Forward: Your Gateway to Web3 Success in a No-Code Era
The new Web, Web3, continues to evolve, picking up new elements as it rolls down the hill, barreling toward full functionality. As usual, this process involves endless speculation about how the final product will look, among other fascinating subjects.
Early indications suggest that it will involve aspects of AI, metaverse, and blockchain technology, novelty ideas that are relatively in the early stages of development. Even with the uncertainty around these foundational innovations, it has not affected the enthusiasm of institutional and private investors, who are taking punts on finding the perfect project.
Forward’s templated solution bears some serious consideration for different reasons, primarily because of its potential for a sustainable business model and profitability.
Forward earned its moniker as the WordPress of Web3 because it is the project building a no-code blockchain adoption toolkit resembling the user-friendly environment of WordPress. However, it also maintains distinct differences that suit the influx of users expected to enter the Web3 space as it develops.
This article will explore the unique relationship between both projects, highlighting why Forward is projected to be a prize asset in portfolios.
The WordPress of Web3
Most investment strategies depend on finding diamonds in the rough, and Forward, in its earliest days in a developing Web3 space, looks like one.
Forward’s status as the WordPress of Web3 quickly comes to mind. WordPress gained a head of steam when it became the go-to solution for private bloggers to host their websites on the internet, and it has not looked back since. Currently, it has grown to become a market worth three-quarters (0.7) of a trillion dollars, even with its limitations as a website design ecosystem.
In Forward’s case, it removes the barriers (technical, financial, and knowledge) that traditionally limit Web3 participation and innovation.
In the current blockchain landscape, most business owners find the technology inaccessible, often requiring significant investment in development. Forward’s solution aims to change this, making blockchain technology as easy to use as WordPress made it to use Web2.
While WordPress uses its famous plugins, Forward favors a model adapted for Web3 with dApp templates (front end, admin panel, and smart contracts) that make both platforms the ultimate facilitators of ‘plug-and-play’ functionality.
It is important to highlight that in Forward’s case, it is not limited to websites. It is an all-purpose gateway to Web3, providing the infrastructure to migrate entire web2 systems to Web3 seamlessly. Hence, as the sector matures in the coming decades, the potential for market expansion is exponential compared to its Web2 counterpart.
The unique relationship between both projects perfectly sets up Forward’s early supporters for a ride equivalent to WordPress’ rally to the top of the Web2 epoch.
Leading The Race for Market Shares
After generating $596.7 billion in 2020, the WordPress ecosystem recorded $636 billion in 2021. Currently, it powers about 43.4% of all active websites and controls about 65.1% of CMS market shares.
WordPress’ success as a content management system stems from its ability to simplify the onboarding process. It also highlights the demand for no-code, drag-and-drop deployment platforms, even in the Web3 space.
As the Web3 space grows, there is a gaping void that needs to be filled by equivalents of CMSs, and Forward already has a headstart to claiming prime real estate in that regard. It even takes it a step further as a platform not limited to supporting dApps, by providing an array of blockchain infrastructure (blockchain and subnet deployments) to facilitate global businesses transitioning to web3.
Building upon the templated solutions model that WordPress helped popularize, Forward has a unique opportunity to claim market dominance with its dApp templates that facilitate no-code blockchain deployment for users, even without any technical knowledge requirement.
Collaborating, Not Competing
One of WordPress’ major competitive advantages as a CMS is its open-source nature, allowing developers and well-meaning participants to contribute to the continued growth of its ecosystem.
This inherent value and flexibility are some of the reasons why organizations with the resources to develop in-house solutions prefer platforms like WordPress. The list of global brands using WordPress includes The White House, Vogue, The Walt Disney Company, BBC America, Facebook Newsroom, TIME Magazine, Zoom, Tech Crunch, Sony Music, Spotify Newsroom, Samsung News, and many more.
Forward maintains a similarity in this regard, which is pivotal to its ability to adapt to the changing demands of a developing Web3 market as the migration from Web2 occurs. Its suitability will even continue to grow with the addition of dApp templates to the Marketplace, encouraging new generations of developers and Web3 users to build on the existing framework that has already proven to be effective.
Even when Web3 goes mainstream and big brands make the inevitable migration, the value of a platform like Forward remains a no-brainer. As long as it is a conversation about value, it does not matter — small businesses or global giants, value always wins.
Something to Look Forward to
Sometimes, the solution unveils itself when innovation breaks new ground. On other occasions, it comes by perfecting a method that works, and Forward has set an early indicator that it is the framework to follow in Web3.
Forward’s model shares crucial similarities to WordPress’ templated solutions with adaptations that make it perfect for the developing Web3 space for different reasons. While the similarities make a bullish case, the distinctions make a clearer statement about Forward’s potential in the evolution of the ‘new web’.
As the evolution continues and speculation heightens, innovations like Forward that present a unique solution based on proven systems and custom adaptations deserve serious consideration.
