At Intellicore Press, we’ve been working with crypto and tech startups since the early days of blockchain hype. Back in 2017–2018, during the first major wave of blockchain enthusiasm, we were already consulting for founders, writing whitepapers, and helping early-stage teams communicate complex ideas to both investors and users. Many of those projects didn’t survive — but the experience taught us what worked, what didn’t, and what was missing.
What we saw then was a space full of promise, but often light on structure. A lot of founders had great ideas but no roadmap. They struggled with articulating product-market fit, building trust with stakeholders, or even deciding what kind of business they were trying to build. “Blockchain for X” was the dominant pitch — often without clear user research or strategic grounding.
Fast forward to 2025, and the world of Web3 looks very different.
The tools are more mature. Founders are more focused. The stakes are higher. And yet — many of the same gaps persist.
Web3 still lacks quality resources that speak clearly to builders, contributors, and founders who are serious about launching with strategy — not hype. That’s why we created three modular, practical guides that build on years of experience — not only writing and consulting behind the scenes, but seeing firsthand where early-stage teams hit roadblocks.
Whether you’re launching a token, researching your market, or looking for low-cost ways to start your own Web3 venture, these guides are built to help you move faster — without losing clarity.
🚀 The Complete Web3 Launch & Token Design Guide
Build a Fundable Project — Without Guessing What to Write
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for Web3 founders isn’t coding. It’s explaining what they’re building in a way that feels clear, credible, and investor-ready.
That’s why we created The Complete Web3 Launch & Token Design Guide — a 49-page playbook that helps you craft a whitepaper, litepaper, or launch doc that’s not just technically sound, but strategically sharp.
This isn’t just a template. It’s a full walkthrough of how successful Web3 teams structure their pitch: from vision, token utility, and go-to-market planning, to ecosystem fit and funding narratives. It’s the same framework we’ve used while helping DAOs, L2s, and dApps from over 30 countries raise funds and win contributor trust.
You’ll learn:
- How to clearly frame your project’s problem, solution, and traction
- How to explain your tokenomics — without buzzwords or fluff
- How to position your project for DAOs, angel investors, or pre-sale communities
- How to build trust through transparency, clarity, and best-practice formatting
We’ve distilled what works from standout projects like Optimism, Arbitrum, Zora, and Base — and turned that into a launch system any founder can follow.
📂 What’s Included
- A 49-page PDF reference guide
- A full launch document template in four formats: Google Docs, Notion, Word, LibreOffice
- Smart prompts for every section: executive summary, token design, GTM, revenue models, team bios, and more
- Bonus tips on pitching, roadmap design, and investor-ready messaging
- A free sample version so you can try before you buy
🎯 Who It’s For
This guide is for first-time founders, solo hackers, DAO contributors — anyone launching a Web3 project and ready to write like a pro.
Whether you’re applying to RetroPGF, planning a pre-token MVP, or just tired of blank pages, this guide saves you hours of second-guessing — and helps you craft a document that gets taken seriously.
💬 “Why not just use a blog post?”
You could cobble together advice from Medium or YouTube. But that rarely leads to a clean, fundable narrative.
This guide gives you the real thing: a proven structure used by real projects that raised real funds — with no guesswork.

