Web3 teams can use Web3 Forms as a compelling alternative to Google Forms. Token-gated forms create a data-driven way to build forms, enabling you to collect both onchain and offchain data while controlling access through wallet verification. In 2024, Web3 Forms transformed how teams capture onchain data and analyze user behavior onchain. Let’s explore 7 key use cases for Web3 Forms.

Web3 forms boost user engagement, streamline processes, and strengthen brand-community relationships.

Are Web3 Forms better than Google Forms?

Google Forms integrates well with the Google ecosystem but lacks the features Web3 projects need. Think of Google Forms as a basic option for surveys. In contrast, Web3 Forms (token-gated forms) focuses on advanced data collection, offering wallet verification, social media verification (X, Discord, Farcaster, Telegram), and token ownership verification.

Here’s how specific Web3 Forms solve challenges that Google Forms cannot:

• Wallet verification: Web3 Forms help teams to ensure that only verified wallets can access forms, protecting against Sybil attacks and enhancing trust.

• Token gating: projects restrict access based on token ownership, ensuring only community members can view exclusive content.

• Onchain analytics: Web3 Forms capture both onchain and offchain user data, offering insights that traditional form builders can’t match.

• Enhanced customization: Web3 Forms empowers teams to design forms with customizable branding, reflecting the unique identity of each Web3 project.
