The Blocknet Mission

Our goal is to communicate that Blocknet is the bridge between technologies, markets, and communities. Blocknet’s purpose is to serve the passionate communities behind every coin by enabling new freedoms and capabilities. We want every user to know that Blocknet was created to empower the blockchains they are already passionate about. To be for Blocknet is to be for all blockchains.

New Website

We are building a new website to communicate Blocknet’s mission and technology to the everyday crypto user. We are working with vendors to present Blocknet in a clean and intuitive way, with ample resources to streamline new users getting involved.

Key website elements will be:

We will be working with international partners to have translations for other languages.

Advertising

We plan to begin advertising across social media, Google Adwords, and the web. Our strategy is utilizing short campaigns that connect with the pain points other coin communities face when relying on centralized entities. We will promote Blocknet as the solution. If a coin is delisted from a major exchange or an exchange is hacked, we will engage those communities with real-time marketing campaigns.

Advertising campaigns will begin in March and focus on the DX UI beta and Blocknet rewards (Staking and Service Nodes). In February we will be working with VSA and other vendors to create marketing materials for the advertising launch in March.

We will also be working with other blockchain projects to engage in joint campaigns to promote the release of a new coin on the Blocknet DEX.

KPIs

200,000 impressions across all Q1 ads leading to 3000 click-throughs

We also plan to have interviews with high profile Youtubers after the launch of the DX UI beta.

Vision

With all this groundwork we are laying to promote Blocknet, there is still no more effective form of marketing than viral, grassroots word of mouth, so we are going to need you, the community, to continue being the main voices of Blocknet. Our goal is to have an empowered community that’s equipped to reach other blockchain communities. We know that through the Blocknet community all other communities can have freedom from centralization… so let’s spread the word!
