Mini Apps

A common pattern in the World ecosystem that hasn't quite taken off yet on Farcaster is a token per app with daily claims. Eggs is probably closest. Curious to better understand why.

a twist on this model for skill based games: distribute a daily token rewards pool proportional to some result (e.g. top 100 MiniWord solvers earn 300 - time in seconds tokens)

do you do a liquidity pool or a bonding curve to make it liquid? or neither?

if you spend any amount of time playing around with consumer apps, you will recognize there are endless pseudocurrencies used to drive engagement and retention:

coins in Duolingo, Reddit karma, TikTok gifts, robux in Roblox, gold bars in Candy Crush, bits in Twitch, stars on IG, etc.

almost all of these can be bought with fiat.

a few of these let you cash out as a user (e.g. creators can redeem tiktok gifts for  or cash out robux via devex).

and none of them natively allow peer-to-peer trading of their pseudocurrencies.

and people love them and buy and spend them daily.

why you make it so complicated !!

no one really cares about the $$ they just care that it’s a “reward” and can be exchanged for some in app thing

the language training app - something’s wrong with it and it’s not just the need for text instructions it’s something more fundamental.

2 45s vocal language classes a day, play anytime you want mini games, sundays you get feedback from a trainer. curriculum constantly adapts to your level and needs.

i will make the duolingo of fc with in game non tangible currency that allows in app customization just help me figure out the damn UX, https://warpcast.com/jc4p/0x9d694b7e help meeeeeeeee
