One of the greatest challenges for Web3 builders that are building the future of financial services, digital marketplaces, gaming and more is to learn more about their potential customers. While there are many crypto investors out there — this is not the same profile as real crypto users — people who are onboarded to Web3, and are eager to interact with new applications, dapps, communities and tools on-chain. All too often, the voice of crypto is too heavily dominated by “crypto Twitter”, while speaking to real Web3 end-users and the crypto-curious remains a difficult audience or persona for businesses to reach. Today, we are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between GoodDollar and BlockSurvey, aimed at harnessing the power of GoodDollar’s global, diverse, engaged community of Web3 and crypto users to drive meaningful user research for the Web3 community and beyond.

The GoodDollar Community: The Face of the Future of Web3

The GoodDollar community represents a vibrant and diverse ecosystem of over 750,000 crypto enthusiasts from 181 countries, united by a shared vision of creating positive change and a more free and accessible financial system through decentralized finance (DeFi). First and foremost, GoodDollar members are individuals primarily hailing from underbanked regions and populations, who have onboarded to Web3 to claim a daily share of universal basic income (UBI) on the blockchain. Through GoodDollar’s sign-up flow, every single GoodDollar member and their associated GoodDollar-registered wallet address are confirmed as belonging to a unique and live individuals through passing the GoodDollar sybil-resistance check. All GoodDollar members are individuals who have used non-custodials wallets and used tokens, and many of them are active Web3 users who come back to Web3 day after day to claim their daily crypto UBI, and find more opportunities to earn bonuses through completing user research tasks. Most importantly, these users are pioneers of the Web3 movement, eager to explore new opportunities, earn passive income, explore new Web3 goods and services, and contribute to a more equitable future.
