Airdrop Guide

Zealy is a Web3 rewards platform built around gamified quest completion, connecting projects that run incentive campaigns with a user base of over 1 million active participants. Since its launch in 2022, the platform has processed more than 1 billion task completions across its ecosystem. Zealy raised $3.5M in seed funding from Redalpine, Connect Ventures, and Aglaé Ventures. Rather than relying on competitive leaderboards, Zealy operates a guaranteed reward model where users earn ZAPS—reputation points that convert directly to USDC and improve eligibility for future airdrops distributed by partner projects. The platform is currently running its Season 2 Zap campaign, which is open to all participants.

How to Participate in the Zealy Airdrop

  1. Visit the Zealy website and create an account. You can sign up using a wallet connection, email, Discord, or Twitter.
  2. Once logged in, navigate to the Zealy Zaps questboard from the main dashboard.
  3. Click "Join Community" to officially enter the Season 2 campaign.
  4. Complete the introductory quests first. These are designed to familiarize you with the platform and award your initial ZAPS with minimal effort.
  5. Work through additional on-chain and off-chain quests as they become available. Each completed task earns ZAPS based on difficulty and activity type.
  6. Copy your referral link from the dashboard and share it. Each successful referral earns you between 1 and 3 ZAPS depending on how active the referred user becomes.
  7. Check the rewards section regularly and open lootboxes as they unlock.

Sustained participation strategy: Since ZAPS accumulate permanently and do not reset between seasons, the most effective approach is consistent daily quest completion rather than one-time bursts. Prioritize quests that require on-chain actions, as these typically carry higher ZAPS weight. Build your referal network early—referals who complete at least one quest beyond signup grant you the full 3 ZAPS instead of just 1.

If any quest requires a token approval or "Approve" transaction: Please verify the token approval amount; authorize only the specific amount required for the transaction.

Potential Reward

Zealy's Season 2 offers guaranteed USDC rewards for all participants who earn ZAPS through quest completion. ZAPS convert directly to USDC, so the reward is not speculative—it is a confirmed payout mechanism. Additionally, higher ZAPS totals increase your allocation in future airdrops from partner projects that use Zealy's platform. The referal program currently pays 1-3 ZAPS per invited friend based on their activity level.

Airdrop Requirements

  • A Zealy account (created via wallet, email, Discord, or Twitter).
  • Join the Season 2 Zap campaign through the questboard.
  • Complete at least the introductory quests to start accumulating ZAPS.
  • No minimum investment is required—quests include both on-chain and off-chain tasks.
  • USDC withdrawal requires reaching a minimum threshold, which varies by user reputation level.

Latest Zealy Airdrop Updates

Zealy's Season 2 Zap campaign is currently ongoing with guaranteed rewards for all participants who complete quests and accumulate ZAPS.

Risk

  • Conversion delay: USDC withdrawals take 7-14 days to process after reaching minimum thresholds, and thoseresholds vary by reputation level—meaning new users may need to accumulate significantly more before their first payout.
  • Referral dependency: A portion of potential ZAPS earnings relies on referred users staying active. Inactive referrals only grant 1 ZAP instead of 3, reducing expected returns from referal-heavy strategies.
  • Platform risk: While Zealy has raised seed funding and has a track record since2022, the platform operates its own system rather than being anchored to a major Layer 1 or Layer 2 chain. This means reward distribution depends entirely on Zealy's operational continuity.
  • Future airdrop uncertainty: The promise of increased allocation in "future project airdrops" is vague. There is no guaranteed timeline or confirmed partner list for these distributions.

FAQ

Do ZAPS expire or reset when a new season begins?

No. ZAPS accumulate permanently across seasons. When a new season launches, it may introduce additional reward tiers, but your existing ZAPS balance carries forward.

How long does it take to withdraw USDC from earned ZAPS?

USDC withdrawals typically process within 7-14 days after you reach the minimum withdrawal threshold. The threshold varies based on your reputation level, so newer accounts may need more time to become eligible.

Is Zealy free to use, or do I need to invest funds to participate?

Zealy is free to join. Many quests are off-chain tasks like social engagement or content creation that require no funds. Some on-chain quests may require small gas fees depending on the network involved, but the platform itself does not charge participation fees.
