Airdrops reward the past. What if they could shape the future?

We recently introduced Milestones — programmable, future-facing KPIs that dynamically unlock tokens with progressive usage. It's the evolution of airdrops that aligns users and protocols.

Milestones extend token distribution beyond an airdrop to an ongoing, behavior-driven process. Any dapp or chain can use them. Simple examples:

1. Provide liquidity for 30, 60, 90D → Unlock 10, 20, 30 tokens.

2. Use 5 apps + active in 3 months → Unlock 50 tokens.

Milestones are tokenomics 2.0 for all of crypto. They ensure tokens drive future activity and ongoing participation. Ready to evolve your token economy?

Mint your free CUBE

The largest value creation event in the history of the web has been the monetization of attention — until now. Our mission is to unleash an unprecedented $500B+ in value issuance to users by decentralizing this model.

We’re solving the dual problem of attention and distribution in crypto:

• Attention, the currency of the internet, is monopolized by centralized tech behemoths.

• The decentralized protocols challenging this system face major distribution hurdles.

Layer3’s omnichain identity and distribution protocol creates an unrivaled flywheel effect, where crypto consumers turn their attention to new projects while being rewarded for onchain activity.

Arbitrum, Base, Celo, Gnosis, Linea, Uniswap, and more than a hundred other crypto teams are using Layer3’s distribution infrastructure. The platform has served over 3M unique users to date across 25 different blockchains including the EVM, Solana, and Cosmos.

Later this year, the Layer3 Foundation will launch the L3 token, along with a new AI-enabled protocol for optimizing distribution strategies.

We want to help more people become active onchain. So claim your free daily gas on Polygon, powered by the new Daily Offers feature on Layer3. Claims reset every 24H.

With Daily Offers, CUBE holders can now earn personalized airdrops for onchain activity every day. Soon, we plan to add the following to Daily Offers:

• Boosted rewards for L3 stakers

• Improved personalization from your activity

• Discovery in additional wallet apps via Daylight

Claim your Daily Offers

• Chains: Arbitrum, zkSync, OP Mainnet, BNB Mainnet, & Base.

• Dapps: Radiant Capital, Koi Finance, Trader Joe, Bungee, PancakeSwap, Uniswap, & GMX.

Mint all three Infinity CUBEs to fully optimize for L3 Airdrop 2 + a $500K USDC reward pool.

Collect the Infinity CUBEs

By collecting CUBEs, you can unlock rewards for the hottest memecoins on Base and other upcoming chains:

• Hold 300+ CUBEs? Claim a piece of 900K DEGEN in rewards.

• Hold 400+ CUBES? Claim a greater piece of 900K DEGEN in rewards.

Over time, our multichain credentials will enable access to an expanding lineup of Quests with direct rewards. *Note: We are currently experimenting with new ways to reward CUBE holders. Please share feedback on this and future drops in Discord so we can calibrate accordingly!

Claim the DEGEN Drop

We’re building a decentralized distribution network with advanced discovery and incentive mechanisms. Find any dapp, chain, or wallet from DeFi to gaming and more on Layer3. In particular, we’re doubling down on empowering onchain creators.

A vibrant creator ecosystem of new chains (Zora) and dapps for art (Highlight), music (Sound), writing (Paragraph), and podcasts (Pods) has been emerging. Onchain media is a significant evolution in how content is created and shared on the Internet today, enabling:

• Direct ownership and provable authenticity for both creators and collectors

• More transparent and equitable monetization with censorship-resistance

Anyone, anywhere can begin creating anything (and earning) on the platforms above. No permission needed. However, this new sector is emerging with an open question — how can you optimize for attention in the crypto creator economy?

Layer3 can help unlock new audiences while rewarding new and loyal supporters. For leading creators (such as Bright Moments, Coop Records, EIC, Levy.eth, Xcelencia, etc.) our onchain experiences have driven over 100K mints across Zora, Paragraph, Sound, and Highlight.

Our Quests are distributed across layer3.xyz and beyond — as Farcaster Frames, Paragraph Embeds, and via the Daylight network. We’ve connected many of crypto’s top creators with thousands of collectors while distributing over $100K in token rewards. Creators can reward any token, from OP to DEGEN, via Layer3.

Layer3 is excited to offer incentive matching for Creators — up to 400 OP per mint — to be fully distributed as rewards for users. Details:

• Users receive the OP reward by completing each Quest on Layer3.

