X post from @beandip, who may know more about airdrops than anyone else in the space.

change my mind:

current one-click mint frames are just airdrops, not value drivers.

their distribution is just another flavor of TVL, not LTV.

and if airdrops don’t “work”, why should we expect one-click mint frames to?

Farcaster and therefore frames are top of funnel. Retention doesn’t happen at this layer. 

Companies need a strategy for that.

Yep like this is great for Zora. But Zora did the hard work of building a brand, product, protocol first. 

Same for Base.

i agree 100%.

this is a warning to founders or creators who are publicly assuming top of funnel distribution = retention.

the distribution #s are mostly a testament to farcaster’s success, not anyone else’s :). there are clear exceptions to this rule, mainly those who have strong brand value.
