After catching up on much what’s is here and links in the discord thread, I have some thoughts and I’ll use Nopey’s 3-layers: Adoption (protocol level, code), Advocacy (content level, zora/mirror/swag), Trust (people level, culture).
Adoption Level, I completely agree with nopey, we should avoid any kind of required fee to the safe. However, I think this is a fantastic opportunity to place a target for someone to develop a prize hook where a depositor could elect to contribute a portion of their prize to the Safe. I also think this is the place to flesh out a number of targets that could be viable for paying out of the Safe. Bot development until we have a robust bot environment, other prize hooks, vault creation if the community cannot build a vault, Farcaster Frame for deposit or delegation, a delegation app.
Advocacy Level, this is where we as a community have struggled imo. We have a lot of passionate people and a lot of Discord emoji-based culture, but we haven’t been able to bridge that into other avenues. Through leveraging Zora/Mirror/Pool Store/etc. we need to start bringing our PT culture onchain. Zora mints are an easy hurdle to jump and kickstart this, similar to what Based Management has going on, or looking at the current Degen movement. We need to bring Pooly with a message in an image format (a quick image below). A flappy bird NFT (Oops idea he mentioned to me last EthDenver), bringing back Pooldlers or an NFT that changes with deposits, delegations, etc. We need to encourage bringing our community culture onchain.
Trust Level, we excel at trust. We have a community that cares and that’s known in the cryptospheres. We need ways to message this to normies and new wallets. I think this is things we’re already doing, twitterspaces, podcast, our community being on other community calls and positioning PT. But all of these are active engagements, we need ways to show this in a passive way. I’m not sure what this looks like yet, but my intuition points towards partnerships. If someone is using a Rainbow wallet and they’re new to onchain life, having a PT modal in their app or a call out like they have to “Buy Ethereum” would be amazing. If we have a fiat onramp straight to deposit, having that everywhere. These are messages, images, partnerships contributors could work on and the community can reward.
