Which platform and campaign outcome should you choose?
Choose the platform based on the action you need to verify and the experience you want participants to have. Galxe and Zealy both support quest-style participation, but your campaign should start with its purpose, not a platform feature list.
Write one sentence describing the outcome. For example: “Help new users understand the core product flow” is more actionable than “grow the community.” Then decide what evidence would show progress: a completed on-chain action, a connected account, a thoughtful response, or continued participation in a community activity. The available checks depend on the platform and task type, so confirm that your intended verification is supported before building the campaign.
Use this decision checklist:
- Pick Galxe when the campaign depends on supported credentials or verifiable actions that fit its quest setup.
- Pick Zealy when you want to organize recurring community tasks and make ongoing participation easy to follow.
- Keep a task on either platform only if it advances the campaign outcome and can be reviewed fairly.
- If you need both discovery and ongoing participation, give each platform a distinct role rather than duplicating every task.
Review the current campaign options on Galxe and Zealy before committing. For related community planning, see quest campaign services and community growth and engagement.
How do you design quest tasks people can actually complete?
Design a short path from learning about the project to taking a meaningful action. Each task should have one clear instruction, a defined completion condition, and a reason it belongs in the campaign. If participants cannot tell what to do or how completion is checked, expect avoidable questions and disputes.
A practical campaign can combine different kinds of tasks, but each should serve a purpose:
- Learn: Read a specific product page or watch an explanation, then answer a question that checks understanding.
- Explore: Connect a supported account or complete an eligible product action.
- Contribute: Submit feedback, a useful community response, or a piece of user-generated content with stated quality criteria.
- Return: Complete a later task that encourages continued product or community participation.
Keep instructions concrete. Name the destination, the action, any required account, and what participants should submit. For open-ended contributions, explain how reviewers will assess relevance and originality. Avoid making every task a social follow or repost: these actions are easy to complete but provide weak evidence of product understanding on their own.
Order tasks so a newcomer can start without prior context. Put prerequisites first, explain any wallet or account requirements before participation, and test the full path from a participant’s perspective. If you are also planning a broader campaign, use this token launch checklist to align the quest with launch communications.
What anti-sybil checks belong in a quest campaign?
Use checks that are proportionate to the reward and the action’s value. Anti-sybil design is not a single setting: it combines task verification, eligibility rules, review procedures, and clear handling of exceptions. Decide these before launch so participants are judged consistently.
For every task, record how completion will be established. A supported on-chain condition may be checked differently from a social action or written submission. Where a platform offers a verification method that matches the task, configure and test it. Where completion needs human judgment, define review criteria and keep a record of decisions. Do not describe a task as verified if it only relies on a participant’s unreviewed claim.
Before publishing, make a verification plan:
- List the evidence required for each task and who can access it.
- State any account, wallet, region, or timing eligibility requirements that apply.
- Check whether repeat entries or linked accounts are handled by the platform’s available controls.
- Explain how participants can ask about a rejected completion and what information to include.
- Avoid collecting personal information unless it is necessary and you have a clear process for handling it.
Controls can reduce low-quality participation, but they cannot make every identity or contribution independently certain. Do not ask for sensitive credentials or imply that completing a quest establishes a financial benefit. For more on community participation beyond quests, see community activation.
How should you structure quest rewards and eligibility?
Set reward rules before choosing the reward format. Participants should be able to understand what qualifies, how winners or eligible accounts are determined, and when the team expects to complete review and distribution. Clear terms reduce confusion and make the campaign easier to operate.
First, tie the reward to the intended behavior. Recognition, access, a community role, or a token-related reward each creates different expectations. A reward should not suggest that a token will rise in value or that participation guarantees a future allocation. If rewards are limited, state the eligibility method and selection process in the campaign terms. If everyone who meets the criteria is eligible, explain any remaining review steps and distribution conditions.
Prepare a reward checklist:
- Confirm what the reward is and whether it is transferable.
- Define the exact task and eligibility requirements that qualify a participant.
- Explain how duplicate, incomplete, or ineligible submissions are handled.
- Confirm the distribution method, responsible team member, and expected sequence of communications.
- Test claim instructions and make sure participants know which account or wallet to use.
Treat reward distribution as part of the campaign, not an afterthought. Keep a review log, reconcile eligible entries with the published rules, and tell participants when a decision is final. If the campaign includes an airdrop, read the separate airdrop guide and keep its eligibility and communications aligned with the quest.
