Perpetual futures are one of the most dynamic yet complex areas in Web3 trading. They combine high leverage, high volatility, and high-frequency participation — a mix that attracts professional traders but often overwhelms new users.
For exchanges and DeFi projects, the challenge is clear: How do you grow user participation in perpetual trading while keeping liquidation risk under control? This is where TaskOn’s education-driven mission framework offers a new solution.
- The Challenge: High Leverage, High Speed, and High Risk
In perpetual markets, even a small price swing can trigger large-scale liquidations. Projects that encourage users to “trade more” without adequate guidance face a fragile retention curve — users may enter quickly but leave after losses.
To maintain sustainable growth, trading platforms need a balanced mechanism: drive trading activity through incentives, while teaching users how to manage risk effectively.
This is the gap TaskOn bridges through educational missions and incentive integration.
- Turning Risk Awareness into Interactive Learning
Instead of passively warning users with disclaimers, TaskOn empowers projects to teach through action. By designing Risk Education Quests, projects can transform complex risk management topics into engaging, measurable tasks.
Examples include:
- Utilizing TaskEarn: By combining a series of mini-tasks, projects are able to educate users with key instructions to engaging on their platform.
- Liquidation Simulation Tasks: Users walk through mock liquidation scenarios to learn how stop-loss and margin ratios work.
Each educational action is verified on-chain or through TaskOn’s API, ensuring authenticity and completion tracking. Users learn by doing, not just by reading.
Utilizing ChainEarn on TaskOn
TaskChain utilizes a card-based interface where multiple tasks are linked together, creating a seamless “learn-by-doing” flow. This structure helps projects conduct user education more effectively by guiding users through a structured process.
By default, tasks start immediately and have no end time, although custom start and end times can be configured as needed.
💡 Case Study: DeFi ChainEarn Series
This specific ChainEarn Series focuses on DeFi education, designed to deliver dual benefits: user knowledge acquisition and tangible project growth.
The campaign steps are:
- Learn: Users watch a video to understand the basics of DeFi.
- Act: Users perform an on-chain task, specifically a swap of a minimum of 1 USDT to 1 BNB.
This simple, guided sequence provides clear value:
- For the Project: It directly increases video views and, most importantly, boosts Total Value Locked (TVL) via the required on-chain transaction.
For the User: The task is easy to complete, and participants are highly motivated by the 100% probability of claiming rewards.
- User Onboarding: How DeFi Projects Can Onboard New Users Through TaskOn
For DeFi projects, user onboarding goes beyond attracting traffic — it requires guiding new users from awareness → first interaction → on-chain activation in a structured and low-friction way. TaskOn’s Quest and TaskChain modules provide a complete onboarding flow that transforms cold traffic into active users.
How It Works:
① Guided First Steps (Zero Noise Onboarding)
Projects can design a simple, beginner-friendly onboarding chain such as:
- Follow project social media
- Join Discord/Telegram
- Connect wallet
- Complete the first on-chain action (e.g., swap $5 worth of tokens)
All tasks are automatically verified on-chain, removing manual checking and ensuring a seamless user journey.
② Reduce Learning Barriers with “Do → Earn” Guidance
TaskOn encourages users to take the first on-chain action with small rewards that reduce psychological barriers:
- First swap
- First bridge transaction
- First stake
- First liquidity deposit
- First vote in governance
This hands-on structure moves users from spectators to actual participants.
③ Funnel Optimization Through Analytics
TaskOn provides clear drop-off data, showing where new users get stuck.
Projects can then optimize onboarding flows based on real behavior — not guesswork.
④ Activate Users from External Campaigns
Traffic from Twitter, Galxe, campaigns, and AMAs can be efficiently passed into TaskOn onboarding flows, turning visitors into active users.
Outcome: A smoother, funnel-based onboarding system that increases user activation rates and reduces early churn.
- Using DayChain to Build User Habits and Strengthen Community Stickiness
Habit formation is the foundation of long-term user retention. DayChain introduces a structured daily or weekly challenge system that rewards users for consistent participation.
Why It Works:
- Creates predictable engagement rhythms (daily/weekly loops)
- Builds community norms (“everyone is completing today’s challenge”)
- Encourages lightweight but high-frequency actions
- Uses streaks & gamification to reward discipline
Example: 7-Day Community Activation Challenge
Day 1: Share the project’s key update on X Day 2: Make a $5 spot trade or swap Day 3: Stake a small amount of the native token Day 4: Share a meme / educational post Day 5: Claim a daily check-in reward Day 6: Bridge assets to the project’s ecosystem chain Day 7: Complete a governance vote or join a community call
Each day has a new task, but the streak continues only if the user completes the previous day. This mechanism dramatically increases user retention and creates “habit loops” inside the ecosystem.
Key Benefits for DeFi Projects:
- Builds daily active user behavior
- Increases on-chain transactional frequency
- Enhances social visibility with constant user-generated content
- Creates psychological commitment through streak-based design
- Boosting On-Chain Activity With Trading Race + Multi-Chain Support
The Trading Race turns on-chain actions into competitive challenges, boosting engagement through leaderboard mechanics and rewards.
How It Helps DeFi Projects:
① Add High-Value On-Chain Tasks (Swap, Bridge, LP, Stake)
Projects can require:
- Swap on supported DEX
- Bridge assets into the ecosystem
- Provide liquidity
- Trade perpetual futures
- Redeem staking rewards
All data is verified through TaskOn’s automatic matching engine.
② 10+ Chain Support — Zero Integration Required
TaskOn natively supports tokens on more than 10 blockchains, enabling multi-chain DeFi projects to run unified campaigns with ease. Examples include: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, zkSync, Solana (via API), etc.
Verification is handled entirely by TaskOn — no additional engineering work required.
③ Leaderboard Gamification
The real engagement driver:
- Ranking updates in real time
- Competitive mechanics increase user activity
- Traders return frequently to maintain or climb ranks
- Perfect for driving volume, swaps, and ecosystem usage
This turns normally passive users into active on-chain participants.
- Milestone: How DeFi Projects Can Use the Milestone System for Deeper Contributor Recognition
Milestone gives DeFi projects a flexible, long-term achievement system designed to reward meaningful contribution, not just one-off participation.
What Milestone Enables:
① Long-Term Contribution Recognition
Instead of rewarding a single action, projects can reward cumulative contributions such as:
Total volume traded
Total staking days
Number of governance votes participated
Number of successful referrals
Number of campaigns completed
② Points & Level-Based Progression
Projects can design a community leveling system, such as:
Level 1: Beginner
Level 2: Explorer
Level 3: Trader
Level 4: Core Contributor
Level 5: Elite Member
Each level unlocks new perks or rewards.
③ Time-Based Progress Tracking
Projects can set goals over a fixed period (e.g., monthly or seasonal).
Users accumulate points from on-chain actions until they reach the required threshold.
④ Perfect for Long-Term Loyalty Programs
Milestones can function as a core loyalty system, ideal for:
Seasonal campaigns
NFT badge collections
OG/early supporter programs
Contributor reward cycles
Trading leagues or staking seasons
Outcome: A structured, predictable system that rewards your most loyal and active community members — boosting retention and lifetime value.
