Friction filters bots but also filters patience. The art is asymmetry: make low-effort botting expensive while keeping genuine exploration delightful. Use progressive profiling, contextual help, and safety rails. Replace rote grinds with puzzles that teach primitives users will reuse. Subsidize critical path gas, and let users choose among equivalent tasks to match skills and hardware. Difficulty should feel like a challenge worth beating, not a hazing ritual. When tasks teach, users stay; when they punish, they churn.
