Some compelling research on the topic of onchain points, incentives, quests and blockchain loyalty programs published by a close friend and former colleague, @JosephALChami.
Congratulations on publishing, Joseph! 👏
25 Mar 2025
In early 2024, a new blockchain launched their quest system.
1.2M users showed up. 80M quests were completed.
It looked successful...
Until 93.5% of users vanished after the airdrop with a negative retention rate: -0.183%
But after adding token rewards, RR rose slightly to 0.59% (still very low).
What’s behind this user behaviour?
Our research paper, accepted at FC workshop, is the first to deeply analyze onchain quests and loyalty, aiming to answer exactly that.

Security, reporting, coverage, data, and integrations are all important factors to assess for selecting a Staking Provider. ☑️
Along with these metrics, it's important to control for luck & compare on an equal basis. 🎰

Purchasing slashing cover is a risk management best practice for a staker to further reduce loss associated with a double-sign event, should one ever occur.
30 Aug 2023
We are thrilled to announce a collaboration with @InsurAce_io to offer Ethereum Slashing Cover, a product designed to protect customers from validator double sign slashing risks. 🤝
By offering access to Ethereum Slashing Cover, we aim to strengthen stakers confidence and drive further adoption of $ETH staking. ⚙️

Purchasing cover is worthwhile, even with Figment being a best-in-class staking provider with a SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified control environment.
Affordable coverage is an effective way to stay protected!🛡️

With optionality on our minds, @Figment_io has collaborated with @InsurAce_io to offer Figment's $ETH customers access to more double-sign slashing coverage.
With InsurAce's offering, stakers can purchase 1 to 32 ETH of cover per validator, giving customers more flexibility.

This past weekend, I volunteered for a bereavement camp for children who recently lost a loved one.
The unfortunate reality is that there are ample resources for adults who a grieving from loss, but far fewer for children.

If you know of a child that recently lost a loved one, I encourage you to suggest to their guardian(s) to look for similar resources in their local communities.

Over the 5 years I've volunteered for this camp, I've seen first-hand how impactful an experience like this can be for these children.

With the #ftx fiasco, it's expected that customers of any centralized platform will start demanding proof of reserves (and potentially even some form of proof of liabilities).
1
23 Nov 2022
#staking is a transparent and auditable way for these centralized platforms to earn a reward rate while maintaining a full-reserve (i.e. not lending out or gambling customer funds).

23 Nov 2022
As transparency becomes a primary focus for customers, staking will become the evident choice for any #exchange and #custodian.

Being part of the core team to come up with @liquid_col Coverage Program has been a privilege.
Slashing coverage, especially for ETH, is an important consideration for stakers.

Ethereum, with its correlated slashing mechanic, is one of the networks with the least forgiving slashing penalties.
Post-bellatrix upgrade, slashing penalties have increased on the network.
This is why having a robust coverage offering is a true differentiator for LC💧
