🗞️ Finally finished my "folk" article about @ConnextNetwork. Open for feedback. Thanks for your time
https://link.medium.com/1zUwvh4SDrb

IT is NOT your regular ULTIMATE GUIDE about Monad - It's the Biggest thread about @monad_xyz: 
- All Discord roles and how to get'em
- 100+ dApps
- Step by step guides
- 25+ faucets
- Bangkok IRL event
- I built my TG faucet for 1500 ppl

Bet you won't read it till the end

In case you'd like to read a full article not in a thread format (cause 300 posts in thread can be painful) - here is a full paper at @SubstackInc

https://voshchansky.substack.com/p/monad-magnum-opus

1/ The first category of projects i personally like to dive into are projects that stand out from the rest on a fundamental level

The second category is ecosystem projects, where with one action you are active in two, three or even four projects at the same time

2/ @monad_xyz combines all of those things. Add the secret sauce in the form of tier-1 partnerships ( @BackPack, @Wormhole, @PythNetwork, @Elixir), their fundraising, community-driven paradigms, the ability to mulch and automate processes...and that's priority №1

3/ Monad's founders are trendsetters. @keoneHD previously worked at @JumpTrading for 9 years. The second cofounder is Kevin. He is known on CT as @Intern. Most likely you've heard about @Binance_Intern, @Nansen_Intern, @Intern4Sonic. Kevin launched that trend

4/ I think it's important to read and understand the tenets that he derived for himself and that guided him on the topic of community building. Here it is
https://x.com/intern/status/1793353577328427501

5/ a) Stop posting ads. Talking about a product is advertising. People hate ads. They will ignore your brand and stop engaging if you talk about how many transactions you have per second

6/ b) You're not competing with protocols, you're competing with KOLs and people who make entertaining content. When a person goes to CT, he want to know what Portnoy wrote, wazzup on memes. Consumption. You r competing for attention with that content, not another “Solana killah”

7/ c) Marketing and community is a system, not a collection of individual activities. It's a complex system where everything is connected - Discord, TG, X and all of them depend on each other. Proper funneling between channels will give more effect than their isolated pumping

8/ d) Invest in the community. Realistically. If you don't invest in the community, don't be surprised when it doesn't invest in you. The community will congregate wherever it gets high. And if you yourself don't like spending time in your community - Others won't like it either


9/ e) Interact with community content from the project acc and founders accs. Because 1) Marketing becomes a process of selecting best content rather than launching a new unworkable hypothesis. And b) It shows the community that you value their content. Engage with ppl publicly


10/ f) Associations > Knowledge. @RedBull doesn't post their cans on their #Instagram. They post cool people doing cool stuff with their logo. They create a positive association with the brand - and that then affects sales. If they were posting product - would have died long ago


11/ g) Don't copy someone else's strategy blindly. A good strategy is built from the ground up, based on knowledge of the product build, the niche, the audience, the current reputation etc. What worked for others will almost certainly not work perfectly for you

12/ h) Quality > quantity. The “subscribe, like and retweet” quests are a bad strategy. They seem to give metrics, but in reality they kill organics. When you have 7.2k likes and 10k views - everyone realizes it's bullshit


13/ i) Do something that doesn't scale. If you have 5-20 people who care, that's already a success. Appreciate everything they do. Don't think, “What happens when there's 50,000 of us?” - if your team doesn't interact with these guys now, you just won't get to that number

14/ j) Community are real people. It's amazing that this needs to be spelled out, but yes. These are not numbers on a subscriber meter, these are real people with lives, concerns, emotions. Build for them. 100 live, engaged people is already better than 99% of crypto projects

15/ In the @Monad_xyz case, it all started with the purple Pepe, whom they started forcing themselves. Then new characters appeared - Molandak, Purgeatory, Chog, Mouch....

16/ If you are a bilder who shares their "meme" vision, or just looking for an opportunity to work with these handsome guys - here is a portion of links for you:
@monad_dev
https://discord.com/invite/monaddev


17/ https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/monad.foundation
This is a great option to try yourself as a business development manager, graphic designer or marketer - be sure to make a CV and send it to them for approval - they are definitely looking for talent. Programmers are in the greatest demand, of course

18/ Meetups

If you've ever traveled outside of your country - you know what Luma is. If big forums and conferences always have their own website, social networks, websites for selling tickets - you can only find out about local meetups by downloading the https://lu.ma/

19/ It's especially convenient when you go to a BlockChain Life or Token2049, but want to get to side events. The corporates you know the most about throw community events - @Monad_xyz, @Ethereum, @OKX, @Solana, @ZKSync, @ton_blockchain, @bitgetglobal, @krakenfx. For free

20/ 
- Some of them makes a huge event in an auditorium with speakers and officiating
- Some of them gathers a few dozen people in a small co-working space with a bartender and catering
- Someone gathers an open-air BBQ party for networking

21/ Such meetups can end in the most unexpected way for you - from just getting drunk, to getting a unique role or POAP, to getting an insider, to getting a job, to continuing the movement at a side event - there are tons of options and all of them should suit you

