- How FriendTech's $148 Million Volume & 4.1 Million Transactions Benefitted an Entire Ecosystem. π
Onchain Value Accrual: THE MOST important concept in web3, that nobody is talking about.
Let's go π
Context:
- FriendTech takes 5% of total trading volume occurring on its app
- Creators on FT take 5% of total trading volume too
- FriendTech pays fees to Base in order for transactions to be executed
- Base pays Ethereum to settle the transactions
- From the fees, Ethereum burns $ETH and pays its validators ($ETH stakers).
- Base pays a 15% fee to Optimism for using its OP Stack
Here's how much $$$ each party made from the total trading volume ($148 million) that happened on FriendTech so far:
FriendTech = $7,400,000
FT Creators = $7,400,000
Base (Revenue) = $736,000
Ethereum (holders and stakers) = $254,000
Optimism = $72,000
Base (Net Profit) = $482,000
What's the key takeaway?
It doesn't matter which apps achieve the greatest success onchain.
Value will always flow to the blockchains (execution layer and settlement layer) the apps are built on.
It's why onchain value accrual is such a powerful concept.
As millions of apps will be built onchain over the coming decade, the underlying tech (blockchains) & the investors who allocate in the right places will reap the most rewards. π°
If you want to be successful & capitalize on the growth of web3, you need to understand this concept!
- Onchain is the next online
- Now thatβs a big gm
Whoβs saying it back today?
- I need some good podcasts for a couple flights tomorrow.
Anyone have any recos?
Thanks ππΌ
- Whoβs going to be in Austin for @permissionlessintern.lens next week?
- Anyone else not get notifications on @orbapp.lens when people like/comment on posts?
I only get notifications for follows π€·π»ββοΈ
- There is currently $2.5B in stablecoins on Layer2s
This number will easily 10x in the next year
The fees associated with stablecoin transactions will generate millions of $$ to L2s and $ETH
Most people arenβt understanding how bullish this non speculative use case is for $ETH
- Thereβs alot of hate on my feed between Solana and Polygon communities.
Why do we chose to tear people (or technologies) down?
We should all be happy when anyone in web3 succeeds
Letβs focus on growing the pie, not fighting for the tiny pie that exists today

What am I missing?
- Does anyone have a flight test code they can share with me?
- Hot take:
LTV is a vanity metric that means very little in crypto
Blockchains earn revenue from transactions, not value locked.
Doesnβt matter if those txns are <null or null million, fees are the same
Itβs all about money being moved from one place to another.

- **Phase 3 of Web3 Academy 2.0.**
We've partnered with @paragraph.lens to officially become a web3 newsletter.
**All of our newsletter content will now be powered by web3 tech**, on Paragraph.
We're walking the talk, and so should you. Here's why π
As of today, we've officially moved our content over to Paragraph.
**The goal:** to provide you with web3 features and experiences not possible on web2 platforms like Substack or Beehiiv.
First thing on the agenda: collecting newsletters!
There's now a button in all our articles called **'Collect',**
By clicking it, you get to **OWN** that piece as an NFT, and it'll cost you **ZERO dollars!**
Now why do you care about owning an article?
You probably don't, but that's not the point.
**Collecting articles is a form of commemorating actions.**
With the first newsletter we launched on Paragraph, we get to see who was here and took action (collected) from the beginning.
If you'll collect it, we'll see you. π
And because you've done this on an immutable ledger (the blockchain), we will forever know that you supported us early on.
This enables us to reward our loyal collectors long into the future.
So now, you know what to do...
Collect our first post on Paragraph. π

- As we spend more time online and in digital worlds, more people will understand the importance of digital ownership
Digital Ownership = Digital Rights
We don't want to live in a world w/o rights
We've already learned that in the physical world
It's time to migrate on-chain
- Using @orbapp.lens for the first time. Wow this is a much better way to use Lens!
The interoperability of the Lens ecosystem is one of the coolest things happening in web3 right now.

- GM #web3commmunity
One of the biggest questions about community building is how can we motivate the members to engage and participate. the answer is to tap into your members intrinsic motivation... but what does that mean? π€
Intrinsic motivation vs extrinsic motivation
A π§΅π
1 - Intrinsic motivation is internal and is typically what we call drive. Daniel Pink described this in his homonym book, as being the intersection of purpose (why), autonomy (what) and mastery (how).
2 - Extrinsic motivation taps into the external signs of accomplishment, like badges and trophies, that end up not having long term value, unless they're tied to internal motivation.
3 - Web3 is, by definition, permissionless, trustless and has values of self-sovereignty, which adds to the autonomy piece of this puzzle, and it introduces the possibility of ownership which adds to the community members' feeling of mastery. π community π€ web3
4 - @web3academy_ is hosting a 8 week mastermind around community building. If that spikes your curiosity, hop into the discord today, Nov 29, at 9PM UTC / 4PM EST and share your thoughts!
