QUEST — the fuel of DegensQuest

One immutable, fixed-supply token powers every game, season, and marketplace trade across the protocol. Rewards are funded transparently by a Uniswap v4 Hook and settled on Base — no inflation, no manual treasury, fully verifiable on-chain.

Token utility & protocol mechanics — not financial advice. No prices or returns are implied.

QUEST is an ERC-20 with Permit and Votes extensions. 100% = 10,000 basis points; the swap-fee cap of 100 bps is immutable.

Token design

Immutable by default, governable where it counts

The token itself is locked forever. Only the parameters that should evolve — like the fee split — are left to governance, and even those sit under an immutable hard cap.

Immutable contract

The QUEST token is non-upgradeable. Once deployed, supply, decimals, and core logic are fixed in the contract — no admin can mint, pause, or rewrite the rules out from under holders.

ERC-20 + Permit + Votes

Built on audited OpenZeppelin standards. Permit enables gasless, signature-based approvals, while Votes powers on-chain governance and delegation out of the box.

No manual treasury custody

Fees are split and accrued on-chain by the FeeDistributor. There is no middleman wallet skimming swaps — every share is verifiable on Base and claimed pull-based by its bucket.

The QUEST flywheel

Swap fees that fund the games

A custom Uniswap v4 Hook skims a small fee (hard-capped at 1%) from every QUEST swap and routes it on-chain into nine reward buckets. More trading means bigger prize pools — a loop that pays players, creators, and holders.

Every buy and sell of QUEST passes through the Hook. Fees are collected and distributed transparently — no manual treasury, no custody, fully verifiable on Base.

What QUEST does

Utility across every surface

QUEST is not a spectator token. It is wired into gameplay, staking, seasons, the marketplace, and governance — so demand grows with the protocol itself.

Game entry & rewards

QUEST is the currency of play. Stake it into wagered duels and tournaments, and earn it back from the on-chain Game Rewards bucket every time you win a match, raid, or season challenge.

Staking

Lock QUEST to earn a continuous share of protocol swap fees from the Staking bucket. Long-term holders who help secure the protocol are paid from real trading activity — not emissions.

Season & Battle Passes

Unlock premium seasonal tracks, boosted reward tiers, and exclusive cosmetics. Passes are a direct QUEST sink, tightening supply as the player base and competition grow.

Marketplace

Trade NFTs, cosmetics, and in-game items priced in QUEST. Platform fees and creator royalties on every sale flow back through the protocol, reinforcing the flywheel.

Governance (ERC-20 Votes)

QUEST implements ERC-20 Votes, so holders can delegate voting power and steer the parameters that matter — including how the Hook splits fees across the nine reward buckets.

Sinks & creator economy

Guild upgrades, loot boxes, sponsored quests, and creator payouts all settle in QUEST, giving the token deep, recurring utility across every surface of the protocol.

The buyback & treasury loop

Value flows back into the flywheel

Two of the nine buckets are dedicated to sustainability: the Buyback Vault reinforces the reward engine, while the Treasury funds the work that keeps the protocol alive.

Buyback Vault

A share of every swap fee is routed to the Buyback Vault, which uses it to acquire QUEST from the market. Those tokens flow back into the reward system, deepening the loop: trading funds buybacks, buybacks reinforce rewards, and bigger rewards pull in more play and more trading.

Trade → fees → buyback → rewards → more play

Treasury

The Treasury bucket funds development, security audits, infrastructure, and long-term operations. It is accrued on-chain and governed by the community — accountable, transparent, and sized by real protocol activity rather than a one-time raise that eventually runs dry.

Where to get QUEST

Get QUEST, the right way

QUEST lives on Base. Trade it through the official app and always verify the contract address against official sources before you buy.

On the app token page

The QUEST token page in the app shows live price, volume, holders, and the real-time Hook fee-distribution dashboard — the canonical place to track and trade.

Trade on Base

QUEST trades through its Uniswap v4 pool on Base, where the Hook collects the protocol fee. The canonical contract address will be published at launch on the app and in the docs.

Contract address published at launch

Beware impersonators: only trust a QUEST address that appears on the official app or documentation. DegensQuest will never DM you a contract address.

Transparency

The chain is the source of truth

Every figure that matters — supply, fees collected, and how they split across the nine buckets — is recorded on Base and independently verifiable. The live fee-distribution dashboard lives inside the app, reading directly from the contracts. This marketing page is just a map; the on-chain state is the territory.

Token FAQ

QUEST, answered

The essentials on supply, fees, and how rewards are funded. The docs go deeper on the contracts.

QUEST is the native token of DegensQuest, the SocialFi gaming protocol on Base. It is the fuel of the ecosystem: you stake it to play, earn it from on-chain reward buckets, spend it on passes and the marketplace, and use it to vote on protocol parameters via ERC-20 Votes.
