3. Differences in Perception Between Existing Steemit Users and P2E Users

Recent issues have revealed clear differences in perception between users who have and have not experienced P2E services.

📌 Characteristics of Existing Steemit Users

• Familiar with Steemit’s reward structure → content creation activities such as writing posts or participating in events are directly tied to rewards.
• Strong belief in “free services” and “every action should lead to rewards.”
• This has led to a tendency toward a bounty hunter mindset.

📌 Characteristics of P2E-Experienced Users

• While some activities (such as ad engagements) can yield rewards, there is a common understanding that real profit requires upfront payment.
• In Web3-based P2E services, the primary motivation is profit, and the token economy is a crucial component.

📌 Differences from Web2 Games

• Web2 games are built primarily around fun and achievement, with deep gameplay as the foundation.
• Most Steemit users have not experienced P2E, so they evaluate it through a Web2 lens.
• This often results in payment resistance and a lack of investment motivation.

4. Nature of the Cryptid Hunter Service

• A typical P2E service, focusing more on profit and tokenomics than on gameplay.
• Since payment is required to participate meaningfully, resistance to this model is more prominent within Steemit.

5. Can Cryptid Hunter Be Changed to Fit Steemit Users’ Preferences?

• Conclusion: Not without completely overhauling the game system.
• Cryptid Hunter was designed from the start as a P2E model, so it should be approached from a Web3/P2E perspective rather than compared directly to Web2 games.
• The development direction and structure are already finalized, meaning the core P2E nature will remain intact.

7. Service Direction & Support for Steemit Adaptation

• Cryptid Hunter’s main goal is to help TON blockchain users adapt to Steemit.
• Therefore, the focus is more on external TON blockchain users rather than existing Steemit users.
• To lower the high entry barriers of the STEEM blockchain, we avoid explaining posting/active keys in depth at the start.
• This approach ensures that new users from outside can adapt to Steemit quickly without being overwhelmed by its complexity.
