📌 Overview
Most mobile ads interrupt flow and alienate users — the Focus Token model flips that script. By giving users control and making ad-free time something they earn, apps trigger User Agency and the Endowment Effect, turning ads into a valued exchange rather than a violation. This research-driven approach can boost retention and brand affinity — but only if developers preserve fairness, eliminate friction, and tailor rewards to different user habits. Implemented poorly, it habituates and collapses; implemented well, it builds long-term loyalty.

- 🎯 Why interruptive ads damage retention
- 🧠 User Agency and decision control
- 🪙 Endowment Effect and earned value
