How We're Onboarding 5,000 MAUs to Hive in 2023

The LeoVerse is ever-expanding. Earlier today, we posted a long-form article talking about our vision for 2023 and our renewed ideas for building LeoFinance.

Our goals are multi-fold:

Release the new UI from Closed Alpha to Open Alpha and then Production UI
Begin our plans to onboard more Monthly Active Users (currently 600 MAUs -> 1,000 by end of Q1)
Scale

In this clip from the AMA, Mitch and I talk about the onboarding problem on Hive. We talk about how Threads solves this and creates a zero-explanation User Experience.

To me, this zero-explanation user experience is the key to onboarding thousands of users.

Combine it with the technology we've already built - LeoInfra - for Hive Lite Account onboarding and we believe we have a magic combination.

This has been over 2 years in development. All of these technologies that LeoFinance has been refining and building. It's finally time to release the Coveted Project Blank and bring 5,000 MAUs to LeoFinance this year.

In This Episode:

Bear markets are great, price gets out of the way, focus on building
45 days til alpha - focus on project blank - microblogging
Dive deeper = more features
Turning point to using leo, usage will change
Tip: users should share long form posts on threads, more visibility = get creative!
Hive struggles with onboarding, threads solves this
People are not long form consumers
The experience curve on hive sucks
Long form becomes a feature, not the core - onboarding made easier
2 years culminate on this UI, then MAU increase
