Hi everyone, and Happy New Year! 
I wanted to bring up something important: projects are the heart and soul of any blockchain. Without them, even the best technology can feel empty. So, how can we encourage more projects to build on Hydra or even expand to include Hydra in their plans?
We all know what makes Hydra great and even better than current Tier 1 chains:
Super-fast transactions (finalized in 0.5 seconds!) that don’t sacrifice decentralization.
Low fees that make sending even tiny amounts affordable.
Easy tools for developers like full support for Ethereum-based apps and wallets.
Now that Hydra has all these advantages, the big question is: How do we get developers to notice us and start using the chain?
Let’s brainstorm together! Some ideas might be:
Offering grants or rewards to projects that launch on Hydra.
Organize contests to show developers what Hydra can do.
Partnering with platforms or influencers to spread the word about Hydra’s strengths.
This is a huge opportunity for us to grow! Let’s share ideas and make Hydra the go-to place for new and exciting projects.
Please share your thoughts, I feel we have the momentum of the bullmarket working for us as long as we as a community come together and work on it. Lets start by sharing ideas.

I love the initiative to start a conversation about what we as a community can do.
I hope everyone in the community will pitch in and share ideas.
I do think we need some more pieces in place before we will be really attractive for existing projects, but it doesn’t hurt to start talking and reaching out to projects (preferably one that we are active in). I would guess most of the Hydra Hodlers also hold other tokens and perhaps active in their community and have some credibility there, this could be a good starting point?

I think this is one of the most important topic right now, to ensure that the project can reach out to a further audience. But it won’t be straightforward, since we need to attract more users / community first, in order to get the attention of the developers, and project managers.
My first suggestion would be to get the new chain integrated in the current partnership project Sugarverse, making it available to connect to an Hydra wallet to get game rewards. This would work as a real case integration scenario, and use it as an example for other already existing projects.
I’d also bet on getting Hydra known to more crypto users. That doesn’t seem to work by using traditional marketing / paid articles and ads, so we could try a different approach: getting Hydra available in as many on/off ramp and swap platforms as possible (DeXes).
We all know that getting listed on new CeXs is complicated and very, very expensive, so this could be our next best option. When it’s time to do a transaction, usually users tend to search for the least expensive option in terms of fees, and use it as an intermediate for whatever they’re trying to do (buy/sell fiat, for example). So this would work as a first contact with Hydra for many new potential users.
That’s at least how I got to buy and use many other projects that I didn’t previously knew
Reach out to indie game devs and let them get small funding if they include NFTs by Hydra.
