Institutional Investors: Bank Partnerships: Leveraging our partnerships with banks, we aim to attract institutional investors by offering them a bridge to the crypto market through a familiar and trusted avenue. Our indices provide a diversified, low-entry barrier investment tool, designed to meet the risk management and compliance standards expected by these entities. Crypto Enthusiasts and Retail Investors: Education and Adoption: Our mission extends to maturing the investment approach of the broader crypto community, including those fondly referred to as 'crypto degens.' We intend to demonstrate that crypto indices represent a safer, passive investment strategy compared to individual asset speculation. While we acknowledge the popularity of memecoins, our emphasis is on educating investors about the advantages of index investing—highlighting its potential to combine the benefits of crypto adoption with a time-efficient, risk-managed investment strategy.  An effective community growth plan includes several strategies and tactics, including retaining community members, creating awareness and word of mouth through social media, and leveraging industry KOLs to reach a wider audience.  **Competitors Analysis:**  After analyzing our competitors, we have noticed a few common errors we intend to avoid in order to have an active and loyal community to leverage and expand the project across the DeFi space. These mistakes include:  - Low chat activity - Absence of community activities & contests - No activity incentivization - Low focus on Asian communities  **Past Experiences**  Our CMO (https://twitter.com/Moomsxxx) has been in the cryptocurrency field for 3 years and has had multiple experiences as a moderator, community leader, marketing advisor, and project marketer. Among the several experiences, we can highlight the growth of a trading community from 0 members to 2700 members organically in a 7-month time frame, the funding raise of $250,000 with a marketing budget of $8,500, delivering a cost per install (CPI) of $1.88 and a return on investment (ROI) of 29.4, and the growth of his personal brand from 0 to 14,000+ followers over 4 months.  ---  ## Strategy  ### Phase 0  - **Creation of communities:** Start Twitter, Telegram, and LinkedIn communities.  ### Phase 1  - **Content marketing:** Post educational content, articles, and videos explaining the project on our social media profiles.

This will help us to reach our vision of an active and engaged community similar to a trading/investing discussion group instead of a normal DEX community with low activity. - **Loyalty Program:** Usage of tiers for Telegram users based on their community and platform activity. This way, users will be incentivized to engage in the chat and use the platform in exchange of specific perks. - **Advertisement:** Creating appealing videos, content, and memes and promoting them on social media profiles like TikTok, Twitter, Telegram, and Instagram. This way, the targeted audience will be curious about these memes and videos and will check out our profiles, potentially joining our community. - **Bounty dApp:** Creating a dApp (decentralized application) where users log in and accumulate NEX tokens by making tasks that will boost our engagement on social media, such as retweeting a post, liking a post, and others.  ### Phase 3  - **Asian marketing:** Utilize our connections with Chinese and Asian-based influencers and marketers to create channels dedicated to each relevant Asian country and expand the project in those countries. - **Airdrop Strategy:** Start an airdrop strategy that incentivizes users to share the project through tasks such as “Like, Retweet, and comment” or “Make a transaction on Testnet.” This way, we will generate word of mouth across the users and expand the project passively. - **DAOs collaborations:** Close partnerships with DAOs that manage investment portfolios and propose NEX indices as a potential investment, introducing the project and the products to a different type of investors.  ### Phase 4  - **CEX Listings:** List the NEX token on several centralized exchanges raising our brand awareness and making it easier for crypto users to discover our project. - **External partnerships:** Close partnerships with companies and brands outside the Web 3.0 space, such as watches brands or clothing brands, creating an index of their assets, reaching this way a new audience of users. - **Trending on charting sites:** List the token on charting sites obtaining visibility thanks to these platforms' high website visits. - **Trading contests:** Hosting trading competitions to increase the platform’s usage and, consequently, the company’s revenue.  *It is important to note that strategies may change based on the outcome and data the team will gather throughout the months.
