Quizzes have always been a popular way for people to test the limits of their knowledge, compete, and in some cases, also earn. Think of shows like Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Billionaire? Some of the best quizzers in recent history have earned millions of quiz competitions.
Today, anyone can participate in quizzes, test their knowledge, and compete using online applications such as QuizUp or at local quiz competitions. However, the element of winning something tangible (such as a cash prize) when participating online or using an app can be quite rare.
What are Quiz-to-Earn dApps?
Quiz-to-earn dApps are decentralized quiz applications that enable users to participate and compete in quizzes and competitions in exchange for crypto prizes and Web3 rewards.
Quiz-to-earn dApps help introduce users to new Web3 projects, while also allowing the wider Web3 community to earn while doing so. In exchange, dApps and projects can gain wider adoption of their token in the hands of regular Web3 users.
How to Participate?
Users need a Web3 wallet and in some cases, may need to sign up with a dApp to participate in quizzes and claim prizes. Additionally, users may need to learn about a particular topic through videos, AMAs, articles, or research to have a better chance of winning a quiz event. Most events are time-sensitive and participation may be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis or a reserved list.
