How Ice Open Network Is Making Web3 Buildable By Anyone — No Devs Needed
Building apps can be expensive, stressful and complicated. It can take thousands of dollars to create software — and entrepreneurs with bright ideas but no coding experience have little choice but to put their faith in expensive developers.
The pain points don’t end here, either. App stores are hugely competitive places, making it difficult to achieve visibility. Apple charges an eye-watering commission of 30% on in-app purchases and subscriptions — eating into profitability.
Strict terms of service also need to be complied with, and there’s an ever-present risk that apps could suddenly be removed from stores without warning.
Combined, all of these factors make Web2 a prohibitively difficult and frustrating place to innovate, with high financial and technological barriers to entry. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Power of Web3
Web3 puts decentralization and independence at the heart of the internet — with advantages for entrepreneurs and consumers alike. Businesses can build closer connections with their audiences, users enjoy full control over their data, and both parties can save substantial amounts on fees by cutting out intermediaries.
Blockchain is at the heart of Web3, but this too has brought challenges. For one, coding smart contracts is a challenge for the uninitiated. Navigating crypto wallets and block explorers can also be intimidating for everyday consumers, with the steep learning curve serving as a roadblock to adoption.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Ice Open Network is making Web3 buildable by anyone, for anyone — with cutting-edge tools that make blockchain accessible for real-world entrepreneurs.
One upcoming innovation, which will launch later in 2025, is a no-code, drag-and-drop builder for decentralized applications — “the blueprint for the New Internet,” …
