- Simplified Onboarding: The process should be streamlined, particularly for beginners and non-crypto users. Tutorials and guided tours would help newcomers navigate the app with ease.
- UI/UX Design Updates: The app’s design could benefit from larger icons and fonts for better visibility. Additionally, providing clearer menus and a night mode would significantly enhance user comfort.
- In-App Wallet: An integrated wallet would eliminate the need for third-party wallets like MetaMask, making the app more seamless.
- Content Organization: Organizing posts and photos similarly to platforms like Facebook, as well as improving video support (similar to Instagram Reels), would enhance content creation and sharing.

- Point and Token Conversion: Introducing mechanisms for converting points into tokens, such as monthly conversion limits or tiered rewards, would encourage consistent engagement from users.
5. Token and Economic Growth
The utility of the $SOCIAL token is a cornerstone of Phaver’s platform. Several improvements can be made to increase its value and usability:
- Increased Token Utility: To attract more users and investors, the $SOCIAL token needs more tangible uses within the app. Allowing users to purchase NFTs, stake tokens for rewards, and access premium features would increase its appeal.
- Stabilizing Token Price: Efforts should be made to stabilize the $SOCIAL token price and prevent extreme volatility, helping to build community confidence.
- Partnerships with Major Exchanges: Collaborations with major exchanges like Binance could boost the token’s exposure and increase its value.
6. Marketing and Strategic Partnerships
Strong marketing strategies and partnerships can significantly increase the platform’s visibility and growth:

- Privacy Features: Implementing features like privatizing pages or limiting access to specific posts for certain followers will enhance privacy and user control over their content.
9. Platform Growth and Scalability
Phaver’s growth hinges on both its crypto and non-crypto user base:

- Regular Updates and Improvements: Continuous updates focused on improving the platform’s features, security, and performance will ensure that the app evolves with user needs.
- Diversified User Engagement: Phaver should focus on attracting a diverse user base, from casual users to creators, while ensuring all users can benefit from monetization opportunities.

Summary: Feedback on Phaver’s NFT Strategy and Utility
The feedback on Phaver’s NFTs reflects a mix of opinions, with users suggesting improvements to make them more valuable, engaging, and integrated into the platform. Here are the key themes:
NFT Value and Utility:
- Several users expressed the need for Phaver NFTs to provide more tangible benefits. For instance, one suggestion is to “use NFTs to earn daily $SOCIAL or provide extra rewards for holding them.” There is also a call for “cheaper NFTs” to help onboard new users and make them more accessible. Additionally, users want “clear benefits for NFTs,” such as rewards from partner projects or in-app advantages.
- One comment noted, “NFTs should generate some $SOCIAL for holding them long-term.” There is a desire for “utility for holders,” with calls to “boost $SOCIAL staking” or introduce “special boosts” for NFT holders within the app.
NFTs and Community Engagement:
- Several members highlighted the importance of making NFTs more dynamic, with suggestions like “NFTs that reflect user engagement and holding time” to ensure long-term user interest. Users want more visibility for NFT holders and increased “engagement through in-app visibility.” Another suggestion is to “reward loyal users who don’t sell their NFTs by giving them $SOCIAL” to incentivize retention.

Reworking the NFT System:
