2. Who to distribute ownership to (making sure you are distributing ownership to those that create the most value)

Defensibility in web2 comes from proprietary data network effects. Each application is a walled garden, and a bigger user base translates into more utility vs. competitors.  The social network with most data, content, users, etc. is more valuable.

And if nearly the entire audience who is playing the game is only there to make money, as soon as the earning possibilities go away so too does the audience, and then the game rapidly falls apart.

StepN isn't a P2E. It's a social fitness app. Different user demographic.  Running is a perpetual activity for those who wish to keep themselves fit.  Hence, StepN's base players are more sticky compared to other games.

In web3, the situation is different.  New marketplaces can aggregate all existing NFTs. New social networks can surface all on-chain activities regardless of whether users ever signed up. How can a moat develop?  A potential answer is tokens.

Social tokens have shown their efficiency to incentivize individuals to share their skills with others. Well-designed incentives are more than crucial as they can make your project tremendously grow. Social Tokens are best used when they scale or incentivize coordination and engagement between community members. Incentives are ideal when it's mutua... See more

1. How the community can participate towards meaningful objectives for the network (give tokens for work to be done)

Blockchains charge a monetary fee to the users proportional to the computational burden the nodes must verify. Thus, on this monolithic stack, the computation cost is quite high. Developers have been forced to write their code around such constraints, not being able to express the true potential of on-chain applications.

With these market conditions come implicit assumptions around the future state of crypto. For builders and investors to meet expectations over the next 5-10 years, how much market cap creation will we need to see? How much institutional capital will need to enter the space to support these assets? Where might institutions allocate? How can both bui... See more
