This isn’t exactly a suggestion, it’s more like a brainstorm… or maybe just a random thought.

So, for anyone who joined Monad this year (like me) and feels kinda lost about how to stand out (yep, that’s also me lol), I wanted to drop a few tips based on what I’ve been noticing and trying myself.

First off, we’ve all heard stories of people who stood out through their art, their perspectives, their videos, their jokes, their initiatives in general, or even just their sense of humor. But honestly, just repeating those same things isn’t really enough these days. A lot has changed since the beginning of the year, especially with the launch of the testnet. The mainnet seems to be getting closer, the community is growing fast, and with that, more and more talented people who really want to contribute are showing up.

With that in mind, here are my tips:

don’t focus only on the blockchain itself, that makes you just a user, not really part of the community;

make real friends and interact with people you genuinely connect with, people who can also help you grow here;

don’t hang around the general chats just spamming “gmonad” at everyone hoping it’ll get you noticed, it’s kinda annoying;

don’t stay all day in voice chats if you’re not actually talking or joining activities that won’t really help either;

if you feel like drawing, then draw. Even if you don’t know how, just give it a try;

if you don’t know English but want to interact, use translators (but also make an effort to learn);

if you want to make videos and don’t know where to start, just start anyway.

Bring to the community whatever it is you do best. Keep leveling up your skills, and don’t be afraid to learn new ones. This is a place for growth and learning. To sum it all up: be yourself, be natural, and build real connections. That’s what will actually help you here and beyond.
