Any live mints on Zora, Sound, Mirror or Pods can be boosted. It can be published on any date and by any wallet address as long as the mint is active. However, for Zora mints, Boost can only support free mints or mints paid in ETH.

Weekly Scoring & Distribution Questions

8. Where can I check my weekly score, ranking and OP allocation?

To check your weekly score and ranking, head to the Boost Creator Fund Dune Dashboard. Please note that this dashboard provides estimated scoring to help creators keep track. At the end of the week, we will review the data and announce the official winners.

9. How are weekly scores calculated?

Weekly scores are calculated based on the number of boosted mint completions driven. Any additional mints driven outside of boosts do not count toward your score.

Additional multipliers based on key metrics that matter to the Boost ecosystem will also be applied to your score. These metrics are:

• Rewards Claimed ($USD): Amount of rewards ($USD) claimed by Boost Completors

• Verified Farcaster Address: A Boost Completor wallet that is also a custody address associated with a Farcaster account

• First Time Boost Completor: A new Boost Completor wallet to the Boost ecosystem

• Unique Boost Completors: A unique Boost Completor wallet per boost

Scoring methodology and rules will change weekly. Check the Boost Creator Fund Leaderboard for the most up-to-date scoring methodology.

10. How are rewards allocated to winners?

Yes, in Week 3 all creators that applied and are approved will earn a portion of the 30K OP reward pool. Rewards are split based on the percentage of their total score across the participants.

11. How do I receive my OP token rewards?

If you have been rewarded an allocation of the weekly OP reward pool, the tokens will be distributed directly to the wallet that created the boosts. Rewards will be streamed over the span of two months and can be claimed on Sablier.

How to Boost Questions

12. How do I boost a mint?

It only takes a few minutes to boost a Zora, Sound, Mirror or Pods mint. To start, read this guide for creators on how to deploy your first mint boost.

13. Can I use my social or community token as a reward?

Yes! You can use any ERC20 token (i.e. DEGEN, HIGHER, IMAGINE, etc.) to reward users for collecting the mint. Read this short guide on how to use custom token rewards on Boost.

14. What are some strategies to drive more mints?

The higher the reward is for collectors, the more likely they will complete your boost. You will have to experiment to see what works for your mints, but we typically recommend covering about 70-80% of the collector’s cost to transact. Keep in mind that incentivizing mints with Boost will also increase your organic discovery on trending pages to drive you more mints!

TL;DR For the month of May, Boost will be distributing a total of 100K OP to creators who drive the most boosted mint volume to the Superchain using Boost. Read on for more details!

Since the launch of Boost Inbox, we’ve seen more and more creators use Boost as an onchain advertising tool to promote and distribute their work through mints. Creators like Coop Records have successfully used Boost to draw attention to their work and create a new revenue stream. To further support creators, we are launching the Boost Creator Fund, allocating 100K OP to reward creators who drive mints with Boost.

How the Boost Creator Fund Works

From May 4th to June 1st, we will be allocating a total reward pool of 100K OP to creators boosting Zora, Sound.xyz, Mirror or Pods mints on the Superchain (Base, OP Mainnet, Mode, Zora). Each week of the campaign, 10-40K OP will be distributed to the weekly winners.

How Does Scoring and Distribution Work?

Weekly scores are calculated based on the number of boosted mint completions driven. Any additional mints driven outside of boosts do not count toward your score.

To increase your score, additional multipliers are applied based on key metrics that matter to the Boost ecosystem. These metrics are:

• Rewards Claimed ($USD): Amount of rewards ($USD) claimed by Boost Completors

• Verified Farcaster Address: A Boost Completor wallet that is also a custody address associated with a Farcaster account

Attention is a scarce commodity traditionally bought and sold through advertising. In web3, Boost offers brands and individuals the same opportunity to gain distribution, but natively onchain.

After struggling to capture attention, onchain music label Coop Records is now a top Sound.xyz creator driving over $23k in mint fees. The success was possible because they started boosting their artists’ work.

In this post, we'll explore how Coop Records’ playbook strategy for bootstrapping mint distribution and generating onchain revenue.

The challenge

Founded in 2022, Coop Records set out with a clear mission to empower artists to earn from their work without giving up ownership. Through Sound.xyz - an onchain music platform - they monetize their catalogue directly through mints, channelling a majority of revenue to their artists and collaborators. But when the initial excitement of NFTs faded, Coop Records knew they needed to find new ways to attract collectors.

Fortunately, their onchain efforts paid off, earning them over 51k OP in grants from the Optimism RetroPGF. This funding provided a fresh marketing budget to reinvest back into growing their artists.

Similar to how brands use Facebook or Instagram ads to promote their work, Coop Records saw the potential of using Boost as a native onchain advertising tool. By incentivizing mints and paying only for results, they saw a low-risk opportunity to drive distribution and conversion actions.

