Warpcast onboarding flow as of August 1, 2024 I've seen an uptick in casts talking about improving onboarding for non-crypto-people. So here's a live onboarding I just did. I'd say it's pretty close to any web2 experience with the exception of upfront payment. You'll notice: 1. Minimal crypto UX — we use in-app purchases and Passkeys 2. The majority of onboarding interests used to populate the initial algo feed are non-crypto. 3. Since we no longer do initial follows, the initial feed nudges new users to follow more people. (Remember, the number one reason people churn is not enough content in their feed.) 4. Aside: crypto people don't sync contact book but non-crypto people do (because every other social app does this). However, that means the new people don't immediately find people they know the network.

I think it's necessary, for example; here we aren't able to buy warps using the link to pay for someone's invite.

POV: A lot of Middle Easterners rarely use credit cards. >> Low confidence in the banking system. <<

Every iOS user is required to have a valid payment method to be able to use the App Store. And most Android users have one as well.

Agreed. But speaking of Lebanon, for example, the ratio of people who have a credit card is at most 1 in 10. Everyone had a credit card before the economic crisis happened; now it's considered unnecessary.

Perhaps, but it seems not just in Lebanon. @duraa.eth just mentioned the same thing happening in Egypt. And Ako said that happened within Turkey. So this may be regional.

Don't forget in Lebanon there is financial crisis and the credit cards are limited, not the same one as egypt or turkey! No sanctions their! In lebanon the geopolitical issues affect highly on everything
