When I took over the product, the hardest question was not what to build. It was why anyone should deposit at all:
Every yield product in crypto competes on the same axis. A number goes up slightly faster than the number next door.
Nobody wakes up excited about 6%.
Meanwhile people spend around $400 billion a year worldwide on lottery tickets, which return nothing on average and are gone the second you scratch them.
So the thrill is clearly worth paying for. People just pay for it in the worst possible way, by handing over the principal.
We drew the map: excitement on one axis, whether your deposit survives on the other.
Three corners were crowded. The top right one was empty.
That is the whole thesis behind Lingo:
→ Deposit base:0xfb42da273158b0f642f59f2ba7cc1d5457481677, keep it, get it back in full when your lock ends
→ The deposit buys you Mystery Boxes and raffle entries instead of a yield number
→ Winners take Rolexes and cash, losers take their tokens home
$500,000+ paid out so far and not one person has lost their deposit doing it.
We did not invent prize linked savings. The UK has done it since 1956. We made it programmable and made the prizes worth showing up for.
Building in an empty corner is slower than copying a crowded one. It is also the only way you end up owning a category.
Savings accounts are safe and boring.
Lottery tickets and memecoins are fun until they aren't.
The top right corner was empty.
$500,000+ paid out; zero people lost their tokens.
