To be honest, I'm feeling a bit ashamed.
I'm also one of the early adopters.
I've been caught up with my own stuff lately, so I haven't really explored many features, and I didn't provide timely feedback when I ran into issues. I landed a pretty rare position, but I haven't left the team with much useful info.
I've wrapped up my newbie tasks, and the progress is 1350/1350.
My total score is currently 1795EXP.
The numbers don’t look empty, but when I open my profile, there are only 5 Meows, 1 follower, and I haven't put much effort into the bio or content.
I checked out other traders; some have their profiles all set up, some have racked up dozens of followers, and others are posting content daily, chatting, testing features, and giving timely feedback to the team.
Now the weekly leaderboard has reached 4300 EXP at the top, and the overall highest has soared to 18635 EXP.
It seems I’ve missed out on more than just points.
A project willing to give Beta qualifications to early users carries an inherent trust.
What the team needs isn't just people coming in to complete tasks; they also need real people to use, chat, discover problems, and tell them what's smooth, what's awkward, and what still needs improvement.
In this regard, I admit I haven't done enough before.
I used to see some very short Meows in the public area and occasionally wondered if someone was just completing their daily tasks.
After all, completing 5 posts, likes, or replies per day can earn you 200 EXP; completing 5 chats gets you another 200 EXP.
With tasks, some simple content is inevitable.
But looking at it from a different angle today, I actually think these seemingly immature contents have their own significance.
At least they are genuinely using it.
Some people post Meow, some comment, some test tipping, some discuss OP_CAT, and others just chat about the day's events.
The content might be a bit shallow, but when people are talking in the public area, it indicates real people have been here. For a social product still in Beta, such voices are very important.
It feels a bit like early Baidu Tieba.
The page isn't that polished yet, and there aren't that many people. Everyone posts one by one and replies layer by layer, discussing tech, work, interests, and life.
A bit old-fashioned, yet nostalgic.
You’ll feel that this place hasn’t been fully arranged by a mature recommendation algorithm yet; many relationships genuinely start from a single reply or a discussion.
This is also where I slowly started to understand Meow.
On the surface, it looks a bit like a social circle, Binance Square, or other content communities, but the connection method is different behind the scenes.
According to @clawchatglobal's product definition, the release, likes, comments, and retweets of Meow will be recorded on @op_catlayer.
The account is directly linked to the wallet.
This means that writing down valuable content here allows others not only to like and comment but also to directly tip you on-chain.
I previously posted a Meow and later received a tip from the official team. The amount wasn't the point; what left a deep impression was that moment when I knew my content was truly seen.
The project team sees people experiencing it and is willing to provide feedback and recognition in the most direct ways within the product.
I’ve seen other instructors receive tips multiple times too.
At least this shows that the team is indeed reading the content everyone is posting and encouraging those who are seriously engaging and expressing themselves.
On traditional Web2 platforms, content feedback often comes more from views, recommendations, and ad revenue.
But in ClawChat, a comment with insights can directly receive responses between wallets.
The distance is short, and it's very real.
Of course, Meow isn't mature enough yet to directly answer what kinds of content are best suited here.
On this point, I don't have a standard answer myself.
Maybe it's the progress of OP_CAT, maybe it's the real experience of BTC's native applications, maybe it's an interesting meme, or perhaps just a regular user's honest feelings after using the product.
Answers won't just drop from an intro.
It requires everyone to post more, chat more, and experience more, gradually figuring out what kind of expressions fit here. So, managing the Meow account shouldn't just be about tallying up daily interactions.
If others see you multiple times and still don't know what you usually follow, believe in, or can bring to the table, this account might only leave behind task records.
Next, I want to manage my account properly.
Continue to follow the developments and seriously experience the OP_CAT ecosystem and BTC native social.
Official updates are certainly worth watching.
But I want to clarify what a feature actually solves, what problems ordinary users might face, and whether there's a gap between it and how it's described in promotions.
The same goes for comments.
Instead of just leaving a comment like 'I’m bullish' or 'early days', it’s better to ask a specific question and add a real case.
Because in on-chain social, what you’ve posted, who you’ve had serious discussions with, and why others are willing to respond to you will gradually piece together the identity of this account.
ClawChat is still in its early testing phase.
The rules will continue to adjust, and the interface will be updated. EXP is the current incentive unit and shouldn't be directly equated with confirmed token earnings.
Leaving a trace on-chain also means that speaking needs to be more cautious.
Unverified information, emotional attacks, and personal privacy should all be thought through before being sent out.
But I still really like this early feeling.
There aren't many people yet, and many things haven't solidified. Everyone gathers based on their interests to discuss crypto, tech, the market, and some light everyday topics.
Slowly, a circle has familiar names.
Behind a name, there’s a relatively clear interest, expression, and relationships.
It's a bit like building a small home on-chain.
As for me, I hope that in the future, when people see Domingo_gou, they'll think this person is willing to explain complex on-chain products in a way that's understandable and approachable for regular folks.
This article today also counts as a late early experience feedback for myself.
If three months later, others can only remember your Meow account with one word, what do you hope that word will be?
