the problems with Discord from a web3 product designer's perspective
- centralised and controlled by web2 megacorp
- hundreds of thousands of "users", few of them active
- convoluted UI, hard to track notifications, very gamer-core
- hard to keep track across dozens of servers and hundreds of channels
- no meaningful social layer to increase engagement and target actions across servers
- no native onchain integrations (only bots, or rather apps as they now call them)
- no cross-group discovery and coordination, every server is by itself (incompatible with web3 ecosystems)
- servers have no shared bank account, can't easily pool and distribute funds, can't easily receive grants as a project (main funding mechanic across web3)
- no way to do crypto native actions easily, mint, swap, trade, bridge
- no simple way to use crypto native profiles such as farcaster, lens, ens, universal profiles, gitcoin passport and more
- which means no way to leverage reputation
- no encryption, lots of exploits & bots 0 reply

I tested the UX of this, it's quite solid! Users are given an embedded wallet, joining a community gives you an NFT membership key. the embedded wallet meant i didnt have to do anything.
as a member of communities, you are given questionnaires and little challenges (basically bounties). once you submit, after a manual review by the brand managers, you are rewarded in coins
you earn onchain coins while interacting with brands, and then you can redeem those coins for monetary coupons to buy things
very good, very clever (many people are obsessed with beauty brands), and the crypto of it is abstracted away so anyone can use it, earn NFTs, earn real money, and redeem coupons for real value, without knowing anything about crypto
oh and the design is on point
much to learn here for many (most) crypto companies if they want to ever grow beyond the crypto audience 2 replies