• Creators are welcome to run their own incentivized campaigns beyond any OP matching; however, they must fully self-fund these mints. All rewards will be distributed to users.

• Layer3 will soon introduce a "Retro-Rewards" program where users collecting NFTs through our Quests become eligible for future rewards based on Quests completed in the past.

A Quest should include:

• One on-chain action, i.e. mint a *free NFT on Sound, Zora, mint.fun, Highlight, Paragraph, etc.

• One Warpcast verification, i.e. follow an account on Warpcast or hold a “Power User” Badge.

*Note: We recommend subsidizing at least 70% of the total transaction cost in rewards to encourage greater participation for each Quest.

Collaborating with Layer3 can enhance your visibility on trending pages on creator platforms to potentially drive more mints. For crypto creators, Layer3 is the leading engine to expand, engage, and reward your audience. Reach out to us on Warpcast to customize your next campaign.

Partners include Arbitrum, Bungee, Phantom, GMX, Jumper, Sandbox, and Radiant Capital with many more to be revealed over the next few weeks. Complete experiences from these communities via Layer3 to qualify. All partner experiences can be found here.

The Infinity Cubes, long dormant within the Layer3 universe, await the right community to awaken their ancient powers. Scattered across various realms in the ecosystem, these three mystical cubes must be liberated by navigating each Layer3 territory and completing their quests.

When used together, the CUBEs will unite to forge the mighty Trident of Worlds, and enable the holders to wield the most economically valuable resource in crypto; Attention. 

As new chains and protocols are continuously built, they need a way to attract the attention of new participants to proliferate. Cracking this attention economy is the hardest challenge for any ecosystem in crypto today. Layer3 solves this challenge by providing the most widely used and verifiable 'proof of onchain' attention protocol, enabling ecosystem projects to drive user growth through verified incentive campaigns.

The Infinity CUBEs represent the start of this ambitious journey to dominate and decentralise the attention economy where value accrues to the users via tokens.

Pre-TGE Rewards Dashboard

Through a series of three challenges, the Infinity CUBEs will reveal themselves for collection one at a time.

1. Complete quests in each designated area to mint a unique, free CUBE, serving as a collectible NFT.

2. You cannot move onto the next CUBE until you have successfully minted the one prior.

3. Each of the three Infinity CUBEs will unlock an additional airdrop allocation at TGE for holders.

4. Once you’ve collected all three, you can wield the Trident of Worlds NFT by sacrificing your three Infinity CUBEs. This enables you to qualify for the maximum allocation boost.

5. Once you’ve minted each CUBE, join our Discord to claim your new role in the ecosystem.

Taking part in this campaign does not change or dilute any of the rewards earned in Season 1, which are locked. Your share of the total allocation for each CUBE will be impacted by your position on the leaderboard at the end of the campaign and any referrals you’ve made.

Users can accumulate referral points by referring friends to Layer3. 

• Earn 16% of the points your direct referrals earn, and 8% of the points their referrals earn. 

• A limited time 2X referral points bonus is active for all users from May 14th to May 21st.

• Referral points will be used to calculate a multiplier on your allocation.

Our goal is to align with users and ecosystems who will contribute actively to Layer3.

This campaign is designed to reward long-term ecosystem entrants. If you're not committed to actively engaging with Layer3 over an extended period, we ask that you abstain from this campaign to ensure the allocation of rewards remains focused on dedicated participants.

Layer3 is the leading omnichain attention and identity infrastructure trusted by top ecosystems and users in 150 countries.

The L3 token is designed to align attention across multiple chains and networks. It serves as a unifying force, enabling users to accrue value from their contributions and is the central force that will power the future of incentives and identity.

Join us today and traverse the vast expanse of the Layer3 universe as we redefine how protocols and users can both benefit from a share in the new attention economy.

We’re pioneering the future of decentralized identity and value distribution. If you’re interested in building on Layer3 infrastructure, reach out!

Layer3 is not a quest platform. Layer3 is the infrastructure for a new era of user-owned value, powered by our omnichain identity and distribution protocol. We've taken the engine behind these $1T giants and decentralized it by creating an open identity, incentive, and interface network owned by participants.

Attention is a scarce resource, and fragmentation is crypto’s greatest risk. New L1s, L2s, and L3s appear every day, each fighting for mindshare and attention. AI contributions to ecosystems will only exacerbate this issue. Projects will face an exponentially difficult battle to capture user attention, making distribution strategies more critical than ever. Billions of $ are spent to bootstrap new social graphs only for them to wither when communities move to the next thing.

