Common Issues in Web3 SocialFi/Payments

  • “Earn-only, don’t spend”: Few sustainable consumption scenes; token demand side remains thin.

  • Unsustainable incentives: High-inflation/subsidy cycles collapse once incentives recede.

  • Sybil & fake activity: Bots/farmers drain budgets; “true contributors” are hard to separate.

  • Fragmented UX: Wallets, gas, bridges, and siloed modules break the loop.

  • Merchant missing link: Lack of reliable clearing/compliance/risk makes the final spend hop immature.