The magic moment

To start, Coop Records ran several small boosts to test different reward amounts. Knowing that the standard cost for a user to collect a “free” edition song on Sound.xyz is 0.000777 ETH, they wanted to experiment to find the optimal amount to reward users. This ranged anywhere from giving a 50-70% fee rebate in OP to cover the user’s cost to collect.

Because of how easy it is to boost a mint, Coop Records was able to deploy multiple boosts at once, gather data, and iterate and optimize very quickly in real-time.

In fact, it was so easy that within a week, the magic moment happened.

On the Sound.xyz viral chart list, 7 of the top 10 songs were under Coop Records’ label. And just like that, they went from struggling to get distribution and mints to dominating the trending charts. But did this virality translate to profit?

Their playbook guide

"We found Boost to be the most effective and efficient way to drive mints to our catalogue and have been pleasantly surprised by the number of returning collectors that have left meaningful comments and become true fans of the artists on the back of our campaigns.” - Cooper Turley, Founder of Coop Records

Their playbook is simple: use Boost to bootstrap mints, go viral and drive organic mints.

Take a look at ‘Coming Home to You’ by Baker Grace. Released by Coop Records, this song held the #1 spot on the viral chart for weeks and now has over 24k mints. It all started with a single boost that incentivized 300 mints.

Within a few days, the boost claimed out, but the minting didn’t stop. New collectors were discovering the artist through the trending charts and minting it without any incentive, driving a profitable return for the music label.

And Coop Records isn’t the only one finding success with boosting mints. Nearly 80% of Sound.xyz creators on Boost are generating a positive net margin by incentivizing mints. This playbook shows that bootstrapping mints can effectively drive the initial traction necessary for organic growth and distribution to happen.

What is Coop Records’ advice to Sound creators?

“[Boost is] a very tangible way to drive attention to your collection, something that all onchain creators should take very seriously.” - Cooper

Reflecting on their journey, Coop Records shares a simple piece of advice for fellow onchain creators: don’t wait to start. Learn the basics and understand what it means to grow onchain.

Just like how traditional advertising has become the standard to scale distribution, Boost can be used as a tool to drive attention and bootstrap growth for any web3 creator or community. Why wouldn’t you want to start boosting?

The Guild's primary goal is simple: to grow and govern Boost.

Boost grows as more incentive offers are deployed and completed, which grows the Boost Treasury along with it. For every successful boost transaction, the treasury earns a portion of the distributed rewards through the Boost Protocol Rewards.

The Boost Guild is responsible for creating actions that grow Boost, like funding community initiatives or whitelisting new tokens to be added to the protocol.

Roles in the Boost Guild

There are several roles in the Boost Guild that work together to grow and govern Boost. Each role has a special function and role to play to make Boost successful. They are as follows:

Core Team 
The Core Team are core contributors of Boost that make decisions relating to specific admin actions. They are responsible for maintaining the infrastructure and paying the operating costs for the network.

Moderators 
Moderators are high-value participants that have proven their loyalty and commitment to the guild mission through their onchain contributions and transaction value. They are granted the ability to make a number of protocol and Guild decisions, including which tokens to whitelist or onchain actions to add to the protocol. They also govern the acceptance of Contributors and can add or remove members.

Contributors 
Contributors are responsible for providing innovative ideas by initiating proposals on how to spend treasury funds for growth. Proposals are then voted on by the Boost Pass holders. Contributors are currently selected by Moderators.

Community 
Community members are Boost Pass holders who can vote on proposals made by Contributors. This role allows users to demonstrate the value of their onchain contributions and progressively elevate their role within the Guild.

Boost Guild members are stewards of alignment

For each successful Boost transaction, the Guild receives a 10% share of the distributed token rewards. This reward is a recognition of the Guild's efforts in facilitating and driving the completion of boosts.

In addition to this, a small standard claim fee on every boost transaction is collected and distributed to the Boost Guild. While traditional organizations keep profits closed to themselves, the Boost Guild is responsible for distributing the revenue back to the community. They are stewards of alignment that support the healthy growth of several large crypto protocols and the growth of crypto users.

To learn more about how rewards are distributed among participants, read about Boost Protocol Rewards.

Boost Guild’s Guiding Principles

The Boost Guild operates on these core guiding principles that all members must adhere to:

1. Open-source advocates: We believe in open > closed systems. The Boost Protocol and all related tools are open source, enabling anyone to contribute, audit, and improve upon.

2. Onchain devotion: We stand firm on decentralization by conducting all operations and governance onchain, ensuring security, transparency, and alignment.

3. Transparency: Every decision and action is open for scrutiny, reinforcing our commitment to clear and transparent governance.

4. Merit-based rewards: Recognition and rewards are strictly based on contributions and achievements, honoring the value brought by high-value participants.

5. Action-oriented: We focus on initiatives that drive real, measurable onchain activity, ensuring our efforts translate into tangible ecosystem impacts.

