man I’ve been staring at this thing for like an hour and I still don’t know if I like it or if it’s just another crypto idea that sounds smarter than it actually is…
like… part of me is like yeah finally someone is trying to fix that whole mess with proofs and airdrops and all that… because honestly it’s been dumb for a while… every project making you do the same stuff again and again like you’re filling out forms at some government office, just onchain version of it
and the whole “reuse the proof instead of doing it again” thing… yeah that just feels right, like why wasn’t it already like this… it’s like having to prove you exist every single time you open a new app, makes no sense
but then I keep thinking… ok but who decides what that proof even means
and that’s where it starts getting a bit off
because if some system becomes the standard, then whoever’s defining those credentials basically decides what counts and what doesn’t… and I know crypto people will say “nah it’s decentralized” but come on… stuff always ends up clustering around a few big players, it always does
and tying it to token distribution… yeah that’s clever, can’t lie… because nobody actually cares about credentials until there’s money involved… the second you say “this decides if you get tokens” everyone suddenly pays attention
but also… that’s exactly where things get messy again
because airdrops are already a game, like a literal game… people farm, bot, do whatever… so now if you make it more structured, are you fixing it or just making the game harder… like instead of spamming wallets people will just optimize for whatever signals matter
same problem, different skin
and I keep going back to this reuse idea… sounds efficient, yeah… but also kinda sticky… like what if your wallet gets tagged a certain way and that just follows you everywhere… good or bad… that’s kinda heavy if you think about it
like having a label you can’t fully control… idk, feels weird
also the “global infrastructure” thing… I always pause at that… not saying it’s fake, just… it’s a big claim… like really big… crypto loves big claims though, we’ve seen that movie a hundred times
but I get why they’re aiming there, because this isn’t just a crypto issue… even outside crypto everything around identity and proof is fragmented as hell… so yeah if something actually connects that properly it’s huge
but then again… crypto has tried to “fix everything” before and most of it just ends up being one more tool nobody fully agrees on
and then there’s the token… I always feel weird about that part, not gonna lie
like I get it, incentives, ecosystem, whatever… but it also turns everything into a price narrative… so now instead of just building something useful, everything becomes “is this bullish or not”… and that messes with how people see the project
like you can’t separate the product from the market noise anymore
I guess where I’m at is… the idea actually makes sense, which is rare lol… like it’s not solving a fake problem, this stuff is actually broken right now
but at the same time… I don’t trust it fully either
because this kind of system only works if people trust it enough to rely on it, and trust in crypto is weird… it’s not just code, it’s who ends up having influence, who issues what, how it’s used later… all that stuff
and I can’t tell yet if this becomes like real infrastructure people depend on… or just another layer people use for a bit and then move on
it’s like… it could quietly become important… or it could just get gamed to death like everything else
honestly feels like watching someone try to organize a chaotic room… either they actually fix it or they just move the mess into nicer boxes
not sure which one this is yet 😅
