#### Web2 Mode

Use for applications that don't require blockchain interaction.

* Internal tools and analytics

#### Web3 Mode

Use for applications that interact with the blockchain.

Best for:

* Wallet integration and management
* Token creation and SPL token support
* Smart contract deployment
* NFT minting and collections
* DeFi interfaces and swap execution
* On-chain data and transaction history

#### Combining Both

The real leverage comes from combining Web2 and Web3 in the same application.

Example: A DeFi dashboard that uses Supabase for user accounts and preferences (Web2) while connecting to Solana for live portfolio data and swap execution (Web3).

Always specify which layers you need in your prompt.