22/ Here is a photo from Monad Thailand First Meetup 2024 couple minutes before final photo https://x.com/monad_xyz/status/1785507005593235490

23/ Around the same time we ran into a local meetup by Impossible Finance. We also had a meetup hosted by @Solana, where just in a skyscraper with pano windows the guys gathered in their modest co-working space, set up a bartender, ordered a pizza and discussed their dev problems

24/ There was also a full-fledged conference in the shopping mall, where on the stage broadcasted such guys as @EvgenyGaevoy ( @Wintermute), @ASvanevik ( @Nansen_ai) and other whales, and stands bought @Polkadot, @ZKSync, @TheSandboxGame, @MantaNetwork...And others

25/ So - compared to them event from @monad_xyz felt as the most community-oriented, just like a neighborhood meeting. In the lobby you were met with free snacks, drinks, water, cola. Plus, they put a special photo zone where you could take a snap with their purple frog

26/ And we took couple pictures. And in the photo we accidentally caught cofounder Keon, whom I mentioned above - there he is, on the right behind in a white T-shirt (here is his post from that meeting btw - https://x.com/keoneHD/status/1784252895115829654)

27/ In the end, as full participants of @monad_xyz the event, we snatched a unique collector's postcard, which was signed with a gold shiny marker. We drank cola to the brim, munched chips and with a clear conscience went on to conquer BangCock's bars further

28/ Discord Roles at #Monad

There used to be a MEE6 bot on the server that gave XP for every post from a user (7 to 12 XP for 1 post). Leaderboard didn't go anywhere - you can see it at https://mee6.xyz/en/monad

29/ But now everything has changed - there are more roles, the server became public, XP was removed because of spam, and it became much harder to get something here. In general, the roles are as follows:

Newbies - Default role, which you get upon logging into the server

30/ Full access - Gives access to almost all branches within the server. The most important role of all that is on the server. You can go to the AMAs, to help newbies in chat, to create content. The toughest way is to just talk about yourself and be a unique content maker

31/ Add your tweet to your Discord profile description, put a meme purple PFP, buy a check mark in X and you already stand out from the rest

32/ Lifehack from #Monad dev: "Whenever we post to X from a @monad_xyz account or from the accounts of the @keoneHD, @cryptunez, @Intern, etc. team, be sure to respond with a joke, thought, meme, or anything that makes sense. We want our every post to be filled with responses."

33/ In general, the server itself after receiving the role will look like this

34/ Local roles (CIS, Indian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, etc.) - Local roles are opened after getting Full Access

35/ #LocalNads - Role for quality posts in languages other than English. Easiest to get after Full access by sharing content in #nads-on-twit

36/ #Nads - role for quality posts in English. Same way to get it

37/ #Mon are the very, very cool people who help the most

38/ Running hot - Can be obtained by being nominated by other community members

39/ #NadOG - Can be received for contributions you make to the community over a long period of time

40/ #Monartist & #Monvideo & #Monad Memes - roles for contributing to the community by creating artistic content (not memes - separate role for those) and videos

41/ #Monvangelist is a role for those who answer questions in the community and help the rest of the community

42/ #Quant - role for creating content related to trading and signals

43/ 1)what - Can be obtained for regular degenposting and shitposting

44/ Pioneer - Granted to members who joined before the Discord server went public. That was in the first half of 2024, so you can forget about it

46/ #Monactivist - for those who build their community or product in the Monad ecosystem. Nominated through the Telegram group or selected by the moderators

47/ #Mouch - there used to be an event on Fridays where @0xGleader or @0xGrimjow would draw PFPs for users upon request. You put those PFPs on your avatar and you got a role

48/ PortDraws Verified - given during the event for drawings in a certain style

Ultimate Guide to @monad_xyz

🧵 Cross-chain messaging and increased interoperability - the future is cross-chain 

Here is a brief explanation of what is cross-chain message passing 👇 

We have some problems in Web3 that deal with the complexity of user interaction with dApps 

Cross-chain messaging is the solution to connect users to other chains through a verifiable, trust-less network, supported by on-chain validators

For example - users can keep their funds on the chain of their choosing and use an SDK to enable the movement of assets and NFT purchase all in one bundled transaction without having to manually switch, bridge, and interact with the dApp as a separate transaction

Another example is Yield Farms and Liquidity Pools 

Wallet connecting, switching between blockchains, bridging assets, and further liquidity providing 

With cross-chain messaging, you'll pass those stages and going to be able to solve the issue in 1 step

Hyphen support at Bungee

🧵Another week - another breakthrough for guys from @biconomy 

I already mentioned how cost-efficient is our API. That's how dApps saved more than $267k in their Gas Fees since the beginning of the year👇 

🚀 According to info from polygonscan and etherscan Year-To-Date 100% of our integrated dApps have paid lower gas fees than they would’ve without our SDK, since integrating Gasless to support meta-transactions

🌑 Talking about @Ethereum - dApps saved more than $183k which is around $7 per transaction

$154k was saved in 2021. So I'm expecting x2 gain at least till the end of this year in comparison with 2021. Or maybe something else is coming which gonna make it x3 or even x4...👀

🟣Talking about Polygon, Year-to-date dApp fees have been approximately 30% lower with Gasless when compared to polygonscan data

So you can see this integration is a win-win solution for both developers and users...

