# A Self-Hosted Future

Businesses, individuals, and communities want to participate in the web3 space, but do not have the technical capabilities to do so. These technical barriers to entry prevent new users from entering the space which results in missed opportunities for all parties involved.\
\
Alongside this, most of the public has still not been exposed to NFTs through their mutual networks. It’s something they see or read online. Traditional web2 businesses don’t have the necessary tools at their disposal to test new digital products and experiment with NFTs. In addition to this, there is a trust issue & learning process with consumers needing to buy NFTs from third-party vendors like Opensea and connect wallets via third parties.\
\
In order for businesses, creators, or communities to launch new NFTs there is a cemented process that everyone currently follows.

1. Create the NFTs
2. Deploy the NFTs on the blockchain
3. Funnel leads to third-party marketplaces so they can purchase your NFTs
