How Galxe Is Bringing Smarter Community Building to Web3

Web3 isn’t built on technology alone—it’s built on people. Code may power the blockchain, but it's the communities behind every project that determine its success. Without an engaged, committed user base, even the most innovative protocols will struggle to gain traction, sustain growth, and deliver real impact.

Communities are the foundation of successful web3 projects, driving adoption, governance, and long-term growth. They create network effects, attract developers and partners, and ensure resilience through market shifts. Engaged users add value, strengthen ecosystems, and shape the project's future, making community the key to sustainability in web3.

At the center of this is Galxe , a decentralized super app. 

Web3's Largest Community-Building Platform

Galxe is the leading decentralized platform built to empower and accelerate web3 communities. With features like Quest, zkRaffle, Telegram Mini App, and Rewards Hub , Galxe enables projects to engage users through interactive experiences, reward their participation, and build sustainable, engaged communities. 

According to Messari , Galxe is the largest community-building platform in web3, boasting over 32 million users across its diverse suite of products. By offering the tools and infrastructure necessary to build dynamic ecosystems, Galxe empowers both users and projects to thrive in the web3 space.

Quest

At the core of Galxe’s ecosystem is Quest , a platform for building web3 communities, offering a simple, no-code solution that connects projects with millions of users through reward-based loyalty programs. With over 1.2 billion quests completed, Quest is home to over 6,700+ partners, including leading protocols like Optimism, Arbitrum, Solana, Avalanche, and Base. 

With the migration to an onchain environment , Quest ensures transparency, true ownership, and seamless interoperability across the web3 ecosystem. Unlike offchain platforms, where rewards are siloed within a single ecosystem, Quest’s onchain approach creates a more verifiable and open experience that encourages user retention, helping projects build strong, engaged communities for the long term. 

Since Q4 2023, Quest has seen unique addresses grow 287%, from 2.6 million to 10 million in Q3 2024, while powering over 73,000 campaigns. 

Earndrop 

In the current web3 landscape, airdrop campaigns are often complex, requiring projects to set up claim mechanisms, handle manual distribution, and manage security risks. For users, this means unclear eligibility, scattered claim pages, and exposure to potential scams. 

Earndrop is built specifically to address these challenges. 

Designed to be an automated token distribution tool, Earndrop streamlines airdrops and TGEs, allowing projects to distribute rewards efficiently while providing users with a seamless way to claim them. It removes the need for custom claim pages and manual configurations, ensuring users can easily access their tokens through a single, intuitive platform. 

In the broader context, Earndrop strengthens the decentralized ecosystem by making airdrops more affordable and accessible for projects like Ripple and Jambo , both of which have successfully completed their campaigns. This creates more room for innovation and contributes to a more diverse and dynamic web3 ecosystem. 

zkRaffle

In collaboration with Succinct, Galxe launched the world’s first zkRaffle —a pioneering innovation that combines the mechanics of an onchain raffle with zero-knowledge technology, delivering provable fairness, and paving the way for more verifiable quests. At a higher level, zkRaffle ensures provable fairness, eliminating the need for centralized authorities while offering a fully auditable, trustless experience. 

Key features: 

• Verifiable Randomness: Powered by Drand, an open-source oracle that brings decentralized randomness onchain for transparent and auditable results.
• Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Uses SP1 zkVM to generate cryptographic proofs, ensuring fair and tamper-proof execution.
• Merkle Tree Verification: Enables efficient winner verification without exposing unnecessary data.
• Cross-Chain Compatibility: Supports seamless reward distribution across multiple blockchains.

Through verifiable randomness and ZK-powered execution, projects can establish a more secure and scalable reward system, ensuring fairness while accommodating a larger pool of winners. This is evident in the zkRaffle quest ( Unlock the Future of zkRaffle ), which saw over 200k participants, reinforcing the demand for transparent and equitable raffle experiences.

Telegram Mini App

The Galxe Telegram Mini App brings Task-to-Earn directly into Telegram, offering a seamless way for users to engage with web3 and earn rewards within a familiar interface. Launched in partnership with TON, Galxe Telegram Mini App enables projects to connect with over 950,000 users through interactive quests, making web3 participation more accessible and rewarding. 

Essentially, this format of quest is engineered to reduce entry barriers, encourage active involvement, and onboard a larger, more diverse audience. This approach fosters broader adoption of decentralized technologies, helping to expand web3 communities and drive long-term growth.

Since launching in November, the Galxe Telegram Mini App has seen rapid adoption, now engaging 40,000 daily active users who collectively complete 80,000 tasks each day, according to Galxe. 

Rewards Hub

Rewards are essential for community building because they drive engagement and keep users invested. By recognizing and valuing contributions, rewards foster loyalty and trust. They also attract new members and encourage sharing, which fuels growth and strengthens the community over time. 

Galxe Rewards Hub enhances this by offering a structured, points-based system that incentivizes sustained participation. Users earn Galxe Gold (GG) and Experience Points (XP) through tasks and interactions across the ecosystem, unlocking exclusive benefits such as premium features and mystery boxes containing rewards like USDT or ETH. 

By gamifying engagement, the Rewards Hub keeps users active and motivated, reinforcing long-term commitment while making participation more rewarding and accessible.

Community Growth at Scale

Galxe enables projects to rapidly scale their communities through an interconnected ecosystem that drives engagement and long-term participation. By leveraging credential-based rewards and onchain data, teams can attract millions of users, sustain activity beyond airdrops, and integrate seamlessly across chains for broader reach.

Here are a few examples of how leading web3 projects have used Quest to grow their communities and drive significant results:

• The Arbitrum Odyssey: A collaboration with Arbitrum and illustrators Ratwell and Sugoi , this quest attracted 1.67 million participants , with over 623,000 unique users and 1.67 million NFTs minted.
• io.net Ignition: io.net's interactive airdrop program encouraged users to explore its decentralized GPU network. It resulted in 300% more engagement, 4.39 million participants, and an 800% boost in social media followers.
• March of the Beras: Hosted by Berachain, this 80-day campaign attracted 8.5 million participants and 10.9 million visitors through dynamic tasks and educational content.
• Linea Voyage: Linea's public testnet quest engaged 5.6 million unique wallets and saw 50 million testnet transactions, supported by over 11 ecosystem partners. 

In web3, community is the foundation of success. Building an engaged, active community drives long-term growth and ensures your project stays relevant. It's not just about getting users—it’s about creating an environment where they feel connected and motivated to stay involved.

For projects aiming to scale and succeed, an interconnected platform like Galxe is essential. It provides a seamless user experience across various platforms and chains. With custom quests, Galxe enables projects to strengthen relationships with their users and drive ongoing engagement.