But wait. What about users?

🚀To date, Gasless has helped end-users save over $435,000 USD on Polygon and $4.1 million USD on Ethereum

So the total amount is about $4.6m USD since launching our Gasless SDK

🤑 For you to visualize - It's like 8 cases full of 100$ dolla bills, exceeding the weight of 80kg

New milestones for Biconomy

🧵 Another feature from @Biconomy is on the agenda

Conditional #Gasless is the way to bring smooth UX to your product for only the most loyal users - stakers, most active traders, OGs, or early supporters

You decide who to award👇 

Previously if you are a developer and were looking for a possibility to improve UX - the only possibility was to implement Gasless for everyone in your dApp
Which is awesome but this case had some limitations

It's a win-win for both users and developers
💪Users are having nice UX, bringing more activity, increasing engagement
🦾 Developers are also saving - dApps already saved around $270k with Gasless since API is optimized and tx cost is cheaper on average compared to ether/polyscan

Now we added some flexibility. It helps you to:
✅ Give it a try with your most engaged users
✅ Motivate your common users to be more active
✅ Enable this for Pass or any other NFT holders  
✅ Enable this for Stakers, Top Liquidity Providers
✅ OGs/Early ones rewarding

👇Imagine your cases of this feature using. Here are my thoughts:
1⃣Integration with @opensea/@geniexyz/@LooksRare  
2⃣For DeFi platforms is to create Holder Pools as it is made at @Biswap_Dex and reward stakers with Gasless in addition to other surprises 
https://twitter.com/biconomy/status/1545462243818557445

3⃣ Enable this for users who passed KYC/verification
4⃣ Partnership with upcoming @MaviaGame at their marketplace
5⃣ New level for Free mints
6⃣ @adidasoriginals can whitelist users by dropping Soulbound NFTs in addition to physical apparel for Runtastic achievements

🔵 Here is how @TheSandboxGame sees this

Both UI/UX feels awesome, isn't it?

Conditional Gasless explanation

🧵  The global crisis? Company bankruptcies? Global instability? Who cares if you are a BUIDLer?

Awesome month for @biconomy - several milestones are passed at once. And even more is coming 👇 

🚀 There were some news about 1.4m new users onboarded to Web3.0. Actually this number is more than 2m according to dashboard currently

And this is only the beginning. 
https://twitter.com/biconomy/status/1545108804487901184

🚀 There are 180 dApps currently using our #Gasless

🤫 #Hyphen and #Forward still exist
https://twitter.com/biconomy/status/1544736693302935552

🚀 20.000.000 transactions by now. It means that about 45.000 transactions are making on daily basis

Overloading? Stucked transactions? What is this?

 https://twitter.com/biconomy/status/1547612729082384385

🔴 So, what's next? We launched our governance proposal on @optimismFND to push #Gasless implementation for their dApps

98% of the votes received are in favor of the proposal. If you are holding some $OP - go leave your vote. This is gong to be huge

https://twitter.com/R1skyR1ck/status/1545416175932346368

🚀Conditional #Gasless 

More flexibility is available in #Gasless integration. You are token/NFT HODLr? Top10 TVL user? Maybe didn't use those 10 Gasless transactions which you are provided by project on monthly basis? You deserve it, share this with devs

Latest Biconomy Milestones

🗳️ A new governance proposal from @Biconomy to @optimismPBC for pushing #Gasless among dApps

👀 You saw something similiar before right? Gas grants for @MoonbeamNetwork and @0xPolygon 

👇 This is a small part of proposal. Read the thread to the end to understand all the nuances 

To have a truly chainless experience cross-chain transfers should be made directly using your in-dApp UI

🔴 Biggest dApp on Optimism is already using Biconomy's #Hyphen - @perpprotocol users are supercharged with such UX

Similiar experience as if you were surfing Web2

Raw stats - for 14 days of supporting Optimism by #Hyphen:
- Volume bridged to/from Optimism - $800.000
- Number of transactions - 916
- Number of unique users - 139

And this is only the beginning. You know the final goal right?
🔥B is for Billion
https://twitter.com/biconomy/status/1545108804487901184

Now #Gasless. Gas Grants will be given to new projects looking to go gasless on Optimism

Currently there are 180 dApps which are already using #Gasless(incluing 9 EVM chains) which lets their users have smooth and seamless experience interacting with platform they are using

And we are going to increase that amount of dApps integrating #Gasless

🟣 Previously we had a partnership with @MoonbeamNetwork and @0xPolygon regarding gas grants

🔴Now there is a nice opportunity for @optimismPBC to become the most user friendly EVM chain on the planet

👇You are free to check this thread btw for Polygon dApps stats including users savings, developers savings and how efficient our API is
