Ecosystems
Purpose
Ecosystems are networks of multiple projects (typically 10 or more) that coordinate quest campaigns together on Arkada.
They represent a business-to-business (B2B) use of Arkada’s engagement infrastructure and are uniquely positioned to:
Aggregate very large user bases, often generating substantial amounts of quest completions
Drive high-volume, coordinated participation across multiple communities
Align multiple projects under a single execution and incentive framework
Goal:
Enable ecosystems to attract large-scale user participation by recycling a portion of quest-driven value into a shared prize pool, without relying on traditional upfront distribution or media spend.
This model allows ecosystems to launch high-impact campaigns on Arkada while being rewarded through real participation, rather than fixed or speculative distribution.
How It Works
1. Campaign Setup
Arkada works with the ecosystem to define:
Campaign duration
Quest structure across participating projects
Expected participation scale
Prize pool logic and distribution rules
All campaign parameters are reviewed and approved to ensure alignment, fairness, and system integrity.
2. Quest Participation & Value Generation
Users complete quests across ecosystem projects.
Large ecosystems can generate substantial amounts of quest completions within a single campaign.
Each quest completion contributes to the total campaign value, which is tracked and verifiable through Arkada’s infrastructure.
3. Prize Pool Formation
A default portion (typically up to 20%) of the total quest-driven value is allocated to a dedicated ecosystem prize pool.
The prize pool is derived directly from actual user participation.
It is not based on impressions, clicks, or speculative reach.
Final allocation parameters are defined per campaign and subject to Arkada approval.
This aligns incentives naturally: more real participation → larger pool.
4. Reward Distribution
The prize pool is distributed to participants based on individual contribution performance.
Contribution performance is calculated using Arkada’s internal logic designed to:
reflect real participation,
prevent manipulation,
and ensure transparent, fair distribution.
Higher contribution → higher share of the pool.
Ecosystem prize pools are campaign-level structures and are distinct from user-created joint pools.
5. Optional Enhancements
Ecosystems may optionally add additional incentives to the prize pool.
Any added incentives are distributed using the same contribution performance logic.
Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
Primary KPI:
Total quest completions across all ecosystem projects
Quest completions are the sole input used to calculate campaign value and prize pool size.
Supporting actions such as coordination, promotion, or community events help increase participation, but do not directly affect reward allocation.
Tracking & Transparency
For ecosystem campaigns, Arkada provides:
Transparent tracking of total quest completions
Contribution performance visibility per participant
Clear breakdown of prize pool formation and allocation
All inputs and outputs are verifiable, traceable, and performance-based, ensuring trust for ecosystems, projects, and users alike.
Governance & Integrity
To protect all parties, Arkada reserves the right to:
review campaign behavior and performance patterns,
adjust configurations where necessary,
pause or discontinue campaigns in cases of misuse or abuse.
This governance layer ensures ecosystem campaigns remain fair, sustainable, and aligned with the platform’s long-term health.
Key Takeaways
Ecosystems operate as a B2B campaign structure on Arkada
Large-scale coordination enables massive real participation
A portion of quest-driven value is recycled into a shared prize pool
Incentives are performance-derived, not impression-based
Rewards scale naturally with participation
All outcomes are transparent, verifiable, and system-governed
