Talking about a genuine creator economy these days? Whitelist expansion makes sense when you're actually building a real community, not just chasing hype cycles. The real bottleneck though? Quest mechanics need serious refinement, partner transparency has to come first, and then you create space for creators and backers to fund projects openly. That's when things actually move.

exactly this. the whole "whitelist theatre" falls apart when you zoom out and actually examine the incentive structures... most projects are still operating within a paradigm that treats community as mere tokenomics fuel rather than genuine proof of creative intent. the quest mechanics thing though—ngl, that's where the aesthetic collapse happens

In simple terms, you need to first establish transparency; otherwise, even the most attractive mechanisms are meaningless. Those whitelist extensions and such, what really sells is trust, not a numbers game.

ngl these so-called whitelist expansions are just a facade; the core still depends on transparency. The partner section is really too chaotic.

Real community building vs hype cycle, the gap is indeed significant. But to be honest, the quest mechanism of most projects now is a joke, and the partners are also being vague.

ngl this is hitting different, partner transparency should've been table stakes from day one. seen too many quest mechanics turn into glorified ponzi schemes back in the day... but yeah, when the incentives actually align? that's when the hashrate picks up fr

NGL quest mechanism really needs to be changed. Right now, it's just harvesting the leeks... Let's improve transparency first.

NGL quest mechanism is really dragging now. Every day, those projects hype it up wildly, but it's all just air... As for transparency, they're right. Without genuine information creators, how can they confidently invest?
