The best consumer apps in crypto are the ones that don’t feel like crypto at all.
@focustree_app just proved it again: they onboarded 1M students onchain on Starknet, most of whom have zero idea they’re even using blockchain. And that’s exactly the point.
Starknet’s Native Account Abstraction lets builders hide every layer of complexity:
- No gas fees with AVNU’s paymaster
- No pop-ups thanks to Session Keys
- Seamless onboarding with invisible wallets
If you are building a consumer app, Starknet is definitely the best place to do it.
Focus Tree just delivered the proof. Onwards to 10M.
We've just crossed 1M+ students onboarded on @Starknet 🎉
Reaching this milestone is an amazing first step, but now we're ready for Phase 2:
Transforming these onboarded students into active users who rely on Starknet as their primary financial ledger 🔥
Ztarknet in action
There are two real blockers for privacy adoption:
1️⃣ scale
2️⃣ UX
Well, ladies and gentlemen - meet the Ztarknet Paymaster, powered by @avnu_fi
Ztarknet solves (1). The Paymaster solves (2).
Live for a year now - quietly powering over 15.5M transactions, 1M+ users, 50+ integrations.
for the zmart ones who want to, you know, improve their god damn product 👇
Privacy doesn't scale itself.
Focus Tree is built on Ethereum.
@focustree_app is a productivity app on @Starknet that helps students stay on task with web3-powered focus sessions.
The app combines timers, communities, and digital rewards, to make productivity open, social, and user-owned.
This is a big deal.
9GAG is one of the OG meme sites and a longtime home of internet culture, with over 200m users.
Now any viral meme from 9GAG is automatically tokenized on Solana, powered by Moonit 🔥
🚨 Gas UX on Starknet just changed. Forever. 🚨
Introducing the Starknet Paymaster - an open-source, production-ready, developer-first way to abstract gas fees.

→ Accept any token for gas

Focus Tree: The @Starknet App That Actually… Works?
Earlier today, I had a quick exchange with @abdelstark
He mentioned @focustree_app in a thread about decentralization and real users, claiming it’s "one of the few crypto apps with actual product-market fit."
I rolled my eyes 👀
But something stuck. So I did what any normal, emotionally stable crypto person would do:
I opened 17 tabs and started digging.
Here’s what I found - and why I’m still thinking about it.
--------------------------------
🌱 It’s not a crypto app. It’s a focus app that just happens to be onchain.
Focus Tree isn’t promising yield, governance, or "modular intent-based consensus rollups."
It’s a simple productivity app where you:
- block distractions (TikTok, Insta, whatever)
- start a focus session
- grow a digital tree
- earn tiles
- and do it with friends
It runs on Starknet.
But most users don’t know or care.
--------------------------------
📈 The numbers? Shockingly legit.
- 500,000+ Android downloads
- 4.5 ★ rating with 15k+ reviews
- 4.7 ★ on iOS from non-crypto humans
- 110,000+ weekly active users
- TikTok campaigns dropped CPI from $11.50 → $0.10
- 450k+ smart contract interactions (Dune verified)

Not your usual "5 wallets and a multisig" project.
--------------------------------
🤝 Most users aren’t crypto-native. And that’s the point.
One thing @abdelstark emphasized:
"These users are not in crypto. They’re using Focus Tree because it helps them."
That part hit.
In a space obsessed with incentivized usage, it’s refreshing to see users onboarded through need, not greed. No airdrop bait. No leaderboard manipulation. Just people trying to stay focused.
Web3 infra is invisible.
UX is familiar.
And that’s the magic.
--------------------------------
🔁 The loop works.
The game loop is addictive in the best way:
- Start a session
- Earn tiles
- Grow your own tree
- Compare it with your friends
- Trade decorations
- Repeat
It taps into something primitive: competitive self-improvement.
But friendly. Green. Cozy.
Honestly? I get it.
--------------------------------
⚙️ Under the hood? Smart contract interactions.
Everything’s onchain - you just don’t notice.
Users interact with Starknet contracts without needing to bridge, hold $ETH, or touch gas.
The wallet is abstracted. The pain is gone.
And yes, the usage is real:
453,949 unique smart contract interactions.
No token.
No "soon™".
Just focus.
--------------------------------
🔍 So what makes Focus Tree special?
In a world full of crypto products shouting into the void, Focus Tree quietly… works.
It’s not loud. It’s not VC-optimized. It doesn’t pretend to be saving the world.
It’s just useful. And sticky. And kind of wholesome.
It competes with Headspace, Forest, and other mobile apps - not with DeFi or GameFi nonsense.
It’s one of the few dapps I’ve seen that could go mainstream without explaining what crypto even is.
--------------------------------
🧘♂️ My honest takeaway?
I went in thinking: "This is probably just another short-lived farmable toy."
But now?
I actually want to try it.
Not for points.
Not for tokens.
Because maybe - just maybe - it’s one of the rare cases where Web3 got out of the way and let a product speak for itself.
And if you’ve ever rage-quit Twitter to do something productive...
Well.
You might like it too.
Thanks @abdelstark for the push.
You were right.
Sometimes the signal hides in the trees.
