Integration Grants Application '26 - Native Quest Platform Ecosystem Campaign Infrastructure

Integration Grants Application '26 — Native Campaign Activation Infrastructure for Conflux

Project: CONFLUX ARENA
Tier: 3
Requested Amount: $50,000
Duration: 6 months
Grant Recipient Wallet: 0x047f9d123d7ac201e1898316f22d9705c45d4024 (Conflux eSpace)


1. Executive Summary

Zealy, Galxe, and Layer3 cannot verify DeFi actions on Conflux. They can track follows and retweets — but they cannot confirm whether a user actually swapped USDT0 on Swappi, provided liquidity, staked tokens, or bridged assets to Conflux eSpace. Every “DeFi quest” on these platforms is a manual, trust-based checkbox.

Conflux Arena is a native campaign engine that automatically verifies on-chain DeFi activity across the Conflux eSpace ecosystem — swaps, LP positions, staking, bridging, token holding — and turns that into structured, measurable campaigns.

How it works:

  1. Conflux Foundation (or any ecosystem project) creates a campaign
  2. Users complete social quests (follow, retweet, join TG) → acquisition
  3. Users complete on-chain quests (bridge USDT0, swap, LP, stake) → activation
  4. Arena verifies every action automatically on-chain
  5. Foundation sees full analytics: completions, drop-offs, TVL generated

Social actions bring awareness. On-chain actions convert that into real activity. Arena does both — the full funnel. Zealy, Galxe, and Layer3 only cover the first half.

Even a bounty hunter on Arena has to actually bridge USDT0, swap on Swappi, and provide liquidity to get rewarded. On Zealy, Galxe, or Layer3, the same person just clicks “follow” and never touches Conflux.

Current status: Fully deployed on eSpace Mainnet. 714 unique wallets, 1,293 quest completions — all organic, zero marketing.

Grant request: $50,000 to scale infrastructure, run USDT0/AxCNH adoption campaigns, and onboard ecosystem projects.


2. The Problem

Conflux Foundation has allocated a 500 million CFX PayFi ecosystem fund (source) to drive USDT0 and AxCNH adoption.

But there is no native tool to:

  • Run campaigns that verify real on-chain DeFi actions on Conflux
  • Measure whether incentives actually translate into swaps, LP, staking, bridging
  • Track which campaign drove the most TVL or bridge transactions
  • Distinguish real DeFi participants from airdrop farmers
  • Distribute rewards based on verified on-chain activity

External platforms don’t solve this:

Every other major L1/L2 has native campaign tools. Conflux doesn’t. Arena fills this gap.

3. The Solution: Campaign Engine with On-Chain Verification

How a Campaign Works on Arena

Example: USDT0 Adoption Campaign

Step Quest Verification
1 Follow Conflux Network on X Automatic — X API
2 Join Conflux Telegram Automatic — Telegram Bot
3 Bridge USDT0 to Conflux Automatic — bridge tx on-chain
4 Swap USDT0/CFX on Swappi Automatic — DEX event logs
5 Provide liquidity to USDT0/CFX pool Automatic — LP balance on-chain
6 Hold LP position for 7 days Automatic — Diamond Hands :gem:

Every step verified. Zero manual work. Full analytics: how many users completed each step, where they dropped off, total TVL generated.

Cost of this campaign on Galxe: $3,000+ | Layer3: $5,000+
Cost on Arena: $0

Campaign Verification Engine — 35 Quest Types

Category Types What It Verifies
Social (X) 8 Follow, retweet, like, post, quote, reply, space, list
Social (Telegram) 2 Join channel, join group
Social (Discord) 1 Join server
On-chain DeFi 12 Swap, LP, staking, Diamond Hands :gem:, USDT0 bridge, yield farming, token balance, contract interaction
On-chain General 5 Transaction, NFT holding, token balance, contract interaction, wallet age
Actions 6 Quiz, file upload, URL submission, manual verification, code entry, form
Referral 1 Invite friends tracking

Fully Parameterized — Any Conflux Project in Minutes

Arena doesn’t require custom development for new projects:

  • New ERC-20 token → specify contract address → balance/holding quests live
  • New LP pool → specify pair address → LP verification live
  • New NFT collection → specify ERC-721 address → holding quests live
  • New DEX (Uniswap V2 compatible) → automatic event parsing

This means any new project joining Conflux — including RWA tokens — can have verified campaigns running the same day.

