With the booming Web3 market in Southeast Asia, projects from Vietnam, Indonesia, and other regions have begun to show their potential in user growth and innovation. However, as local markets become saturated, where are the next growth opportunities? The answer is undoubtedly China - one of the top 10 active crypto markets globally, with millions of on-chain users and a highly active community ecosystem. Chinese crypto communities have gathered massive real users on platforms like X and Telegram, with strong KOL influence and high communication efficiency. Once breakthrough, project brands can achieve explosive growth.
However, the Chinese market is not a simple "traffic pool"; it has unique trust logic, cultural habits, and content rhythm. For Southeast Asian projects to succeed, they need to master a localization strategy. Click to unlock the Chinese Web3 growth code
Create Localized Content
Chinese users prefer "simple and straightforward" content, with complex terminology and English materials often being ignored. Project teams need to transform product mechanisms into easy-to-understand Chinese content, addressing users' core concerns: "How to play? What can I earn? Is it worth it?" Through X platform's multi-image long posts, Bilibili video tutorials, Telegram explanation images, etc., allow users to understand the project in 3 seconds and decide to participate in 30 seconds. It is recommended to collaborate with a localization team to ensure the content is not just "in Chinese" but "speaks the language".
Collaborate with Chinese KOLs
In China, "who says it" is more important than "what you say". Choose 10-20 Chinese KOLs that match the project (such as task-type, tutorial-type, or entertainment-type), and quickly establish brand awareness through cross-platform coordination on X, Telegram, Bilibili, etc. Initially, test with small to medium-sized KOLs, observe interaction effects, and gradually expand. KOL endorsements can quickly ignite user interest and pave the way for community building.
Build an Active Chinese Community
Community is the core of retaining users. Establish a Chinese Telegram group, set up welcome guides, FAQ, daily tasks, and other mechanisms, regularly host AMA, lottery, and other activities to maintain community vitality. An active community is not just a user gathering place but also a hub of trust and communication. Without a community, a project is essentially rootless.
Master Content Dissemination Rhythm
Chinese users need "continuous touch" rather than "one-time bombardment". Develop a four-stage communication plan: "Cold Start - Warm-up - Launch - Follow-up": Early stage push task tutorials, mid-stage create FOMO atmosphere, later stage showcase user benefits and data. Through continuous KOL output and multi-platform distribution, gradually strengthen brand memory.
Partner with a Localization Execution Team
The complexity of the Chinese market lies in language, platform, and cultural differences, which are difficult for project teams to handle alone. Choose a team like ChainPeak Pro that is familiar with the Chinese market, integrating KOL resources, content creation, and community operations to help you land efficiently. ChainPeak has helped projects like ZKFair and Pendle achieve breakthroughs from 0 to 1 in China, saving time, effort, and budget.
Summary
The Chinese Web3 market has enormous potential, but the threshold is not low. Southeast Asian projects need to start with localized content, build a complete user growth closed loop through KOL traffic, community precipitation, rhythm control, and professional team execution. The key is to view China as a long-term battlefield, not a short-term traffic opportunity. Once trust and brand awareness are established, the high stickiness and viral potential of Chinese users will become an accelerator for projects to go global.
