What is Parachute?

Parachute is an ecosystem where new and experienced crypto enthusiasts connect with each other, learn, and get involved with an active crypto community. Its a place where they also discover early stage crypto projects and explore them together as the parachute community. To make this happen, Parachute partners with crypto and non-crypto projects, as well as startups, to help increase exposure, build an early brand and most importantly establish their initial core supporters. Parachute has and continues to organically build a community of crypto super fans. On the ground level, Parachute presents selected partners to the community, bringing them together over the course of 3 months the campaign in which parachuters can discover, learn, and become an active supporters of the projects they like. As a second layer, our partners can utilize community talent via the Parachute Freelance Marketplace, with an additional perk whereby Parachute is offering 2.5mm Parachute Token (PAR) to Partners to use on the marketplace at their discretion. If your Crypto Project has a native token, Parachute can organize a structured reward program within the Parachute platform, using tokens to reward highly engaged super fans for being active and part of the community building.

A cornerstone of Parachute is connecting people and community with new, interesting projects and startups to love, with community engagement at the core. Highly engaged “parachuters”, considered “super troopers”, are rewarded with additional rewards opportunities to connect with Partners and their teams. Engagement is further reinforced by a culture that is positive and respectful, use of games/tournaments/prizes, and a focus on having fun as well as philanthropy. This ecosystem has a demonstrated track record of being mutually beneficial to community members as well as Parachute partners.

“The Parachute Community has been an invaluable resource in creating a warm, welcoming and excellent community around our project. We could have gone with a regular airdrop service, but recognised that quality users engaged in your project is the ultimate goal, and that is what Parachute helps provide.”

— Rory Semple, 2Gether

Parachute believes that 1000 supportive and connected members is more important and effective than 50,000 un-interested or handout seeking individuals. Parachute community organically builds core contributing members to our partners simply by introducing the community to amazing projects naturally, with some added bonus of airdrops.

Parachute has demonstrated ability to bring 1k engaged new members to their partners’ community in a month, producing over 20k unique interactions in a month, establishing the necessary core community.

Bringing on new awesome projects is a key goal for Parachute to continue it’s organic growth and build an amazing community. Parachute benefits from the growth of new parachuters, parachuters benefit from learning about new projects, and projects benefit from establishing an amazing community to build their success.
