A team building a new lending protocol on Solana uses this skill to plan their GTM: define ICP, craft CT narrative, submit grant applications to Solana Foundation and Superteam, and recruit first integrators via hackathon bounties and developer outreach. The 90-day sprint structure helps sequence testnet, mainnet, and token launch while tracking protocol revenue as the north star.

A solo founder building an SDK for web3 authentication uses the skill to grow developer community through composability (easy integration with existing wallets and dApps) and CT narrative positioning as 'the identity layer for AI agents.' They prioritize signal over size by targeting 50 engaged developers and submitting to grant programs.

A team launching a token on Pump.fun leverages the skill's token launch tactics and CT narrative strategy. They craft a compelling story, engage with crypto Twitter, and utilize hackathon playbooks to gain early traction. The focus on revenue and integrations over vanity metrics guides their roadmap.

A product team building a direct-to-user paid NFT marketplace uses the skill's adapted frameworks for crypto-native products: dual-rail payments, embedded wallet UX, and micropayment pricing psychology. They apply the 90-day GTM sprint to acquire first customers and iterate on landing page conversion.

A team behind a cross-chain messaging protocol uses the skill to drive standards adoption, encouraging other protocols to implement their spec. They focus on composability as distribution, making integration trivially easy with one SDK call and clear docs. The 90-day plan includes submitting to ecosystem grants and shipping case studies from early integrators.

Generate revenue by charging fees on transactions or usage of the protocol. Track protocol revenue as the north star metric, not TVL. Examples: Hyperliquid earning fees from perpetual swaps, Jupiter from swap routing.

Launch a token to distribute ownership and bootstrap network effects. Use airdrops to reward early adopters and integrate with launch platforms like Pump.fun, Bags.fm, or Moonshot. Revenue can come from token sale, initial liquidity provision, or subsequent fee sharing.

Sell a hosted service or product directly to end users, paid in crypto. Apply dual-rail payments, embedded wallet UX, and micropayment pricing psychology. Examples: NFT marketplaces, crypto SaaS, AI agent services. Track revenue from subscriptions, one-time purchases, or usage-based micropayments.
