Consumer Crypto

Eventually serious consumer apps (especially social ones) will have to lean into contacts, there’s a reason why it’s the good standard

We just have to move past the privacy-obsessed anon phase + most of the people in users’ contacts don’t care about crypto yet (they don’t really have a reason too tbh)

I also think it makes a difference whether you can share it with your friends, just with random internet strangers or nobody actually.

That said, aside the quick share with friends buttons, I truly believe having a shared channel or chatbox with other pro-users discussing different modes of play, strategy &or to share feedback and get help as newcomer should be a big unlock. Here, you also get a nice interplay of onboarding users to social media and from social media to your app & retaining them better.

If it’s a social app for friends I do (many of them aren’t for friends anymore)

If you look at the top social apps over the past few years, almost all of them lean heavily on contact import and very good friend-finding

Do you often import contacts? I think the only time I did was Snapchat
