In the world of blockchain, we often hear about scalability, interoperability, and tokenomics. But rarely do we hear something as deceptively simple (and useful) as “Grandma Ready.” That’s the term Douglas Horn, founder of the EASE Protocol, uses to describe the gold star standard for his newest project: a blockchain infrastructure so intuitive, so accessible, and so secure, your grandmother could use it.
In our latest episode, Douglas joined me to break down what that actually means — and why the future of blockchain adoption hinges on it.
Bridging Old Systems with New Tech
Imagine governments or financial institutions being able to interact with blockchain networks using familiar, standardized messaging - while still leveraging the transparency and programmability of smart contracts. That’s the kind of real world bridge EASE is building, and it could bring about enterprise and government adoption at a much faster pace.
Exponential Liquidity & Decentralized Compliance
Another standout topic in our conversation was Exponential Liquidity, a feature unique to EASE that enables deeper and more flexible on-chain capital dynamics, especially useful for real world asset (RWA) tokenization and DeFi ecosystems.
And if you’re wondering how a system like this balances decentralization with compliance, EASE has answers there too. With tools like sequestered encryption and discretionary compliance controls, EASE offers governments and institutions the ability to participate in blockchain ecosystems without sacrificing their regulatory responsibilities, and without compromising the decentralized values that define Web3.
Why “Grandma Ready” Isn’t a Joke
When Douglas says EASE is “designed to be grandma ready,” he’s not being flippant. He’s issuing a challenge to an industry that has been assuming users will adapt to technology, instead of building technology that adapts to users. With EASE, deploying a blockchain could be as simple as publishing a website. Writing a smart contract could be as easy as using Canva. That’s the goal.
Because if we want Web3 to truly change the world, it can’t just be for developers and crypto-native users. It has to work for everyone, especially the people who weren’t part of the internet’s first wave.
With the EASE Super App, no code tools, and a Layer 0 platform designed for scale, Douglas and his team are laying the foundation for a blockchain future that’s usable, compliant, and globally impactful. From smart cities to self sovereign finance, EASE is making Web3 real, one accessible tool at a time.
And yes, that means your grandma could be on chain before you know it.

But what makes EASE truly different is the blend of cutting-edge technology and human-centric design. From no-code smart contract deployment to integrated, formal banking standards, EASE is setting out to bridge the gap between Web3's promise and the usability people actually expect from modern apps.
