~10 protocols. ~750K+ on-chain quest completions.
~10 protocols ran quests on this surface; the three featured below are the partnerships that endured. Multi-token rewards stacked on every completion. The surface Galxe and Layer3 don’t support.
The wedge.
ZKPuzzle started as DAO and onchain-org tooling, expanded into dev & privacy infrastructure, then into consumer & growth tools. Along the way, we became the only product that could support both sides of the privacy-chain ecosystem — the Alchemy/Infura layer (custom indexers, RPC, dev tooling) and the Galxe/Layer3 layer (quest creation, user reach, reward distribution).
That’s why ~10 protocols ran their quest campaigns here instead of on the bigger crypto-native quest platforms. The bigger platforms didn’t support the underlying infrastructure their protocols needed.
The three featured below are the partnerships that endured at scale. Running ~10 quests of varying quality is also what taught us to curate quests tightly rather than run an open free-for-all — every quest on ZKPuzzle now goes through a fit + quality bar before it ships, and that’s why the surface still produces real on-chain volume instead of decaying into zero-effort claim mechanics.
The three that endured.
Three of the original ~10 protocol partnerships are featured here — the ones that ran at scale and held up over time. Three different quest mechanics, ~750K+ combined on-chain actions.
Aleo Onramp
~370K+
completions
Aleo Foundation
Onramp 1 ALEO from any exchange to Puzzle Wallet. The user-acquisition primitive — exchange holders into Aleo network participants.
BetaStaking
375K+
completions
BetaStaking
Stake 1 ALEO with BetaStaking. The single largest quest by volume — staking participation grew through daily-habit reinforcement, not one-time claim mechanics.
Arcane Finance
~10K+
completions
Arcane Finance
Buy 1 ALEO of an Arcane Launchpad presale token. Smaller scale, but proves the same quest layer works for token-launch distribution.
Why daily-habit beats one-time claim.
BetaStaking — 375K+ completions — is the proof. Not a one-time airdrop claim; a recurring action repeated daily by tens of thousands of users across hundreds of days. The mechanic was intentional: cap the daily quest at 1/day for free, 5/day for Pro, so usage compounds through habit rather than burning out in a single claim event.
That’s also why the geographic spread on quests is the widest of any V1 surface — 156 locales. Daily-habit quests work regardless of where the user is, as long as they have a Puzzle Wallet and a few moments per morning.

FAQ
Questions protocols ask before they sign on.
Why did these protocols pick ZKPuzzle over Galxe or Layer3?
How does the multi-token reward stacking work?
Are these quests still running?
What’s next
Run a quest on ZKPuzzle.
Especially good fit if you’re a privacy-chain protocol, a token launching with distribution complexity, or a network that wants quest engagement to compound through daily habit.
