Avoid critical errors when building your Web3 community

Pitfalls to Avoid in Community Building

Learn from Ben Wellington, Head of Community at Ava Labs

First-time founders often make these critical errors:

  1. Confusing audience with community: Having followers doesn't equal having engaged participants.

  2. Chasing growth without depth: Fast growth without engagement creates an empty ecosystem.

  3. Relying on token incentives for loyalty: Airdrops rarely create lasting engagement.

  4. Neglecting real-world connections: In-person relationships strengthen online interactions and improve conflict resolution.

  5. Failing to automate onboarding: Without verification bots and welcome systems, spam can quickly overwhelm and drive away genuine members.
