In a recent X Spaces conversation, Diego Prats, VP of Engineering at Nexus, sat down with Dynamic CEO and co-founder Itai Turbahn to unpack one of the most pressing challenges in Web3: How to onboard millions of users with an experience that feels seamless, secure, and intuitive.
As Prats put it, the design mandate from the outset was ambitious: “No matter what level of crypto experience they had, no matter whether they had a superpower computer or an old phone… we wanted something almost magical, that could work for any device.”
That core principle — an onboarding experience that is “simple, secure, magical.”
From the start, Nexus aimed to break from the Web3 norm of designing for crypto-native users. As Prats put it:
“Most onboarding experiences in Web3 are built for power users. That creates a huge barrier. We knew we didn’t want to compromise.”
Turbahn shared that ethos, emphasizing that onboarding flows must be tailored to the use case — what works for a game is different than what works for a neobank.
But across the board, he noted, “Our goal is to abstract away the complexity. End users log in with email and everything just works. It feels magical — but it’s backed by deep security.”
This commitment to ease of access has paid off. Prats shared that Nexus has seen participation from users in over 190 countries across a huge range of devices —from smartphones to smart TVs. “We’ve seen people from laptops, phones of all types… people really connected to the mission,” he said.
Turbahn confirmed the enthusiasm:
“Nexus has by far one of the most passionate user bases out there. It’s not just logins — it’s repeat logins, ongoing contributions, a global wave of excitement.”
What’s next
For Dynamic, the future is about pushing abstraction even further — launching products like stablecoin accounts to make crypto-native features invisible to developers and users alike.
“We’re in the abstraction business,” said Turbahn. “If someone wants to use Nexus, we want them to be able to do it in a minute.”
For Nexus, the next milestone is crystal clear: Mainnet. “We’re listening to the community,” said Prats. “And we’re getting ready.”
