How Magpie Maximized User Acquisition by 36% with MetaCRM Footprints

Understanding and optimizing user acquisition is crucial for sustainable growth in all businesses. Magpie, a multi-protocol DeFi ecosystem managing over $1B in TVL and an early adopter of MetaCRM Community module for customer service excellence, partnered with MetaCRM to enhance their growth strategy.

By implementing MetaCRM Footprints module, Magpie transformed into a truly data-driven DeFi platform, measuring and optimizing every step of their user acquisition funnel – from initial outreach to active protocol engagement. This comprehensive approach to user acquisition, combining both community management and data analytics, led to remarkable results: a 36% boost in new user acquisition, 31% increase in new wallet connections, and 24% reduction in marketing costs.

Let’s explore the method behind it!

Magpie: Pioneering DeFi Ecosystem

Magpie DAO represents a groundbreaking advancement in DeFi architecture, operating as a comprehensive suite of protocols that transcends traditional platform limitations. As a Mega DAO managing over $1B in TVL, Magpie has revolutionized DeFi participation through its innovative SubDAO model, specializing in governance token blackholing, Ethereum Liquid Restaking Services, and Bitcoin Liquid Staking.

At the heart of Magpie’s ecosystem is their unique SubDAO Factory model, which enables the creation of specialized protocols that enhance existing DeFi innovations. Each SubDAO operates with its own governance token while maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the Magpie Treasury. This innovative structure, powered by their MGP governance token, allows vote-locked MGP (vlMGP) holders to participate in governance and earn rewards across all SubDAOs, regardless of the network.

The Challenge: Driving Growth in a Saturated DeFi Landscape

In the competitive DeFi sector, user acquisition remains one of the most challenging aspects of protocol growth. For yield-focused protocol like Magpie, it’s not just about attracting users, but finding those who bring sustainable value to the ecosystem.

Traditional marketing approaches often fall short in DeFi. Magpie needed to understand not just who their users were, but how they interacted with their protocol. With each marketing dollar needing to demonstrate clear ROI, the team required precise insights into which channels truly drove valuable user engagement.

This complexity was further amplified by several key challenges in the DeFi landscape:

Fragmented User Journey Tracking: In Web3, every step of user interaction is crucial, from initial dApp website visit, wallet connection, smart contract interaction, to active ecosystem participation. Traditional tracking methods struggle to capture user behavior across these key conversion stages, particularly the progression from wallet connection and actual on-chain activities.
Limited Attribution Visibility: While Web3 offers unprecedented transparency in on-chain activities, existing Web2 analytics tools struggled to verify whether users actually conducted on-chain actions that truly interacted with the project.This made it extremely difficult to measure which marketing initiatives were truly driving valuable user engagement and protocol adoption.
Resource Optimization Challenges: Without clear tracking of your user’s on-chain conversions from different channels, marketing resource allocation became a major challenge. Teams struggled to identify which sources or KOLs truly drove valuable on-chain conversions and TVL, as traditional Web2 analytics couldn’t reveal actual on-chain engagement – leaving teams without the crucial Web3 metrics needed to optimize their marketing spend.

The Solution & Result

Magpie transformed MetaCRM’s Footprint module into something more powerful – think of it as a project’s super-smart fitness tracker. It doesn’t just count transactions, it spots user patterns that projects never knew existed. The best part? It turns all that nerdy blockchain data into strategies teams can actually use. No more guessing what communities want – projects now know exactly how to keep users engaged. It’s like giving community managers superpowers.

Website Traffic – Understanding Your User From First Interaction!
Thanks to MetaCRM’s Website Traffic and Footprint Module, Magpie could track users from their first website visit all the way to staking interactions. This complete visibility helped them understand which staking programs truly appealed to users – allowing them to optimize campaign incentives and user flow. By fine-tuning their staking campaigns based on real user data, Magpie achieved a 36% increase in wallet connections. These data-driven insights transformed DeFi user acquisition from guesswork into a measurable science – showing exactly which staking programs effectively attract and retain users.

dApp Tracking – Deep Into Magpie’s dApp Performance
Using MetaCRM’s dApp Tracking, Magpie gained deep insights into their protocol’s user interactions. Through analysis of behavior patterns and pain points, they were able to optimize products’ user experience, and achieved a 31% increase in new wallet connections. The dApp Tracking dashboard provides a comprehensive on-chain activity monitoring, enabling Magpie to efficiently evaluate and enhance their protocol performance efficiently and conveniently.

Web3 Attribution: Optimizing Magpie’s User Acquisition Strategy
Using MetaCRM’s Attribution Link feature, Magpie transformed their marketing approach by tracking real-time performance of every channel – from initial click to on-chain engagement. This precise attribution helped them identify which campaigns actually brought in active users, leading to smarter budget allocation. The result? A 24% reduction in marketing costs while maintaining strong user engagement. No more guessing which channels work – just data-driven decisions that maximize marketing ROI.

Armed with these powerful features, Magpie moved beyond basic tracking to make strategic decisions across their entire ecosystem – optimizing their dApp, refining marketing strategies, and strengthening community engagement. This comprehensive approach led to better user acquisition and stronger user retention.

“MetaCRM transformed how we approach growth in DeFi. Instead of guessing what works, we now see exactly which strategies bring in engaged users. The results speak for themselves – we’ve significantly improved our user acquisition while spending marketing costs effectively.”
