## In short

A [Quest](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#quest) is a pool where verified participants complete actions (follow, comment with a code, create a post, visit a link, quiz, e-mail, daily check-in, referral) to earn [tickets](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#ticket). When it ends, entries are frozen and a [verifiable draw](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verifiable-draw) weighted by tickets picks the winners. It works in both the dollar and the crypto edition.

## What is a Quest?

A Quest is the giveaway pool kind of SaTT, next to fixed-reward and performance AdPools. Unlike usual giveaway tools, only [verified accounts](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verified-account) can enter, every action shows how it is checked, and anyone can recompute the winners.

Create one from [Create a Quest](https://satt.com/create?kind=quest): the link-first flow drafts the actions, ticket values and prizes from your link.

## How do actions and tickets work?

Each action is worth a number of tickets and carries a [verification tier](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verification-tier):

| Tier | How it is checked | Examples |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto | Official API or tracked link | YouTube subscribe, visit a link, quiz, e-mail, daily check-in, referral |
| Proof | Evidence the participant provides | Comment with a unique `SATT-` code on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram; create a post and submit its link |
| Honor | Self-declared, audited if the participant wins | Follows and likes on networks without an API; X actions today |

Honor actions are worth half the preset tickets by default, and the brand can disable them entirely. A cap on tickets per person keeps the draw fair.

## What happens from launch to payout?

1. **Live**: verified participants join and verify actions.
2. **Frozen** at the end date: tickets are locked into a public commitment.
3. **Drawn** once a future BNB Smart Chain block exists: its hash seeds the draw.
4. **Audit** (24 hours by default): the brand reviews winners’ honor actions and risky winners; a disqualified winner is replaced by the next entrant of the same draw order.
5. **Final**: dollar prizes are credited to balances and unwon budget is refunded; crypto winners claim to a linked wallet.

## What are the anti-fraud rules and limits?

- One SaTT account = one entry; one device = one entry. Participants sharing an IP are audited if they win.
- The Quest owner cannot enter their own Quest.
- The owner can reserve the Quest for [Verified creators](https://satt.com/guides/features/verified-creator-badge).
- Prizes are tiers (for example 1 × $50 and 5 × $10) or the same amount for “everyone” up to what the budget covers.

## Key takeaways

- Actions earn tickets; a public draw weighted by tickets picks the winners.
- Only verified accounts enter: one account and one device per entry.
- Every action is labelled auto, proof or honor; honor actions earn half by default.
- A 24-hour audit precedes payout; replacements follow the same draw order.
- Works in dollars and in crypto.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I see my chance of winning?

Yes. The Quest page shows your live ticket count and an approximate chance based on the tickets of all participants.

### What happens to prizes nobody wins?

In dollars the unwon budget is refunded to the brand at the end. In crypto it stays in the pool, which the brand can withdraw.

### Why are X follows honor actions?

Automatic X checks need an X API access that is not active in production today, so SaTT labels them honor and audits them on winners.
