The ultimate paradox of Web3 is staring us in the face: we repeatedly emphasize decentralization and respecting users, yet we are flooded with bot spam and fake data.

Some teams have decided to go against the grain and choose a more difficult path—building truly for real users. No virtual tricks.

How to do it? The core is actually simple: design the daily task system as a verification mechanism for genuine behavior. Don’t treat it as a cheap points game, but as a moat to distinguish real people from machines.

This way, there is flesh and blood behind the numbers:
✅ 250,000 monthly active users means 250,000 real people
✅ Every interaction is verified, leaving fake prosperity nowhere to hide

Sound complicated? Compared to zombie accounts and fake interactions everywhere, this trouble is nothing. To win in Web3, you need to show sincerity.

That's right, Web3 is so ironic these days—everyone talks about decentralization, but it's all just bots. Real data sounds simple in theory, but it's incredibly hard to implement, though someone truly dares to go all in. I really support the user verification mechanism; it's a million times better than a bunch of zombie accounts. Honestly, projects that achieve this are really rare; most are still stuck in the points scam routine.

No problem, right now the on-chain is just full of zombies running around. One word, do it. 250,000 real users are definitely more valuable than 2,500,000 fake accounts. This is the right path to take.

It sounds good, but how many can actually implement it? Most are just for the sake of making the funding data look good. If you ask me, this verification mechanism sounds ideal in theory, but in practice, the cost can discourage project teams from participating. The issue of bots spamming is fundamentally driven by利益, and penalties are not a concern. Verifying real people is fine, but the core issue is how to prevent the loss of new users. Decentralization has been touted for so long, and now we're relying on manual review? Doesn't anyone see the irony in this?
