Building Strong Communities with Zealy
Dackie Swap currently uses Zealy to build a strong bond between community members and the project.
By Brenda C.
Welcome to the Zealy blog! We are thrilled to have you here today for an exciting interview with Andrew Eddison, the founder of Dackie Swap. Andrew is here to tell us all about his project and share his insights on building a strong and engaged community. So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Tell us about your Project
Dackie Swap is the first and currently the most popular native DEX built on Base (Layer2 by Coinbase). It all started from our NFT community, Dackie, which is owned and empowered by the community. Our vision is to create a community where we all have the authority to decide who we are going to be. Dackie is a meme character that represents a positive lifestyle without caring about other people's thoughts.
DackieSwap is our product extension, designed to serve the Dackie community by enabling seamless token swapping and trading on a new home on Base.
Tell us about yourself as CM/Project Lead
As the founder of DackieSwap, I strongly believe in the power of community.
I’m particularly interested in building a close-knit and value-rich community. Prior to Web 3.0, I was a young entrepreneur and engineer who was fascinated by how Web 3.0 brings people together. I have made many friends in the space who have completely changed my life.
Why do you like using Zealy?
Zealy is a great platform for strengthening communities. At DackieSwap, we currently use Zealy to build a strong bond between community members and the project. We provide incentives, NFTs mints, and potentially plan to airdrop in the future. We just started with Zealy and the outcomes have been amazing very quick. We are currently ranked 10 on the leaderboard.
What’s your Quest strategy like - and your absolute favourite Quest?
In terms of our goals, we aim to build an engaging community, prioritizing the distribution of prizes based on the Zealy leaderboard (which we use the most).
Our main priority is to establish Zealy as the go-to platform for our community members, driving traffic from Twitter, Discord, and other marketing channels.
The sequence of events will lead to the end goal of educating our community members about what we're building.
Our community particularly enjoys Flash Quests, which involve collaborating with other projects to create exclusive campaigns (the most engaging activities).
What Rewards do you currently offer your community?
We started with Quack Points & Roles.
What trends do you see in Web3? What are your predictions for what’s coming up next?
Real Yield is a trend that I believe will bring significant benefits to a project's supporters. It accrues real value for them.
My prediction for the next trend is that RWAs could become popular if they are successful. This is because they have the potential to bridge the gap between real assets and decentralized finance.
What other Web3 projects are you also super excited about right now?
Thanks for the insights, Andrew! Where else can people find your project?
Thanks for having me! Here's our Twitter and our community on Zealy!
