Episode notes
Push Protocol's Purpose
- Push Protocol is a decentralized communication protocol for Web3, enabling dApps and smart contracts to send messages directly to wallet addresses.
- This solves the lack of direct communication in Web3, where wallet addresses act as usernames.
Push Protocol's Functionality
- Push Protocol is multi-chain and platform-agnostic, allowing for broader accessibility.
- It addresses use cases like DeFi alerts, governance notifications, metaverse communication, and NFT interactions.
Bridging the Web2-Web3 Gap
- Web3 lacks the notification infrastructure of Web2, hindering user engagement.
- Push Protocol aims to replicate the familiar notification experience of Web2 for Web3 applications, using wallet addresses as identifiers.
