In the rapidly evolving world of Web3, growth strategies require innovative approaches that align with the decentralized ethos of the space. Recently, we partnered with Ponder, a Farcaster-native survey and Q&A tool, to launched a growth campaign.

This post will describe the case study and how we leverage our core principles to drive engagement and growth for Ponder's Q&A tool launch on Farcaster.
