Most of the current content is either too technical for normal users to understand and know how to use, or too hyped up and lacking long-term value. Chris Dixon's description \"computer and casino culture\" is quite apt. This also hinders more normal users from entering the space.\n\n\"What does this mean for normal users?\"\n\nWeb3Brand hopes to popularize the practical value of Web3 to normal users through in-depth analysis from a user perspective, especially by showcasing the use cases of various applications. This allows users to understand the appeal of Web3 and enables more people to enter this space as consumers and builders.\n\nOur content mainly falls into 3 categories:\n\n1. Web3 application deep-dive: From a user perspective, in-depth analysis of application projects' user scenarios and user value to help users better understand and grasp relevant trends.\n2. Web3 brand building: Case studies of native IPs and global brands entering Web3, and how to use Web3 to enhance one's business.\n3. Creator economy: How Web3 and AI empower personal brand building and the development of super individuals.\n\n## Member NFT:\nhttps://zora.co/collect/base:0x1229b41b3ef291937eb1d3f0778698903c5933b6/1\n\n## Top Articles\n\n1.
