Hello fellow Product Hunters! 👋 Today, @david_dico and I are excited to share the Web3 startup that we’ve been steadily building for the past 4 months. It is called EARLY ONES and it is THE market research platform for Web3. 🔍 When launching a new product, it is important to understand your (potential) users and target market. Just as in Web2, when you have an idea for a new product, service, or game, you also have to do market research in Web3. Gather insights through surveys, talk to potential users, and get feedback on your concept or first product. ❌ But in Web3, all the users are (semi-)anonymous and hard to reach. They are a wallet and a PFP. And spread throughout the world. Web2 tactics like using social ads to send people to your survey also don’t work as crypto-related ads are not allowed on the big social platforms. So how can you find these people and let them contribute to what you are building? That is what we want to solve! Introducing EARLY ONES 👀 Connect with verified Web3 users, and build better products by gathering actionable insights through Surveys, Feedback Assignments, Interviews, and Beta tests. ✅ Create your own customized listings to gather all the insights you need. ✅ All users of EARLY ONES are verified Web3 users. We combine on-chain and off-chain data to create a high-quality user identity. Without doxxing them! ✅ Looking for specific types of users like NFT flippers? DeFi experts? Web3 users from Japan? Or only Web3 users between 30-40 years old? We got you covered! Our users can earn crypto rewards by contributing their skills and expertise to listings on our platform. They verify themselves by creating an account with their crypto wallet, connecting social account(s), and adding characteristics to their profile that are generally used in market research. Like location, occupation, birth year, etc. 🚀  Today we are launching phase 2 of our Beta with 25 new listings that we will publish over the next 2 weeks. If you are an avid Web3 user we invite you to join us! 👀 Are you building something new in Web3? Then hit me up via bram@earlyones.co 🙂 We’ll be here all day answering any questions you might have, thanks for checking out EARLY ONES!

@sidra_arif Thanks Sidra!
Jens Wittmeyer
I like the idea. Maybe as first feedback -> add a quick filter for closed submission so someone as ... "clumsy" .... as I doesn't try to apply to an already closed one :D
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@jens_wittmeyer Thanks Jens! It says "Listing closed" on the listing card but will take note of your observation ;)

Congrats on the launch, sounds promising!

@gtsiramua Thanks George!
Jernej Samide
Will this stay as a web application only? Or do you plan to launch a mobile app at some point? Congrats on the launch btw. :) @bramk
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@nuvo Thanks Jernej! Our website is mobile-friendly but as we can not project what type of listings we will have in the future, I think that the desktop experience will be leading. Our listings can be anything from testing out a web platform (that might not be mobile ready yet), to reading a pitch deck on Google Slides, to testing out a mobile app.

David Lo Dico
@dannypostmaa Thanks maat! Very excited :)
Mariam Yusuf
Nice idea! Just wondering what's your criteria for web3 user verification - is it transparent?
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@mariamyusuf_ Thanks! We verify based on certain on-chain data + users have to add other characteristics to their profile aswell.

Nice Product! Congrats @bramk Let's talk about partnership with 0xPlasma

another project for pseudo-crypto influencers who will connect their ens addresses with social networks, for ordinary web3 users this is a useless tool, privacy comes first in this space, to force naive users to collect a meta date from them for a reward, see the last experience of collecting data for 25$ reward from dydx.
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@slava_savini not sure if I understand your reply correctly but we are not targeting crypto influencers. We are targeting any experienced Web3 user to discover new products in Web3 and contribute to them with their expertise and insights.
Slava Savini
@bramk I assume that only influencers in the crypto space will go for this "identity verification" and the formation of their social profile with a bunch of ens. you need to find another way to determine, no one in this space will associate their one wallet with their data, users use a separate wallet for a specific dapp, thus one web3 user has many wallets for a specific task. As a result, you will have exactly the same empty addresses with empty social profiles in order to receive a rewards. It will entail that the projects will not be interested. Look in the direction of the gitcoin. I think you can find a middle ground for it to be private / safe for ordinary users, for example, introducing your nft which can be earned for certain actions can increase the social level within your platform, and not by linking social networks from web2

Super neat way to incentivize getting and receiving feedback! Congrats on the launch, folks! But why limit to only Web3 products?
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@phuctm97 thanks! What are you thinking of outside of Web3 products? You mean Web2?
Archisman Das
Congratulations on the launch. Web3 needs its own userinterviews.com / usertesting.com Love the give feedback and earn crypto approach.
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@archisman_das That's exactly our thought! Thanks for your support :)
