There's still a wide gap between slick consumer crypto UX prototype and day-to-day practicality.

e.g. Passkeys — amazing when they work on the happy path, but plenty of instances where they don't sync, don't work cross platform

Optimistic that the underlying infrastructure will continue to improve in the next 12-18 months. Hopefully in apps and well-tested by the next cycle.

Related: the single biggest UX blocker for most consumer apps that are hoping to "onboard normies" in the upcoming cycle is fiat-to-crypto onramp.

In-app purchases work for small $ and targeted use cases, but getting $100 in a wallet that's deeply integrated with the apps driving the core onchain behaviors is the actual hard thing.

On-ramps require KYC, which is a huge source of drop-off. Why Coinbase has such a big advantage with 100M+ KYC'd accounts.

I see what you mean! Labeling them as Rewards emphasizes the effort and engagement that contribute to the ecosystem, while airdrops often imply a more passive distribution. It’s important to recognize and incentivize the active contributions that help drive growth and development in the network!

I think @woj is right here

i don't label them as Airdrops though, rather Rewards (Airdrops are free money for doing nothing, whereas Rewards are for stuff like engagement and building things that contribute to the development and growth of the network)

-- but same sentiment

farcaster airdrop will open a new paradigm of airdrop👍 👍
