We need a proper app store for mobile crypto apps Apple doesn’t allow most to get approved and the take a large cut of any in-app purchases This really limits the awareness and visibility of the app builders we have in crypto which really hurts any chance at growth

I'm down to jam on this. Few things that come to mind: - What does a crypto app store look like? How could it help distribution? - Do crypto apps just need more awareness/visibility? - Do crypto apps try to force too many new behaviors from consumers/users?

really good questions. my thesis is that the app store was a device centric phenomenon and the internet, being as large and mostly open as it is, will need to be mined for all these new consumer-ready experiences for the "world computer." consumers will expect that any net new social client will surface these applications in context (e.g. 10 of your friends recently used 0x1234). like crypto the game. we already do this today for tokens, why not contracts/programs/apps? the new app tax is swap fees/transaction fees/sequencer fees (Farcaster going to a sequencer model, for example).

Problem with this view is that not everyone uses the same social client or social network as their main social app I think the device centric phenomenon worked bc nearly everyone used the same device / operating system (in the US) Everything you're saying only applies to existing crypto users whereas I think crypto apps should be shown somewhere that gives visibility to both current crypto users and potentially new crypto users
