Important question: why is a project positioned as “X-to-earn” versus earning being a part of their GTM distribution/user acquisition model It’d be like saying a project is a paid-ads startup

I don’t think “red flag” as much as probably a caution flag; requiring for an absolute need to DYOR. We’ve seen that there are some good projects out there with relatively success x-to-earn models. Just need more good actors imho.

If the person is actually doing something net-beneficial to support the network (e.g. liquidity mining to earn) vs. purely extractive, I think it has a chance to work. If its walk to earn, then its DOA

Most loyalty programs are X-to-earn. They just don't use that nomenclature.

Work-to-earn or lend-to-earn seem to work 😉 Play-to-earn could work if the “work” is masked as “play.” The caveat being that work still has to be work. See: duolingo
