Consumer Crypto

seeing more consumer crypto products keep speculation and crypto mechanics out of the casual user experience and core value prop, but leverage it for the power user / power believer experience

few examples...

@focustree_app (on twitter) is a productivity product where you earn tiles for completing focus sessions that you use to build a personal digital garden. the rare pieces are nfts but you don't need to know that or care unless you want to trade / speculate on them. they're going viral on tiktok with no mention of the financial benefits of the product.

@pumppartyapp (on twitter) is a live gameshow platform where you compete in mini games to win prize pools (think a modern hqtrivia). they're focused on making the casual game inherently fun, cultural, and entertaining, while building more degenerate crypto-based game modes for people that want it.

think it's a good recipe for projects with mass market ambitions

Been using Focus Tree app for a week and already making a mental shopping list for the marketplace. Would love a ‘Save for Later’ feature though! Also messed around with a quick UI concept 👀
