How to Develop a WEB3 Mobile Application?
// Web 3.0
This article will give instructions on how to develop a WEB3 application. It will provide examples and detail on defining the project’s targets, preparing technical documentation, determining the functions, designing the UX/UI interface, and selecting the technology stack. Also, it will touch upon what is a WEB3 application and its difference from typical ones.
WEB3 (Web 3.0) is a general term for various technologies that will significantly change the internet in the following ten years. It is expected that the WEB3 Internet applications will be decentralized and will use virtual and augmented reality. Also, it will understand the communication on the internet. In other words, 2D websites and texts will become three-dimensional, the search engines will give more relevant results, and the Internet users will have the power instead of the national corporations.
WEB3 applications are pieces of software that use one of the WEB3 technologies, i.e., blockchain for decentralization, artificial intelligence, neural learning, Big Data, VR/AR, dimensional interfaces, and distributed computing.

Unlike WEB2 applications like Medium, Facebook, Microsoft Word, WhatsApp, Netflix, or PayPal, WEB3 applications do not have a centralized server or a centralized database that stores information about the users and application. Instead, the technology employs a blockchain for crowdsourcing the public server, which the P2P anonymous nodes support (anonymous internet users).
Furthermore, blockchain technology allows employing smart contracts for inner business logic automatization.

Developing a WEB3 solution requires custom development since it is the only way to provide decent security and reliability for your product. Furthermore, an experienced development team with high expertise in cybersecurity must take over the assignment, like Merehead. Since 2015 we have worked on Blockchain, DeFi, NFT, and VR/AR projects.

Any IT-startup development, including WEB3 mobile applications, starts with defining the idea of your project. At this stage, you and the development team meet online or offline to clarify all details of the future WEB3 solution, including the business aims you want to reach and the requirements for the design and functionality.
As a result of this stage, you must have the following:
Furthermore, the initial stage requires documents from the development team that we stated below:
The second stage of a mobile application with WEB3 solutions involves creating a software document or technical specification. It is a development manual for the upcoming product that explains the business logic, including everything from defining the technologies employed to deadlines, budget, and even risks.
Typically, the product developer provides the technical documentation according to the project’s report given by the client. However, the client might do the technical documentation. To make the technical document, the developer requires:
Developing the WEB3 solution prototype is one of the most crucial development stages since the interface design defines the entire project's success. If the users do not like the interface or find it complicated and confusing, they will delete the application and never use your product. Also, they might leave negative feedback.
To avoid it, your development team must study the competitors and the target audience to understand the tastes and requirements of the users and implement it according to the technical documentation of the project and trends in design. Typically, the process takes three stages.
When the design development is ready, you will have:
Second, you can start developing the complete WEB3 application that has all functions, integrations, and design solutions. This is a solution for product launches in a competitive market with product analogs. It requires a quality product and details equal to or better than the competitors. This is the only way to attract users.
Despite your choice, the developers of the WEB3 application will need to develop the following:
Frontend. This is the part of your WEB3 solution which the user will interact with. For instance, for a cryptocurrency wallet, the developers use the following technologies and development tools (technology stack):
Here is the publishing process for these stores:
Post-launch support is not mandatory. But it is strictly recommended if you intend to improve and develop your project. You can set up the support work either through an internal team or by agreeing with your application developer. However, the latter option is not always possible because the developers can be transferred to work on the other projects. Therefore, you need to agree on support in advance, and then the developers will either move to long-term work with your project or train a particular team in advance.

The cost of implementing WEB3-solutions and other IT projects depends on their complexity and scale. Therefore, it is impossible to say in advance what the development budget of your specific mobile application should be. Here we will only give an approximate cost of cryptocurrency wallet development for the U.S., Western, and Eastern Europe.
