When Web3 Growth Feels “Stuck” — How Do You Audit a Failing Funnel Without Clear Attribution?

Abasi T · 2025-11-07T09:44:09+00:00

I’m leading growth for an early-stage DeFi analytics tool. We’ve plateaued at 1.4K weekly active wallets and can’t pinpoint the drop-off — our mixpanel tracking is weak, and wallet connect doesn’t always sync with on-chain actions. I’m trying to run an audit of our entire funnel (from Discord joins → dashboard usage → on-chain execution) but attribution in Web3 is messy. For those who’ve handled similar problems: how do you approach a growth funnel audit in a decentralized context where wallets ≠ users? Which metrics or tools helped you uncover bottlenecks? Any structured framework beyond “try more campaigns”?

We ran a similar audit for a lending protocol. Our 3-step framework: (1) Map Intent (Discord/Telegram → signup intent using form metadata), (2) Track Action (on-chain tx using Dune & Nansen tags), and (3) Validate Retention (Notion + cohort sheet). You’ll realize most leaks occur between intent and first on-chain action.

Once we introduced a guided Notion checklist (3-step onboarding), conversion rose 25 %.

Funnel audits in crypto need both on-chain and off-chain stitching. We used Mixpanel for UI events + Dune queries to match tx hashes. Create a “Cross-ID Bridge” — wallet + session ID + email hash. That alone uncovered 41 % false negatives in our attribution. Keep your metrics simple: click → connect → interact → repeat. Everything else is noise.
