Web3 represents the next phase of the internet, characterized by decentralization, user ownership and equitable value distribution. Like all new technologies, its success depends on addressing market needs and understanding user challenges. However, many Web3 initiatives have missed achieving a product-market fit, often adopting a “build it and they will come” approach. This mindset has been harmful, especially during market downturns. While the core principles of product-market fit (PMF) remain consistent, their application in the Web3 context has evolved.

Competition, new rules crimp resolution professionals’ fees
NEW DELHI : Average fees charged by resolution professionals (RPs) and other consultants involved in insolvency and bankruptcy have declined by as much 70% during the past two years due to competition among professionals and tightening of rules by regulators, market participants said. Back in 2017, when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) published the ‘dirty dozen’ list of 12 large accounts against which the newly introduced Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) would be used, the consultants were charging as much as ₹1-2 crore for each case.

How Will States Pay for Roads When Gas Taxes Evaporate?
Back in 2001, seven years before Tesla introduced its electric-powered Roadster and a dozen years before the more affordable Chevrolet Spark EV went on sale, lawmakers in Oregon recognized that the adoption of EVs and hybrids would eventually mean less revenue from the state’s gas tax, which would mean less money to pay for roads and bridges. So they formed a committee to study the problem. After considering a tire tax, a battery tax and numerous other options, the committee concluded that Oregonians should be charged based on how many miles they drive.
