Latest Update: Katana Launches In-App Questing Season 1

Katana has launched Season 1 of in-app questing, introducing a comprehensive system that tracks onchain behavior and converts it into XP, badges, and leaderboard standings. This questing mechanism measures real platform activity rather than simple task completion, establishing long-term standing within the Katana ecosystem.

Getting Started

Begin participating in Season 1 questing by completing these steps:

1. Visit the questing portal
2. Verify your wallet connection to the platform
3. Connect your X (Twitter) account for profile integration
4. Start completing available quests to begin earning XP and badges

Available Quests

Season 1 tracks several core onchain actions on the Katana platform:

• First Swap: Complete your initial token swap on Katana
• First Deposit: Make your first deposit to the platform
• ETH or WBTC Swap: Execute swaps involving ETH or WBTC tokens
• Weekly Activity: Maintain consistent platform engagement through weekly actions

Additional quests will be unlocked progressively throughout the season, with the team emphasizing that onchain behavior and genuine platform usage are the primary factors being measured.

Reward System

The questing system features three key components:

• XP (Experience Points): Tracks your overall progress and activity levels across all completed quests
• Badges: Permanent markers awarded for completing specific onchain actions and milestones
• Leaderboards: Competitive rankings based on accumulated XP and completed activities (launching soon)

Early participants who begin accumulating XP and badges during Season 1 will establish their standing in the system ahead of future seasons and potential reward distributions.
