Marek Olszewski mobilization While stating that it would be a critical step for the company, he made the following statements in his statement on the subject:
While an estimated 6.9 billion people, or 86% of the world’s population, own a smartphone, access to desktop computers is much less common. Mobile phones allow ordinary people to take technology one step further – which is why making web3 more universally accessible to a mainstream audience requires creating mobile-first experiences. Once we successfully transition to Layer 2, our mobile-first approach that we have implemented since our founding will further help users become embedded with access and efficiency in mind.
