building a consumer product in crypto is so fucking hard

Hot take: Financial incentives are a red herring in how to build crypto products.
Theory: you will onboard users faster through greater incentives to interact with your app.
Actual: the wrong people (or worse, bots) will use your app while rewards exist, exhausting rewards, and totally dip afterwards.
Solutions:
- rewards which require work / dedication (if you perform X)
- disable bots from interacting with those functions
- what else?
