A lot of projects focus on attracting attention, but attention is not the same as community.

People may join because of a launch, incentive, or trending topic. But they return when they find something genuinely valuable.

In your experience, what creates that reason to return?

- Useful conversations?

- Access to founders or experts?

- Collaboration opportunities?

- Shared identity or culture?

- Events and activities?

- Something else?

I’m interested in practical examples from people building or participating in Web3 communities.

What has actually worked for you?

I've spent the last few years working around early-stage Web3 projects, and something I've been thinking about lately is how loosely we use the word "community."

There are hundreds of founder groups, accelerators, launchpads and networking communities.

But if you're actually building right now, what would genuinely help you?

• Better distribution and access to users?
• Creator/KOL connections?
• Warm investor introductions?
• Partnerships with other projects?
• GTM advice?
• Honest feedback from other founders?
• Something completely different?

I'm currently building around this problem, so I'm particularly interested in hearing from founders rather than assuming I know the answer.

What is the biggest bottleneck for your project right now?
