RadQuest: Redefining Web3 Onboarding | The Radix Blog | Radix DLT
Web3 has a problem.
Millions of potential users are held back from exploring the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) because the onboarding process is confusing and intimidating. Users are confronted with technical jargon, complex interfaces, and the fear of making irreversible mistakes.
To achieve the mainstream adoption we all crave, Web3 needs a solution that makes onboarding seamless, engaging, and educational.
That’s where Radix comes in with RadQuest – A crypto onboarding experience anyone can confidently use.
RadQuest isn’t just an onboarding tool; it’s an engaging, gamified learning experience that showcases the power of the Radix Full Stack.
As users explore RadQuest, they will learn about core Radix features while using them. As a result, features like Native Assets, Smart Accounts, Personas, and easily-understandable Transaction Reviews become things users see first hand rather than just things they are told about.
RadQuest is live now, so if you want to get started earning XRD and unique RadMorph NFTs, you can dive right in by going to https://radquest.io.

Solving Web3’s Onboarding Problem with RadQuest
RadQuest is here to provide the ecosystem and community of Radvocates with the tools needed to “show” rather than “tell” anyone why Radix is the future home of Web3 and DeFi. The platform is designed to engage and educate users, supporting the next phase of growth for the Radix Network.
Developed alongside the award-winning digital product studio ustwo (the makers of Monument Valley who have worked with companies like iShares and Peloton), RadQuest offers an intuitive, gamified experience that simplifies the Web3 learning journey. It acts as the introduction to the Radix Ecosystem for newcomers, giving them the tools and knowledge they need to experience safe, reliable, and user-friendly DeFi on Radix.
Meet Jetty – Your Guide to the Future of Web3
Every great adventure needs a guide, and Jetty is here to welcome the next wave of users to the Radix Network through RadQuest.
Jetty will lead users through their journey to better understand Radix and the features of the network that solve common DeFi pain points. Whether new to Web3 or just new to Radix, Jetty is there to equip you with what you need.
Throughout RadQuest, Jetty helps users through simple, mobile-friendly quests that take a user through key onboarding steps such as:
- Setting up their Radix Wallet and first Account
- Creating and logging in with a Persona
- Staking XRD
- Using a DEX with Radix’s guarantees
- Moving assets into Radix via THORSwap (coming soon!)
- And more
Throughout their adventure, Jetty also rewards users with XRD and Gift Boxes as they complete quests.
Each Gift Box contains special (tradeable) on-chain items, which, when combined, can create unique and collectible NFTs called RadMorphs. There are over 3,000 unique RadMorph combinations, each with varying rarity levels, quality scores, and intricate 3D designs.
From RadGems to RadMorphs
Users can earn a variety of on-chain assets while completing RadQuest. Many of these are used in the creation of RadMorphs, such as:
- Gift Boxes: As users progress through RadQuest, they will earn Gift Boxes. Each contains one Morph Energy Card (NFT) and a quantity of Elements (tokens). Higher quality Gift Boxes contain more Elements and rarer Morph Energy Cards.
- Elements: After collecting five Elements, Jetty will help users fuse them to create a RadGem. RadGems come in various colors and materials: Crystalline (common), Metallic (rare), and Radiant (ultra-rare), each with a quality score between 1 and 25.
- Morph Energy Cards: These determine the final shape of a RadMorph. They are obtained via Gift Boxes and have a quality score of 1-50.
- RadMorphs: Created by combining two RadGems and one Morph Energy Card, each RadMorph has a final quality rating of up to 100, making each unique and personalized.
All items, including Gift Boxes, Elements, RadGems, Morph Energy Cards, and RadMorphs, are tradable on secondary marketplaces, with their images hosted on Arweave for true decentralization.
What’s Next for Breakout 2024?