Layer3 challenges this head on by enabling:

1. Projects to reach & build thriving communities and issue value to users who contribute to growth

2. Users to discover protocols and earn via perpetual incentives, pre-token networks, and a unified crosschain identity

The impact and potential of this approach is already evident. In the last 60 days alone, 1M users have explored top ecosystems on Layer3, completing 49M campaigns and claiming 3M multichain credentials (CUBEs). All while our users are becoming owners in the networks they participate in, as seen in last year’s Arbitrum airdrop where they qualified for 20.4% of the token distribution – $302M at today’s prices.

An estimated $500B+ in tokens are earmarked for marketing over the next 5 years, muchof which will happen through infrastructure like Layer3.

Platforms that excel in the three key components of identity, incentives, and interfaces become $1T value creators.

With Layer3, these components become decentralized and user-owned – the value generated by this combination accrues to the users. By putting the ownership and control of these critical components in the hands of the community, Layer3 enables an ecosystem where users directly benefit from the value they create.

• Identity: CUBEs are the fastest-growing multichain identity network, with 4M+ minted since launch 2.5 months ago. As thousands of L1s, L2s, and L3s launch, accelerated by AI, CUBEs serve as the first antidote to fragmented onchain identity by unifying identity and activity across chains. The minting fee ensures the network's integrity over time. Additionally, Layer3’s user-owned KYC credential is coming soon.

• Incentives: Projects issue value to users indirectly through points or directly through tokens on Layer3. Every curated or created points program and airdrop in the ecosystem increasing our market size. Top ecosystems like Linea, Base, and Gnosis increasingly choose Layer3 as the network to distribute value to their users, attracting a wider audience over time.

• Interfaces: Layer3 is the only app where users can explore, earn, build their identity, and trade in one place. We believe value will accrue to the interfaces that retail users enjoy and the protocols powering them. If you haven’t been on the platform in a while, try out the new Layer3 today, it’s much more enjoyable than before, more updates coming over the coming months.

Our protocol has a beautiful flywheel, where new protocols bring new users and new users attract more protocols, which forms the bedrock for a $1T cryptonative marketing solution. Even if a points program or airdrop happens outside of Layer3 infrastructure, contributors curate and incentivize them for our users to explore, providing a global access point to every ecosystem.

Typically, ~40% of a project’s tokens are allocated to marketing through airdrops, grants, and incentive programs, and Layer3 has proven its value by serving top token ecosystems representing $100B+ in market cap within the short timeframe since launch.

As fragmentation grows and competition for user attention intensifies, top projects consistently choose Layer3 for our unparalleled curation and advanced user experiences. Our network effects drive consistent growth, achieving all-time highs in both bear and bull markets, showcasing the long-term potential of the network.

Layer3 is the catalyst for a new era of user-owned value. By decentralizing identity, incentives, and interfaces, our ecosystem empowers users and projects to unlock unprecedented growth and value creation. Whether you're a user looking to own your data and earn rewards, or a project seeking to build a thriving community, Layer3 is the infrastructure that can make it happen.

We invite you to be part of the journey to build a future where value accrues to the users. If this resonates with you, we’re hiring engineers.

Want to streamline distribution via Layer3 infrastructure? Head to layer3.xyz to curate a space today. Ready to explore? Sign up at layer3.xyz to mint your first CUBE and claim rewards today.

Powered by Ethereum and the OP Superchain — anyone can create profiles, “Cast” messages, and build an open social network on Farcaster. Connect your crypto wallet and ENS for onchain social media on Warpcast (Farcaster’s leading interface).

On Warpcast — you can easily mint NFTs, tip memecoins, and explore Frames as interactive apps in-feed. Frames have helped drive remarkable growth for Farcaster — and a nearly 20x spike in Daily Active Users after being introduced in January.

Our first Frame Quest — which awarded CUBEs to users who Liked & Recasted — was one of the most popular Casts of all time. Since then, we’ve experimented with Quests for:

• Swapping via Uniswap on Base to earn $DEGEN

• Connecting a Solana wallet to earn Layer3 XP

• Collecting a CUBE on Zora to earn $DOG

In Frame, you can easily connect with favorite chains or dapps, mint CUBEs, and claim rewards.

