How to participate in Web3 communities and projects: an advanced guide for novices to advanced players - web3 series Section 10

In the Web3 world, there is a common saying:“Community is power.”

Unlike the traditional Internet, the core of Web3 is not just technology or products;community driven. The success of a Web3 project often depends on the cohesion and activity of the community. You may have heard some names: Ethereum, Uniswap, BAYC, StepN... they all have large and diverse communities behind them.

As a person who has been paying close attention to and deeply involved in the Web3 project for a long time, I often meet friends asking me:

• “How do I get involved in the Web3 community?”
• “What can I gain from participating in the project?”
• “How to avoid stepping into pitfalls?”

Today, we will systematically talk about how to participate in the Web3 community and projects from entry to advanced.

Why get involved in the Web3 community?

1. Learn and grow

Web3 is changing very quickly, and the community is the best way to get the latest information and skills.

2. Networks and Opportunities

In the community, you might meet future partners, investors, or even join a startup.

3. Incentives and benefits

Many Web3 projects will passAirdrop, NFT, token rewardsto motivate early adopters.

4. Sense of achievement and belonging

Communities often emphasize "co-construction". When you see your contribution ideas adopted, you will have a strong sense of participation.

👉 One sentence summary:Participating in the community = learning + benefits + connections + sense of accomplishment.

How do I get started participating in the Web3 community?

If you are a newbie, you can follow these 4 steps:

1. Choose the right entry point

• Discord: Home for almost all Web3 projects.
• Twitter(X): The most concentrated information, project parties and KOLs are all on it.
• Telegram: Used by some DeFi/transaction projects.
• GitHub: Collaboration center for technology-based projects.

2. Find the direction you are interested in

The Web3 community is not just about technical geeks, there are many divisions of labor:

• Technology development (smart contracts, front-end, back-end)
• Content Creator (Writing, Video, Podcasting)
• Community operation (manage Discord, answer questions)
• Designer (NFT art, UI/UX)
• Investors (early participants, financial support)

3. From "observer" to "participant"

• First lurk (diving) to see the community atmosphere.
• Then start asking questions, liking, and retweeting.
• Then come to contributing content, such as writing a tutorial, translating announcements, and answering newcomer questions.

4. Build long-term value

• Participate in governance (DAO voting).
• Contribute code or documentation.
• Become a Core Contributor.

real case

Case 1: Uniswap community governance

Uniswap is the largest DEX (decentralized exchange) on Ethereum. In the early days, many people made proposals and wrote research reports in forums and Discord, and were gradually recognized by the project side. Some active members later becamecore governance members, receive monthly community fund subsidies. 👉 Enlightenment: Professional content and continuous contributions can turn you from an ordinary user to a "project co-builder".

Case 2: StepN user co-creation

StepN, the Move-to-Earn project that will explode in 2022, has a large number of KOLs emerging in the community: some write "running strategies", some do data analysis, and some start offline running activities. StepN officials even issued NFT badges to some active users.

👉 Enlightenment: Even if you are not a programmer, you can create value through operations, content or activities.

Case 3: An ordinary player’s “airdrop counterattack”

A friend I know often asked questions and gave feedback in the dYdX community in 2020. In 2021, dYdX issued a token airdrop, and because of his high activity, he received a reward worth tens of thousands of dollars.

👉 Enlightenment: Early participation and active contribution often bring unexpected benefits.

How to get involved in the Web3 project

Precautions and pit avoidance guide

1. Beware of scams

• “Fake airdrops, fake links, and fake customer service” are common in the Web3 community. Be sure to confirm official channels and never click on unknown links at will.

2. Control time costs

• It’s easy to get “addicted” to a community. It is recommended to pick 1-2 key communities and focus on them instead of checking in everywhere.

3. value orientation

• Don’t simply pursue “airdrops”, but ask yourself: What value can I create for the community? This will benefit you in the long run.

4. Information overload management

• It is recommended to use Notion or Telegram folders to classify and organize information from different communities, otherwise it will be easily overwhelmed.

future trends

1. DAO organization

• In the future, more communities will transform into DAOs, allowing contributors to truly participate in governance and revenue distribution.

2. professional role

• There will be a "Web3 freelance market", such as writer DAO and designer DAO.

3. community as economy

• A community is not just a place to chat, but a complete economic network: with currency, incentives, and organizational structure.

4. AI + Web3 Community

• AI tools will lower the barrier to participation, allowing more non-technical users to contribute.
