All for making crypto apps easier to onboard to and all, but it’s important to remember that abstractions have costs. Any kind of vendor lock-in at the wallet / account level is a losing strategy in the long term. https://x.com/0xmakesy/status/1909258082414133268

i wasn’t familiar with the hot-start problem before, but it kind of validates our choice to avoid launching a token for /farville - especially since there's already active supply-side participation. as this quote puts it: “apps and marketplaces that launch token incentives for active jobs to be done – usage, gameplay, gig work, services, etc – must take extra steps to ensure that token rewards are going towards organic usage and driving important metrics like engagement and retention.” in other words: tokens don’t always fix early-stage problems - and if misused, they can even make them worse.

Most succinct way I've ever seen someone put it: "When should a token be launched? 1. A daily active behavior exists 2. Retention curve flattens 3. The app has at least one repeatable economic action worth taking a cut on"

Speculation is the hook. Behavior is the habit. most consumer crypto apps never make it past the hook. few reasons: funding issue, tokens launch too soon, retention is an afterthought more thoughts: https://paragraph.com/@pit/behavior-greater-token

Would you pay 15$ extra to put a QR code on your cool new sweater IF you got 5$ for every referral that signed up through your Code and a chance to win some extra prizes? Referrals work. Gamification is just getting Started. Likely we‘ll see „free“ promoters going Crazy with the right incentive Mechanisms.

in the past year, @tyhunnny has onboarded and retained more mainstream users to crypto with @tyb than any other app — and its users don't even realize (or care) that its crypto. what she's building and what she's accomplished deserves a longer piece (which i'll write), but some highlights: - onboarded celeb brands like selena gomez, blake lively and paris hilton in addition to brands iwth cult-followings like glossier - brands seeing 25% MoM community growth or +5k new community members each month with ~30+% members engaging daily to earn rewards - $13.1M (yes million, via Shopify) spent on physical goods from real brands by users on @tyb - and these brands are using metrics from TYB in their BOARD MEETINGS bullish on Ty and her "community commerce" revolution bearish on crypto twitter for paying no attention to it

protocols are such an important layer on the internet. the idea that you can build anything on top of it and plug into an existing distribution network is so powerful.

two critical properties that make tokens compelling: 1) connection to a movement people want to participate in, or 2) connection to a product people intuitively want to own —ideally both @jesse + @pridesai

the simplest bull case for farcaster is that we’ll need an app-native feed as software becomes content, vibecoding becomes the new posting, and the number of applications being released 1000x's

what are the best examples of apps which drove net new consumer behavior? along a related thread was Clubhouse which piggybacked off of chatrooms but in a new form. Driving net new consumer behavior is quite a hard task to undertake.
