Your question is Design a Web3 Social Token Economy. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

Problem

Design a web3-based social token economy.

Asked in the whiteboard stage. The prompt was tailored to the candidate's stated interest in crypto.

Explain which users and use cases you would prioritize, how tokens would create sustained value rather than speculation, and what product experience you would build first. Address incentives, governance, trust, accessibility, and risks such as manipulation or regulatory exposure.

Deliverables

  1. Identify target users and their core jobs to be done.
  2. Define the token's utility and the economic behaviors it should encourage.
  3. Propose an MVP experience and prioritize key features.
  4. Define success metrics, safeguards, and a validation plan.

Constraints

Assume limited initial resources. Make clear trade-offs between decentralization, usability, growth, and safety. Do not assume that issuing a token is itself evidence of user value.
