Complexity

Blockchain technology is still in its early stages, and there are a variety of different projects currently underway. Each blockchain project has its own unique characteristics, and the overall complexity can vary significantly.


For example, some blockchain projects may only involve a few hundred nodes, while others may involve tens of thousands. Additionally, blockchain projects can also differ in terms of the algorithms used, the type of data that is stored, and the degree of decentralization.


Increase of Web3 Developers

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, it is likely that the complexity of blockchain projects will continue to increase. However, with the right team and planning, even the most complex blockchain projects can be successfully completed.


Fundraising Ability

If you're working on a web3 project, one of the most important things you can do is to invest in your ability to raise funding.


While there are a number of ways to finance a web3 project (including self-funding, grants, and decentralized finance), fundraising is still one of the most important sources of capital for many projects. And while it can be difficult to raise funding, it's essential to invest in your team's ability to do so.

How To Get A Better Price Developing an NFT Project

Getting an Investment as Leverage

By getting an investor prior to developing your NFT project, you can present this to the agency and it will provide more assurance that they are working with a credible, funded and project with outside interest, that they will be more willing to give you more suitable offer to conduct business.


Monetary Value of your Investment

You might think that it would mean that they [Web3 Projects] would charge more for their services or using leverage as they are investors with money to spend.


However, in the early Web3 space, making partnerships are more valuable that making quicker money. Not all agencies, but we are one of them.


The Importance of Finding Investors in Web3

There are a number of reasons why fundraising is so important for web3 projects. First, because many web3 projects are still in the early stages of development, they often lack the revenue streams that more established businesses have.


This means that they rely heavily on outside investment to fund their operations and growth. Second, because web3 projects are often working on groundbreaking and innovative technologies, they often need significant capital to hire the best talent and develop their products.


Investors Using Innovation as Opportunity

Finally, because many web3 projects are working towards ambitious goals that could potentially have a huge impact on the world, they often need significant funding to make their vision a reality.


So if you're working on a web3 project, don't forget to invest in your ability to raise funding. It could be the difference between your project succeeding or failing.

Social Proof

People are social creatures. We like to do what other people are doing. It feels safest that way. When everyone is jumping off a bridge, the idea of doing so becomes a lot less scary. The same principle applies to investing in web3 projects.


When credible people with a good track record invest in something, it provides social proof that the project is worth considering. This can act as a signal to others that the project has merit and is worth investigating further.


Of course, social proof is not the only factor that should be considered when making an investment decision, but it can be a helpful indicator of whether a project is worth pursuing.


Using Social Proof As Leverage

If you have a project worth pursuing, the chances you have more leverage in the pricing of your Web3 project increase dramatically.


The higher chance you have of being able to sell your project with less marketing requirements (Social Proof, Influencers), the higher chance you can find a team to develop your project that will give you more lenience on the final development and/or marketing costs.

Credibility

There is a lot of noise in the crypto space. So how do you know which projects are credible? The web3 ecosystem is still relatively young and immature, so it's important to be completely transparent, and have credible resources and references so your traffic can do their own research before investing in your project.


Here are a few things NFT buyers look for when determining if a project is credible:


Does the project have a clear roadmap and vision?

  1. Does the team have the right vision?
  2. Does the project have the right strategy?
  3. Is the project viable?
  4. Is there a need for this project?

Does the team have experience in the space?

  1. What is the team's background in this space?
  2. Does the team have relevant experience is relative industries?
  3. Does the project have a budget?

Are there any major red flags?

  1. Is the team doxxed?
  2. Does the project have a secure website domain?
  3. Is the team willing to reveal their identity to at least the web3 agency?
  4. Is the team able to answer questions about their background consistently?


Of course, even credible projects can fail, so it's important to diversify your portfolio and not invest more than you can afford to lose. But by being selective and doing your due diligence, you can increase your chances of finding web3 projects that have real potential.
