Seeing the first couple Collab Friends in Drop 2 including Little Lemons and Cosmic Cats, there should be significant interest in these far above the 5 Collab Friends each from the first drop. I was thinking that the "First Click Wins" method isn't optimal especially as understanding of the $RIBBIT Marketplace and staking continues to increase. Other options could include:
A Raffle: Holders that have the required Collab NFT in their wallet, in addition to the right amount of claimed $RIBBIT to purchase, could enter a raffle for the limited amount of Collab Friends. This is probably optimal for Fairness.
An Auction: Fonzy said he could potentially design a $RIBBIT Marketplace auction feature. Depending on how an auction is structured (blind vs. public, etc.) this could result in a greater amount of $RIBBIT being burned, as the Gen 1 Collab Friends were very affordable (too cheap, imo) for the staking boost they gave and the scarce demand.
The benefit of First-click is it is simple and rewards the most active/engaged users, but imo the concerns around time zones, "feeling bad" if you were ready but missed out due to a click speed or internet connection, etc mean we should move to a different method for future drops.
