TL;DR: Web3 Analytic lands and retains major protocol customers for its marketing analytics platform using Loop to enable crypto subscription payments across numerous chains and ERC-20 tokens.
Web3 Analytic helps dApps to grow their user bases. Anonymity is a core tenet of web3; however, it makes the web3 marketer’s job challenging. It is hard to grow your user base, especially at the beginning if you can’t contact your users!
Web3 Analytic helps solve this problem - protocols can find and understand their users. Founded in 2022 by Will McTighe and Mike Wu, they support teams like Perp Protocol and Vertex and have connected more than 300k social profiles to on-chain wallets. One of their biggest wins was helping a protocol onboard a client who deposited $500k in their protocol.
Web3 Analytic’s target customers are protocol teams who are looking to attract builders and users to their protocols. These teams are often managing on-chain treasuries of a distributed native token, have raised funds in crypto, or earn revenue in crypto. As a result, they have the following needs:
Given the attributes of their target customer, Web3 Analytic knew they would need to offer a crypto payment option for their clients. While they could have had customers send funds directly to a wallet, Will and Mike were forward-thinking founders and wanted a solution that would scale for the future. Additionally, as a company with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenue model, they cared about:
After meeting the Loop Crypto team who spoke at the a16z’s Crypto Startup School and learning about Loop’s Stripe integration, Web3 Analytic was ready to get started. In just a few minutes, the Loop team onboarded Web3 Analytic and enabled Loop’s Stripe integration for them. This allowed Web3 Analytic to continue managing all of its products in Stripe and have crypto checkout links automatically generated in Loop. Web3 Analytic could then simply send the Loop checkout link to their customers to allow them to authorize crypto autopay.
“Web3 native protocol teams have funds in crypto that they need to use to pay for services like Web3 Analytic. Loop makes it easy for us to get paid in crypto. We simply send a checkout link to our customer, they set a payment authorization for autopay in seconds, and then the payments process automatically month after month.” - Will McTighe, Co-founder of Web3 Analytic
Sending a checkout link is as easy as sending a wallet address but with the added benefit of enabling customers to set up autopay and capture transaction data automatically. This dramatically reduces manual work down the road and removes the headache of reconciling transaction hashes.
The most important impact of using Loop is that it has allowed Web3 Analytic to grow revenue by landing critical clients who needed to pay on specific networks or in a specific native token. For example, when working with Kwenta, Web3 Analytic needed to accept payment on Optimism. Loop was able to quickly add support for Optimism in a matter of hours, enabling Web3 Analytic to close the deal with Kwenta.
Loop’s multi-chain support has also been critical for Web3 Analytic as they currently have customers paying on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Loop also supports Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, and Base. About 20% of Web3 Analytic’s clients pay them in crypto. With Loop, they can serve web3-native protocol teams and cater to their particular payment needs.
Another key benefit of using Loop has been saving time. Loop’s crypto autopay eliminates the need to spend hours every month sending reminders and chasing down payments. The average Loop user authorizes and pre-schedules 7 months' worth of payments, and 40% of users authorize for the entire year. If Web3 Analytic were using a simple checkout front-end like Coinbase Commerce that does not offer autopay, they would be wasting hours a month on manual follow-up. Loop also offers a Customer Portal, making it easy for customers to manage their payment authorization and always stay in control of their funds, which is one of the key benefits of web3 payments over web2.
The Stripe integration also saves Web3 Analytic time because it means they have one source of truth where they can manage all of their subscribers. Aggregating all invoices and payment data in Stripe makes accounting significantly easier and less time-consuming.
Ultimately, this combination of being able to grow revenue and save time has been a critical tool for Web3 Analytic as they scale their operations and prepare for their next phase of growth.