How do you launch and measure a Galxe or Zealy quest?
Launch only after the participant journey and review process have both been tested. A polished task page is not enough: links, conditions, reward language, and internal ownership all need to work together from the first visit through follow-up.
Before opening participation, have someone who did not build the quest complete it as a newcomer. Ask them to follow the instructions without verbal help. Correct unclear wording, broken destinations, mismatched eligibility rules, and any task whose completion evidence cannot be reviewed. Give the community team a prepared answer for common questions and a route for escalating unusual cases.
Build a simple reporting view around the campaign goal. Track visits and starts where the platform makes that information available, then separate task completion from the outcomes that matter to the project. For example, a completed learning task is not the same as a user returning to the product. Report the definitions you used, the review status, common drop-off points, and unresolved issues. Avoid presenting entry totals as proof of durable community or product growth.
After the campaign closes, use the findings to improve the next one: remove tasks with unclear value, simplify steps where participants got stuck, and preserve checks that helped distinguish valid work. If the goal includes a wider social conversation, coordinate the quest with X community engagement or a crypto KOL campaign, while keeping each channel’s role clear.
What can Galxe and Zealy control, and what stays outside the campaign?
A quest team controls its campaign design, published rules, review process, and agreed reward delivery; it does not control every platform decision or participant outcome. Galxe and Zealy determine their own product features, verification availability, account handling, and enforcement under their current policies. Their interfaces and rules can change, so check the live platform guidance during setup rather than relying on an old campaign template.
In particular, a platform may review or restrict campaign content or accounts under its policies, and a task may not have the verification option your plan assumes. A listing in a quest interface also does not mean the platform endorses the project, guarantees reach, or certifies every participant. The team cannot promise a particular ranking, placement, volume of eligible entries, or long-term user behavior. Promise only the work and placements explicitly agreed with the platform or campaign partner.
Reduce operational surprises by keeping a fallback plan:
- Save a copy of the approved task text, terms, and reward conditions.
- Name who can respond if a task becomes unavailable or needs correction.
- Tell participants how you will communicate a material change.
- Keep reward distribution separate from assumptions about platform visibility.
If review raises an issue, pause the affected task, document the change, and communicate updated eligibility before continuing. Do not quietly alter completed-task criteria after people have participated. For a broader view of complementary visibility channels, browse trending campaigns or listings and verification.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to prepare a Galxe or Zealy quest campaign?
Allow time to agree on the goal, write tasks and eligibility terms, configure checks, and test the participant journey. The timeline is shaped by how many tasks need review, whether reward distribution needs coordination, and how quickly the project team approves copy. Start planning before the date you want participation to open.
How much does a Galxe or Zealy quest campaign cost?
The cost depends on the scope of campaign design, setup, review, and reporting you need. The listed starting point for guided campaign support is from $860 / campaign. Confirm which tasks, checks, and deliverables are included before approving a scope.
Which is better for a quest campaign, Galxe or Zealy?
Neither is automatically better; choose based on the actions, verification, and participation flow your campaign needs. Compare the current platform options against your task plan, then test the exact participant journey before publishing. If you want ongoing community tasks, make sure the format supports your team’s review capacity.
What should I prepare before creating a quest?
Prepare a one-sentence campaign goal, task instructions, eligibility rules, reward terms, destination links, and an owner for participant questions. Also decide how each task will be checked and what evidence reviewers need. Having these ready makes platform setup and approval much more straightforward.
How can I reduce Sybil participation in a quest?
Use task-specific verification, consistent eligibility rules, and human review where the task requires judgment. Test the available platform checks and explain how incomplete or repeated submissions are handled. These controls help you review entries more carefully, but they cannot establish every participant’s identity with certainty.
Can a quest campaign guarantee visibility or a particular number of participants?
No. Platform review, available verification features, account decisions, and how a campaign is surfaced are controlled by Galxe or Zealy, not by the campaign team. Participation and eligibility also depend on how people respond to the tasks. You can define the work, rules, and reporting clearly, but should not promise a specific placement or participant volume.
What should a quest campaign report include?
Include the campaign goal, task definitions, available participation and completion data, eligibility review status, reward distribution status, and issues encountered. Explain how you counted valid completion and note where platform data was unavailable. End with practical recommendations for improving the task path or follow-up.
