Mercle is now building a proof of personhood solution. But it was not always building this. Being one of the core/early employees, I can lay out the journey.

Not offchain Discord/Twitter shitshow. We brought liquidity for protocols. Locked in clients like XION, Linea, Movement Labs, Vaultcraft. Users received more than $150,000 as airdrops, company received more than $200,000.

Scaled from 20,000 to 130,000 followers. Was the face of Mercle on Twitter and everywhere. Got viral 3-4 times.

If you ask me a GTM strategy today, I would probably try to sit and trade memecoins all day. Because GTM is not a one-week work, but a series of steps you take to achieve the goal.
One-time revenue-generating campaign. Content creation, KOL onboarding (3-4, organic growth), user feedback loop and UX changes per observing hours of user actions on the app.
Did an NFT-based presale and led GTM for it, helping raise $250K.
Onchain reputation-based review system for pre-TGE and post-TGE projects.
Scaled Discord from 3,000 to 35,000 in 6 months. Though Discord should not even exist in crypto. Twitter is the biggest platform.

Many more things at Mercle. We got viral 3-4 times and it was fun.
