## In short

A [Quest](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#quest) rewards verified people for actions (follow, comment with a code, create a post, visit a link, quiz, e-mail, daily check-in, referral) with [tickets](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#ticket), then picks winners by a public [verifiable draw](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verifiable-draw). Create one at [Create a Quest](https://satt.com/create?kind=quest): set prizes, actions and dates, launch, then audit winners from your dashboard before payout.

## How do you create a Quest step by step?

1. **Open Create with Quest selected** — Go to [Create a Quest](https://satt.com/create?kind=quest), choose Dollars or Crypto, paste your link and press **Generate my Quest**, or build it by hand.
2. **Set the prizes** — Choose **Fixed prizes** (N winners × an amount, or 1st / 2nd / 3rd…) or **Everyone gets a reward** (each valid entrant gets the amount while the budget lasts).
3. **Add actions and tickets** — Pick the actions people do and the tickets each one is worth. Each action shows its verification tier: auto, proof or honor.
4. **Set rules and dates** — Set the end date, the draw delay (hours after close), the max tickets per person (0 = no limit), and whether honor actions are allowed or only Verified creators may enter.
5. **Launch** — In dollars the prize budget is debited at creation. In crypto your wallet creates a fixed-reward AdPool and then signs the Quest settings.

## Which actions can you verify automatically?

Each action is checked at one of three [verification tiers](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verification-tier), shown to everyone:

| Tier | How it is checked | Examples |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto | Official API or a tracked link | Visit a URL, quiz, e-mail with consent, daily bonus, referral, YouTube subscribe |
| Proof | Evidence the participant provides | Comment with a unique `SATT-XXXXXX` code, create a post from a verified account |
| Honor | Self-declared, audited on winners | Follows and likes on networks with no public API |

Honor actions are worth half the preset tickets by default. Untick “Allow honor actions” to accept only checked actions. A post-creation action can add bonus tickets per 1,000 views, capped.

## How are winners drawn and checked?

1. **Live**: verified participants join and complete actions. One SaTT account and one device = one entry; you cannot enter your own Quest.
2. **Frozen** at the end date: tickets are fixed and committed as a Merkle root, tied to a future BNB Smart Chain block.
3. **Drawn** once that block exists: its hash seeds a draw weighted by tickets. Press **Run the draw** after the draw time.
4. **Audit** (24 hours by default): you review winners’ honor actions and risky winners, for example a shared IP. A disqualified winner is replaced by the next entrant of the same draw order.
5. **Final**: dollar prizes are credited to winners’ balances and unused budget is refunded; crypto winners claim to a wallet linked to their SaTT account.

## What does a simple Quest look like?

Example: a $200 dollar Quest for 14 days. After the 15% fee, $170 is available for prizes: 1st $70, 2nd $50, 3rd $30, and 2 × $10.

- Subscribe to the YouTube channel (auto): 3 tickets.
- Comment on the launch video with your code (proof): 5 tickets.
- Daily check-in (auto): 1 ticket per day.
- Max 40 tickets per person, draw 24 hours after close.

## Key takeaways

- Quests turn verified actions into tickets and draw winners publicly.
- Choose fixed prizes or “everyone gets a reward”.
- Actions are auto, proof or honor; honor is worth fewer tickets and audited.
- The entry list is frozen before the beacon block exists, so nobody can grind the draw.
- Audit winners before payout; re-rolls use the same draw order.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who can take part in my Quest?

Only people with a verified social account, one entry per SaTT account and per device. You can restrict it to Verified creators.

### Can I verify follows on Instagram or TikTok?

No public API exposes another user’s follows there, so those actions are honor-based and audited on winners.

### What happens to prizes nobody wins?

In dollars the unused budget is refunded to your balance at the end; in crypto it stays in the pool for you to withdraw.

### How long can a Quest run?

The link-first draft proposes 14 days and allows up to 30 days.
