The failure of a product is often not due to its own problems, but rather the lack of something that makes users come back.



A truly vibrant Web3 application understands a core principle — coherence. Your orders remain open and do not disappear without reason; list information is persistently visible, so when you log in next time, it's right there; task progress won't be reset mysteriously, the system remembers which step you reached. This design approach changes not only the user experience but also user behavior itself. Before logging out, you already know what to do next time, and this certainty is enough to motivate users to reopen the app.

theoretically speaking, this persistence layer argument maps directly onto cross-rollup state verification problems... like, the moment you guarantee state continuity across sessions, you're essentially solving a localized blockchain trilemma. users return because the system promises determinism—which is exactly what recursive SNARKs enable at scale

In simple terms, it’s about giving users a reason to open the app again. Web2 has already figured this out long ago. This continuity truly hits the pain point—half of Web3 projects fail because "users forget what they were doing after logging out." Persistent records seem simple, but very few Web3 applications truly achieve no missed deadlines, and most are still messing around. Orders disappear, tasks get reset—these annoying issues happen every day. No wonder everyone has left.

Exactly right. Right now, many Web3 applications have terrible user experiences—logging out means everything is gone, and the next time you come back, you have to adapt all over again. Who the hell has that kind of patience?

Wow, you're so right. Most projects fail here, burning money daily to develop new features, yet user retention remains terrible. Continuity is indeed the ceiling for Web3 projects. Isn't data permanence the ultimate solution? This is true lock-in, much more effective than any points system.

In other words, it's about retaining users and preventing them from making a pointless trip. --- The consistency aspect has long been understood by traditional apps; Web3 is still exploring. --- Order won't just disappear out of thin air; if that basic function isn't done well, no wonder users leave. --- It just feels like giving people a reason to open it again, that's all. --- This logic is clear-headed. A product's failure isn't because it's bad, but because it doesn't give people a reason to come back. --- Certainty drives... sounds impressive, but actually it's just about not randomly resetting user data. --- Every time I log in, I get confused. Where's the progress from last time? Who still plays like that? --- The biggest thing Web3 apps might be missing is just this—poor persistent record keeping.

Well said. That's exactly why so many projects die so quickly... users have no reason to come back. Coherence is truly an overlooked aspect; most applications simply can't achieve it. This is the true essence of retention—it's not about marketing, but about giving users the next step.

Exactly right, that's why a bunch of Web3 products became obsolete overnight. Most applications now are just one-time consumables; once used, they're discarded. The concept of coherence has been well understood by traditional internet for a long time. Why do we have to re-explain it in Web3? Honestly, retaining users is that simple. Don't bother with all the flashy stuff; building a solid foundation is more important than anything else.