Compared to Web2 social media, Farcaster unlocks unparalleled composability and transparency. With open data, we can see CUBEs are the second-most popular NFTs held by Farcaster users while DEGEN on Base is one of the top tokens traded.

The Farcaster community loves CUBEs, memecoins, and Superchains such as Base and Zora.

What will you build with Layer3 Quests as Farcaster Frames? Teams and creators can now:

• Identify users by power user badge, follower count, etc.

• Incentivize onchain actions with ETH, stablecoins, memecoins, NFTs, points, & more

• Reach audiences across Farcaster, Layer3.xyz, Paragraph, Daylight, and beyond

• Support 30+ chains and hundreds of composable dapps

We hope to be valuable contributors to the Farcosystem while decentralization is its virtue. The Web2 vs. Web3 social media wars have begun, and open protocols should win in the end.

Users, Creators, Integrators, and Referrers can now earn ownership of their favorite protocols by completing Quests and collecting CUBEs. With new onchain credentials, your achievements are preserved while unlocking Tokens, Dynamic Rewards, & Platform Boosts.

CUBEs for Tokens, XP, and Boosts

Token rewards can now be claimed by collecting CUBEs. With rich credentials representing onchain impact, protocols can now identify and incentivize quality users. Our V2 upgrade delivers the best platform for token distribution — and a vital utility for the cryptoeconomy.

Teams can now go beyond superficial metrics like MAUs or raw transaction counts to incentivize quality active users. Collect CUBEs and complete Quests to claim tokens, Dynamic Rewards, and new platform perks.

How are rewards issued?

Experience Points and tokens such as ETH, OP, and USDC will be issued dynamically upon Quest completion. In other words, higher value transactions (a formula accounting for volume and gas cost) can earn more Dynamic Rewards. Complete Quests to level up in XP, activate Boosts in the Rewards Hub, and claim tokens.

Dynamic Rewards incentivize greater onchain impact. If gas is high, you can earn more. If your transaction value is high, you can also earn more. You can view a breakdown of your Dynamic Rewards in each Quest.

How can you earn ETH from referrals?

You can now earn ETH by sharing Quests with friends – anywhere. For each Quest, you can now easily share its link to earn ETH rewards for anyone who collects a CUBE thereafter. *Note: referrals do not affect in-game progress or mechanics such as XP Boosts.

On the Referrals page, you can track total Quest completions and ETH earnings from wallets you’ve referred. Amplified by Onchain Referrals — users can earn by sharing Quests, integrators are incentivized for Quest Embeds, and creators earn for curating great adventures.

Building blocks for V2

An array of new token-rewarding Quests will soon launch on Layer3. In many cases, these Quests will be unlocked by a user’s level via Layer3 XP.

• Experience Points (XP): Leveling up in experience enables access to new Quests.

• Gems: Our shiny in-game currency can be used to purchase XP Boosts, Swap & Bridge Discounts, Streak Repairs, and more.

On the Rewards Hub you’ll earn Boosts, with CUBEs as the key:

• 2x XP Boosts

• 3x XP Boosts

• Swap Discounts

• Bridge Discounts

Boosts are yours to activate whenever you want and last 24 hours. By collecting CUBEs and progressing on the Rewards Hub you’ll also earn Gems. Gems can be redeemed in the Shop for Boosts or Streak Repairs. Note: XP Boosts cannot be combined — e.g. activating a 3x XP Boost would replace your 2x XP Boost and start a new 24-hour timer.

CUBEs, Gems, and the Rewards Hub

As you progress through our Seasonal Rewards program on the Rewards Hub, you’ll earn Gems and Boosts. Gems can be used to redeem rewards in the Rewards Shop. Next to your profile, you can see accumulated Gems and easily navigate to the Shop. Season One will last 100 days before progress resets and a new Rewards Hub lineup is introduced.

Expanding CUBEs utility

Beginning with in-platform perks and token rewards, CUBEs will enable expansive utility. Soon, CUBEs will unlock key features on Layer3 as well as projects beyond (i.e. beta access to new DEXes, reduced fees for active dapp users, etc.). On our own path to decentralization, CUBEs are the key to bringing Layer3 fully onchain.

Collect CUBEs to claim rewards in our Introductory Quest.

Explore our lineup of new CUBEs Quests here, and stay tuned for our upcoming feature on Onchain Referrals and Dynamic Rewards.
