“Before you sell your product to users, you have to sell it to the sales.” — @thecryptoskanda, co-founder of @Hertzflow_xyz, on why mechanism design alone isn’t enough to find PMF in crypto. He argues that in finance, the mechanism is often the product — the rules that determine how value, risk and incentives are distributed. But even the best-designed mechanism still needs distribution. If the people distributing it don’t see the value, they won’t sell it — and the product may never reach its end users. So the design principle is two-sided: 1) A mechanism that works for users 2) An incentive structure that works for distribution “This is the lifelong challenge for everyone building in crypto.” From The Convergence: Bhutan by YZi Labs.

The @base apac team sat down with Chinese KOLs for a few hours listening to feedback and suggestions on how we can do better in the Asia region. There's a lot of work to be done, and we're very thankful for the honest feedback that keeps us grounded and shows us how work still has to be done. 很感谢 @connectfarm1 @KuiGas @thecryptoskanda 老师们的反馈与教导。我们将努力把这些建议转化为实际行动。 Stay based 🟦