These principles are the bedrock of the Boost Guild and serve to guide the actions and decisions that will lead the ecosystem toward a better, decentralized future that benefits all.

What’s next?

The Boost Guild is an iterative and evolving governance system. As it grows and expands, it will continue to transform based on the community’s decision on what brings the most alignment to all participants.

In the coming month, we will open up the next wave of applications for Contributor roles. Boost Pass holders will also begin to onboard to the Guild for voting.

To start, you can join as a Community member by minting your Boost Pass now. This will give your voting rights in the Guild, as well as early access to Boost Inbox when it launches.

Plugins have been an integral part of the internet’s evolution, enabling applications to work together and expand core capabilities. At Quest Protocol, plugins act as the bridge enabling projects to launch high-performance quests on our platform. With the release of our open-source toolkit, QuestDK, any project can build their own plugin and integrate seamlessly to Quest Protocol. This integration offers access to our advanced quest features like audience targeting and detailed action criteria.

But the most powerful advantage of integrating to Quest Protocol is the ability to expand your project’s reach by tapping into our wide distribution network of web3 dapps, including RabbitHole.

In this article, we'll cover the essentials of Quest Plugins and guide you through the process of integrating to Quest Protocol so you can start launching quests for growth and acquisition.

Why Do We Need Quest Plugins?

Every protocol uses different formats and standards to describe transactions, making it difficult for our systems to communicate, understand, and work with each other. That’s why building Quest Plugins is necessary to convert various transaction data into standardized and understandable formats that can be used on our platform.

There are two primary roles of Quest Plugins:

1. Integration of protocol actions: Quest Plugins standardize protocol actions into a consistent schema. This standardization is crucial for integrating a variety of onchain activities into a single system framework.

2. Open-source registry: Quest Plugins offer an accessible registry of protocol actions, allowing anyone to launch quests across different protocols on one single platform.

How do Quest Plugins Work?

Quest Plugins act as translators that take the raw data sent to EVM-native smart contracts and converts it into an easily understandable and standardized format. Once the transaction data is translated, the plugin is categorized into a recognizable action, like 'swap', 'mint', or 'stake'.

For instance, the example below is of Uniswap’s specialized swap contract:

Without a Quest Plugin to translate this information into a standardized format that includes details like chainId amount or recipient, it would not be possible to deploy a quest for this specific action on our platform. All of the inputs are tucked into a bytes array, making it impossible to interpret the transaction data as a ‘swap’ action.

Quest Plugins also enable the creation of quests with specific criteria that we call, ‘action parameters’. These are the details that define a blockchain action within a transaction, like token amount, token type and amount. It’s what differentiates simple quests from dynamic quests.

For example, a simple quest would just require a user to swap from project A to project B. A dynamic quest would specify details like the amount the user must swap and the token and network to be used. This level of granularity is important to align closer to campaign and project goals.

Quick Integration vs Custom Quest Plugin

When integrating your project with Quest Protocol, you have two options: a quick integration into our existing plugins or creating a custom-built plugin. The choice depends on your project's size, complexity, and specific needs.

Quick Integration

For a majority of projects, integrating with Quest Protocol without a custom plugin is a viable and quick option. This approach suits projects whose required quest actions are already supported by Quest Protocol and only involve one contract per action.

In this case, implementation is straightforward. We simply need some basic details about your project and our team will do the integration work. In a matter of days, you’ll be able to start launching quests. It's important to note, however, that this method limits you to creating simple quests without customization on action parameters.

Custom-Built Quest Plugin

Larger projects, particularly those with higher transaction volumes, often benefit from a custom-built Quest Plugin. This is especially true if your project involves actions that correspond to multiple contracts and function signatures.

Building a plugin will allow you to create custom dynamic quests. This approach only requires a day of building and will provide significant strategic benefits. It enables deeper customization, better aligns with project requirements, and offers more detailed data on transactions and user behavior.

If the required action isn’t supported on Quest Protocol, you can submit a request to be reviewed by our team.

The Implementation Process

For early-stage projects, the quick start approach may be the best way to begin with the goal to eventually create a custom Quest Plugin. This strategy is particularly effective for small projects aiming to quickly boost user engagement and activity, without having to invest in technical resources.

There are only two requirements for a quick integration:

1. The quest action is already supported by Quest Protocol

2. The quest action maps to a single contract

If your project meets these requirements, then you may integrate into our existing plugin capabilities for a quick and easy start. Simply submit your project information like logo, project name, smart contract address, and ABI through this intake request form. Once reviewed and approved by our team, we will integrate your project to Quest Protocol without any work required from you.

However, we always encourage projects to build a custom Quest Plugin because of the added customization to create better and more engaging quests for users. Here is a high-level overview of what you may expect if you choose to build a Quest Plugin:

• Scoping: Start by defining your goals for running quests and the specific functionalities and actions your project needs, like swaps, mints, or bridges.

