Grinding for WL is stupid.

Imagine…

You decide to sign up and wait in line to be part of a “highly exclusive community”.

All the wonders of the world are given to the ones that are lucky enough to become the first members.

Wealth, Fame, and much much more.

To get invited, you only have to stay up, tell all of your friends, and spam as much as possible.

While you are trying to have a genuine conversation with people in the waiting line, others are trying everything in their power to get ahead.

People are screaming, pushing each other, and trying to get noticed at all costs.

Surrounded by chaos, you realize that there is no way any of the moderators are going to notice you.

So you also start screaming, pushing, and do things you usually wouldn’t do. Anything just to get noticed.

By some miracle, you get noticed and you are handed an entry ticket.

You are beyond excited.

Finally, the day comes. You are exhausted, tired, and happy that all the grinding is finally over.

The doors open and everybody streams in.

After 20 minutes of complete chaos, fighting, and screaming, everything inside the room is taken.

Everybody took as much as their wallets were able to hold.

Five minutes after the big splurge, people run outside and sell everything they were able to grab to the best bidder that is still waiting in line.

Does that sound like a project that is set for long-term success?

We don’t think so.

Asking users to grind levels on Discord and get a high number of invites rarely leads to genuine engagement. More often, it invites bot spam and meaningless discussions, creating a community of flippers.

Worst of all, the users who spend the most time and effort trying to organically engage with the community often lose to a sea of spammers.

Forcing our members to stay up late and spend all day on Discord is NOT how we want to build our community.

What’s the alternative?

Community > Grind

We’d rather have a small, authentic group of people who are excited about building, than tens of thousands who do not care.

We’re not in rush.

So how you get can a WL spot?

It’s quite simple:

We do NOT have a minimum level requirement or a minimum number of invites you need to send out to get whitelisted.

Nor do we have bots that count how many messages you are sending.

No levels, no made-up discord roles, no BS.

Our amazing moderators are monitoring the Discord 24/7.

If they see you genuinely helping people, spreading good vibes, and spending time with the community on the regular, they will consider you for a spot.

We want to allow people to mint who add real value, share their love for the project and help our members the most.

So our whitelisters will be hand-picked based on value added to the project.

Needless to say, spamming messages or invites won’t get anyone ahead.

This ain’t a numbers game.

With that said, if you think your friends would like to be part of Flower Fam, you’re welcome to tell them about it.

Just make sure they share our vision for this amazing project.

Discord launching soon.
