Web3 decentralized applications (dApps) have struggled to acquire high-quality users during the crypto winter. This is partly because paid media and ads have not been very effective for crypto companies, making it challenging to reach high-value web3 users directly. However, one effective solution is to leverage a loyal community to evangelize and perform marketing on behalf of dApp.

Decentral Games is one of the best web3 games based in the metaverse that is trying to attract more web2 users by leveraging its community. This tactic is called referral marketing or web3 community-led marketing. Referral marketing is a powerful tool to incentivize existing users to bring new users to the platform. This way, dApp can attract high-quality users without spending a fortune on paid media and ads.

However, the big challenge with referral marketing is the high risk of spammy users entering the platform. Rewards can easily be exploited; there is no way to weed out the bad actors. These challenges are what Sesame Labs is solving with its Referral Quest feature.
