WAYFINDING WEDNESDAY
Snag is building smarter questing tools that help us figure out:
- Which contributions matter most? - Is there a more precise way to define value? - What behaviors actually strengthen the network?
This week's Wayfinding Wednesday featured an insightful conversation with Zach Heerwagen, CEO of Snag Solutions, diving deep into how questing can drive real project contributions rather than just vanity metrics. The discussion explored critical questions around value creation in decentralized networks:
Which contributions matter most to network health?
How can we more precisely define and measure value?
What behaviors actually strengthen the Nexus ecosystem?
The partnership with Snag represents a significant evolution in how we approach community engagement, moving beyond simple point accumulation to meaningful participation that contributes to the network's growth and stability..
Our collaboration with Snag Solutions officially launched this week, revolutionizing the questing experience at Nexus. This partnership brings:
Enhanced point-earning mechanisms
Sophisticated badge systems
More meaningful reward structures tied to Testnet III
Weekly quest rollouts with daily repeatable option
Looking ahead to week 7: Power Proving
As we transition into Week 7, prepare for "Power Proving" – a challenge that will put your network participation to the test. Stay tuned for details on how you can demonstrate your commitment to the Nexus ecosystem.
