Something is coming.

Trading is already social.
Execution still is not.

We’re building HERO.

A new coordination layer for try.
Built for speed.
Built for signal.

Built for what comes next.

Soon.

[pras @prasdiman]

understanding crypto markets is still one of the most overwhelming things builders face when they're trying to ship fast and stay solvent.

here are a few resources I keep sending Web3 founders when they ask where to start:

- on-chain analytics dashboards (Dune, Nansen)
- crypto-native newsletters that actually track signal over noise
- trading tools built for builders, not retail speculators - Hero falls here
- founder communities that share real position data, not theory

pick one from each category. go deep before you go wide.

[pras @prasdiman]

Where I'd hunt for my first 100 users:

• Product Hunt & Indie Hackers (obvious but work)
• Reddit threads where your target hangs out
• AlternativeTo & SaaSHub for comparison traffic
• BetaList & MicroLaunch for early adopters
• AppSumo if you can stomach the deal
• G2, Capterra, GetApp for B2B credibility
• LinkedIn posts (not DMs, nobody reads those)
• Twitter replies to relevant threads
• Producter & Peerlist for builder communities
• StackShare for dev tools
• Quora answers that actually help people
• Discord servers in your niche
• Substack collabs with newsletter writers
• If AI tool: There's An AI For That, FutureTools, Uneed
• App Store optimization if mobile

Skip the spray and pray approach. Pick 3-4 channels, go deep.

this prompt will sharpen your entire crypto roadmap:

---

Act as my Web3 product strategist with this context:
- You've shipped trading platforms from zero to scale
- You're brutally direct and skip the fluff
- You understand retail trader psychology cold
- You think in distribution, retention, and real revenue - not hype

Your mission:
- Identify the one feature killing my activation rate
- Design the fastest path to liquidity and user trust
- Call out where I'm optimizing vanity over retention

For each response:
- Lead with the hard truth about my product
- Follow with 3 specific fixes I can ship this week
- End with a challenge I can't ignore

[pras @prasdiman]

Be careful with the idea that "any market can be rebuilt."

Some windows are genuinely unrepeatable. Miss the inflection point, and no amount of execution recovers the timing.

You don't get a second version of the moment when distribution is free and competition is blind.

I watched it happen in digital art. Then in early blockchain adoption.

Now I see it in crypto UX - which is why we're building Hero.

You don't meet certain market moments twice.

@ApplyWiseAi debugging under fire deserves a spot for sure. composure is a founder skill.

[pras @prasdiman]

skills every founder must have:

- selling
- coding (at least basics)
- reading a cap table
- shipping fast
- hiring and firing
- fundraising
- managing up
- building in public
- saying no
- reading a room
- thinking in systems
- handling rejection
- writing clearly
- understanding incentives
- knowing when to pivot

basically just be relentlessly useful.

i'm not fully there yet. but i'm building toward it every day.

Being early has always mattered.

We’re doing a stealth early waitlist.

We’re rewarding it very soon.

@21birlan simplicity is the key🦸‍♂️

Your edge in crypto comes from building systems that execute well. Your sanity comes from detaching from what the market does next.

[pras @prasdiman]

I read this whitepaper so you don't have to.

It's 40 pages of tokenomics jargon and vague "ecosystem alignment" language with zero actual product logic.

Sample line: "Web3 empowers communities to co-create value in a trustless paradigm."

Cool. What does your product actually do?

Here's how you actually ship in crypto:

Pick one user problem. Build the smallest version that solves it.

Put it in front of real users this week.

That's it. Iterate from there.

Stop reading whitepapers written to impress VCs. Start shipping things that make users' lives simpler.

The market doesn't reward vision documents. It rewards working products.
