Points defer price discovery, reduce claim-day cliffs, and align effort with time. They let teams iterate weights, punish obvious abuse, and reward late but meaningful contributions. Yet ambiguity invites speculation fatigue, secondary markets, and perception of moving goalposts. The fix is contract: publish a mapping envelope—supply ranges, utility scaffolding, vesting intent—then keep surprises within that envelope. Blend points with early, small token unlocks to prove good faith and bootstrap sinks. Points shine when they’re a ledger of merit, not a perpetual tease. Treat them like pre-equity with milestones and audits, and they outperform shotgun distributions in retention, fairness, and community morale.
