Tom Nash and Alexander Ramsey are the founders of Flex Dapps, a web3 development studio based in Melbourne, Australia. I met Tom and Alex at ETHNewYork in May 2019, where they won a prize in the hackathon, for a liquidity generating DeFi app featuring CryptoKitties. They have a flair for creating web3 apps with easier and more enjoyable UX. Better to use on mobile and solving for the common friction points of using dapps, like owning crypto in advance, and requiring knowledge and experience. As anyone in web3 will tell you, UX design and user acquisition are the big issues when talking about bringing cryptocurrencies to the world.
