The pain

Why traditional growth doesn't work in crypto

Paid ads banned across most platforms

Google, Meta, TikTok all heavily restrict crypto. The few channels that allow it overcharge you.

Influencer money lit on fire

$30k for a tweet → 12 wallets and 4 of them are bots. The KOL game is broken without a system.

Quests that attract only sybils

100k 'users' completing tasks → zero retention, zero TVL, zero on-chain activity.

Airdrops that pump-and-dump on day one

No filtering means farmers cash out instantly and your token chart goes to zero.

The dream

What unconventional growth looks like

Loops that compound for free

Referral mechanics, token incentives, and partnerships that get cheaper per user as you grow.

Quests that filter for real users

On-chain, time-locked, multi-step quests that sybils can't farm — only real degens complete.

Airdrops that build holders, not exits

Eligibility design that rewards behavior you actually want — not bot loops.

KOL programs with attribution

Pay for outcomes, not vanity. Tracked links, on-chain attribution, performance-based deals.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The opposite — we design every play to filter out noise.

  • Plays are scored on retention and on-chain behaviour, not raw signups.
  • Quests and incentives are designed to repel airdrop farmers and bots.
  • Anything that looks like shill — paid raids, fake trends — we won't run.

Bots and farmers will find you for free. Our job is to find the real users underneath.

We guarantee experiments and attribution — never made-up numbers.

  • Each play has defined hypotheses, audiences, and success criteria upfront.
  • Attribution is wired before anything launches — UTMs, cohorts, on-chain tags.
  • Outcomes depend on token, market, and product, which we don't control.

You'll always know which play moved which metric — and which to kill or double down on.

Pre-token is often the best window for growth-hacking.

  • Waitlists and allocation campaigns build a real user base before TGE.
  • Off-chain quests test funnels before token incentives muddy the data.
  • Narrative and partner work seeded now compound into launch demand.

Done well, pre-token growth turns a launch into a release — not a roll of the dice.

Yes — we run plays end-to-end with your engineering team.

  • Integrations with major quest platforms and on-chain attribution tools.
  • Custom contracts and indexing specced when off-the-shelf isn't enough.
  • Tight collaboration with your devs — we don't ship blind to engineering.

You don't need an in-house growth engineer to run modern crypto plays.

Fast — but with a disciplined cadence.

  1. Each play runs as a 2–6 week sprint with clear start and stop dates.
  2. We typically run 2–3 plays in parallel across different funnel stages.
  3. Monthly reviews decide what to scale, what to iterate, and what to kill.

Speed without discipline burns budget. Speed with cadence compounds.
