the problem with these "fun" crypto apps and games is the desperation for monetization.

every game has the minimum of a game mechanic, followed up quickly by "claim your $COIN and invite your friends and deposit your funds and get your rewards!"

this exposes the inherent flaw in crypto as a "community." It's a financial instrument. The most fun that money can be is in a casino.

the most interesting crypto apps are either entirely nonfinancial (like Dark Forest--but tbh in those cases the justification for running them onchain is thin) or interesting non-self-referential financial mechanics (like prediction markets)

Same old, same old.

Eventually the "benefit" needs to stop being "get paid to X!"
