I initially thought that Dmail's positioning should meet a demand, and the envisioned scenario was attractive—registering and logging into your email without entering a username and password, just connecting your wallet. Using Web3 login methods to replace Web2 login methods seemed more convenient and user-friendly. However, after actual use, it didn't seem to be the case; it felt more complicated.

In the past, to send and receive emails, you just needed to remember your password. But to access Dmail, you must have a wallet plugin installed on your phone or computer and use the same wallet you registered with. If that wallet isn't on the device, you need to find the private key to import it. Some on-chain email transactions also require gas fees, and login speeds are slow, which is quite annoying. It's far less convenient than using traditional Web2 email. So, gradually, I stopped using it.

Therefore, the demand can't be assumed to be straightforward; otherwise, it might lead to false demands and wasted effort. Not all Web2 needs can be simply migrated to Web3. For example, with email, there are actually more than just Dmail trying to build Web3 email projects, but so far, none have been widely accepted.

Similarly, there's Web3 domain names, which also saw a rush and chaos. Today, even the leading ENS's main use seems to be just for showing off on Twitter, with little real use when it comes to transferring money. Other Web3 domain projects are even more useless—various registrations have been forgotten somewhere, with no investment value or practical use.

According to an official announcement, the decentralized email project Dmail Network will gradually cease all services starting May 15, 2026. Users need to export their emails and request account deletion before then; afterward, all data will be permanently deleted.

Ah, what a pity for my four-character email and a bunch of points. I can only say goodbye. $DOT
