As soon as you pay users to do something or introduce the expectation of financial return throw all your retention metrics out the window.

Agreed unless there is a cross/down stream service or solution they offer to another ‘customer type’ in your ecosystem that brings back revenue. This one popped back up in my mind recently from a @web3pm post last year.

if your only value prop for people to come use your product is getting paid or speculating in getting paid later in time - then the above is true always

unfortunately that's the case with most crypto protocols/apps, but doesn't to be that way

incentives -> user acquisition
product -> retention

Think what's needed are intrinsic incentives & not exit promoting primitives such as tokens. 

Working on stuff around vesting, slashing mechanics etc. to solve this.
