Layer3

Layer3 is one of the token distribution protocols with over 3M users, designed to connect newcomers in the crypto space with web3 startups.

It allows blockchain companies to attract new audiences by creating a wide range of quests and tasks, including:

• Social tasks: Projects are able to create various quests related to their social media and track the progress via Layer3;
• On-chain activity: Web3 startups can create tasks related to their product, and track users' performance on-chain.
• Quizzes: Blockchain projects can create various quizzes and educational events to allow users to understand their technology and approach.

To complete the Layer3 quests, users receive XP and mint Cubes and NFTs from crypto projects, which allows blockchain startups to identify the most active community members and reward them accordingly.

🪙 Layer3 token: On June 5th, 2024, the company announced the upcoming release and airdrop of its native $L3 token. According to TheBlock, the main criteria for the airdrop will be the amount of XP and Cubes users acquire when completing quests from other crypto projects.

$L3 will provide users with access to the governance layer of the platform, launchpad, and exclusive features via staking $L3, such as stake-to-earn exclusive quests, a tiered reward system, exclusive incentivized programs, and future airdrop multipliers. 

The protocol has also introduced a few token-burning mechanisms, offering users who participate in such programs various perks across partner ecosystems, as well as enabling projects to post quests on its platform, deploy incentives, and access CUBE credentials.
