3. What are you currently working on? 

@perl is the Onchain Disney Land that looks like a social arcade at the moment. I've only been building social apps, and would love to ramp up the 'social' part of @perl once we nail the PMF. 

I experiment a lot. /cheesecoin /69ism /ritual are some examples.

4. How'd you get your first 10 users? 

@peter and i are big fans of building gtm in parallel with the actual app. the moment we decided to build @perl i set up /perl and built up the waitlist before launch. 

when @peter dropped the first MVP as a frame app, we leveraged the waitlist to launch into the scene wilding.
