BitcoinWorld Rewriting the Web3 Textbook: The ‘Community-First’ Revolution Proven by WonderChain “The first Web3 case where community moved before technology.” Even before its official launch, major media outlets around the world turned their attention to a single blockchain project. In the first half of 2025, WonderChain emerged as an unprecedented case of global expansion in the blockchain industry, with simultaneous coverage across key regions including the U.S., China, India, and Southeast Asia. Notably, 51 global media outlets such as AP News, BitcoinWorld, Binance Feed, Phoenix Media, CoinStats, Dailyhunt, and CoinMarketCap spotlighted WonderChain at the same time. This was not simply a matter of media attention, but is now seen as a transformative event that is reshaping how Web3 spreads. Some media referred to this as an “exceptional global reaction,” analyzing it as the beginning of a fundamental shift in the Web3 industry’s diffusion model. Unprecedented Expansion Before Official Launch Although WonderChain’s platform has not yet been officially released, its community has already begun moving on a global scale. The official Telegram channel currently has over 50,000 subscribers, with many users voluntarily sharing project information and engaging in community discussions. Such a globally active communication structure emerging before a platform’s launch is considered highly unusual in the industry. Unmatched Speed and Scale of Expansion WonderChain is being recognized as one of the fastest-expanding projects in Web3 history. Bitcoin took years to gain attention from mainstream media, and Ethereum also required several years. In contrast, WonderChain reached global headlines in just 3 to 4 months before its launch. With coverage across all 50 U.S. states, spotlighted by India’s Dailyhunt with its 350 million user base, and media reports across 10 Southeast Asian countries, the project has clearly achieved a distributed, multi-national expansion structure rather than one centered in a single country. Why Did the Media Respond? Story, Structure, and Data Industry media have analyzed this expansion not as a viral fluke or temporary trend, but as the strategic outcome of a community-based structure. The focus shifted from technology-centric messaging to a user-first philosophy, voluntary participation models, and real-life functionality—elements that drew the media’s attention. Specifically, features such as wallet access without mnemonics, automatic gas fee burning, decentralized commerce driven by user decisions, and behavior-based reward mechanisms were highlighted by many industry outlets as a positive sign of paradigm shift in Web3 design. Rather than merely “explaining” the technology, WonderChain takes an approach where users experience and naturally understand the system. This method is contributing to a new discourse on how Web3 should expand and how user relationships should be structured. Validated by Quantitative Indicators Beyond its technical design, WonderChain has also secured strong trust based on measurable performance. According to a global research institution, WonderChain achieved a perfect score in 95 evaluation categories, earning a AAA rating. This places it among the highest-tier risk ratings out of thousands of projects, and some institutions have called it “one of the most complete Web3 design cases to date.” The VC sector is also reacting swiftly. Several global venture capital firms are closely monitoring WonderChain, with some already beginning early-stage evaluations. Within the community, discussions around potential Binance listing are gaining traction, and overall market anticipation continues to grow. A Turning Point in Web3 Expansion Strategy WonderChain is being recognized as one of the first Web3 projects to lead global expansion through community and structure alone. This breaks the traditional linear model of the blockchain industry—Technology → Marketing → Users—and proves the feasibility of a reverse model: Users → Connection → Expansion → Technology. More than just a project’s success, WonderChain is initiating a broader shift within the Web3 industry, advocating for human-centric design as the strategic starting point. Industry experts describe WonderChain as “a project where the user community designed the expansion first, and the technology followed.” They consider it one of the clearest early examples of the direction Web3 needs to evolve toward.