• Build: Work with your technical team to review the Quest-Plugin-Repo and provide a development estimation. Actual build time should take no more than one day for a developer. If there are any issues, the Quest Protocol team is ready to provide support and answer any questions you may have.

• Integration and testing: Once complete, your developer will need to add the project ‘pluginID’ to the plugin registry, generate a changeset and submit the PR. Our team will review the plugin and conduct the integration and testing process. If no issues are found, you can expect to see your project listed on Quest Terminal within days. We recommend that you start by launching a few test quests with your internal team on the allowlist. You can also always reach out to our team on Discord for best quest practices and tips.

• Launch and monitor: Deploy your first quest campaign targeted at your audience. Be sure to promote it on your owned channels and monitor results closely on Quest Terminal’s real-time performance dashboard. As you gather insights, continue to fine-tune quest actions, budget and targeting for optimal results.

About Quest Protocol

Quest Protocol is the most efficient way for anyone to target, acquire, and engage onchain users with token rewards. Built on a foundation of transparency, efficiency, and decentralization, anyone can deploy a quest, access the data and build on top of Quest Protocol. The quest starter-kit includes RabbitHole, the leading frontend client of Quest Protocol with a distribution network of over 300,000 onchain users. To learn more, visit our documentation center.

But the fundamental three-word question is: did it work? Understanding the true success of a campaign goes beyond initial participation metrics. It requires assessing the long-term impact of acquired users, which can only be done with accurate campaign attribution and comprehensive data sets.

In this article, you will learn about Quest Protocol’s built-in attribution system that ensures every quest campaign is automatically tracked and analyzed onchain - no third-party tool required. We streamline the entire quest process, from creation, tracking and measurement so you can understand, without any doubt, how impactful your campaigns performed.

How our built-in attribution system works

Attribution is important because a user’s path to conversion is never linear. They will often engage with multiple channels and touchpoints before performing the converting action. Attribution tracking allows you to understand which specific channel and campaign the user came from so you can allocate more resources to it, or if the channel is a publisher, you can pay out the referral.

To track attribution on other quest platforms, you would have to integrate external web3 attribution services like Spindl or Safary. On Quest Protocol however, we built a sophisticated attribution system natively into the protocol so that all quests deployed are automatically tracked and attributed onchain.

Here’s a high-level overview of the flow:

1. Quest creators initiate a campaign on Quest Protocol and fund it. This funding is securely stored in a smart contract, the core of the campaign.

2. Users land on the quest webpage and connect their wallet to participate.

3. Users are redirected to the native project platform to complete the onchain action required for the quest.

4. The Quest Protocol indexer finds the transaction hash that matches the completed quest and verifies the action.

5. Upon successful verification, the smart contract unlocks the quest rewards. When users claim their rewards on Quest Protocol, the reward and claim fee is appropriately distributed to all contributing parties involved, including the quest participant, quest creator, and referrer.

6. Meanwhile, an event log is emitted and stored onchain as an immutable record. This data can be integrated with other datasets, like on Dune Analytics, for further in-depth analysis of the quest’s impact.

Getting into more details, there are a few key technical elements that enable our attribution tracking:

• Transaction-based Indexer: Unlike other platforms that may use simpler event-based indexing, Quest Protocol uses a transaction-based indexer that provides more in-depth transaction details. This gives a more granular view of quest actions to truly understand user behavior and trends.

• Transaction Hash: Serving as a unique identifier, the transaction hash is crucial for verifying that the specific onchain action matches with the completed quest.

• Smart Contract: Acting as a settlement layer, the smart contract holds and distributes the quest funds to relevant parties, ensuring transparency and security in the reward system.

By embedding these attribution capabilities into the protocol, we offer the most seamless and efficient process for quest campaign management and analysis. This frees projects from needing any additional external tracking or management tools. Along with this unlocks the ability to implement shared revenue onchain, which is a critical component to a fair and sustainable decentralized network.

The power of onchain revenue sharing

Revenue sharing is a powerful tool for incentivizing network participants to contribute to the growth and decentralization of a protocol. It’s a fundamental aspect of how web3 projects operate, thrive and survive.

As part of Quest Protocol’s built-in attribution system, we also enable seamless revenue sharing. This allows you to easily reward publishers for their referral in a very deterministic way.

On Quest Protocol, anyone can generate a referral link for a specific quest and distribute it on their platform or to their audience. When a referred user completes the quest and goes to claim their reward, the referrer and the quest creator will automatically be rewarded for their contribution. Learn more about how our Protocol Rewards works.

The key advantage here is the automation provided by Quest Protocol’s smart contract-based system. If you use other quest platforms, you would be required to use third-party tools to onboard and manage referrals. Quest Protocol is permissionless, meaning anyone can create and refer quests and be rewarded for it. Payout happens transparently onchain, ensuring fair compensation for all contributors without extra effort on the project side.

