Culture and Crypto, which does Kindred belong to?

The core driving force behind crypto diffusion is often profit expectations. For example: when incentives start, emotions rise, and data can spike in a short period; when incentives stop, cycles change, and popularity can easily decline. It’s more like a curve driven by market fluctuations—fast but unstable.

Cultural diffusion is completely the opposite! It relies not on profits but on recognition and imitation: a character being liked, shared, brought into daily conversations, which leads to genuine spread. Its growth is usually less explosive, but once it crosses a critical point, it becomes more sustainable and resistant to cycles because people stay for emotional connection and habits, not short-term gains.

Kindred stands on this more difficult and longer-term path. Users come not necessarily to understand more on-chain interactions; more often, they like a certain character, want to continue engaging, and are reluctant to break the connection. This motivation makes its retention and compound growth more like consumer goods rather than one-time activities.

Therefore, when viewing Kindred, it shouldn’t be understood solely through the metrics of crypto projects. More importantly, whether it is continuously discussed, recreated, and imitated; whether the characters enter users’ daily lives; whether relationships deepen over time.

The stability of these two curves lies in this difference!
