Inspired by this tweet from Keone, I’m beginning to think why has no one built a crypto consumer questing reward targeting college students.

There were many similar platforms in web2 during my college days, and I believe they can be done more effectively with tokens.

Trying to write all these thoughts in under 30 minutes.Image

0/ Some thoughts and observations on Solana's Actions and Blinks: Image
1/ @solana is seeing explosive growth in retail adoption & new tokens in this cycle.

Sticking to their vision, Solana launched a new feature that enables any website or app to become a hub for on-chain interactions.

cc: @eli5_defi for the beautiful infographic. Image
2/ Simply put Blinks and Actions allow devs to turn onchain actions into a URL link sharable on the internet -- similar to Farcaster's frames that were launched a few months back.

Since the launch, Solana TPS has been hitting record highs. Image

0/ There are thousands of crypto protocols.

Only 12 have ever made $5M+

How? 🧵

1/ Context 📝

These are earnings, not fees or revenue.

Also not "net profit" -- considering salaries and other operational costs, the numbers will be significantly lower.

Let's break down their business models.
2/ @opensea - $850M

• 2.5% tx fees

OS charges 2.5% for every NFT sale

Nothing much to unpack, it's the oldest playbook. Any dominant marketplaces make money. More volume -> more $$$

At its peak, OS had a consistent $2B+ monthly volume.

That's $50M+/mo gross profit.
