# Growth & Cold Start

> A zero-friction growth loop, points & badges, optional account linking

## 4.1 A Zero-Friction Growth Loop

Modeled on Humanity Protocol's playbook — not Kuzco's "crowdsourced hardware for points":

① Connect wallet → ② Get a shareable reputation card in seconds (score + rank + badges) → ③ One-tap share to social → ④ Personal referral link unlocks extra badges and points.

No downloads. No private data handed over. Ever.

## 4.2 Points & Badges

V1 uses off-chain points (not tokens) to record early participation, referrals, and activity streaks — creating a traceable basis for possible future airdrops or governance rights, while committing to no specific redemption terms. This avoids repeating the trust damage of DePIN projects whose points went to zero.

## 4.3 Phase Two: Optional Account Linking

Users may voluntarily and revocably link additional identity signals strongly correlated with Web3 identity (ENS, Farcaster, GitHub) to enrich their score. In V1 and the foreseeable future, we do not collect social media behavior, short-video habits, or offline purchase records — the privacy and platform-compliance costs of such data do not match this stage of the project.
