We’re starting to see tokens change the way consumers interact with the products that they use.

What crypto wallets do you primarily use (multiple selection)?

1. MetaMask
2. Phantom
3. Rainbow
4. Ledger
5. Coinbase Wallet

Is anyone building on Metamask Snaps?
Do you keep up with Discord for Web3/crypto communities you're in?

1. Yes - Check regularly
2. Yes - Check occasionally
3. No - Don't keep up
Has anyone seen stats on Instagram NFTs?

I feel it's not working b/c of 1) poor audience fit & 2) lack of native product functionality

But would be curious if any data 🙏
Each technological wave has spawned new social apps, from desktop-native Facebook to mobile-first Snapchat.

Web3 enables a decentralized, open model where users own their identity, data + content.
