Situation

Every competing bonding-curve platform assumed a wallet-funded, crypto-native user on desktop. Anyone without SOL already in a wallet was excluded before they started — the single largest onboarding drop-off in the category.

T

Task

Prototype a mobile-native product where a first-time user can buy in with a card in under a minute, and where holding a token has social and cooperative value rather than being purely speculative.

A

Action

  • 01Built a native mobile front end with Apple Pay as the primary funding path, provisioning an embedded wallet behind the scenes so no seed phrase blocks the first purchase.
  • 02Wired card settlement to on-chain execution with clear pending, confirmed and failed states so a mainstream user always knows where their money is.
  • 03Implemented a (3,3)-style incentive layer: a share of transaction fees routed back into liquidity, periodic SOL distributions to holders, and community reward tracks.
  • 04Designed a social feed and holder view that makes holding legible and shareable instead of a number in a wallet.
  • 05Delivered PWA and wallet-browser polish so the same experience holds up outside the native app.
R

Result

  • Card-to-token purchase completed without the user ever holding SOL first.
  • Onboarding reduced from a multi-step wallet setup to a single Apple Pay confirmation.
  • Fee flows redirected toward liquidity and holders rather than insiders alone.
  • Mobile-first architecture that stood out in a desktop, wallet-first category.
