At Hangryfeed, we’ve worked with projects at every stage. You don't always need money; sometimes, you just need creativity.

  1. The "Comparison" Guide: Write a 100% honest, deep-dive comparison between you and your top 3 competitors. Post it on their subreddits. If it's truly objective, it won't be deleted, and you'll siphon their high-intent traffic.
  2. The "Open Source" Bounty: Don't have money for ads? Give away 1% of your token supply to developers who build small "Add-ons" or "Dashboards" for your protocol. Their users become your users.
  3. The Twitter "Alpha" Thread: Distill a complex industry trend into a 10-tweet "Mega-thread." Tag the relevant projects. If it's good, they will retweet it to their thousands of followers.

Conclusion

Constraint breeds creativity. Use these hacks to build momentum before your first big raise.
