How to Write a Web3 Press Release That Doesn't Sound Like Everyone Else

There's a reason most crypto press releases get ignored. It's almost never because the projects are bad or the tech doesn't matter. The usual culprit is that the announcement reads like it was written by a robot who spent too much time on LinkedIn.

Here's the hard truth: the blockchain, crypto, and Web3 space is one that thrives on innovation; however, most press releases still sound painfully generic. So, if your announcement could be swapped with someone else's and still make sense, you've already lost.

The good news? Writing a Web3 press release that stands out isn't that complicated.
You just need to follow a few key principles and avoid a few deadly traps.

Focus Less on Sounding Smart and More on Clarity

You don't need to "impress" the reader with technical jargon or industry buzzwords.
If someone has to read your headline three times to understand it, they won't read it a fourth.

The goal isn't to sound like a rocket scientist; it really should be to sound like someone who knows what they're building and why it matters right now. A good rule of thumb is if you can explain your update in one clear sentence, you're already ahead of 90% of teams.

Kick Things Off With the Big Why, Not the Boring What

Most press releases start with the what: "Company X announces the launch of Protocol Y on Network Z."

Cool. Great. But why should anyone care? Honestly.

Try this instead: "Protocol Y launches on Network Z to make real-time DeFi access possible for mobile-first users across Latin America."

Now you're not just launching a product, you're solving a problem. That's what grabs attention.

Add Just Enough Context to Make It Make Sense

Web3 moves fast, and most people aren't following your every move. Assume your reader is smart but not caught up. Briefly explain:

• What you're announcing
• Why it's important
• Who it impacts
• And what's coming next

Keep it tight and concise, while giving readers just enough to pique their interest and curiosity.

Use Quotes to Build Trust, Not Fluff

This is where most teams drop the ball. Founder quotes should never sound like they were written for a PR handbook.

• Here's an example of what NOT to do: "We're thrilled to announce this exciting partnership as we continue to push boundaries."
• A GOOD PRACTICE is to do something like this: "This integration fixes the #1 friction point we kept hearing from our users, and sets us up to scale globally."

Remember, your quote is your voice, so don't waste it on clichés and overly used buzzwords.

The Next Step Should be Obvious

Too many press releases end without a clear direction, leaving readers wondering:

• Are you opening up a waitlist?
• Running a live demo?
• Offering early access?

Give the reader a next step, something to click, join, watch, or explore. If you don't tell them what to do, they'll move on to the next shiny thing.
