The problem

Banned category.
Same growth targets.

Four things break for web3 brands that never break for a candle company. Creator marketing fixes all four.

Paid social is closed to you

Meta prohibits crypto trading app ads and Google gates crypto behind certification. The channels every other brand scales on are banned or throttled for yours.

Astroturf blowups are one expose away

Undisclosed affiliate armies and bot comments eventually surface, and the brand eats the reputational cost even when affiliates ran the spam. Disclosed content does not blow up.

KOLs are priced for hype, not conversion

Big crypto KOLs charge premium rates for one shill post to an audience that has seen a hundred of them. Volume UGC from small creators wins on cost per view.

Compliance is jurisdictional chaos

FTC disclosure rules, geo restrictions, financial-promotion regimes. Built-in contracts and brief templates keep creator claims and targeting inside the lines from the start.

Creator sourcing

Creators who already
talk about crypto.

The playbook

What works when
Meta says no.

The distribution moves proven by the fastest-growing crypto apps, priced honestly and run with disclosure.

Micro-creator volume

Dozens of small creators posting weekly beats one hero campaign. Volume UGC from nano and micro accounts is the cheapest legitimate attention in the market.

Tutorial-format content

"How to make your first trade", "how to withdraw". Tutorials rank in search, feel native in the feed, and convert cold traffic because they answer real questions.

Search-demand seeding

"Is [your app] legit" is getting typed into TikTok right now. Creator content that answers the exact queries people search owns the moment of decision.

Disclosed #ad, always

Every video carries clear disclosure and signed usage rights. Paid, disclosed creator content never shows up in an expose. Comment bots eventually do.

Case study

We priced out the FOMO growth machine with real creator data

The social crypto app that hit a $550M valuation with near-zero paid ads, broken down move by move: the referral salesforce, the micro-creator tutorial volume, and the astroturf blowup. Plus our own ledger numbers on what the honest version costs.

FAQ

Questions web3 brands ask

Yes. The network covers crypto, personal finance, fintech and tech creators. Filter by niche and watch portfolio clips before you hire anyone.

Every brief template carries FTC disclosure requirements: #ad in the caption and verbal disclosure on camera. Contracts cover usage rights, claim boundaries and geo restrictions. We don't replace your legal team, but the guardrails prevent most of what gets web3 brands in trouble.

No. KOL deals are one-off shill posts from large accounts at premium rates. This is volume UGC: many smaller creators making tutorial and testimonial content at flat fees, with disclosure and usage rights signed up front.

That is exactly what this model avoids. Undisclosed affiliate armies and bot comments eventually surface and the brand eats the cost. Every campaign here is paid, disclosed and contracted, which is the version that never shows up in an expose.

Plans start at $99/month and there is a 7-day free trial. You set the rate per creator. Flat-fee UGC campaigns on Roster clear at around $70 per video for nano and micro creators, with mid-tier creators higher depending on deliverables.

Most brands see applicants within 48 hours and finished content within 5-10 days of sending the brief.

Your next thousand users are one brief away.

Tell us about the product. Roster matches you with creators who already talk about crypto, fintech and money - and keeps every post disclosed and inside the lines.
