1/ What is Psychological Attachment? It's when users feel an emotional connection that goes beyond the product. It's when a product represents something more meaningful in a users's life. This is the key to user loyalty, retention, and advocacy.

3/ Users have a greater sense of psychological ownership when they’ve invested time, energy, effort, or money. Offering a sense of agency over a product can also create a sense of connection, through creation, customization, and expression of preferences.

4/ Familiarity also inspires feelings of ownership, as users develop a connection with the product. The alignment between the product’s attributes and the user’s self-concept can foster greater psychological ownership and users gravitate to branding that match their self-image.

5/ Web2 companies have done an awesome job at building such psychological attachment, and they did so without providing users verifiable ownership over their digital value. How can the use of blockchain-base digital assets provide an alternative paradygm?

6/ Blockchains introduce new dynamics to psychological ownership, allowing users to opt out and carry their value across composable platforms. Through digital assets, digitial ownership is verifiably assigned to users and enforced cryptographically on a blockchain.

7/ But to foster psychological ownership, product incentives should be contingent on users taking actions that reinforce attachment and build engagement habits, rather than just rewarding users for performing certain economically-driven activities.

8/ If creators and products can engender a sense of psychological ownership among their users, it could mean turning a speculative and mercenary user base into an engaged community that is long-term oriented and places disproportionate value on their relationship to the creator.

9/ With Web3 being an opt-out system, and users assigning greate value to our digital assets, applications will need to tap into psychological ownership to provide greater value.
