Ah, you hit the nail on the head. Most projects are just feature stacking maniacs, eager to throw all the source code onto the homepage.
Wait, is subtractive design really so rare in the crypto space? Why do I still feel like there's a bunch of garbage UI gasping for air.
But then again, restraint is indeed more valuable than showing off. It's just that most teams don't have the patience for that.
Honestly, it's a matter of comprehension. Only those who truly understand users know what to hide.
This is what should be learned, not stacking layer after layer on top.

Haha, finally someone has exposed this phenomenon. Most projects are just short-sighted and eager for quick gains, afraid that users won't immediately see how "strong" they are, which makes them seem particularly cheap.
The theory of "less is more" is easy to say, but very few can truly achieve it. Isn't restraint in design the highest form of showing off?

The consultation records show that the clinical manifestations of this type of project are indeed highly consistent—function stacking, terminology misuse, information overload... In plain terms, it's a collective "design anxiety." On the other hand, those products that truly have stability are actually more worth regular review.

Some products in the industry really seem to be afraid you'll miss their features, piling up like a messy mix... Conversely, the simpler and cleaner they are, the more comfortable they look.
