Build trust bridges: Convert NFT badge skeptics with gentle onboarding funnels
University students bootstrapping NFT badge systems for achievements can't market effectively to peers who dismiss web3 as a scam and refuse to engage.
CredConnect creates personalized landing pages that introduce badges as 'verifiable creds' with quizzes and social proof, hiding web3 until opt-in. Students customize funnels with their badge art and track drop-offs to optimize. It integrates walletless previews to hook peers first.
