thirdweb is a pretty easy way to get started if you’re an experienced web developer. we use them internally at our web3 dev education startup for creating and sending nfts to folks who complete our tutorials.
we have a tutorial with them going on where we show you how to build a full stack web3 app with their sdks/platform. we’re rewarding folks who complete the tutorial with a bit of $MATIC and a cool nft[1]
another cool resource after you get your feet wet is this collection of tiny examples of popular web3 apps[2]

What do you actually want?
If you want decentralization look at WebRTC. https://webrtc.org/
If you want crypto you have to guess at what resources are valid.
Just keep in mind the only commonality in crypto is blockchain, which is a distributed form of third party storage. Crypto will not get you decentralization.
I don’t know if this is the answer you’re looking for because it’s not tied to a cryptocurrency but take a look at nostr: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr
It’s a protocol that allows nodes to gossip event messages amongst each other. The event relays can be used as a backend to provide data to your web/desktop/mobile apps.
I'm one of the founders of thirdweb, our goal is to make it super easy to develop web3 apps. We've started by providing a foundational set of smart contracts, SDKs in JS, python, go, unity, (more coming) and a dashboard so you can manage your contracts, teams, permissions easily.
The main feature of our platform is you own the contracts (we don't have access to them), your wallet deploys it and is effectively the same as if you wrote the code underneath. Our core platform is all on chain so you don't rely on us to be around for your apps to continue to run.
There's a lot we want to get to in the next few months: analytics, bring your own contracts and other chains like solana / flow.
Generally in the web3 space here's the projects/tools i found super helpful:
