a16z: What new, unique metrics do crypto projects need?

a16z: What new, unique metrics do crypto projects need?

By Maggie Hsu Compiled by: TechFlow How do you measure the success and growth of a crypto protocol or product? In Web2, marketers have a variety of strategies for measuring success. In crypto, however, marketing strategies are still being developed, particularly across Layer 1, Layer 2, and protocols. Some metrics aren't yet available, some are less relevant, and many require rethinking for blockchain-specific metrics. I’ve spoken with many growth and marketing leaders, and they all have different dashboards. This is normal because the definition of growth for an L1 or L2 is different than for a DeFi protocol, wallet, or game. Let’s explore these differences more broadly: The growth of both L1 and L2 is closely tied to the user and developer communities. We can measure success by looking at Monthly Active Addresses (MAAs) for L1 and L2, as well as the number of applications people are building on them. Growth in MAAs while not significantly increasing applications could simply indicate the presence of a few popular or less popular apps; ideally, both should grow in lockstep. In this scenario, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) becomes more of a marketing engine for the community, in addition to promoting the protocol itself. The fundamental growth metrics for a protocol are user numbers, transaction volume, and Total Value Locked (TVL)—the total value of assets deposited in the protocol's smart contracts—or Total Value Secured (TVS)—the total value of assets secured by the protocol. While TVL is a controversial metric, it can provide a general understanding of a protocol's growth when combined with the other metrics discussed below. One founder shared that they also calculate a "cost of capital" for "active TVL," which is the ratio between the amount of rewards they need to provide to achieve a certain amount of locked value and the resulting fees or locked value. Growth in infrastructure and other software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses is often tied to the growth of individual products. For example, developer platform Alchemy focuses on customer and revenue growth within each product line, similar to what we see in traditional SaaS companies. More specifically, focusing on the percentage of recurring revenue retained by existing customers, or gross revenue retention rate (GRR), indicates that a product is sticky and has a stable customer base, which is crucial for measuring recurring revenue. Net revenue retention rate (NRR) also accounts for upsells and reflects the ability to increase revenue from the existing customer base. Wallet and Games growth also looks more traditional (similar to the SaaS example above), but here it focuses on measuring overall usage and revenue using the following metrics: Daily Active Addresses (DAA), the number of unique addresses active on the network each day Daily Transacting Users (DTU), which is the number of unique addresses conducting revenue-generating transactions on the network (a subset of DAAs) Average revenue per user (ARPU), the revenue generated from a user or customer during a specific period However, if a token is involved, then token price and holder distribution will be affected, but even these metrics depend on your goals. For example, do you want a large number of small token holders, or a small number of whales? This depends on the category, stage, and strategy of your product or service, and you need to choose the appropriate measurement metrics. So, how do you build a company-specific metrics dashboard? Here are some potential metrics suggestions, along with their placement in the marketing funnel to provide further insights. Ultimately, you need to decide what to measure, how to weigh the importance of each metric, and how to act on the data... Core indicators: What matters? Metrics like Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Customer Lifetime Value (LTV), and Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) are core to understanding the success and efficiency of your customer acquisition efforts (we’ll define these metrics below). While these concepts are widely accepted in traditional SaaS, they require some adjustments in the crypto space, as “customer” often refers to a “wallet,” and the form of value creation differs. Below, we’ll redefine these metrics and explore their unique nuances in the crypto space. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Customer acquisition cost (CAC) is the total cost of acquiring a customer and can be measured in a few different ways: Broadly speaking, blended customer acquisition cost (CAC) is calculated by dividing your total customer acquisition costs by the total number of new customers. It tells you the average price you paid for each new customer across all channels—including not only acquisition costs but also organic growth costs (which can make it difficult to see which specific growth strategies are driving results). Paid CAC, on the other hand, focuses solely on customers acquired through paid marketing. Too often, teams invest in paid marketing without measuring its effectiveness. Paid CAC reflects the cost of acquiring these customers and whether a particular marketing campaign is truly effective. This is particularly important to measure in the cryptocurrency space, as we've seen early on that many teams get distracted by paid rewards and fail to understand what their product actually does. What counts as “costs”? When calculating CAC, costs may include advertising spend, sponsorships, development of marketing collateral, quest token incentives (on platforms like Galaxe, Layer3, or Coinbase Quests), and airdrops to target wallets. Who counts as a “customer”? In this context, “customer” could mean a “user” or a “developer”; for example, a brand new wallet transacting on a protocol could be considered a customer of that protocol. Lifetime Value (LTV) and Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) Lifetime Value (LTV) represents the present value of a customer's future net profits over the life of the relationship. LTV essentially measures the return a customer gets after becoming a customer, including the amount they spend on your product. LTV itself is a complex calculation and concept. In the cryptocurrency world, it doesn't always translate directly, as "users" aren't always like traditional "customers." For example, they might be anonymous wallets, or a single user might hold multiple wallets. Therefore, LTV might reflect a single wallet's contribution to the total value locked (TVL), which refers to the total USD value of assets held in the protocol's smart contracts, as we've already discussed. For DeFi protocols, TVL can provide a snapshot of the “current total assets,” while LTV can help answer “the value of a specific wallet to the protocol over its lifetime.” LTV:CAC ratio Customer lifetime value (LTV) is often used to assess the initial customer acquisition cost (CAC) and the "value" of that customer over time. The LTV:CAC ratio provides insight into the cost-effectiveness of acquiring new customers by comparing the value they bring to the table with the cost of acquiring them. For traditional SaaS products, a 3:1 ratio is considered reasonable because it means that the value you create from a customer is three times the cost of acquiring the customer, and the remaining profit can be reinvested in growth. In the cryptocurrency space, we have not yet established such a benchmark. In the cryptocurrency space, other acquisition incentives, such as airdrops or points, also need to be considered when evaluating LTV:CAC ratios, as they can be misleading. Ideally, these incentives help attract users to the product and help them get started, but when users like the product enough, it can continue to grow even without the incentives—in which case CAC will decrease and LTV will increase, improving the LTV:CAC ratio. Here’s a quick summary of the key metrics we outlined in the article and how they apply to our thinking in the crypto space: Taken together, these metrics provide a foundation for measuring how effectively your growth marketing efforts are engaging users at different stages of the marketing funnel, while also accounting for the cost of those efforts. Analyzing the Growth Funnel in the Crypto Field After identifying the core metrics, the next step is to map them to the marketing funnel from top to bottom. It’s important to note that while the crypto growth marketing funnel differs from the traditional Web2 funnel, the differences primarily stem from crypto-specific marketing strategies, behavioral characteristics, and unique opportunities at each stage, such as on-chain activity, token incentives, and community-driven dynamics. Next, we’ll explore each stage of the funnel, analyzing key strategies and metrics, and how they differ in crypto and Web2… Awareness/Lead Generation Whether it’s traditional channels or cryptocurrency, the first stage of the marketing funnel is to increase brand awareness. Even in the cryptocurrency field, increasing brand awareness is a prerequisite for everything that follows. At this stage, you'll also begin measuring customer acquisition cost (CAC). "Reach" (the number of unique individuals who see your content) should also be a core metric. Reach is particularly important when evaluating the success of mass marketing channels like press, media, and public relations. The challenge at this stage is distinguishing short-term spikes in attention from truly "sticky" interest: Are users simply curious, or are they genuinely interested in using the product? Beyond core acquisition metrics, the channels you use to find new users each have their own advantages, risks, and unique nuances to the crypto landscape: Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and Influencers Paying a random influencer or KOL with a large audience may seem like a reliable way to generate awareness, but it often fails to generate meaningful engagement, especially when the influencer has no authentic connection to the project and their audience doesn’t resonate with it. However, there's value in partnering with influencers who align with the project's philosophy and can share their excitement in a credible way. Consider "micro-influencers"—more niche, targeted voices whose audiences trust them—or even local influencers, such as experts within your team who have already established a strong personal presence. Claire Kart, CMO of Aztec, a privacy-focused L2 company, is a prime example. She not only works internally with influencers but also actively seeks out emerging influencers, connects with them organically, and brings them into the Aztec ecosystem. advertise Advertising in the crypto space faces a host of challenges. For example, due to vague and ever-changing policies regarding crypto advertising, many crypto companies are unable to run ad campaigns on traditional platforms like Google or Meta. Furthermore, the crypto community is wary of traditional advertising, as similar ad formats are sometimes exploited by scammers to direct users to malicious websites. Crypto marketers have had more success promoting specific apps on X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, or the Apple App Store. They can also consider alternatives such as Brave browser ads, Spindl ads within the Coinbase/Base app, or MiniApps and sponsored posts on Farcaster, or even optimize for prompts and incorporate them into AI search answers. Referral and affiliate marketing The concept behind referral programs is the same as traditional marketing: when someone signs up through your referral, you earn a reward. The difference in cryptocurrency is that rewards can be sent instantly and verified directly on-chain, aligning incentives and making the entire process smoother. Projects like Blackbird demonstrate how on-chain referrals can develop into compounding network effects through ongoing loyalty programs and community engagement, rather than just a one-time customer acquisition campaign. Word-of-mouth is one of the most powerful growth drivers in crypto: for consumer-facing products, adoption is often driven by referrals, where users recommend a product to other users because they enjoy the experience and find it valuable. For infrastructure projects, referrals often come from existing customers and developers. Measuring word-of-mouth growth can be done by simply tracking the Net Promoter Score (NPS) or by directly surveying new users after they sign up or complete an onboarding session to see if they were referred and by whom. In this sense, referrals are like an inverted, bottom-up marketing funnel: users don’t just stay at the conversion stage, but instead reintroduce new potential users to the top of the funnel. Early users become evangelists, bringing more people into the network (and potentially being rewarded for their contributions), thus keeping the growth flywheel spinning. A note on accuracy: Accurately measuring growth from real users/customers versus bots is a problem across industries, particularly in social media. Cryptocurrencies offer unique identity primitives, such as "proof of humanness" via World ID or zero-knowledge proofs (via zkPassport), that can distinguish real users from bots or airdrop scammers. Growth teams can leverage these primitives not only to build Sybil resistance against community growth mechanisms like airdrops, but also to better understand real users and help plan product retention. The power of the growing network Finally, one of the unique growth drivers of cryptocurrency is its token, which is often the best way to attract users, developers, and liquidity to markets that traditionally struggle to overcome cold start issues. However, this isn't just about speculation: more importantly, when a token's price rises, it can attract new users who want to participate in a particular movement or development. Developers also take notice, as a rising price signals an active community and genuine demand, making the platform more attractive. Consideration/Interest The next stage in the traditional marketing funnel is consideration, which is when a potential customer becomes actively interested in a product and is evaluating and comparing it to other products. In the cryptocurrency space, this is particularly important, as every decision—from purchasing tokens to ordering a hardware wallet—typically requires significant education, as cryptocurrency remains a relatively new (and often complex) industry for both users and developers. Providing users with the right information to help them make decisions and weigh competing products or platforms can have a huge impact. This is why companies from Coinbase to Alchemy are investing in educational content for both consumers and developers. Effective educational content goes beyond detailing a product’s features and benefits, and also covers how the product works (e.g., security, custody, community and treasury governance, token economics, etc.). Developers may need in-depth technical documentation and tutorials, while consumers often require explanatory content (e.g., before transferring real funds between wallets or blockchains). User education via email during key processes (such as product registration or purchase), in-product prompts and tooltips, interactive onboarding, and product trials or “testnet” setups to demonstrate and experience features before committing to transferring assets are all standard tools. Companies are also starting to optimize their educational content to fit large language models (LLMs) so that when someone asks a question, the company’s content can be retrieved. Successful teams measure interest not only through clicks or downloads, but also through intermediate actions users take, such as joining a wallet's waitlist or adding a small deposit to test functionality, to demonstrate trust and intent. However, understanding the success of these efforts depends on the channels chosen, as each channel has its own set of metrics. Ultimately, however, you need to map these metrics to some kind of conversion, as we'll cover below. conversion Conversion is the stage in the marketing funnel where users complete their desired behavior. At this stage, users have been attracted, engaged, and informed, ultimately taking the action you want them to take. As a metric, "conversion rate" is a broad term: in traditional marketing, it might refer to the number of customers who purchased a product, users who signed up for a demo, or people who requested to speak with a sales team. In crypto, conversions can also include wallet downloads, token purchases, or even code deployments on a platform. The specifics of what constitutes a conversion depend on your product and goals, but accurately defining conversion metrics is crucial for developing the best measurement methods. Tracking conversions across marketing channels (e.g., wallet downloads driven by offline events) is crucial. Understanding which sources drive results can help teams optimize budget allocation, messaging, and more. Accurately measuring conversions also relies on attribution mechanisms, which are particularly complex in the crypto space, especially since the user journey between traditional websites, social networks, and on-chain behavior (for example, from off-chain to on-chain behavior or vice versa) is difficult to accurately track. Web tracking tools like Google Tag Manager can track website conversions, while new tools for wallet users like Addressable can bridge the gap between off-chain advertising and on-chain behavior, allowing teams to track on-chain behavior from websites or Web2 ads. However, the user journey is often not linear; for example, a user may first see a post on X, attend an offline event, and then make their first transaction. While attribution in the crypto space has historically been difficult, improved analytical tools are enabling teams to gain a more comprehensive understanding of growth. While many people maintain multiple wallets, advancements in analytical technology are enabling the ability to match multiple wallets to a single user, allowing on-chain activity to be linked to specific users. As privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, cookie restrictions, etc.) make Web2 attribution more difficult, the transparency of on-chain data offers advantages while also protecting user identities. Post-conversion engagement In traditional marketing funnels, the engagement/interest stage typically measures product interactions before purchase. These interactions are how users gain a better understanding of the product and brand, and are a crucial stage in converting initial interest into loyal engagement. In the crypto marketing funnel, post-conversion user engagement is equally important, encompassing both online and offline, on-chain and off-chain behavior. This not only provides insights into how to retain users, but also how to maintain the overall health of the community, regardless of where users are located. For example, online engagement (which we also cover in our social media guide) can include metrics like: Engagement on Discord or other forums/chat platforms Activity on X (formerly Twitter) Sentiment analysis on social channels User participation in governance or voting While many crypto marketers still rely on traditional social listening tools, these traditional methods need to be adapted for the crypto sector. For example, sentiment tracking can provide a directional understanding of community sentiment toward a project, but it shouldn't be the sole basis for decision-making. Sentiment tracking can help teams identify active contributors and key influencers and assess the effectiveness of messaging. However, the crypto community is fragmented across multiple platforms, and the quality and depth of metrics vary. A small number of highly active accounts can have an outsized influence, resulting in a high level of data noise. In addition to sentiment tracking tools, some teams use other social media monitoring tools (such as Fedica) to track and reward user engagement. For example, they can identify contributors who amplify content, create memes, participate in discussions, and generally inject energy into the community. However, it's important to note that incentivized campaigns are susceptible to manipulation: certain incentives may attract those who prioritize rewards over the project itself, potentially leading to short-term community activity but lack of sustainability in the long term. Crypto marketing can still achieve meaningful organic growth through unincentivized or non-paid methods. For example, this can be achieved through a strategy that interweaves different types of content. Eco, a stablecoin liquidity layer, employed an organic content strategy based on the "4-1-1 principle": publishing four educational pieces of content about its market opportunity; one piece of "soft sell" content (e.g., a third-party endorsement); and one piece of "hard sell" content (e.g., "Use our product"); and repeating this cycle every few hours for seven days. Through this organic publishing strategy alone, combined with leveraging major product announcements and co-marketing campaigns, Eco increased its total monthly impressions by nearly 600%. Offline engagement (such as attending conferences or events) also plays a key role in helping users engage through deeper connections. Traditionally, these activities have been measured by collecting email addresses to expand mailing lists (e.g., by scanning attendee QR codes). More sophisticated tools include tagging giveaways with NFC chips (e.g., through IYK) and running campaigns to encourage users to click or scan them. Online platforms (such as Discord or Towns) provide dedicated spaces for ongoing interaction and relationship building. Teams can track the number of user interactions (posts, likes, replies) over a period of time and analyze the quality and sentiment of these interactions. Retention Retention answers a key question: "Who's staying?" Retention can be measured as the percentage of users who complete an on-chain action after a set period of time, or more broadly, as a measure of ongoing user activity. Retention is calculated by dividing the number of existing users at the end of a given period by the number of users at the beginning of that period. If you're measuring mailing list subscribers or wallet downloads, retention isn't tracking initial signups, but rather users who remain active over time. Common retention metrics include returning users or daily active addresses over time. In the cryptocurrency space, retention metrics must account for the tension between "long-term" and "short-term" behavior, given the powerful token mechanics and behaviors involved. For example, a surge in airdrop users at launch might look like growth, but once the rewards cease, many will leave. This is why it's important to define your "ideal" user and measure retention relative to that group, rather than just the raw total number of users. This is also why it's important to measure product metrics—both intrinsic to the product itself and organic interest in it—so as to avoid confusing what's working with what's not, especially if your product hasn't yet achieved product-market fit. Otherwise, you might think you've found product-market fit when you haven't; that is, people's interest isn't in your product, but in the rewards. Retention naturally drives customer lifetime value (LTV) as well, as the longer users stay, the more they spend or transact. This not only increases their LTV but also leads to a more desirable LTV:CAC ratio. Churn Churn is the opposite of retention and measures how many users are lost during their lifetime and when. Churn rate is calculated by dividing the number of users who churned at the end of a time period by the total number of users at the beginning of that period and expressing it as a percentage. In crypto, an alternative metric for churn (although it doesn't map perfectly to traditional churn metrics) is the percentage of wallets that become inactive after a certain period of time. For example, users may sign up for a wallet through a marketing campaign or cycle, but then never use it again. Some of these users may re-engage at some point in the future, but the key to calculating churn is identifying active, frequently engaged, and returning users, rather than "dormant" users who have only performed a single on-chain action. Tools like Safary can monitor user interactions with decentralized applications (dApps) and help identify friction points that lead to user churn, such as high transaction fees, a complex user experience, or the need to complete multiple onboarding steps. For example, when Solana released its Seeker phone, some users requested a pre-funded wallet (similar to the earlier Saga phone) to reduce initial friction. The need to manually top up funds before making transactions could slow adoption. While Solana has transitioned to dApp rewards after users receive the phone, reducing friction in the onboarding process remains crucial. To mitigate churn, leverage funnel tracking and user cohort targeting platforms that support crypto-specific user engagement (such as Absolute Labs' Wallet Relationship Management). These tools allow teams to create custom user segments and re-engage them through Web2 channels and crypto-native strategies like targeted airdrops. Furthermore, direct messaging to wallets via secure decentralized messaging tools like XMTP can provide timely, personalized reminders to encourage users to return and continue engaging. Wallet share Another way to track churn and retention is to look at "wallet share": the proportion of total spending in a category that customers allocate to your product or service. In the crypto space, this concept can be applied very intuitively. By analyzing the composition of wallets, teams can see the types of assets held, the amount, and the direction of activity. If users stop interacting with your protocol, on-chain data can reveal whether they are switching to competitors. Of course, as protocol products and services become more complex, the reasons for user migration can become more difficult to determine. But if you observe user behavior shifting toward a competitor or another product with unique features, this can reveal important information. Similarly, if many of your token holders also hold tokens from a related project, this could present opportunities for joint marketing—for example, partnering with that project to host a joint event or giving away your tokens to its token holders. General analytics tools like Dune, a crypto data hub, enable this type of analysis, while more specialized platforms can provide deeper insights into specific tokens. Since most users have multiple wallets, it's also important to link them to a single end-user identity; on-chain analytics tools like Nansen can provide wallet tags across multiple chains, enabling more accurate wallet share analysis. Growth measurement in the crypto space isn't about simply replicating Web2 approaches. Instead, it's about adapting effective strategies, discarding ineffective ones, and building a new framework around the unique advantages of blockchain. Given the diversity of crypto products, from L1 to gaming, each team's growth dashboard will be different. But data doesn’t tell the whole story. Ultimately, quantitative metrics are only part of the story: there’s no substitute for a deep understanding of your audience and users through qualitative insights. The conversations within your community (whether they’re discussions about your project or simple memes and vibes), the energy felt at events, and even a gut feeling about what’s working and what’s not, all play an important role in guiding your growth strategy. In the early stages, the actions of a few core users may be more valuable than those of the rest. These qualitative signals are often the earliest signs of product-market fit. The best crypto growth strategies are a balance of data and intuition, combining short-term tactics to spark excitement with long-term strategies to build a stronger community.

PEPE & Polygon Outlook While BlockDAG’s Partnerships and Live Demo Lead 2025 Growth

The post PEPE & Polygon Outlook While BlockDAG’s Partnerships and Live Demo Lead 2025 Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 03:00 Explore PEPE facing a price drop & Polygon’s surge. Read about BlockDAG’s $406M presale, 3M+ users, sports deals & X1 & X10 live demo. Is it the top crypto to buy? Market movements in 2025 continue to show stark contrasts between speculative tokens and adoption-driven projects. PEPE has once again seen volatility, with its price dropping after a major whale offload, raising questions about its staying power. Polygon (POL), by contrast, has recorded a notable price surge, supported by strong fundamentals and growing adoption. Both remain part of investor discussions around the top crypto to buy, but their long-term outlooks differ significantly. BlockDAG (BDAG) is carving its own path. Its $0.0013 flat price until October 1 has pushed presale past $406 million, with 26.2 billion coins sold and 312,000 holders on board. BlockDAG is seeing whale entries above $4 million, as partnerships with the Seattle Seawolves and Orcas are boosting the project’s visibility. PEPE Price Drop Raises Doubts PEPE has been under renewed pressure after a significant whale offloaded more than $4.8 million worth of tokens, leading to a sharp decline. This PEPE price drop illustrates how vulnerable memecoins remain to large holder activity. While PEPE still outperforms its sector overall, its volatility highlights the risks investors face when sentiment drives the market more than adoption. The PEPE price drop has shifted investor focus toward more stable projects with measurable foundations. Although short-term rallies remain possible, PEPE’s dependence on speculative enthusiasm makes it less reliable for those seeking the top crypto to buy. Without structural adoption or stronger use cases, its sustainability will remain under scrutiny. For now, PEPE continues to generate discussion but remains a high-risk, sentiment-driven token that illustrates the challenges of long-term value in the memecoin sector. Polygon Price Surge…

Digital Asset Treasuries See Stunning $25 Billion Inflow, Ethereum Dominates

Digital Asset Treasuries See Stunning $25 Billion Inflow, Ethereum Dominates

BitcoinWorld Digital Asset Treasuries See Stunning $25 Billion Inflow, Ethereum Dominates A remarkable financial shift is underway in the crypto world, with a stunning $25 billion pouring into Digital Asset Treasuries during the third quarter of this year alone. This massive influx signals growing confidence and strategic positioning within the digital economy. What’s truly noteworthy? Ethereum (ETH) is leading the charge, capturing more than half of these investments. What’s Fueling the Surge in Digital Asset Treasuries? The significant capital flow into Digital Asset Treasuries reflects a maturing crypto landscape. Crypto market insights platform Unfolded recently reported this impressive growth, highlighting a trend where businesses and institutions are increasingly holding cryptocurrencies as part of their balance sheets. But what exactly are Digital Asset Treasuries? Simply put, these are organized holdings of cryptocurrencies by corporations, institutions, or even high-net-worth individuals, often managed with specific financial goals in mind, such as diversification, inflation hedging, or yield generation. Several factors contribute to this growing interest: Institutional Adoption: More traditional financial players are exploring crypto, viewing it as a legitimate asset class. Search for Yield: In a low-interest-rate environment, crypto offers innovative ways to generate returns through staking, lending, and DeFi protocols. Inflation Hedging: Some perceive cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, as a hedge against inflation, similar to gold. Market Maturity: The infrastructure around digital assets, including custodial services and regulatory frameworks, is continuously improving, making it safer for larger entities to participate. This evolving environment provides a compelling reason for entities to allocate funds to digital assets. Why Did Ethereum (ETH) Capture So Much of the Digital Asset Treasuries? The report from Unfolded revealed that a staggering 54% ($13.5 billion) of the Q3 inflow into Digital Asset Treasuries was allocated to Ethereum (ETH). This dominance is not accidental; it underscores Ethereum’s critical role in the broader crypto ecosystem. Ethereum’s robust network underpins a vast array of decentralized applications (dApps), including: Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Ethereum remains the backbone for most DeFi protocols, offering services like lending, borrowing, and decentralized exchanges.
