Layer3 Powers Web3 User Adoption through Gamified Experiences & NFT Rewards 🚀

There's a lot of friction for users to onboard onto web3 — making it difficult for products and protocols to reach mass adoption without web3-native growth tools.

Layer3 was built to solve this problem: curating unique, seamless, & interactive experiences for anyone to explore web3 — and get rewarded for it with crypto & NFTs for completing Layer3's gamified bounties, or "Quests."

With 100,000+ activities completed on the platform daily — and protocols like Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism tapping into their ecosystem — Layer3 has built a highly-engaged audience by pioneering the next evolution of customer loyalty: rewarding users with proof-of-achievement NFTs for completing Quests.
