The era of free distribution of identity projects is indeed becoming increasingly scarce. Carefully examining Rays Labs' Passport design, people often misunderstand it as some kind of NFT product, but in fact it operates on a different logic—the core purpose is to perform fine-grained segmentation of users. Through the Passport mechanism, project teams can clearly distinguish different types of users and implement targeted operational strategies. This approach may seem simple on the surface, but it implicitly contains a new way of evaluating user value within the Web3 ecosystem. The age of free distribution is over, replaced by a more precise user identification and classification system.

It's the same layered approach again. To put it nicely, it's just another way to harvest the little guys.

Damn, another scheme. I thought I could really get free access to the identity. The Passport system looks like it's just labeling us and then harvesting based on levels. Wake up, everyone. The era of free stuff is really over. Now it's all about precise harvesting of users. I recognize this logic. The more detailed the segmentation, the more ruthless the cut. Capital's tricks are really one after another. Rays is playing the game of first giving a sweet deal, then categorizing users, and some end up becoming "low-value users," which is ironic. In the end, it's still a data farm. We're being used to optimize their operational models. Here we go again, a new approach to user value assessment in Web3? Basically, just a new harvesting system. But to be fair, this approach is really ruthless, even worse than just directly taking money from users... User classification essentially means differential treatment, just a more friendly way of saying it. This system will definitely be copied. Let's wait and see who copies it the fastest and the most aggressively.

Basically, it's just cutting leeks with a different name, even with precise classification, it sounds very "scientific."

It's all just tricks, the era of free is really gone. --- Layering? Basically, it's about precisely cutting the leeks. --- I didn't quite understand Passport; it feels like just a new way to do user tagging? --- Another project trying to use identity to make a fuss, it's a bit annoying to see. --- Wait, isn't this the logic of targeted advertising? Has it been brought into Web3? --- If it's not free, how else to attract newcomers? It's really tough these days. --- Thinking about it, it's still somewhat interesting, much better than blindly burning money. --- Why does it feel like all projects are learning to charge money?

Basically, it's about tagging users, similar to a credit scoring system.

This analysis is interesting... but one point needs clarification: can Passport really achieve fine-grained stratification? Let's look at the data—has on-chain behavior been statistically analyzed?
