# Why Current Solutions Fail

Despite strong progress in Web3 and Web2, large-scale adoption remains limited because of:

1. **Low interoperability**

Assets and data are trapped in isolated platforms, making it hard to move value or state between apps and chains.

2. **Missing critical participants**

Most ecosystems are broad but shallow: they lack banks, custodians, registries, brokers, and regulators needed to close the full transaction loop.

3. **Weak data transparency**

There are few transparent, verified sources of asset data, ownership records, and transaction flows, which erodes institutional trust.

4. **Compliance gaps**

Trust, transparency, and regulatory controls are not embedded in the infrastructure, so regulated participants cannot engage at scale.

5. **Crypto-centric settlement**

Payment legs rely mainly on non-fiat assets and do not match real world settlement requirements and banking rails.

6. **Bad UX and incentives**

User journeys and economic incentives are not designed for issuers, brokers, and institutional investors, which blocks adoption for RWAs, especially real estate.

7. **No intelligent automation layer**
