One Week of @betrmint: A Recap

Today marks 1 full week of running BETRMINT rounds (time flies when you’re having fun!), so I wanted to take a moment to reflect, share metrics, & talk about how the experiment is going so far.

Overall, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from all sides — players say the game is sticky, aesthetic, & fun; creators have been thrilled to see their content amplified & make meaningful onchain revenue; and token partners are loving the eyeballs, hype & distribution. 

A rare win-win-win-win arrangement? 

Cracking open the mini app dev dashboard, here’s what we’ve seen after just 7 days:

- 2,100 new followers on @betrmint (starting from 0!)
- 4,954 unique users, with 4,501 adding the mini app + nearly all enabling notifications
- Over 36K (!!) app opens across just 4 rounds
- 2,735 transactions in ETH or USDC on @base
- 5,693 total mints for our featured creators (@rachelw, @gmfarcaster and @0xl)
- Over 1 ETH earned in creator rewards via @pods

Cementing more partnerships like this — where token projects feature their tokens in BETRMINT rounds — will be the key bottleneck to solve for scaling (+ finding great creators who want to feature content.)

That said, I think the value proposition is pretty strong:

Many memecoins and protocols have treasury tokens from LP rewards or allocations. By partnering with BETRMINT, they can Midas touch their tokens — extracting real value in the form of attention, community growth, and distribution without having to sell into the open market and hurt their ecosystems.

Anecdotally, our first featured token $RUNNER ran up ~30% on the day it was featured (thank you @darkoh.eth.) Yesterday, $VEIL rose ~5% and topped @tomu’s Farcaster mind share leaderboard. Early signs are very encouraging.

A few things we’re improving right now:

- Adding an in-app leaderboard to track spins, shares, and $BETR holdings for a future BETRBOMB 💣 Community airdrop 👀 
- Implementing some subtle UX upgrades based on community feedback
- Building out a way to easily consume and mint featured content even after the round ends
- Experiments in using $BETR to get  [REDACTED]


What we need from the purple app community:

- More honest feedback on what’s working (and what’s not)
- Ideas for new features that would make the app even more fun and sticky
- Connections to creators and token projects who might want to partner
- Install the mini app and try it out during our next round tomorrow afternoon if you haven’t (link below) 
- Tell your friends lmao 

Thank you again for the overwhelming support during this first week of onchain experimentation maxing. 

We’re just getting started, so just keep spinning!

Add the mini app and try it out tomorrow!

And here’s a little video of the game in action if you haven’t been able to play yet!

If I had to pick one thing I’m most proud of, it’s this: We’ve been able to generate real, meaningful onchain revenue for creators. That’s not easy to do in this space (I should know) and it’s the heart of why @netnose and I started @betrmint in the first place.

We also inked our first longer-term partnership this week — a three-way agreement between BETRMINT, @rachelw, and $VEIL token:

For the next 8 Mondays, Rachel’s podcast episodes will debut onchain via BETRMINT, boosted with a share of $10,000 worth of $VEIL contributed by @apex777.eth 
(Who says no real business gets done at Farcon?)

Such a great marketing tool and experience.

We don’t want to abuse our notification privileges haha. Feels like 2 per game might be overkill 😅

It’s great but I keep missing on the game. I need like a notification in advance of the notification 📣

@betrmint is super Based! Kudos to you and your team!🫡💜

Who said real business transactions don't happen on Farcaster?

Also, the whole report is just impressive.

I'm excited to scope this.. my work schedule has had me sideways 😩
