Get ready to return to the Zapperverse.

On September 23 at midnight GMT, Season 2 of Zapper Quests will go live. Users will once again be able to earn experience for activities they do on the dashboard and level up their wallet addresses as they achieve XP milestones.

We have added several exciting new features to Season 2 of our dashboard gamification, which will enrich questing and teach curious players more about the Zapperverse itself.

Start Date: Sept 23, 2021 at 00:00:00 GMT

End Date: January 1, 2022 at 23:59:59 GMT

What’s New in Season 2?

Zapperverse Lore

There is much to be discovered about the Zapperverse and Mount Zap, the mysterious land that Zapeus calls home. Each NFT users earn will reveal a bit more about this strange place and the deities that live there.

They say true financial freedom awaits those who are keen enough to find their way through the DeFi labyrinth at the base of Mount Zap and journey to the mountain’s peak…

Volts

This Season, users will collect XP AND Volts when completing Quests on the Zapper dashboard.

XP allows users to level-up, whereas Volts will give users more flexibility with an exciting new mechanism in the Zapper NFT collecting experience — crafting.

Users will also be able to burn NFTs earned during Season 2 to collect 75% of the NFT cost in Volts. This will be helpful if users are focused on earning a higher level of a specific Season 2 NFT, and have extras of a different NFT that they do not plan to craft.

To reward long-time users, everyone who participated in Season 1 of Zapper Quests will start Season 2 with 100 Volts per level they reached in Season 1. Keep this in mind as you plan your Season 2 collection!

Rarity Levels & Crafting

Season 2 introduces the ability to combine Zapper NFTs to increase their rarity levels. There are four rarity levels in Season 2: Common, Silver, Gold, and Trophy.

Users can craft a Silver version of an NFT once they collect 3 Common versions of it; 3 Silver versions will enable users to craft a Gold version; and 3 Gold Versions will allow users to craft a Trophy.

Note that all NFTs used for crafting are burned; so choose your crafts wisely!

Users can also spend Volts they have accumulated through Quests to craft NFTs. For example, if a user has only two Silver versions of a Season 2 NFT, they can spend Volts to make up the difference in place of the required third Silver NFT. Another option, depending on how many Volts you have earned, is to craft NFTs using only Volts.

The timeline Season 2 should allow all users to collect a variety of NFTs at various rarity levels; the season doesn’t end until the New Year. However, if their time on the dashboard is limited, users will need to decide which NFTs they have their hearts set on collecting & Quest accordingly.

NFTs

Some of our favourite characters will be returning for another appearance in the Zapperverse. Season 1 Zapeus and Zappy NFTs can be used to craft higher-tier versions of themselves in Season 2! They are also the only Season 2 NFTs that can be used to craft a Trophy-tier NFT.

Zapeus and Zappy will be joined by a number of new characters, all with their own unique NFT, and each of whom have an important role in the Zapperverse.

While NFTs can only be crafted on Ethereum, Season 2 Quests can be done on other supported sidechains. This way, users can earn XP and Volts on any network.

Recapping the Basics

Quests

Like in Season 1, users will complete activities listed under the “Quests” tab on the dashboard to claim experience and level up their address. No transaction is required to claim experience, only an off-chain signature is needed.

Quests can be completed on any network integrated with our dashboard, and there will be various types of quests available: daily, weekly, or unique one-time quests.

Levels & XP

For those that participated in Season 1, please note that your levels and XP will NOT be reset. You will be able to continue collecting experience from where you left off!

All users will have a chance to earn XP and level up by completing different Zapperverse quests. There are also streak bonuses that increase experience earned if users complete the daily quests on consecutive days.

Keep an eye on our Twitter account for more updates in the days leading up to Season 2. We’ll see you in the Zapperverse…
