What is the User Research DAO?

The User Research DAO is funded by Near Foundation. We are a group of expert user researchers, highly versed in web3, and dedicated to elevating the knowledge and practice of user research for projects building on NEAR.

We offer support to teams of all sizes and tiers, providing effective, usable, no-nonsense user research support to elevate your UX.

With user research, you can find the answers to these types of questions (and many more)

• Who are our users? What can we learn about them that will inform our business, product and marketing strategy?
• What market or user profile should we be targeting?
• How do people use our product?
• How does our product stack up against competitors?
• Why are we not achieving adoption and retention?
• What features should we prioritise in the backlog?
