Web3 vs Onchain

The internet's rebellious phase: promises decentralization, delivers a lot of jargon and gas fees meets the blockchain's main event. Here's our take.

Web3

Nice Pick

The internet's rebellious phase: promises decentralization, delivers a lot of jargon and gas fees.

Pros

• Enables decentralized applications (dApps) without central control
• Smart contracts automate trustless transactions
• Users gain ownership of data and digital assets

Cons

• High transaction costs (gas fees) can be prohibitive
• Complexity and steep learning curve for developers and users
• Scalability issues and slow transaction speeds on many blockchains

Onchain

The blockchain's main event. Where your data actually lives, not just the after-party.

Pros

• Ensures full transparency and immutability
• Enables trustless interactions via smart contracts
• Leverages native blockchain security and decentralization

Cons

• Can be slow and expensive due to network congestion
• Limited scalability compared to offchain solutions

The Verdict

Use Web3 if: You want enables decentralized applications (dapps) without central control and can live with high transaction costs (gas fees) can be prohibitive.

Use Onchain if: You prioritize ensures full transparency and immutability over what Web3 offers.

The Bottom Line

Web3 wins

The internet's rebellious phase: promises decentralization, delivers a lot of jargon and gas fees.
