Why Crypto? Your Understanding of Web3 and Where It's Headed

Question

Why are you interested in the crypto/Web3 space, and where do you believe it will be in 5 years?

CoinSwitch context

CoinSwitch operates in a highly regulated, fast-moving space. They want engineers who are genuinely curious about the technology and the mission, not just looking for a pay bump.

What this round evaluates

• Authentic interest in blockchain, DeFi, or crypto as a technology
• Awareness of the Indian regulatory landscape (SEBI, RBI, VDA tax framework)
• Pragmatism vs idealism — can you separate genuine use cases from hype?

Strong answer signals

• You've used a crypto product, understood its technical underpinnings, or studied consensus mechanisms
• You have an informed view on where India specifically is headed (CBDC, regulated exchanges, Web3 gaming)
• You acknowledge risks (volatility, regulation, UX friction) honestly

Tip

Don't just say "it's the future of finance." Have a specific thesis.
