Quest Marketplace
The Quest Marketplace is where DegensQuest players complete quests — multi-step missions that reward XP, $DEGEN, QUEST, in-game items, and real partner rewards. It’s also where brands, protocols, and creators run campaigns to bring qualified players to their product.
Every quest is an instance of a reusable provider (an action archetype like “join a Telegram channel,” “complete a swap on Base,” or “pass a quiz”) configured by a sponsor, verified automatically, and paid out through an audit-ready reward engine.
Two sides of the marketplace
| If you are a… | You can… | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Player | Browse quests, complete steps, prove them, and claim rewards | For Players |
| Sponsor / Creator | Run a campaign, fund rewards, target players, and track ROI | For Sponsors & Creators |
| Builder | Create a quest hands-on in the five-step Campaign Builder | Creator Studio |
How it works at a glance
- A sponsor or creator configures a quest from a provider and funds its rewards.
- After approval, the quest goes live and appears in the discovery feed.
- A player enrolls and works through the quest’s steps.
- Each step is verified — a Telegram membership check, an on-chain transaction, a signed message, a quiz, a dwell timer, and more.
- On completion, rewards are released exactly once and recorded in an append-only log for audit.
Quests are never labelled “ads” or “offers.” Players only ever see RPG-flavored tiers — Daily, Epic, Legendary, and seasonal quests.
Why it’s trustworthy
- Deterministic, replayable payouts. Quest providers are pure functions; an enrollment can be replayed from its log to re-derive the exact same rewards — the foundation of audit-ready payments.
- Modular verification. Every step declares what must be proven; a dedicated adapter does the actual checking (chain RPC, Telegram API, quiz key, etc.). Adding a new proof type never changes the reward logic.
- Escrow-backed partner rewards. Real external value (partner tokens, NFTs, whitelist spots) is pre-funded into on-chain escrow and released against a verified claim.
- Human approval where it matters. Low-risk recurring quests can auto-publish; anything sponsor-funded or higher-risk routes through a review queue.
