Chinese go-to-market · for Web3

Chinese attention, run properly.

Hypersilk is the external go-to-market team for Web3 companies entering Chinese-speaking markets.

KOL campaigns, tier-1 media (PANews, ChainCatcher, Foresight News, Odaily, BlockBeats, Wu Blockchain, Binance Square Chinese), and community (WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Telegram, Chinese X) — Chinese-native, one campaign, one brief.

What we do differently

A growth team that speaks the market.

Most agencies treat the Chinese market as a translation problem. It isn't. It's a relationship problem, a platform problem, and a regulatory-navigation problem — in that order. Hypersilk is built for all three.

01

Chinese-native execution

Our team writes, negotiates, and ships in Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Nothing is translated after the fact. No voice mismatch with the audience, no sentences that read like they came from a glossary.

02

Direct relationships, not a marketplace

We work with tier-1 Chinese media and KOLs through established operator relationships. Rates, editorial access, and placement quality reflect that. We don't list pricing publicly because the market doesn't work that way.

03

Full-stack coverage under one campaign

Media, KOL, community, events, and localization run from a single campaign architecture. You brief once. We sequence the full ladder of touchpoints your launch needs — not four agencies each optimising their own line item.

04

Discreet by default

Chinese crypto is a sensitive operating environment. Our engagements are structured to protect both clients and counterparties — written agreements, careful attribution, no public client rosters, no screenshot-as-social-proof.

Our network

The reach, without the name-dropping.

We keep our roster confidential on purpose — both to protect counterparty trust and to keep the relationships worth something. What we'll share up-front:

How we work

Scope. Sequence. Report.

Three stages. Operator-owned from the first call through the post-campaign read-through.

01 / Scope

A call or two, then a decision.

30–45 minute scoping call. You brief launch, timeline, and constraints. We propose campaign shape — or decline honestly if we're not a fit.

02 / Sequence

One brief, one operator, full ladder.

Monthly retainer across KOL, media, community, and events — or a 60–90 day launch package. You brief once; we sequence every touchpoint your launch needs.

03 / Report

Weekly notes, post-campaign read-through.

Operator-written updates through the live window. Post-campaign read-through covers reach, engagement, community growth, and on-chain attribution where the product allows it.

We don't publish client logos. We don't post screenshots of DMs. We don't bid on your competitor's search terms. If you work with Hypersilk, you're buying an operations partner, not a billboard.

We'll tell you honestly when we're not the right fit — either because your target segment isn't one we have depth in, or because what you actually need is a product decision, not a marketing push.

Frequently asked

Questions before you write in.

What does Hypersilk do?

Hypersilk is an external go-to-market team for Web3 companies expanding into Chinese-speaking markets. We run Chinese-native KOL campaigns, tier-1 Chinese crypto media placement, community activation across WeChat, Binance Square, Xiaohongshu, and Telegram, and event activation across the APAC conference circuit.

Which Chinese markets do you cover?

Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Chinese-speaking communities globally. We work in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese and segment campaigns by jurisdiction and platform.

How are you different from a KOL marketplace?

Hypersilk is a relationship-based agency, not a marketplace. We work with tier-1 Chinese media and KOLs through established operator relationships. That affects rates, editorial access, placement quality, and — critically — the ability to structure sequenced campaigns rather than one-off buys.

Which Chinese crypto media do you work with?

Our tier-1 media roster includes PANews, Foresight News, Odaily, ChainCatcher, BlockBeats, Wu Blockchain, and Binance Square Chinese. Full placement options and rates are shared during scoping under NDA.

Do you publish case studies?

We do not publish client logos or case studies publicly. Chinese crypto is a sensitive operating environment, and we structure engagements to protect both clients and counterparties. References are shared directly with qualified prospects during scoping.

What does a typical engagement look like?

Most engagements run on a monthly retainer with a defined work-stream mix across KOL, media, community, and events. Launch-package engagements also exist for sequenced go-to-market over a 60–90 day window. Scoping typically takes one or two calls.