But the advanced system that we developed at Quest Protocol goes beyond just streamlining the attribution process. The true power it unlocks is the ability to conduct real-time data analysis. You can rapidly iterate and execute quest campaigns with unprecedented speed and efficiency so you can get to optimal results more quickly.

Analyzing long-term impact

Measuring the immediate success of a quest campaign is important for quick iterations, but it only offers a glimpse into the overall effectiveness of your marketing efforts. To truly gauge the success and impact of these campaigns, we have to dig deeper and instead ask the question, what was the impact?

Metrics like return on ad spend (ROAS) can be used to measure the immediate impact of the campaign, but the real value and success of a campaign often unfold over a longer period of time. To get to lower-funnel metrics like lifetime value (LTV) or retention rate, granular user-level data must be available.

If you recall, our transaction-based indexer and transaction hash are two key elements of Quest Protocol’s built-in attribution system. We index very detailed transaction data, but also log it onchain for anyone to verify and analyze.

The information can then be used with other data sets, like on Dune Analytics, to create a comprehensive report on both the immediate and long-term impact of the specific quest campaign.

Start tracking your quests

The power of Quest Protocol is that it models after web2 advertising networks and platforms that are vital to businesses. Whether we like to admit it or not, they are necessary to unlock scaled growth.

On Quest Protocol, you can target audiences, create campaigns, measure impact, refine and launch more campaigns. This creates a virtuous cycle that drives iterative and sustainable growth for projects.

If you are a protocol or project looking to drive user growth and engagement, this guide will walk you through how to launch effective quest-targeted campaigns with Quest Protocol and reach your goals.

What is questing targeting?

Quest targeting is a data-driven approach to user acquisition and engagement by targeting users based on their onchain activity and displaying quests on distribution channels they spend time on. By analyzing wallet addresses, you can draw valuable insights to create highly targeted marketing campaigns tailored to your project’s goals.

Some popular quest-targeting tactics include:

• Activity boost: Drive quick transaction volume and activity on your project.

• Lookalike audience: Attract audiences similar to your existing target users

• Competitor Targeting: Win-over your competitor’s users with incentives

• Nurture: Engage existing users to keep them activated

• Winback: Engage users that left or have gone dormant

• Upsell: Encourage users to increase their holdings with incremental, conditional quests

To achieve optimal results for your quest-targeted campaigns, it’s important to adopt the practice of continuously refining your quest strategies. The best way to do this is to experiment and launch multiple, mini-conditional quests. At Quest Protocol, we provide the easiest and most efficient tools to do that.

📈 Check out how we’ve driven nearly 40k+ new wallet addresses to Optimism with quest-targeted campaigns. See the live dashboard.

4 steps to launch a quest-targeted campaign

Creating a quest takes a few minutes and we broke it down into four simple steps. First head to Quest Terminal, the premium targeting platform where anyone can launch quests, no permission required.

1. Define the quest action

Depending on your project and goals, select the specific quest action you’d like the user to complete by specifying details like project, amount, token, and network.

To acquire more users, choose a simple onchain action that can reach more users, like choosing a popular token to swap. If you’d like to engage a smaller group of users or target experienced users, set the action as detailed as possible.

2. Select or create a custom audience

Quest Terminal comes with 10+ preset audience lists to choose from, or upload your custom csv list of audiences for the best results.

To target the right audience with precision, you can include or exclude any audience list that the quest will be available for.

Here are some common quest objectives and how the audience lists should be setup to achieve the goals:

Note that the public audience list is Quest Protocol’s distribution network of over 300,000+ onchain users on RabbitHole. The list is also pre-screened and filtered for sybil users.

3. Set the optimal token reward amount

There is an important balance to choosing how much you want to spend on a quest campaign and reward each user. Keeping gas fees in mind, here are some suggestions on token reward amounts based on the size of the eligible audience list:

• Broad audience list: Set reward lower or equal to gas costs.

• Narrow audience: Set reward higher than gas costs

• Narrow and high quest capital required: Set reward significantly higher than gas costs.

4. Schedule and deploy!

The final step involves choosing your quest launch dates and effortlessly deploying the quest contract with just a few simple clicks. During the transaction deployment process, you'll deposit the required token rewards, which will be automatically distributed to users upon quest completion. At the end of the quest campaign, any remaining unused rewards will be returned to you for your next quest-targeted campaign!

Participation lies at the heart of the crypto ecosystem. It’s the collective effort of countless participants worldwide that ensures the functionality, security, and growth of decentralized protocols. But beyond it being a mechanism for sustaining networks, participation embodies the very ethos of crypto and why it exists - to increase economic opportunities for every individual.

Earlier this year we launched Quest Protocol, making it easy for anyone to deploy a conditional airdrop for an onchain action. Since then, over quest creators have driven 1.2m onchain actions across 2000 quests via the RabbitHole platform.

