Are Web3 apps under scrutiny?

cointelegraph.com:

The rise of Web3 apps, or decentralized applications (dApps), has been nothing short of a journey in recent years. From blockchain-based social media platforms to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the Web3 ecosystem has definitely started moving in a positive direction.

However, as great as the positives are, there have been some bumps on the road and they don’t seem to be going away anytime soon. With the recent restrictions imposed by some of the biggest tech companies, the future of Web3 apps has come under scrutiny and is making the process of launching on the app stores more difficult than anticipated. Not to worry, emerging Web3 companies are savvy and quick to adapt feedback. 

One of the biggest challenges Web3 apps are facing is the difficulty of reaching a wider audience. For example, Apple’s App Store has a strict policy that only allows apps that meet its guidelines to be listed, which is more than fair, but sadly as a result, this has made it difficult for Web3 developers to get their apps in front of iOS users, limiting their growth potential. Let’s not skip past the fact that the App Store also provides added layers of trust just by having the app on there.

Furthermore, some of the most innovative and exciting Web3 apps have been banned from app stores altogether due to security reasons. This has caused huge frustration among Web3 developers, who see these restrictions as a roadblock to their growth.

MetaMask, one of the most popular Ethereum-based DeFi wallets, is an example. They found themselves being removed from the Google Play Store due to concerns that it could be used to access decentralized financial services and is a security risk. This was in 2019 and has since been resolved, but similar issues are still
