ALONE WE GO FASTER. TOGETHER WE GO FURTHER.

9 min readMar 12, 2022

When you ask people what originally attracted them to Web3 and crypto, different answers come up: accessing financial freedom, building on new innovative technology, proving true digital ownership, etc. Whether you are an artist, a developer, an investor or just having fun in the space, there is always that one same unifying reason we all stay and love the space so much: Community.

We hear it all the time « I’m blown away by the community and community spirit ».

Everyone is ready to help, educate and most importantly take time to onboard newcomers. The magic here is that community doesn’t end at the users, it’s also felt and lived between protocols and DAOs. In the traditional world, companies and brands craft elaborate partnership plans that can take months of negotiations, in Web 3 they just do it. DAOs and protocols get together and build together, once again thinking on how they can give back and give more to their communities. That’s where we come in, at Galxe our mission is to help Web 3 projects build better products and engage their communities through our several NFT application modules.

That got us thinking How could we partner up with leading protocols and host an on-chain event that would reward users and merge communities together? The answer : “2022 is gonna be SOL Cool” event.

Initiated by Galxe and powered by Solana, the “2022 is gonna be SOL Cool” event was an inclusive multi-chain campaign that brought together protocols in one massive campaign. Galxe infrastructure helped 27 different protocols reach their marketing growth goals through the joint “2022 is gonna be SOL Cool” campaign. The campaign also attracted attention and eyes on the Solana ecosystem as a whole.

Overall, we helped grow the Solana ecosystem with over 33,400 new users joining the campaign with each unique user trying an average of 5 protocols on Solana and 4,826 users completed 10 or more tasks from different partners.

Galxe team couldn’t be happier to see our partners succeed and grow with this campaign!
