Challenge: Overcoming Crypto Trading Onboarding Barriers & Information Overload

Like most Web3 projects, Ascend Universe confronted major user acquisition and retention obstacles:

  • Crypto Onboarding Barriers: Newcomers struggled with understanding concepts like leverage, order types, tokenomics, and DeFi game mechanics, leading to high bounce rates and early user churn.
  • Information Overload: Players and traders found it challenging to keep up with relevant crypto news and market-moving events, negatively impacting their in-game decisions and overall engagement.

These challenges threatened the scalability and stickiness of Ascend Universe’s ecosystem. The team needed a solution that not only educated beginners, but also empowered all users with actionable information—without overwhelming them or requiring external research.