📊 Proof of Market
For anyone who wants to test, validate, and de-risk a Web3 idea — before wasting time or money.
One of the hardest parts of launching in Web3 isn’t the code — it’s knowing whether you’re building something people actually need. In an ecosystem where narratives shift fast and hype can mask real demand, founders risk shipping into the void.
That’s where Proof of Market comes in.
This guide was designed for Web3 founders, contributors, and product teams who want to validate ideas before committing months of time or stacks of ETH. It gives you the frameworks, tools, and case studies to move beyond vibes — and toward signal.
You’ll learn how to de-risk your idea, test assumptions, and build with insight, not just instinct.
🧭 What’s Inside
The guide walks you through a complete research system, with five modular parts you can apply whether you’re at ideation, MVP stage, or preparing for pre-sale.
- General Market Research
Learn how to decode macro trends, navigate regulation zones, and estimate opportunity sizes (TAM/SAM/SOM) in tokenized ecosystems. It’s market sizing — adapted for the decentralized stack. - Competitor & Ecosystem Analysis
Go beyond basic SWOT. Learn how to benchmark real token models, UX flows, and narrative positioning. We teach you how to mine Discord, X, Token Terminal, and community forums to map traction and edge. - Customer Research & Persona Building
Stop inventing fake personas. Instead, analyze on-chain behavior, dApp usage, and engagement patterns to define crypto-native users by their motivations and risk profiles. - Keyword & Intent Research
Use search and social data — across Google, YouTube, Twitter/X, Lens, TikTok — to spot emerging needs. You’ll learn how to turn search behavior into features, marketing hooks, and onboarding flows. - Strategy Synthesis
This is where it comes together. You’ll translate insights into product roadmaps, whitepapers, or pitches — while learning how to develop a scalable, repeatable research habit.
📚 How It’s Delivered
Like all our guides at Intellicore Press, Proof of Market comes in multiple formats so you can use it however you like: PDF for reference, EPUB for mobile or Kindle, plus editable tools and prompts to put insights into action right away.
🎯 Who It’s For
This guide is for anyone building in Web3 who’s tired of launching first and guessing later. It’s especially relevant if you’re:
- Designing a DeFi protocol, NFT utility, or coordination tool
- Running growth at a DAO or contributing to an ecosystem launch
- Pivoting your dApp and want real-world usage signals
- Preparing to raise funds and want to show evidence, not assumptions
Whether you’re solo or working across time zones, Proof of Market helps you test faster, validate smarter, and build with user-aligned conviction.
🧩 Why It Works
We built this guide based on years of hands-on work with early-stage projects — some that soared, some that stalled. The key difference? The ones that succeeded knew what not to build just as clearly as what they were shipping.
This is the guide we wish every client had read before their first pitch or pre-sale — and now, it’s yours.

💡 Twenty-Five Web3 Business Ideas You Can Start With Little to No Capital
Real-world startup ideas for builders, contributors, and creative technologists in the permissionless economy
At Intellicore Press, we’ve worked with dozens of early-stage Web3 projects — and again and again, we saw the same question come up:
“What can I actually build without VC funding or a full-stack team?”
This guide is our answer.
Whether you’re a solo founder, a DAO contributor, or a product person looking to start something on the side, Twenty-Five Web3 Business Ideas is a field-tested idea vault — a curated collection of lean, launchable business models tailored for the decentralized economy.
These aren’t high-concept thought experiments. They’re real ideas, grounded in what’s already working in Web3 and designed to work without needing a $500k seed round or a team of ten.
🧠 Why We Made This Guide
Many of our readers and clients are deep into Web3 — but not necessarily technical. Some are consultants, DAO coordinators, or creatives. Others are developers tired of building for others and ready to ship something of their own.
They didn’t need a crash course in crypto. They needed real ideas they could start building today — with minimal resources, clear upside, and practical next steps.
That’s what this guide delivers:
- 25+ idea blueprints for permissionless builders
- Each grouped by strategy, tooling, and monetization
- With insights into market fit, MVP scope, and GTM tactics
🧩 What You’ll Find Inside
The 90+ page guide is organized into five themed parts — each one mapping to a different kind of founder, skill set, or ambition:
- Services That Scale Without Offices
Think solo consultancy, productized services, or analyst stacks — like tokenomics modeling or DAO tooling audits. - DAO-Powered Micro-Enterprises
Launch a governance ops team, facilitate grant programs, or coordinate working groups across ecosystems. - Marketplaces & Productized Tools
From token-gated SaaS to niche NFT utilities and plug-and-play marketplace layers. - Developer-Led Builds
Don’t just freelance — build reusables. SDKs, integrations, permission layers, and lightweight “RaaS” (Rollup-as-a-Service) frameworks. - IRL & Impact Experiments
Bring Web3 to the real world. Tokenized local initiatives, community wellness incentives, or crypto onboarding hubs.
Each idea includes monetization options, technical scope, and tips for validating fast — without burning months on dev cycles or design debt.
✨ Who This Is For
This isn’t just for engineers. It’s for:
- DAO contributors looking to spin up something of their own
- Non-technical founders with strategic or creative strengths
- Devs and designers ready to experiment without permission
- Consultants or freelancers building toward productization
Even if you don’t end up building one of the ideas directly, the guide helps reframe how you look at Web3 business models: not as massive protocol bets, but as modular, sustainable systems anyone can build on.

Why We Built These
We didn’t create these guides as theory. We created them because we’ve been in the trenches with founders — in 2018, and still today. From whitepapers to go-to-market strategies, from DAO governance to token economics, we’ve seen the hard parts of building in Web3 up close.
These guides are our way of sharing what works — without fluff, without jargon, and without $5,000 consulting fees.
They’re not here to tell you what to build. They’re here to help you build with clarity.
