Mini Apps

Looking at the miniapp leaderboard, I wonder if farming mechanics are really essential to driving engagement numbers in this stage of the market

product @seedclub. we built @crowdfund. i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com.

Ethereum builder & people connector. Juicebox, Revnet, Defifa & Footy App

bc so many of the consistent top apps have farming mechanics

Me slow. Because you see apps with farming mechanics or because you see so many without the mechanic

farville is about farming, but real farming ahah not token farming :)

kind of different to me!

Eggs team knows exactly they're doing to keep spot #1 and stay there. Being #1 compounds growth via visibility and "legitimacy". If I were coming for the #1 spot here's what I'd do based on what they've done:

- daily money dispenser mechanic = daily usage. spoiler alert: ppl like free money!
- if you want the #1 spot you need TXs
- simple one-click TXs are king. More clicks = more dropoff.

Warpslot feels like it could also compete for spot #1. BUT... they airdrop the tokens to you vs making you transact for them. Better for simplicity, arguably bad for rankings/distribution. And Eggs team has better mastery of notifications + sharing. 

what else do you think contributes to their #1 spot?

For the time being I do think there's a "playbook" for claiming the top spots. here's my take:

Happened with FB dev platform in the beginning too (ex: FarmVille, Restaurant City, Pet Society).

Idle games are a great as low commitment hooks to build user habits on a new platform.

TBD if it’s retentive over time.

Farming mechanics are really essential to driving engagement numbers in *any* stage of the market
