How it works

From a group chat to an on-chain game economy

DegensQuest meets your community where it already hangs out. Add one bot and Telegram becomes a multiplayer gaming server where every match, quest, and season pays out real QUEST on Base. Here is the full loop, end to end.

The core loop

Five steps, then it compounds

Each step feeds the next: more play fills the leaderboards, leaderboards drive seasons, and seasons pull more players into the loop.

  1. Step 01

    Add the bot to your Telegram group

    Invite @degensquestbot to any group chat. No downloads, no setup wizard, no smart-contract knowledge required — permissions are scoped to exactly what the games need.

  2. Step 02

    Your group becomes a game server

    The chat instantly turns into a multiplayer arena. Matchmaking, timers, scoring, cooldowns, and leaderboards run automatically in the background — your members just type commands.

  3. Step 03

    Play games, quests, and raids

    Fire off boss raids, PvP duels, trivia tournaments, prediction rounds, and on-chain quests. Solo, co-op, or whole-group — every match is a deterministic, replayable session.

  4. Step 04

    Earn XP and QUEST, climb the leaderboards

    Wins convert to XP and QUEST, settled transparently on Base. Live global and per-guild leaderboards update in real time, and your progress is shareable on public profile pages.

  5. Step 05

    Guilds compete across seasons

    Bundle your members into a guild with shared XP, treasury, and standings, then battle other communities through recurring seasons with prize pools funded directly by the Hook.

How rewards are funded

Real payouts, funded by swap fees

The rewards you earn are not subsidized from a treasury that runs dry. They are funded continuously and transparently by trading activity itself.

Uniswap v4 Hook

Every buy and sell of QUEST routes through a custom Uniswap v4 Hook. It takes a small fee — hard-capped in the contract at 1% and never higher — and splits it on-chain across nine reward buckets, including game rewards, season prize pools, staking, and creator and referral rewards.

There is no manual treasury and no custody step in the middle. The split is verifiable on Base, and every percentage is governance-configurable — so the community can tune where value flows over time.

Fairness & anti-cheat

Provably fair, by design

When money is on the line, trust is not enough. DegensQuest is engineered so outcomes are reproducible, payouts are exactly-once, and luck cannot be rigged.

Deterministic, replayable matches

Game logic is pure: the same inputs always produce the same result, with no hidden clocks or random calls inside a match. Every session can be re-run from its event log, so any disputed outcome is verifiable — not a matter of trust.

One audited path to rewards

No game can mint tokens or write a leaderboard on its own. Every payout flows through a single, idempotent settlement layer that applies each reward exactly once — the security spine that keeps farming and double-claims out.

Secure, provable randomness

Gameplay uses a seeded cryptographic stream so luck is fair but reproducible. High-value outcomes and loot use commit-reveal and Chainlink VRF, so nobody — not even the house — can predict or rig a draw.

Anti-cheat, cooldowns, and replay logs

Per-action cooldowns, rate limits, single-writer match ordering, and append-only logs make automation and spam unprofitable. Rewards are designed to pay real players and communities, not bot farms.

Common questions

The essentials, answered

Still curious? The docs go deeper on architecture, the token, and the game engine.

No. Anyone can join a game in Telegram with just their account — no wallet, no install, no friction. A wallet is only needed to claim QUEST, and DegensQuest supports Coinbase Smart Wallet and any standard Base wallet via Sign-In with Ethereum.