We've seen firsthand the power of incentivizing participation and its profound impact on growing networks like Base, Uniswap and more. Our journey doesn't stop here. To continue our quest to promote crypto participation, we are expanding our rewards system to be more inclusive and equitable for all.

Introducing Protocol Rewards

Quest Protocol relies on the contributions of several onchain individuals to function and grow. We need a network of participants to create quests, complete them and spread the word–but each relies on the other to thrive and succeed. To strengthen alignment, Protocol Rewards is designed to distribute value equitably to all Quest Protocol contributors.

When a participant successfully completes a quest on RabbitHole and unlocks their reward, a portion of each quest reward is shared with the community and contributors. Here is a breakdown of the shared rewards:

• Protocol Fee: A dynamic fee that amounts to 20% of the total reward per quest completion.

• Claim Fee: A standard fee that amounts to 0.000075 ETH per quest completion.

The goal is to ensure that every contributor is recognized and fairly valued for their efforts. Here are the key contributors within the Quest Protocol ecosystem and their portion of the shared rewards.

Quest Creators

The individuals creating quests are the visionary architects and strategists shaping the landscape of token distribution strategies. They are typically independent contributors or entities that represent an online community, DAO, protocol or agency.

For instance, SixDegree is an analytics agency that works with crypto clients to analyze onchain user behavior. To assist clients like ParaSwap in achieving their business objectives, SixDegree utilizes Quest Terminal, an application built on Quest Protocol, to programmatically launch quests.

Designing and creating quests is a crucial but challenging role. It requires strategically distributing tokens in a way that attracts participants, encourages engagement, and drives meaningful results specific to the network. That’s why incentivizing quest creators like SixDegree is important to encourage innovation and drive demand for protocol participation.

For each successful completion of a quest, the original quest creator is rewarded 10% of the total quest reward (originating from the protocol fee), plus a standard 0.000025 ETH (originating from the claim fee).

Quest Participants

While quest creators are the masterminds enabling crypto participation, the individuals completing the quests are the driving force behind protocol growth. Once quests are created, they can be found on gateway platforms like RabbitHole, built on Quest Protocol. This is where participants can easily explore, engage with, and contribute to a wide range of active quests.

Upon the successful completion and verification of a quest, participants are rewarded with the protocol tokens or assets associated with the quest. The reward amount and type differ and is specified within the details of each quest.

However, distributing rewards is more than just about driving short-term growth metrics. Offering token incentives is a strategy for protocols to find and attract potential evangelists. This is the true path to creating a sustainable network: invested participants working collectively towards network expansion.

Quest Referrers

To spread the widespread adoption of quests, our network of referrers is vital to promoting and expanding distribution. These individuals or entities may be publishers, affiliates, developers or independent referrers.

QuestBot is an example of a referral partner that promotes and drives participants to RabbitHole. Their Twitter bot notifies followers when a new quest has been created and refers them to the platform to complete them.

As a reward, referral partners like QuestBot receive a portion of each quest reward completed through their referral link or platform. For each successful completion of a quest, the referrer is rewarded a standard 0.000025 ETH (originating from the claim fee).

Any individual and entity can create new passive earning opportunities by connecting the best crypto participants to quests. This ensures that Quest Protocol maintains a wide and robust distribution network.

A Self-Sustained Cycle of Growth

Together, these reward mechanisms power a virtuous cycle of growth and engagement. Rewarding quest creators will encourage the creation of more innovative token distribution strategies, which will attract more participants and promote the growth of protocols.

This marks a departure from popular growth tactics like airdrops that have notoriously failed many protocols. While they are great hacks to generate immediate excitement and boost user activity, engagement is often short-lived and unsustainable.

The flywheel effect of the Protocol Rewards tackles the long-standing challenge of maintaining and nurturing engagement in crypto. By distributing a share of the quest reward to all contributors—including the quest creator, participant and referrer—every role in the ecosystem is incentivized to continuously engage with networks.

What’s Next for Quest Protocol

As Quest Protocol evolves, we aim to progressively transition governance into the hands of the community members. This means that those who are actively engaged and invested in the protocol’s growth will also become its decision-makers. This will bring us closer to becoming a self-sustained, decentralized protocol most aligned with the collective interests of our contributors.

Protocol Rewards marks a significant stride towards realizing this vision. Rewarding every participant within the Quest Protocol ecosystem supports collaboration, inclusivity, and, most importantly, sustainable growth.

Our next step will be to grant developers access to QuestDK and API to create their own Quest-powered applications similar to Quest Terminal and Rabbithole. This will expand distribution and allow Quest Protocol to flourish into a vibrant ecosystem of applications. Developers will also join in earning Protocol Rewards, opening up new economic opportunities.

Start Earning Rewards

To learn more about the Protocol Rewards, read our documentation. If you’d like to become a contributor within Quest Protocol and earn rewards, head to RabbitHole to explore active quests or deploy your own quest on Quest Terminal. If you are a creator, share RabbitHole to earn passive rewards.

