How it works
This system verifies your Cardano activity on-chain. Complete the five steps below, then connect your stake address here and click Recheck progress to get your quest status and earn an entry.
- Install a wallet extension (e.g. Lace, Eternl, Nami, or Typhon) from the official site.
- Create or import a wallet and write down your recovery phrase safely.
- Find your stake address in the wallet (often under Staking, Rewards, or Account). It starts with stake1....
- You will paste this stake address below to connect to this quest.
- On mainnet: Buy ADA on an exchange (e.g. Coinbase, Kraken), then withdraw to your wallet’s receive address (addr1...).
- On testnet: Use a Cardano preprod faucet to get test ADA.
- Keep at least 10 ADA (or the required threshold) in your wallet for fees and to pass this step.
- In your wallet, open the Staking / Delegation section.
- Choose any Cardano stake pool and delegate. This keeps your ADA secure and earns rewards.
- Once delegation is active, this quest step will be marked complete.
- Use a Cardano DEX such as Minswap, SundaeSwap, or WingRiders (or other allowlisted protocols).
- Connect your wallet on the DEX and perform swaps or liquidity actions.
- You need at least 5 DeFi transactions in the past 7 days for this step to pass.
- On an allowlisted DEX, swap ADA for USDCx (or receive USDCx in another allowed way).
- Ensure the USDCx arrives in the wallet whose stake address you use here.
- The system checks the blockchain; once it sees USDCx received in the last 30 days, this step completes.
When you’re ready, scroll down and enter your stake address, then click Get nonce → Verify. After that, use Recheck progress to update your quest status.
