Want to acquire Web3 users, funding, and long-term retention in the German market through Telegram, but don't know where to start?
This guide will help you get your Telegram Web3 ads running in Germany step by step, covering feasibility analysis, Web3 user profiling, ad format selection, practical procedures, optimization tips, and compliance reminders .
Why is Germany a worthwhile market for Web3 Telegram advertising?
1. Telegram's user base and quality in Germany
- Telegram has been downloaded more than 7.29 million times in Germany and has consistently ranked among the top 10 communication apps in the country.
- Approximately 17% of the German population uses Telegram, with over 14 million active users.
- The core users are concentrated in the 24-34 age group , with a strong acceptance of technology and financial awareness.
For Web3 projects, this means:
- User education costs are relatively low.
- You are familiar with concepts such as wallets, tokens, DeFi, blockchain games, and airdrops.
- It makes it easier to complete the path from click → join group → interaction → conversion.
2. Interest Distribution of German Web3 Users
Based on actual Telegram traffic platform and advertising network data, German users are active in the following Web3-related areas:
- DeFi / Trading Platform / DEX
- CEX / Trading Tools / Copy Trading Products
- Web3 Games / GameFi / Play-to-Earn
- Airdrop events / Points missions / Quest platform
- Meme / Community-Driven Project
- Web3 utility tools (wallets, data tools, AI tools, mini apps)
The general characteristics of German users are:
- Rational but not conservative
- Willing to study product logic
- More emphasis is placed on safety, brand image, and long-term value.
3. There is still a window of opportunity for cost reduction.
Although Germany is a Tier-1 market , the competition for Web3 advertising within the Telegram ecosystem is not yet fully saturated .
- On some advertising networks, Telegram's cost-per-click can still be kept in the range of $0.015–$0.05+ (depending on the format and targeting).
- Compared to Twitter/Google Ads, Telegram has a shorter conversion path and lower churn rate in the Web3 context.
The key is not "cheap", but "precise + native".
II. Why are Web3 projects better suited for Telegram Mini App Ads (TMA)?
Telegram Mini App Ads (TMA) are one of the most user-friendly and highest-conversion-efficiency ad formats for Web3 projects today.
TMA's core advantages over Web3
In the German market, TMA advertising is particularly suitable for:
- Blockchain game trial
- Web3 Mini App
- Airdrop/Points Mission Entry
- Wallet/Tool Products
III. Launching a Web3 Telegram advertising campaign in Germany (using Ads3 as an example)
Step 1: Prepare enough creative ideas for testing.
German users have a low tolerance for low-quality and exaggerated creativity ; suggestions:
- Prepare 5-10 or more creative ideas
- Covering different narrative perspectives:
- Product Value
- Use cases
- Data/Mechanism Description
- Community atmosphere
- Play/Interact
Common Web3 creative formats include:
- Native Banner
- Interstitial / Full-screen Ads
- Video Demo
- Bot message ads (for airdrops/missions)
Step 2: Orientation and Filtering Settings
Basic Orientation
- Country: Germany
- Language: German / English
- Device: Android / iOS
Advanced targeting (if platform supports it)
- Frequency Cap
- Highly active/paying users only
- TON balance or on-chain behavior filtering
- Blacklist of low-quality traffic sources
Step 3: Budget and Bidding Strategy
- In the German market, it's not advisable to have a very low budget , otherwise you may not be able to acquire effective traffic.
- During the testing period, bidding restrictions can be appropriately relaxed.
- Enable ASAP/Priority mode to speed up data collection.
- Run the data first, then perform fine-tuning.
Step 4: Continuous optimization and scaling up
- Filter creative ideas based on CTR, CVR, and CPA.
- Add high-quality sources to the whitelist
- Close high-cost, low-conversion combinations
- Continuously test second-order combinations of "creativity × targeting × user type"
The key to Web3 advertising is not a one-time surge in traffic, but sustainable and replicable growth.
