Are you a Web3 community manager? Do you know, a stagnant Web3 community can do much harm? It steals the motivation of members who contribute to the community. It causes decreased adoption of your Web3 project & related technologies. Finally, the long term sustainability of your Web3 community becomes a question mark.

Let’s find out why most Web3 communities are stagnant in growth.

Reasons For Stagnant Web3 Community

Below are 4 clear reasons for the Stagnant growth of the Web3 community.

reasons for stagnant Web3 community

  1. Fading Excitement: The Web3 community is usually started with hype and excitement. As time progresses, the initial excitement fades. Both the community manager and the members lose interest in further progress.
  2. Token Volatility: Every Web3 project contains a native token. When the value of the native token comes down due to market fluctuations, collaboration stops. Members who have joined only for monetary benefits eventually leave the community.
  3. Narrowed Audience: Web3 and decentralized technologies are new, evolving and niche. Web3 does not have a large audience. It has only narrowed limited members, which reflects limited community engagement.
  4. Slower Development: Web3 technologies are complex and are not easy to develop. This is a new space, and the available knowledge is limited. This results in slower development of applications, resulting in stagnant community growth.

Token-Gated Survey is a solution to this stagnant growth of the Web3 community. Let’s see how a gated survey can address the problem of stagnant growth.

Fueling Web3 Community With Token-Gated Surveys

Token-Gated Surveys fuels Web3 community growth.

Token-Gated surveys allow you to restrict the audience who can take your surveys. Respondents can take the surveys only when they have required token holdings in their wallet.

Below are the ways in which Token-Gated Surveys can address stagnant growth in the Web3 community.

  • Meaningful Conversations: With Token-gated surveys you are actually reaching an invested and targeted audience who are genuinely interested individuals of your Web3 community. This in-turn triggers meaningful interactions within the community, driving growth.
  • Genuine Responses: Gated surveys filter out spam responses in your survey. This is because only genuine and invested respondents take your survey. Ultimately, you receive accurate responses that guide the community towards positivity.
  • Sense of Exclusivity: Participants of gated surveys feel special about the exclusivity it provides. People tend to experience the “Fear of missing out” emotion, thus speeding up their willingness to take the survey and contribute to the community.
  • Promising Governance: Gated surveys are seen as a promising tool to grant voting rights to your community respondents. These voting rights are provided only to the targeted, invested and genuine participants, amounting to improved community governance.
  • Incentivizing Culture: Crypto Wallet address is collected by default while running gated surveys. The availability of wallet addresses provides an easy means to reward FTs & NFTs to the community members. It’s also a great way to reward while maintaining the anonymity of the recipient.

Finally, it is also essential to analyze the survey results and craft clear segmentation strategies for continuous improvement. This helps you stay ahead of stagnation and be optimized for the future of your Web3 community.
