Which Web3 contests can be promoted, and which are declined?
We promote entries, not tokens. A hackathon submission, a grant application, an NFT artwork in a competition or a nomination in a community award is something people can look at, judge and support. A token is not, and our copy never treats it as the reason to vote.
Contests we plan for
- Hackathons with a public vote or a community-choice prize.
- Grant programmes that combine committee review with community signal. See contests with jury and public vote.
- NFT and digital-art competitions judged by votes.
- Community awards for projects, creators and tools.
Contests we decline
A contest where winning depends on buying a token, or where votes can be bought through a payment, falls outside our work, and so does any competition that promises returns for taking part. We do not create wallets, split holdings across wallets or help anyone sidestep a one-wallet-one-vote rule; we also never ask for a seed phrase or a private key. The page on projects we decline states the full list. When a vote is weighted by holdings, we plan around people who already hold what the contest counts, and we tell you plainly what that does to the audience.
How does wallet-based voting work for a supporter?
Usually in three moves: the supporter opens the voting page, connects a wallet, and signs a message that records the vote. Signing a message is different from approving a transaction, and the difference is the first thing a nervous voter needs explained.
What we tell supporters before they click
- Open the voting page from the official link only, and check the address before connecting.
- A vote normally asks for a signature on a readable message. If a wallet asks to approve spending or transfer assets, stop and ask the organizer.
- Never share a seed phrase with anyone. No genuine voting page, and no one from our team, will ask for it.
- A vote may count only once per wallet, or only for wallets that held something at a stated moment. Read the contest's wording.
How this shapes the campaign
Wallet steps lose supporters at every stage: some have no wallet, some do not trust the pop-up. Our ads and posts therefore name the steps and show what the signature screen looks like. In the protection types guide the same logic is applied to email, captcha and phone checks. We pace reminders so that people who start the process finish it, and we read the daily numbers to see where they drop away.
What must be disclosed, and what do ad platforms ask of crypto contests?
Anything paid has to look paid. That rule covers ads we run for you, posts by creators we engage and any affiliation between you and the contest.
- Paid posts. Creator content we arrange is marked as a paid partnership using the platform's own label, or with a plain statement at the start of the post.
- Your affiliation. If you are on the organizing team, a sponsor or an adviser to the contest, say so wherever you ask for votes.
- Rewards. We do not design schemes that pay supporters in tokens or NFTs for voting. If the organizer's rules allow rewards, they are disclosed exactly as the rules describe.
Crypto ads are a policy topic
Several advertising platforms restrict crypto-related ads, require advance approval or limit what an ad may say, and the rules change. Before we build an ad set we read the current policy of the platform, then write ads about the entry itself: the builders, the product, the artwork, the deadline. Where a platform declines crypto advertising, we use consented outreach and creators instead, as laid out in community, email and messenger outreach. For the mechanics of paid placement in general, see paid promotion of contest entries.
What do the posts say about the project, and what do they leave out?
They say what was built, who built it and why a voter might care. They leave out anything that turns the vote into a trade.
| We write about | We leave out |
|---|---|
| The product, the artwork or the proposal | Token price, charts or targets |
| The team and what they shipped | Profit, returns or yield |
| How to vote and by when | Urgency built on fear of missing out |
| The community that benefits | Comparisons that imply a financial outcome |
Why copy discipline pays
Crypto contests attract suspicion. A feed full of price talk makes judges, organizers and ordinary voters assume the entry is a promotion for a token, and some will report it. A feed that shows the demo, the builders and the plain voting steps looks like what it is: a project asking for support.
We write the posts, the short video and the banners with you in the creative and copy service, and every line is approved by you before it goes out. When you want to say something about your token because the contest requires it, we put it in a neutral descriptive sentence and nowhere else.
Where do Web3 contest voters actually gather?
In a handful of places that the contest rules usually permit, and rarely in the same place as the general public.
- X suits builders, artists and project followers, with replies and posts that point to the entry. See X.
- Telegram holds project groups and announcement channels; posting there needs the admins' permission. See Telegram.
- Reddit has niche communities, each with its own rule about asking for votes. Many ban it, so we read the sidebar first. See Reddit.
- YouTube suits a demo walkthrough that explains a hackathon project in two minutes. See YouTube.
- LinkedIn works for grants and developer-tool awards where the audience is professional. See LinkedIn.
Creators and communities
For entries that need credibility, creators who already cover the field can show the project to their own audience, with the paid relationship disclosed. The influencer outreach page explains how we choose them. We message communities only through admins who agreed, and we leave out any group where posting is not welcome.
What should a Web3 team send us to get a plan?
Send the facts that decide whether and how we can help. Most of them are in the contest's own documents.
- The contest page, the full rules and the voting mechanism, including whether it is wallet-based, token-gated or jury-led.
- The deadline with its time zone and any snapshot moment.
- A link to the entry: the repository, demo, artwork or proposal.
- Your role in relation to the contest, for disclosure.
- The communities and countries you hope to reach.
- Anything the organizer has said about outside promotion.
The limits sit in two places. Organizers can change a voting rule, and ad platforms review each crypto ad on their own policy, so a launch date can move; we keep the schedule flexible and tell you early. We never promise a rank or a vote count.
Send the material through the free contest analysis. We reply with what the rules allow, which channels fit, and a written quote before any work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Can you promote my NFT or hackathon entry if the contest uses a wallet vote?
Yes, provided the rules allow outside promotion. We explain the wallet steps to supporters, show what a signature screen looks like and remind them to finish. We do not create wallets, split holdings or help anyone get around a one-wallet-one-vote rule, and we never ask for a seed phrase or private key.
Do you pay supporters in tokens to vote?
No. We do not design schemes that pay people for votes, because most contest rules treat that as interfering with the result and an organizer can remove the entry. If the organizer's own rules allow a reward, we describe it exactly as the rules do and disclose it. Our work is attention, clear steps and reminders.
Will you talk about our token's price or returns?
Never. Our posts are about the project, the people and the vote. We do not discuss price, profit, returns or targets, in ads or in creator briefs. Where a contest requires you to describe your token, we use one neutral sentence about what it does in the product and nothing about what it might be worth.
Can crypto contests be advertised on social platforms at all?
Often, but with conditions. Several ad platforms restrict crypto-related advertising or ask for approval first, and the policies change. We read the current policy before building an ad set and write ads about the entry itself. If a platform declines, we switch to consented community outreach and disclosed creator posts.
How are creator posts for a Web3 contest disclosed?
Every creator post we arrange carries the platform's paid-partnership label or a plain statement near the start that it is sponsored. We put this in the creator brief and check the posts after they go live. If a creator removes the label, we ask for a correction or pull the post from the report.
What does promotion of a Web3 contest entry cost?
There are two parts: the ad budget, paid to the platform, and our fee for planning, creative, outreach and reporting. The fee depends on channels, countries, campaign length and creative volume, so we quote on request and confirm in writing before work starts. The budget planner guide shows how a range is built.
Can you promise our project a top place in the vote?
No. We promise the agreed work: the plan, the launch, disclosure, daily reports and honest projections. Rankings depend on other entrants, the voters and the contest's rules, none of which we control. We will tell you early if the field looks crowded and recommend how much effort is sensible.
