We Generated 10,000 Wallet Connections via X Ads

A complete case study revealing the exact strategies, tactics, and compliance framework that drove massive user acquisition for a DeFi protocol

The DeFi Marketing Challenge: Quality Users in a Crowded Market 📊

The decentralized finance (DeFi) space has exploded from $1 billion to over $200 billion in total value locked (TVL) within just three years. 📈 But with over 3,000 DeFi protocols competing for attention, user acquisition has become increasingly expensive and complex.

The typical DeFi marketing challenges:

💸 High customer acquisition costs ($150-500 per user)
🎯 Difficulty reaching quality users who understand DeFi
⚖️ Complex regulatory compliance requirements
🔒 Building trust in an industry plagued by hacks and rug pulls
📱 Converting X (Twitter) users into active protocol participants

At Goodwill Ads Agency, we recently partnered with LiquidYield Protocol (name changed for confidentiality), a innovative yield farming platform, to overcome these exact challenges. In 90 days, we generated 10,000+ wallet connections with a 23% conversion rate to active users—all while maintaining strict compliance standards.

Here’s the complete playbook we used to achieve these results. 🎯
