Hm.
You already have 10k users…serve them better and layer in rewards for actions like referrals, transactions, and retention.
But if we’re speaking more broadly:
Tie the wallet to a high-value use case, distribute it where attention is underpriced, and build loops that reward usage and referrals so growth compounds.
Practically:
-Give users a clear reason to switch (a unique value or outcome).
Attach the wallet to a real economic need…not just web3 activity (e.g. stablecoin usage for payments, savings, or remittances in developing markets like Nigeria).
-Go beyond ct for distribution (web2 creators, new audiences)
-Incentivize real activity, not just signups (cashback, points, referrals)
-Position it as a “wallet for something specific,” not just another wallet
Or…
Put up a $1m reward for the first user, company, agency, or brand that brings you to 100k users. Then gamify it…launch a public leaderboard and take it beyond web3.
Let web2 folks have fun.
We’ve missed that.
Note: Retaining those 100k users is where your use case and value proposition come in.
This is actually interesting timing.
Because there are founders already building what you’re describing…just not in the format most vcs are used to.
@BitsaveProtocol’s Bizmarket is one of them.
They’re already:
-funding real businesses
-running short credit cycles
-generating yield from actual economic activity
The issue isn’t “does it work”
It’s that demand > liquidity right now.
Feels less like a “fund my idea” case
and more like capital hasn’t caught up to the model yet.
Given Avalanche’s push around rwas and real-world financial rails, this feels very aligned.
@DominicCarb worth a look imo.
Funny thing, I’m not even affiliated with the team.
Just came across them recently and their model took me back.
I remember fumbling a pitch to you sometime in 2023 when we had a video call.
So I thought… why not point you to a team that actually pushed through on one of my ideas (the seed) and made it work.
