The first global, permissionless NFC scavenger hunt launched at ETHDenver.

ETHDenver 2024, “The Year of the SporkWhale,” brought together a vibrant community of builders, users, and enthusiasts across all blockchains, fostering a collaborative multichain ecosystem of innovation and energy. Among various activation activities, NFC technology played a prominent role, with several projects, including IYK and POAP, offering interactive scan-to-win challenges. However, only KONG Land’s $RERRO Quest entered unchartered territory as the world’s first global, permissionless scavenger hunt.

Scan To Adventure

$RERROs — the ambrosia of KONG Land.

Our quest led brave adventurers on a legendary journey to hunt for $RERROs (ERC-20 tokens on BASE) alongside the Guardians of KONG. Inspired by the delectable Ferrero Rocher chocolates and ingrained in the mythos of KONG Land’s origins, $RERROs, renowned for their ‘up only’ vitality, were the key to restoring harmony between physical and digital realms. The full story of this epic adventure can be explored at rerro.quest.

Questing Beyond ETHDenver

Being fully permissionless, $RERRO Quest expanded beyond the confines of just ETHDenver. Thanks to the HaLo secure chips that powered the quest, intrepid adventurers could discover and scan any HaLo-chipped item, whether present at the event or hanging in someone’s closet at home. Scannable items at ETHDenver included $RERRO drop points hidden in plain sight and HaLo chipped merch.

Based on an adapted version of the OpenZeppelin Minimal Forwarder that leverages ERC-2771 meta-transactions transactions on behalf of the HaLo chips, $RERRO Quest offered participants a simple yet elegant experience — no gas required. Upon each successful scan of a chip, $RERRO tokens were minted directly into participants’ wallets, all without needing a direct wallet connection.

An online leaderboard tracked the overall quest progress with treasures from MetaFactory, House OG, On-Chain Records, and Kong Cash awaiting the top adventurers.

Just The Beginning

Embracing the spirit of collaboration and openness, we’ve made the $RERRO Quest codebase publicly available. Feel free to dive into the repository to explore the quest’s inner workings or to innovate further on its foundation.

We look forward to elevating the $RERRO Quest beyond a singular event into a collection of new scannable adventures with our collective imagination.
