By leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative features, Meta Drive aims to enhance driving skills, promote safety, and create an engaging community for automotive enthusiasts.

Enhancing Driving Skills and Safety At the core of Meta Drive lies its ability to assess and improve driving skills through the collection and analysis of trip data. By utilizing advanced algorithms, the application provides drivers with a comprehensive driver score at the end of each trip.

Meta Drive introduces a unique virtual car NFT (Non-Fungible Token) system that adds an exciting layer of gamification to the driving experience. Each virtual car serves as a key element within the Meta Drive mobile app, offering in-game customization, entertainment, and motivation.

The app's beta version has been released to the public, attracting 500 beta testers and receiving accolades such as the "NFT of the Day" by NFT Design Awards and a nomination for "Product of the Week" by Smoothie. Furthermore, Meta Drive ranked among the top 3 pre-mint projects on Atlas3 and forged collaborations with Solana projects, resulting in the creation of 10+ co-branded cars.

Meta Drive aims to incentivize user engagement by offering cashback incentives, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between the app and its users.

Tell us about yourself as CM/Project Lead

I am the Co-Founder of Meta Drive. Since 2017, I have been actively involved in the crypto industry, collaborating with web3 projects in marketing and design. In May 2022, my friend Max Diffenbakh shared with me an exciting concept—to develop an application specifically tailored for car enthusiasts. As someone who thoroughly enjoys driving and frequently hits the road, I was immediately drawn to the idea of creating a gaming application for drivers that would not only entertain but also bring social benefits.

Why do you like using Zealy?

It was actually a fellow community member who suggested we use Zealy for our onboarding process and it turned out to be a great idea. Zealy provided us with all the necessary features to manage our community, create exciting quests, and boost our social networks.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that in just 1 month, we reached the top 8 among all projects on Zealy and attracted more than 13,000 members to our page.

That’s awesome to hear! Can you drive us through your Quest strategy?

Our most successful Quest was one in which we developed a chain of Quests hiding various components of our NFT collection on various social networks.

Our dedicated community enthusiastically took on the task of finding these hidden treasures and worked together to solve the challenges, taking in turns to complete them.

What Rewards do you currently offer your community?

We offer many rewards for our community, ranging from free mints, and special roles, to NFTs and $SOL

What trends do you see in Web3? What are your predictions for what’s coming up next?

I anticipate the persistence of trends such as decentralized finance, interoperability protocols, and NFTs in the Web3 space. Furthermore, we can expect the emergence of new projects with tangible real-world applications. The integration of AI is also likely to gain prominence as an actively evolving technology that can significantly contribute to the advancement of Web3.

What other Web3 projects are you also super excited about right now?

Cosmos, CyberConnect, Lens, Mina, Polygon.
