Depends on what you define as improved. A bootstrapped community that wouldn’t have otherwise been there helps improve a product. Has there been one to date that’s retained users well? Not really.
Not directly but it does bring more attention and thus liquidity and volume into the protocol.
Uniswap uni, I would argue that if uniswap didn’t launch their token sushi would have vampire attack uni successfully The reason why there was a space for sushi was because Uni was bad w community building, the token was a forcing function
Only when the product needed token incentives or more fame to become efficient. Other than that, also depends if a real DAO was born from it.
In my experience the DIMO product and platform improved after the $DIMO airdrop. Though it’s difficult to say how much of that improvement was directly related to the airdrop itself
Optimism, Uniswap - they enabled governance. I’m sure there are others
I don’t have personal experience with it but it sounds like maybe blur did. Helped get liquidity to the platform.
