I watched someone abandon DeFi after just ten minutes—not because they were scared of risk, but because the whole thing felt overwhelming.

Too many windows to keep track of. Too many bridges to navigate. Too many competing protocols screaming that they're the best choice.

That complexity is exactly what stopped adoption cold.

Arbitrum changed the game not by reinventing crypto, but by making it actually work. Lower friction. Simpler experience. Users could finally focus on what they wanted to do instead of wrestling with the infrastructure.

That's the real win—stripping away the noise so people can just use the thing.

To be honest, I've seen people give up in ten minutes, but the real problem is those broken bridges and protocols that confuse people.

Giving up on DeFi in ten minutes, haha. I know this very well; the terrible user experience really discourages a lot of people.

Did it run in ten minutes? Let's check on-chain the wallet address flow of this guy... But speaking of which, the Arbitrum approach is indeed impressive, but I'm more concerned about how their contract audit reports look, and whether there have been any changes in fund concentration data.

It ran in just ten minutes, this really made me laugh to death. Poor experience can truly crush all faith in seconds.

This ten-minute abandonment is actually very similar to the dilemma faced by early internet users with AOL. Complexity is essentially the enemy of adoption — not risk, but friction. What Arbitrum is doing is less of a technological breakthrough and more of an archaeological restoration on the UX level, transforming the complexity of crypto into usable everyday tools. Noise reduction equals value.

Honestly, it ran in 10 minutes... That's the truth... I was the same before; the UI was too complicated and directly discouraged me.

Honestly, I've given up after ten minutes quite a few times. To be honest, it's just that the UI is too complicated. Who wants to spend time figuring out this bunch of stuff?

Honestly, I've seen too many people give up in ten minutes. It's not cowardice, just being annoyed by that bunch of nonsense.
