Tips for Writing Meaningful Web3 Reviews
September 1st, 2023

Certified.app is on a mission to provide a safe and compelling way for all users to navigate the Web3 space, with its multiple dApps and blockchain services. In order to achieve this goal, we are building an extensive catalog of blockchain applications with genuine and honest reviews from experts and users, rated by readers. As the reviews represent the cornerstone of Certified.app, we have decided to provide their creators with more insights into transforming their experiences into meaningful recommendations for the community members.

Be Honest and Truthful

This advice tops today's list, as it is of utmost importance to deliver impactful and helpful Web3 insights to the users. Share your personal experience of using Web3 apps and services, and include your own thoughts and feelings. Do not repeat well-known information or copy facts from the product page. Strive to deliver real value to your readers and assist them in selecting the finest options while avoiding potential problems. Remember that providing false information in reviews is both unethical and malicious.

Think critical and pay attention to details

It might be tempting to assign a five-star rating to a dApp that was satisfactory in general. Sometimes people assume that any rating below five indicates a negative experience.However, engaging with Web3 platforms and solutions is not as straightforward as it might seem, because it includes many points and aspects, such as:

  • usability,

  • security,

  • community engagement,

  • manuals and documentation,

  • project’s roadmap,

  • trust for team members.

Therefore, before submitting your final feedback for the community, think about your Web3 experience from the very beginning to the moment you reached the result.**Ask yourself questions like: What was the main reason for choosing this specific dApp? Were there any alternatives? How long did it take you to find the desired feature? Would you like to add a “little button” that can change the game?

There are hundreds of other questions that will help you deliver the most valuable information to new users, and your main goal is to evaluate every point critically.

Don't hesitate to assign a lower rating to a business that deserves it

Sometimes you may worry that assigning a three-star rating or offering critical suggestions could potentially offend those who worked so hard to launch this fancy swap or brand new DEX. Hence, you may end up editing your entry or even deleting it.However, this position is entirely wrong. Assigning a lower rating along with some insightful details about what specifically went wrong and suggestions for improvement (as mentioned in the first point) will help the impacted Web3 business to develop. In order to make Web3 space a better place for everyone, builders have to face sincere feedback from genuine Web3 audiences. This information empowers teams to design more advanced blockchain solutions with enhanced and customizable options that can accelerate the widespread adoption of Web3.

Make your reviews easy to understand for newcomers

One of the missions of Certified.app is to build the most reliable source of information about Web3 products for all sorts of users. While some of them may have general idea about Web3 technologies and blockchain, others may completely lack this knowledge.

To help newcomers better understand different features of dApps, we kindly ask reviewers to avoid overusing slang and technical terminology. This doesn’t mean that you have to refrain from using terms like "TLV" when describing an ultimate DeFi protocol, but adding a clarification that it stands for "Total Value Locked" would be a good approach. Remember, at some point in the past, you also were a confused newbie.

Keep friendly and respectful tone

We do not moderate or edit your entries, as we firmly believe in freedom of speech as one of the main pillars of Web3. However, there is a distinction between expressing your opinion and making insulting statements.If your experience with a dApp was negative in general, try to explain the situation to your readers in a detailed, polite, and rational manner. But let your readers draw their own conclusions! This approach may help to draw the team's attention to your concerns.

Proofread your review

Finally, don’t forget to check your review for errors and ensure that it makes sense in general. There are many tools that may help you with this, including ChatGPT. However, be prudent and do not over-optimize your text with their help. Keep your feedback simple and straightforward, just as if you are advising a new product to your close friend.
