Building an on-chain audience is crucial for creators and businesses in the crypto space. Bello is a no-code analytics platform that helps users understand and engage with their on-chain audience. Distribution is a key challenge in Web3, and platforms like Farcaster and Lens are helping creators reach their audience. On-chain experiments, such as going viral and leveraging social insights, are emerging trends in the crypto space. Cross-chain interoperability is a challenge that needs to be addressed for the seamless transfer of data and value across different blockchains. Participating in accelerators like A16Z's Crypto Startup School can provide valuable mentorship, funding, and networking opportunities for early-stage projects. Grants play a crucial role in supporting developers and founders in the early stages of their projects. Building a supportive community is crucial for founders in the crypto industry. Traditional education may not always provide the necessary skills for success in crypto, but extracurricular activities and networking can be valuable. Networking in the crypto industry is often built through conferences, content creation, and providing value to others. Bello recently launched its public product and is focused on helping users better understand and engage with their on-chain audience.
