Anon mode won’t be available. To use the app, you’ll need to link a phone number. This helps us keep spam out and makes sure everyone is real. One phone number = one account.

To cut spam, Degen app will require phone verification: 1 number = 1 account. We don’t get your identity—just proof you’re real. No anon mode for now. If you’re ok with this, lmk. If not, suggest better ways to verify. We want your input.

This post and a lot of the responses to comments on this posts sounds, to me, very similar to "Claude chat box" responses I have read. The short, direct "requirements" with the repeated "don't worry this isn't for..." and persistent pestering for personal information. I immediately think that is exactly what it is for.
