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 will actually make me skip this app.  

Why does spam matter when you are eliminating tips anyway?

This.Tipping is own money now, there's no farm.

I just don’t think the choice is between phone/OTP and chatting with 1 dude and 10 sock puppets.

You’re eliminating tips.  If there’s nothing to farm there are no sock puppets.

Anyways obviously you know what you want to build, I’m just giving feedback to share my perspective.

reason is phone + OTP is just the easiest way to onboard + log in. Also, we’d rather have 1 account per person. better vibes chatting with real ppl than 1 dude with 10 sock puppets accounts.
