Zealy Campaign Hardening: Anti-Farm & Quality Engagement
Zealy security panel supports pre-claim access gating
- Source: https://zealy.io/docs/start-guide/security
- Findings:
- Can require invite access to join community.
- Can enforce quest-access verification (Discord/Twitter/email/wallet inputs).
- Invite logic supports XP thresholds and consumable invites for recurring invite quests.
- Why it matters: this gives practical anti-farm controls before users can claim rewards.
Zealy quest model supports nuanced eligibility + repeatability + reward methods
- Source: https://docs.zealy.io/api-reference/quests
- Findings:
- Conditions can gate by role, completed quests, date, NFT hold, level, and follower count with AND/OR operators.
- Recurrence supports once/daily/weekly/monthly patterns.
- Reward methods include standard, FCFS, and raffle.
- Why it matters: enables campaign design that prioritizes quality contributors and throttles low-effort farming loops.
Anti-gaming lever: minimum token/NFT holding period
- Source: https://zealy.io/changelog/2025-11-05-nft-token-holding-period
- Finding: token/NFT tasks now support "minimum holding period in days," requiring continuous holding before claim.
- Why it matters: reduces borrow-and-dump style quest exploits and better rewards committed holders.
Reward clarity lever: rank-tiered sprint payouts
- Source: https://zealy.io/changelog/2026-01-21-tiered-sprint-rewards
- Finding: rank-based tier distribution lets teams predefine payout percentages by placement ranges with validation checks (gaps/overlaps/inversions).
- Why it matters: creates predictable incentive ladders and lowers confusion around XP-only payout systems.
Authenticity lever: quote-tweet task with duplicate rejection and engagement thresholds
- Source: https://zealy.io/changelog/2026-02-10-tweet-quote-task
- Finding: quote-tweet task verifies target quote tweets and can reject duplicated text while enforcing minimum engagement metrics.
- Why it matters: upgrades social tasks from spammy RT farming to more authentic, commentary-driven amplification.
Recommended approach
- Require wallet + social verification before reward-eligible quests.
- Add minimum holding periods on token-holder quests to deter flash farming.
- Shift sprint rewards to rank tiers for clearer expectations.
- Use quote-tweet tasks with duplicate rejection for higher-signal social spread.