Base has already had $192m total value locked just three weeks into the network launching, with dozens of unique applications built on top like friend.tech and words3.xyz. We are excited to support new applications launching on top of Base, who can tap into RabbitHole’s crypto-native userbase using Quest Terminal.

If you want to get access to more quests on Base, consider bridging ETH to Base and building activity on a single wallet. The more activity you complete, the more you prove your value, and the more potential earning opportunities that you become eligible for.

The first Base quests are now live on RabbitHole, which include Tokepad and BaseSwap. Each quest enables users to earn NFT rewards which enable users to build their onchain activity in the Base ecosystem.

We invite you to start your journey on Base with RabbitHole today and experience what onchain summer has to offer.

While these trends are set to improve the arduous crypto onboarding experience, they also intensify the competition for user attention, liquidity, and transactions. In recent years, this battle for attention has played out across various airdrop tactics. However, as the UX barriers imposed by crypto wallets fade away, consumers will be greeted by an abundance of crypto-enabled apps vying for their attention. This raises an important question: how will apps acquire and retain users in this emerging landscape?

In this post, we’ll explore how the adoption of intents is shifting the token distribution meta down-funnel with micro-reward incentives, gradually transforming loyal users into owners.

A more intentional Crypto

In order to understand where the future battles for attention will carry out, one must first understand the fundamental shifts occurring that account abstraction, as proposed in EIP-4337, and Multi-Party Computation solutions such as Capsule, are introducing to the ecosystem.

In short, a new wrapper of a transaction, the “intent”, has been introduced with the purpose of offloading the reasoning that users are burdened with when constructing and signing transactions– this is the source of many UX problems crypto has suffered from. If transactions describe “how” an action should be executed, an intent describes “what” the outcome of an action should be, without being concerned of the execution path. Intents move the reasoning of how to construct a transaction to the application layer, off of the blockchain, ultimately allowing the application to decide the execution path for the user’s action.

As you may imagine, this has profound effects on MEV, as intents are pseudo-transactions that are organized in private mempools, off chain, before they’re submitted to the public mempool. The key difference in this world of intents is that applications control how intents are translated into transactions, and since block builders are interested in maximizing the extractable value of each block, they’re motivated buyers of these pseudo-transactions.

This model introduces a fundamental shift in where competitive moats will form. It’s no longer as important to differentiate through building better infrastructure. Instead, building engaging experiences that capture and retain user interest is the differentiator, and the economic incentive to capture the flow of intents, is the catalyst.

The stakes are higher than ever for applications to acquire and retain users.

Uncomfortable truths

Jim O'Brien

@jimobriennn

Retention through micro-rewards is the new token distribution meta. The golden era of airdrops is over. Web2 ads will become the web3 user acquisition playbook thanks to wallet abstractions.

21

7:44 PM • Jul 24, 2023

Cracking acquisition and retention in non-crypto apps requires relentless experimentation and fine-tuning, and this is no different for crypto-enabled apps. With the adoption of intents and wallet abstractions, the differences between traditional and crypto become harder to discern at the top of the acquisition funnel.

As such, we believe ad buys on traditional media platforms will displace airdrops as the dominant acquisition strategy for crypto-enabled apps, given that with wallet abstraction, prospective users can onboard without being hurdled into a brick wall. It’s an uncomfortable truth for some as crypto takes aim at growing its pie of users.

But once acquired, what will make users want to stick around? This is where crypto offers a unique advantage over traditional retargeting campaigns and loyalty points. The things that have always driven retention – perception of positive value exchange and incentives that reward repeat use – still hold true in crypto, but with one important difference: ownership.

Airdrops in their current form have repeatedly proven to be costly and ineffective at aligning incentives with actual participants. On a CAC basis, the performance of traditional advertising is superior to that of any airdrop– another uncomfortable truth. Apps will weigh how airdrops fit into their growth and retention strategies, and chances are, they don’t. At least not in their current form. The golden age of airdrops is behind us.

Instead, apps will look to distribute tokens down-funnel as a form of loyalty incentive to reward retentive behaviors. This is the new token distribution meta.

Creating the Next Billion Owners

With the abstracted crypto of the future, the “next billion” users are likely to be unaware that they’re interacting with blockchains at all, and this is in large part a necessary step in the maturation of the ecosystem. However, the good parts of crypto – the permissionless, user-owned, and interoperable parts that differentiate the crypto-enabled – will be exposed to newcomers for the first time, in the form of automated loyalty incentives.

Central to the new token distribution meta is a shift from “big bang” airdrops towards a more continuous and engaging incentive system. Frequent micro-rewards, delivered instantly, is the optimal way to simultaneously drive retentive behaviors, while rewarding user contribution with ownership.

