most crypto rewards are designed like vending machines. you show up, you put a token in, you push a button, you get a different token out the interaction is discrete, mercenary, and infinitely vulnerable to AI the solution is easy: just make payout less instantaneous

after my last post, seems like ppl have no idea how to scale customer support after founder DMs your user base is most likely a pyramid, and as you scale up you need to serve high value users v differently to average joes low-ltv: serve with public docs, community forums, and autoresponder bots. the goal is self-service at scale mid-ltv: offer ticketed support with clear expectations whether it's discord or elsewhere (e.g. 24-hour response). the goal is reliable resolution high-ltv: give them a dedicated tg/email, direct connection to team if possible. the goal is to retain and upsell users netting you 4-5 figure MRR shouldn't have to trawl through your discord, their problems are your problems

two ways to distribute ownership in a network. the lottery ticket: - a single, high-stakes event. - rewards past, often arbitrary, actions. - creates a short-term frenzy of mercenaries gaming metrics. - the community is a crowd that gathers for the draw, then disperses. the salary: - a continuous, predictable flow of value. - rewards present and future contribution. - cultivates a long-term base of committed users. - the community is an organization of co-builders. one creates a spike. the other creates a culture

the crypto market is a constant battle between two opposing forces the sell-side (the project team): - their job is to sell a story. - they are compensated on narrative momentum and token price appreciation. - their primary tool is hype the buy-side (the investor): - their job is to find value. - they are compensated on long-term, risk-adjusted returns. - their primary tool is diligence. understanding which side is driving the market at any given moment explains almost everything

not sure if i'm the only one who sees it but there's a trend in defi post hyperliquid around the gamification of risk teams are designing points systems where getting liquidated is more profitable than actually using the product to win. users are rewarded for reckless behavior because it generates activity metrics that look good on paper and outsized revenue for the team just let people buy your token folks, it's not that deep

crypto community incentive models, ranked from least to most effective for long-term retention: 1. static airdrops. rewards past action with a one-time event. This creates a transactional relationship focused on a single payday. mercenary af. 2. seasonal points. rewards activity over a defined period. this is an improvement, as it requires sustained effort and you can iterate. however, token and price impacts are still rough. 3. vested rewards. aligns incentives over a longer time horizon by unlocking value gradually and giving options to self-select into categories. this is the strongest model of the three, as it helps you reward users with long-term conviction the most. the ultimate model is continuous, real-time rewards. iterate and align incentives every second, not just once
