"The real goal should be to onboard as many net-new users as possible." Nothing else matters.
If you're building a new blockchain, the most important thing today isn’t speed, dev experience, the VM, or decentralization. It’s whether you can build and bring distribution to the apps built on top. The real goal should be to onboard as many net-new users as possible. Most chains today just recycle the same users with short-term incentives, driven by the need to show fast growth to investors and token holders. Onboarding net-new users means playing a long game. It means building growth loops that compound slowly. Worldcoin’s in-person onboarding is one example that might pay off. If you're a founder choosing a chain, today the question to ask is what chain can bring as many net-new users to your product. Nothing else matters (grants, airdrops or token deals).