Campaign Management Features

  • Unlimited simultaneous campaigns (Zealy/Galxe/Layer3 charge $500–$5K/month for this)
  • Bonus mechanics: XP multiplier, completion bonus, minimum quests threshold
  • Per-campaign leaderboard and analytics
  • Retention & funnel analysis (D7/D30)
  • Token gating (8 types)
  • Anti-fraud system (8 signal types)
  • Batch reward distribution in any eSpace ERC-20 token (USDT0, AxCNH, CFX, and any other) via smart contract
  • Gas sponsorship for new users (first on-chain transaction)
  • Webhooks & API keys for integrations

4. Primary Use Case: Conflux Foundation’s Activation Layer

Arena is positioned as Conflux Foundation’s native tool for ecosystem-wide campaigns:

Foundation Initiative How Arena Supports It
USDT0 adoption Bridge → Swap → LP campaigns with full on-chain verification
AxCNH rollout Token holding quests, LP incentives, educational campaigns
PayFi fund distribution Verified on-chain actions → automated reward distribution
New project launches Parameterized quests live same day — any contract address
Cross-chain bridging programs Bridge verification + post-bridge DeFi activity tracking
KOL campaigns Referral tracking — measure which KOL drove real on-chain activity
Event activation (ETH Denver, etc.) QR → wallet → on-chain quest journey in minutes

Individual ecosystem projects benefit by being included in Foundation-led campaigns without running their own. Those that want to run independent campaigns can do so for free.

Growth Model

714 → 4,000 users is driven by campaign execution. Each project campaign brings 200–400 new users. 10 projects × 300 users = 3,000+. Combined with USDT0 adoption campaigns and referral system — 4,000 is conservative.


9. Risk Mitigation

Risk Mitigation
Low project adoption Platform is free. Foundation-led campaigns don’t require project initiative. Direct onboarding support in budget.
RPC rate limits Confura VIP + Unifra backup + BlockPI redundancy
Multi-wallet abuse Anti-fraud system (8 signal types) + EIP-712 signature verification
Key person dependency Two-person core team. Modular codebase (515 files). Full documentation. Docker + Terraform.
Market downturn On-chain verification works regardless of market conditions

14. Summary

One problem: Conflux has no native tool that verifies on-chain DeFi activity for campaigns. Zealy, Galxe, and Layer3 cannot do this.

One solution: Arena — a free, native campaign engine with automatic on-chain verification. Social quests for acquisition, DeFi quests for activation. The full funnel.

Primary use case: Conflux Foundation’s activation infrastructure for USDT0/AxCNH adoption and ecosystem growth campaigns.

What’s built: 515 files, 206K LOC, 5 smart contracts on mainnet, 35 quest verifiers (12 DeFi types). Fully deployed. 714 organic users.

What the grant funds: Infrastructure scaling, campaign execution, and ecosystem project onboarding. No development needed.

Arena is the missing activation layer between Conflux’s incentives and measurable on-chain adoption.

Hi Mate,

Hope you’re doing well. It’s been about a month since your reply, so just circling back as you mentioned you’d follow up around this time.

Everything on our side is live and production-ready. Also — if the Foundation is planning any USDT0 or AxCNH activation campaigns in the meantime, we’re ready to support immediately. The infrastructure is live, so there’s no lead time needed.

Is there any update on the review, or anything additional you’d need from us to move forward?
