- I found that it wasn’t really that active, Imran was barely there, engaged, I mean, he’s a busy person, who isn’t? I guess his tribe is not worth it - I scrolled through the chat and saw that Imran also airdroped some tokens to his tribe? This seems like a fun feature that creators can take an advantage of. I was also able to download the members of these tribes, wallet-twitter combination, and I can airdrop stuff to them directly as well My 2 cents on the experience - Needs to be more simple, needs to be mobile first, and normies should be able to join easily - Prices should be regulated, they are just too high right now relative to the value they provide in terms of actual engagement in the tribe and chatting - Finding the tribes I want to join is just too hard, I don’t think users will go through the struggle to do it manually Anyhow, I created a Tribe to test it out in the following days, join here if you'd like: https://www.tribe.run/user/xAUniAJiLTuthDN5iWmRLU4mYUpALY7Mmh6Ui8V8y1F

I tried out @tribedotrun. Here’s my notes on the user experience: - It’s the rebirth of the gated chat + token pioneered by friend tech - The retro design on desktop is nostalgic, easy to understand as a web3 user, but far too complex for a web2 user. Needs more design iterations to get to that point - My first task as a user was: “How do I join the tribes, which are the best ones? The most active ones?” - There’s no feature or easy way to find out, so I browsed through the top ones until I found one which looked interested and kind of active, it was @imran's for me. I decided to join and pay the price, it was a hefty 1.6 SOL to join. Topping up the wallet was fast and easy, as well as transacting within the app - I think it’d be a good idea to give users a “preview” of the tribe before paying up the hefty prices, and also emphasize that you can always sell back your membership, in my case, for 1.15 SOL.

Not complex at all. If a restaurant is paid in FLY I’m pretty sure it auto converts to their preferred payment method in USD

$FLY or $F2? $F2 is the answer. It has a fixed supply. Investors and the team are on vesting schedules for $F2. The main demand lever is from future developers that will want to build using $FLY. It will probably also have a rev-share or buyback-burn mechanism. *They will adjust their token model as they learn along the way

$F2 - It’s the gas token for the Flynet L3, where all $FLY transactions happen, launching on @base - It has a 1B fixed supply - 50% will be airdropped to users and restaurants, the treasury will be 15%, and investors and the labs team will get 35% - Developers will be able to build on top of the $FLY ecosystem, and get grants from the treasury

$FLY - Blackbird labs controls emissions of $FLY, with an uncapped supply and emissions meant to keep the price stable - Restaurants receive $FLY to distribute to users as rewards, they may also sell back $FLY or buy $FLY at a set rate managed by Blackbird Labs - Users receive $FLY for rewards for checking in and using Blackbird Pay, they can buy $FLY at the set rate, and use their earn $FLY to pay - The token emissions are inflationary and managed by Blackbird Labs - As of Aug 2024, the emissions where 126M, and the original whitepaper scheduled emissions for the first three years at 500M - As of late, the current $FLY price is $0.01 USD, meaning 1.2M in rewards have been granted to network participants

BLACKBIRD @benleventhal is the cofounder of Resy, who got convinced by @fredwilson.eth to build his next endeavor onchain. Blackbird is just that As a user/diner, Blackbird is the only app you need. You can manage reservations, check-in when you get to the restaurant, and even split the bill and pay. Just pay and leave. Also, you will earn $FLY rewards for going to the restaurants. Users can pay with $FLY or regular credit cards. The more $FLY you use, the better LTV you have for restaurants Restaurants receive users, and get rewarded with $FLY proportional the users who check-in with them. The key unlock is that restaurants can They doing ~1M in user check-ins every month!!! Right now all transactions offchain, but soon, they will launch a L3 on base which will use the $F2 token as the gas token for transactions, abstracting crypto away from users Check out their TikTok account to learn more

Following my series of content on token models. Today it’s the turn of Blackbird Early last year, the $FLY token model was being praised as the epitetome of consumer focused token models. Since then, they have learned a lot (after being sybil attacked), and late last year, they released an updated token model flypaper. Lot's to learn from them. Let’s break it down

The Green Machine Their framework to build has six steps. Whenever someone is stuck, revisit the six steps: Staff great people Define success Think long term Build the thing and set feedback loops Execute with urgency and excellence Double down on what works Crypto companies lack this kind of process, adopt it to win

Make it Fun We’ve all seen Duo on socials. It’s unhinged, and it’s part of the company culture. “Humor doesn’t scale, it’s subjective, and often polarizing.” Most times, not everyone would get the joke, and that’s ok. Commit to the bit, and focus on those who loved it. There’s a lore on Duo Crypto has a dark humor twist, don’t overdo it, but leverage it

Show Don’t Tell First, “prototypes not decks”. It starts with a prototype that actual humans will use, not a deck laying out an abstract narrative “Metrics should be at the center of all our work.” This is how they decide if something belongs in the app In crypto everything is onchain. Get yourself a Dune dashboard and judge objectively

Ship It “Clock Speed” is the mindset. In microprocessing, it’s how fast a process goes. In Duolingo, it’s how fast the ship goes. How fast can feedback get implemented? They often run “99 bad ideas”, where teams brainstorm all the bad ideas, experiment with them, and find one that might be the next moonshot Crypto often involves long timelines, and cumbersome governance process. Cut them

Raise the bar Duolingo is going to be the best work in their careers. They built a shake to report feature for employees to report bugs and other feedback while testing seamlessly If someone doesn’t own it, it’s not going to be excellent. People ship V1s, and not MVPs. Everything is polished Luis and Severin still approve every hire Crypto talent is often elusive, remote, and sketchy. Get an office and ship

I read Duolingo’s Handbook so you don’t have to. Here’s the core principles, with crypto commentary: Take the long view “A 100 year brand”, if someone cloned Duolingo, they would come back for the characters. “We knew that building the best education app would be a multidecade effort”. Streaks has been years in the perfecting process They even built custom built a notification tool that PMs can use without engineering support to test them out They excel at high impact and low cost efforts,a a thoughtful balance of organic growth and marketing An early story was replacing the “tree” learning structure, with a “path”, even tough it was more restrictive, it helped lay the right foundations to users, and ended up being the right decision Few crypto companies build for the next 100 years
