Degen

Quick Degen app update 👇

After many conversations with you, two things keep coming up: phone verification and rewards. I agree — we need a rewards system that feels fair and actually helps grow the app. This could mean rewarding you for bringing in others, variations of tip allowances, or even view-based rewards. We are still exploring what makes the most sense.

Phone verification has to stay — it’s the only real way to keep rewards meaningful and avoid farming. The vault is too confusing, but simpler systems with clear limits could work better. I know you want to reward people you like and earn too — and we can get there.

Big thanks to @yekim for grinding through this idea maze with me. Appreciate all of you—keep the feedback coming 🙏

why couldn’t we also adopt the reddit reward and upvote system

Farcaster likes are basically Reddit upvotes, and Reddit awards are kinda like tipping with $DEGEN. So we’re already close! Curious what part of Reddit’s system you’re thinking we should adopt?
