Even Etherfi is waking up and going after the consumer opportunity... in this case, a neobank for their ecosystem whales. And it's working wonders There's a recently launch venture fund, with a broad mandate, and then the restaking It's great to see leadership teams move fast and rebuild https://x.com/capradavis/status/1944865049350467900

Still thinking about this shift: For years we funded what looked like growth Now we’re funding what looks like a business If you missed it, here’s how we’re thinking about the revenue meta: https://paragraph.com/@socialgraphventures/the-revenue-meta-is-here-and-its-reshaping-consumer-crypto

What’s the most overbuilt feature you’ve seen in consumer crypto? I’ll start: complex time-locking staking mechanisms no user actually understands

Revenue, margins, retention, repeat usage All of them, alongside product thinking and grit, are the evals we use for consumer founders

I used to chase growth charts. But after seeing founders cook their metrics one too many times, I now ask: Who are your top 3 customers? How much do they engage (and pay)? Why are they coming back? It frames the conversation around what actually matters: repeatable usage

I used to lean too hard on metrics. Still do, sometimes But the more founders I meet, the more I realize that the strongest signal is how they think, speak, and move Qualitative insight is harder to measure. That’s why it matters

Been coming back to @dau It’s not just about earning a few cents It’s the subtle loop: complete tasks, engage onchain, bump into others doing the same Feels like a primitive version of onchain social gameplay

Cycle Snaps from this week at @socialgraphvc: 1/ A Telegram ads analytics platform we’ve tracked is evolving into infra. Wallet-based targeting across TG, and growing 2/ Some wallet neobanks are doubling down on privacy, but we think the real wedge is embedded UX and GTM. Every consumer app will have a wallet baked in 3/ Met a team aggregating your TikTok, Spotify, and X data into an interest graph, recommending people to meet and sites to visit. Feels like the future of social for nerds 4/ Pump ICO feels inevitably big. Obscure token models aside, leaning into content as an engagement multiplier is what will get them there Consumer crypto’s still full of weird edge bets, and we’re into it

Telegram Ads are still in the stone age. - No real targeting - No channel discovery - Manual entry for *every* placement Despite 500M DAUs, their ad stack feels like 2012. Someone will figure it out

Ambitious founders don’t just have big ideas They make you feel like it's already happened, and you're catching up We lean in when it feels like that

This slide from Coatue got me thinking on crypto Which tokens are doing 100M+ in annual rev + growing >25% + profitable? JTO, AAVE, SKY, MKR — these should have 10x+ multiples
