Build your audience in one click
Build your audience in one click

With Subscribe, users can follow and get updates from their favorite creators and projects delivered to the channel of their choice (email, SMS, telegram, and/or direct-to-wallet) as easily as they connect their wallets. For creator and projects, Subscribe makes building and engaging your audience simple with our drop-in component and dashboarding.

No matter if you’re building DAOs, DeFi, NFTs, or analytics providers, the primary channels for communicating with your audience today is Twitter and Discord. We’ve heard again and again from our 30+ partners building across those verticals, that unfortunately, those channels are simply too noisy to deliver timely, personalized announcements that keep their audience engaged and motivate them to take action.

🟣🛠️ Enter Dialect Creator Tools 🛠️🟣

We made building a direct relationship with your community members easy. In 4 simple steps you can integrate our open-source Subscribe front-end component and be set up on the back-end to send out announcements to your community via Telegram, Email, SMS, or directly into their wallets!

Why is this magical for community members?

Community members no longer have to spend hours looking through multiple noisy platforms to find important updates and announcements, or worse — lose them altogether. Get these updates sent straight into your inbox of choice.

All possible by simply clicking “Subscribe”.

👉 No need to create any accounts.

👉 No page redirects.

👉 No authentication hoops.

Simply sign a message with your wallet and it just works 🦄 💫

Build your audience in one click

Why is this magical for projects and creators?

Subscribe is the fastest way to build your web3 audience. On the front-end, just drop a single component into your site, you can start building your community. On the backend, just walk through our dapp setup flow and you’re ready to go. ✅

Subscribe, our front-end component, is platform-agnostic: any dapp or site can host Subscribe. And Subscribe’s functionality is not limited to the main site it is hosted on — any aggregator, marketplace, or explorer could setup subscribe for all collections, artists, DAOs, or dapps on their site. In the same way you can receive emails not just from Substack the company but also from any Substack writer, now you can receive notifications from any aggregator or any project mentioned on their site.

Follow the 3 steps in our docs to integrate the Subscribe button into your dapp (with custom branding to fit your site):

  1. 🔑 Dapp Setup: Create a messaging keypair and register it as a dapp in the Dialect data service.
  2. 💻 UI library Installation: Install a few packages to start adding subscribe functionality to your web dapp.
  3. ✅ Rendering the Subscribe Button: Drop in the Subscribe Button react component on your site!

After registering your dapp via the Dialect SDK, you will be able to broadcast announcements using the Broadcast Creator Tools.

Dialect Dashboard

The Broadcast dashboard lets you craft and send announcements to your audience, all from a whole new kind of web3 SaaS dashboard. From there you can configure the types of announcement you want to send out, style your message with rich media, and then deliver via Telegram, Email, SMS or directly to wallet. 🔈

All sent from your dapp wallet. 🪄

Like all of our tooling — Subscribe is completely open-source and built on Dialect’s fully interoperable messaging standard — the same one that has been powering messaging and dapp notifications across the Solana ecosystem since March. 🛠

No matter the size of your project or audience as an artist — you can integrate the Dialect Subscribe Tools for free.

Do you have a community you want to broadcast messages to? Are you a community member in dire need of feature updates from your favorite dapps? Or questions regarding integrations in general? Come talk to us on Twitter and Discord 😊
