How RadQuest is Bringing New Users to DeFi With Gamification

DeFi network Radix has launched a new onboarding tool called RadQuest, designed to make entry into the Web3 world more engaging and accessible. Developed in collaboration with us two, the creators behind the acclaimed game Monument Valley, RadQuest aims to simplify the onboarding process for both new users and seasoned crypto enthusiasts.

RadQuest addresses the challenge of onboarding by offering a gamified experience. Matthew Hine, Chief Product Officer at RDX Works, explained that the goal was to create an onboarding process that feels relevant and interactive, rather than overwhelming users with information. RadQuest provides users with various quests, both basic and advanced, guided by its mascot, Jetty. These quests help users set up a Radix Wallet, stake Radix’s XRD token, and navigate decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

The platform features a user-friendly interface and introduces a decentralized login system called Persona, which enhances security and ease of access. Key features of Radix, such as human-readable transactions and tools like JettySwap, are highlighted through the quests. Radix’s human-readable transactions simplify complex processes by presenting transaction details in a clear, easy-to-understand format.

A major highlight of RadQuest is RadMorphs, an NFT reward system where users earn gift boxes containing Morph Energy Cards and Elements by completing quests. These RadMorphs, developed with ustwo's input, are 3D crystalline structures created by combining earned Elements and Cards. The design and mechanics of RadMorphs were refined with the help of a game economics specialist known for work on games like Magic: The Gathering.

RadQuest’s objective is to demonstrate the value of Web3 in a user-friendly manner. It aims to show newcomers that Web3 is not just a complex system but an engaging and accessible space. For experienced users, RadQuest offers a fresh perspective on Radix’s unique features. Hine hopes that RadQuest will not only attract new users but also highlight the innovative aspects of Radix to the broader crypto community.

“We’re at an exciting juncture,” Hine noted. “With a growing ecosystem of applications, we’re ready to introduce more quests that showcase Radix’s advantages and broaden its reach within the crypto space.”
