Currently, for Web3 projects, the main promotion channels are still concentrated on the mainstream platforms of Web2, such as Twitter, Facebook and Medium. Projects attract more users by publishing content, and the number of social media fans has become one of the criteria for users to evaluate the quality of a project.

In this article, we will analyze the 10 Web3 projects with the fastest growth in the number of social media fans in the past month to explore what they have done to achieve the rapid growth in the number of fans:

Number of fans increased: 24W+

In the past month, the number of social media fans of these 10 projects has shown explosive growth. By observing the performance of these projects on Twitter in detail, we found that the time when the number of followers of most accounts increased significantly coincided with the time when they posted activities on the Web3 task growth platform.

According to the table, it can be seen that 90% of projects have chosen to use additional platforms for growth:

Trusta Labs, which ranks first, has gained more than 200,000 fans in a month. According to Social Blade, Trusta Labs experienced explosive growth around December 7.

Trusta participated in the sixth week of Linea's Odyssey released on the Web3 growth platform Intract, and Trusta was in the first exposure position:

Carbon Browser has gained more than 14,000 followers in a month. Looking through its Twitter feed, you can see that in the past month, the most exposed tweet was an event tweet in cooperation with the task platform TaskOn, which received nearly 9,000 retweets.

Following closely, Dot Names chose a two-pronged approach and launched activities on both Galxe and TaskOn. The task was simple, just follow and like Twitter, and a large number of people participated in the activity.

Similar to traditional Web2, Web3 projects now have tools and platforms designed to facilitate growth. Since these tools are native to Web3, they are easier for users to accept and reduce education costs. There are multiple growth platforms emerging in the current market, and projects can adopt different strategies based on budget and needs. For projects with larger budgets, you can cooperate with multiple task platforms to expand the scope of customer acquisition; while for projects with smaller budgets, you can choose to cooperate in depth with one platform. It may be difficult for track leaders like Galxe to utilize limited resources. Once the resources are negotiated to achieve satisfactory cooperation, resource exchange with other platforms is still very operable.