At RabbitHole, we’ve been hard at work building for this future. In June we launched Terminal, a permissionless, self-serve tool that demonstrates the advantages of a micro-reward approach in acquiring crypto-native users. Looking ahead, we’re excited to share more about what we’re doing to enable micro-reward incentives in every app. Stay tuned.

Sound interesting? We’re hiring. Join us.

Ethereum's L2 solutions like zkSync are crucial for the crypto ecosystem as they offer fast, inexpensive transactions while alleviating congestion on the Ethereum mainnet. This contributes to a more efficient and accessible Ethereum network for all users. In addition to zkSync, RabbitHole will be adding support for other L2s over the coming months as well.

Matter Labs, the creator of zkSync, has secured a total of $458m in funding from leading investors including Blockchain Capital, A16Z, Dragonfly, and Lightspeed Ventures. Since the network's launch in March, zkSync Era has quickly become one of the most popular L2 solutions, with over 1.5 million addresses and a TVL exceeding $500 million.

The first zkSync Era quests are now available on RabbitHole and include SyncSwap, EraLend, and Maverick. Each quest enables users to earn NFT rewards while building their onchain history in the zkSync ecosystem. The more quests you complete, the more quest rewards you become eligible for.

We invite you to start your journey on zkSync with RabbitHole today and experience the future of ZK L2 technology firsthand! Start completing quests here

Before we tell you more about Quest Terminal, let’s talk about why the current playbook for distributing tokens is broken:

• Retroactive one-time airdrops lead to unsustainable growth and protocols with a CAC over $2,000

• Sybil resistance is a cat and mouse game with 30% of airdrop recipients being sybil addresses

• The majority of tokens end up in the hands of insiders rather than the community, with treasuries accumulating billions of dollars and no good way to spend them.

A new playbook for token distributions

Last year, we started building the stack for a new playbook, one that embraced participants of networks being the token distributor, rather than the protocol creator itself. Our core insight is that if networks want to be decentralized, then we need decentralized ways of distributing tokens and growing networks - akin to a cryptonative ad network.

We decided on the following:

1. A decentralized protocol that makes it easy to distribute ERC20s for the completion of onchain actions in the form of “Quests” (Quest Protocol)

2. An aggregator of “Quests” that makes it easy to discover earning opportunities based on your wallet address (RabbitHole V2)

3. An interface for building eligibility criteria, deploying quests to the Quest Protocol, and monitoring results (Quest Terminal)

4. An SDK that makes it easy to integrate Quests from the protocol into any interface (Quest SDK) coming soon!

The Quest Terminal is a key part to the plan, because it’s the first time that quest deployment is open to anyone. With Quest Terminal, quests will be deployed directly to RabbitHole, and eventually any interface that has the SDK, representing the Quest Network.

Our Philosophy about the future of token distributions

We made a number of design decisions with Quest Terminal, which is entrenched in our philosophy of token distributions.

1. Anyone can deploy a quest, no permission necessary. If protocols want to truly be decentralized, anyone should be able to incentivize any onchain action, rather than just the core team itself.

2. Allowlist strategies must evolve. For protocols to get high quality users, they need to strategically target users and price distributions based on who will add value to the protocol moving forward.

3. Token distributions are iterative, experimental games. Similar to ads, token distribution opportunities require constant experimentation on what incentives will drive certain behaviors. We believe that protocols should deploy micro experiments and iterate based on results, rather than do a one time airdrop.

Start Deploying Quests Today

We’ve decided to do a guarded launch for the rollout of Quest Terminal to ensure that users on RabbitHole have an enjoyable user experience. To deploy quests and create Allowlists in the Quest Terminal, you’ll need an NFT of what we call a Terminal Access Key. You can obtain a key by filling out this form on why you’d like to deploy a quest, or you can buy one here on OpenSea. We plan on rolling out access to everyone by the end of the year.

We’re excited about the future of decentralized token distributions, and we think onchain Quests will be a necessary primitive if decentralized protocols want to evolve in its next stage of growth while finding new ways to bring continuous participants into the network.

We know that not everyone can be glued to their screens, constantly refreshing RabbitHole to stay informed. So, to better serve our community, we're introducing two types of notifications: Quest Eligibility and Quest Completion.

1. Quest Eligibility - Our users have expressed their desire to stay informed about newly available quests. With Quest Eligibility notifications, you will no longer have to worry about missing out on a quest simply because you weren't aware of it. When you're eligible for a new quest and on an allowlist, we'll notify you as soon as the quest goes live.

2. Quest Completion - As you progress through RabbitHole and complete tasks that are part of a quest, we want to ensure you're kept in the loop. With Quest Completion notifications, you'll receive updates as you become eligible to mint a receipt and complete the quest, all without needing to refresh RabbitHole.

To make sure you're always connected, users will receive notifications both in-app and via email. Additionally, our RabbitHole community moderators have created a convenient way to stay updated on new public quests through Discord.

We hope these new features will make your RabbitHole experience even more enjoyable and seamless. Happy questing!
