# 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** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
