In the world of Web3, community isn't just a nice-to-have—it's the backbone of virtually every successful project. From ICOs and NFTs to decentralized apps (dApps) and everything in-between, the strength of their following can make all the difference. 

Take the blockchain space, for example, where there are many instances of active followers propelling a project to meteoric rises (Ethereum, Cardano, Ripple, many meme coins, etc.. Conversely, there are also many examples where a weak community erodes trust, leading to a project’s sharp decline. Communities provide a broad testing ground, rapid feedback loops, and a wealth of perspectives that can enhance and bring attention to a Web3 product.
