Reserve Zealy Quests Review/Analysis

Ideas & suggestions
1

Hey, I recently decided to take the initiative to “take on” the small task that 0xJMG asked for of analyzing/reviewing the new tasks they added on the Reserve Zealy page, so…

I will appreciate the help of all those people who can read the entire review and say their opinions about it [For, against, what would you change, etc].

TL:DR

Recommended changes:

  • Conquer some popular subreddits: “r/DeFi”, “r/Ethereum”, etc.
  • Create the Official Reserve Reddit
  • Improve Daily Tasks
  • New badge: “Redditoooor”
  • Get the Reserve community noticed on Farcaster
  • Make badges more attractive through rewards: NFT’s. POAPs. Merch, etc.

Symbology:

(+) = Positive

(-) = Negative

  1. The task of following on Twitter/X and meeting certain people who make up the Reserve team and the community seemed like an excellent idea to me. (+)

  2. I found the new tasks fun to do and the experience was overall very smooth between tasks (+), BUT… The daily tasks in the category of #Minter, #Staker, #Deployer, #Governor seem somewhat boring to me after the 2nd or 3rd day of doing them and sometimes, it can be seen as “spam”, I suppose it is because they are always the same questions/answers in these categories. It would be a good idea to modify the questions/answers of these daily tasks or if Zealy does not support that type of modifications, not do them daily but rather every 2 or 3 days or weekly. (-).

  3. A possible use of daily tasks would be on some special occasion, some event within the Zealy platform where adding experience really matters. (+)

  4. The tasks do not have a high degree of complexity, at least in my opinion, so people new to the community should not have any problem completing them. Therefore, I would not make any change in the level of difficulty of these. (+)

  5. Reserve arrived at Farcaster!!! (+). Let’s make the presence of the community there by implementing new tasks to be carried out there. To give weight to this, we can focus next month’s CERs on being held there.

  6. There are several things that every web3 community draws attention to that could be used as an incentive to get all the badges:

  • NFTs (they never go out of trend)
  • POAPs (RPay Team applied this a lot for special occasions btw)
  • Merchandise (T-Shirts, Hoodies, Swags, Stickers, Mugs, etc)
  • Tokens Rewards (Perfect for the sprints that can be done in Zealy)
  • Exclusive Access (Although it is already being applied since we have exclusive access to the discord channel #The-Roundtable).

Whats Next? (IMO)

Possible new task/badge: “Redditoooor”

I think it would be a good idea to focus on Reddit, I recently shared a post where a person asked questions about hyUSD, in the “/DeFi” subreddit.

If the Reserve Community is aware of these details on Reddit, where they can contribute knowledge to these people, or they can create publications that generate debate, knowledge, the protocol can be made known in those places, reddit is the place for many people.

Thanks for reading,

Great job, dude. I just learned about POAPs the other day while chatting with Ann. I think that’s a great idea.

I also think it’s a great idea for people to get involved on Reddit but not limited to Reddit. Other places are X, Facebook Groups, Quora, etc. I suggested just this to James when I did an audit for him.

@socopower, thank you sincerely for your insights on the Zealy quests. I have some comments and questions regarding your points:

  1. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by the term “daily” tasks and clarify your definition of “spam”?

  2. I’m pleased to hear that you found the difficulty level to be adequate.

  3. While incentives are undoubtedly crucial, we must exercise caution to ensure that we attract individuals who are aligned with Reserve’s values. We are actively exploring the possibility of incorporating NFTs in future rounds. If you have additional ideas on this matter, please share them.

  4. Could you provide further details on the advantages of Reddit? Some members of our community may be less familiar with it. Additionally, if anyone is interested in taking ownership of our Reddit presence and becoming a moderator, please feel free to reach out to me via DM.

I am eager to hear more from the community about their thoughts on the Zealy quests. They represent an important initial step in engaging curious individuals and educating them about our mission.

Hey @Brody3, sure let me explain in more depth the points you mention.

1. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by the term “daily” tasks and clarify your definition of “spam”?

“Spam” Daily task: These are the tasks that are available in Zealy that can be performed daily, but they are usually composed of predetermined answers. Some examples of these “spam daily tasks” would be the following:

1- Screenshot by Lightshot
2- Screenshot by Lightshot
3- Screenshot by Lightshot
4- Screenshot by Lightshot

2. While incentives are undoubtedly crucial, we must exercise caution to ensure that we attract individuals who are aligned with Reserve’s values. We are actively exploring the possibility of incorporating NFTs in future rounds. If you have additional ideas on this matter, please share them.

Of course, I agree with this… I would only use NFTs/POAPs for special occasions, example:

  • Achieve the “Advocate” badge

  • That the user has collaborated several times with the protocol (Example: Having made quality contributions to the Community Content Rewards Program)

  • Winners of future Hackathons that take place.

  • Etc.

3. Could you provide further details on the advantages of Reddit?

Reddit is an open forum where there are many people interested in DeFi, Stablecoins, New Protocols, etc. In the different subforums that I mentioned in the review, you can find occasions where questions are asked about what the protocol does (Example, someone asking about hyUSD).

Having a presence in those places to free anyone who is interested in the protocol, or in the products that were built through it, from doubts, I see it as something positive.

I initially didn’t pay much attention to Reddit, but now I use it a lot, LOL.
Reddit is the place for curious people.

Hey Alex, Thank you for your amazing feedback! I liked several things you mentioned:

  1. The community hashtags
  2. TikTok/Instagram Reels/ YT Shorts.
  3. Your support towards the possibility of starting to conquer Reddit.
  4. That NFTs could attract the wrong people.

Although an RToken collateralized with an NFT sounds great, I think it would not be possible given the volatility of these assets and that they do not generate any Yield in themselves (I may be wrong), I would like people with advanced knowledge in DeFi/NFT to share their opinion on this specific point.
