Mission
Our Goal is to increase the money velocity of the NEAR ecosystem.
- Increase Wallets
- Increase Tokens
- Increase NFT creation
- Increase the Velocity of tokens and NFT’s in wallets
We will use a data-driven approach to quantify and qualify our ideas and experiments.
Creating sustainable growth pathways by:
- Developing a strong growth community
- Building data-driven infrastructure (in partnership with the NEAR Data Center & AwesomeNear)
- Deploying growth experiments
- Analyzing results and publishing learnings
Values
Creativity
Growth is about discovering new pathways to reach & engage customers. Members should be comfortable sharing what they would build based on a combination of untested hypotheses, gut feelings, and their observations in the market. New ideas will then be combined in a “yes and” fashion that encourages newcomers and veterans alike to collaborate and further define which ideas deserve to be tested.
Communication
Test often, fail fast, make decisions with data, get 10% better every week. When an experiment doesn’t hit its goals, we only fail if we don’t understand what went wrong, communicate our learnings publicly, and improve the next experiment based on new information.
All-In Attitude
When the data says an experiment is performing well, we triple down, to fully capture the opportunity before competitors learn the secret and our advantage disappears.
Resilience
Many experiments will fail based on unknown unknowns. The ability to learn from mistakes and fail forward while keeping momentum is an important mindset. We make decisions based on data, when the data says an idea isn’t performing, we don’t self negotiate to save ideas we love, we gracefully let go. We love results.

Vision
Our goal is to win when the projects in the NEAR ecosystem win. We will operate like an investment fund or foundation. We’ll build open source marketing and analytics tools available to any project. We will also provide additional campaign support (and tooling customization) to ecosystem projects, in exchange for tokens or other incentives. This model will align our success with the success of the projects we serve and ensure the guilds sustainable growth indefinitely.
Our initial push into open source marketing and analytics tools will focus on the creation of the following assets:
-
A Growth Marketing playbook that outlines all of the products in and tangential to the NEAR ecosystem that can be used in marketing campaigns. If you have tools you’d like to see included please drop them in our telegram group.
-
Referral program tools that make it easy to reward individuals who bring friends into the ecosystem. Check out this tool: Designed my NEAR, made by the Minerall Guild.
-
Categorize NEAR user personas, understand the CAC and LTV of the consumers in the ecosystem, so dApps can double down on the acquisition channels that are working and increase spend.
Campaign support for projects will include
-
Test campaigns across the 19 traction channels to find sustainable pathways to acquire crypto natives from other chains and non-crypto audiences.
-
Advise community projects on how to improve their product onboarding experiences, so users understand the value proposition of the product and reach its magic moment in as few steps as possible.
