> How SaTT Quests work: who can enter, tickets, auto, proof and honor actions, the verifiable draw, the audit, re-rolls and how prizes are paid.

## In short

A [Quest](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#quest) rewards verified participants with [tickets](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#ticket) for actions, then picks winners in a public [verifiable draw](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verifiable-draw) weighted by tickets. One SaTT account and one device count as one entrant, the owner cannot enter, and winners are audited for 24 hours before prizes are paid.

## What are the stages of a Quest?

1. **Live**: verified participants join and verify actions.
2. **Frozen** at the end date: tickets per entrant are fixed (capped per person) and committed in a Merkle root, together with a future BNB Smart Chain block.
3. **Drawn** once that block exists: its hash seeds the draw.
4. **Audit** (24 hours by default): honor actions and risky winners are checked; a disqualified winner is replaced deterministically.
5. **Final**: dollar prizes are credited; crypto winners claim.

## How are Quest actions verified?

| Tier | How it is checked | Examples |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto | Official API or tracked link | YouTube subscribe, visit a URL, quiz, e-mail, daily bonus |
| Proof | Evidence such as a unique comment code or a post link | Comment with your SATT-XXXXXX code, create a post |
| Honor | Self-declared, half the tickets by default, audited on winners | Follows and likes where no API exists |

Each action shows its real [verification tier](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verification-tier). Advertisers can disable honor actions.

## Why is the draw fair?

The entries are committed before the beacon block exists, so neither SaTT nor the advertiser can choose a seed. Anyone can press “Verify the draw” on the Quest page to recompute the root, the seed and the winners in the browser. Details: [Verifiable draw](https://satt.com/guides/features/verifiable-draw).

## Key takeaways

- Verified accounts only; one account and one device per entrant.
- Tickets come from auto, proof and honor actions.
- Winners are drawn from a future block hash and can be re-checked by anyone.
- A 24-hour audit precedes every payout.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who can enter a Quest?

Any SaTT account with at least one verified social account (official sign-in or bio code). Some Quests accept only Verified creators. The Quest owner cannot enter.

### Do more tickets mean a better chance?

Yes, the draw is weighted by tickets and without replacement, up to the Quest’s ticket cap per person. The Quest page shows an approximate chance.

### Why is my follow worth fewer tickets?

Where no API can confirm a follow or a like, the action is “honor”: it is worth half the preset tickets by default and is checked if you win.

### Can I enter twice with two accounts?

No. One SaTT account is one entrant and one device is one entrant. Entrants sharing an IP address get a risk score and are audited if they win.

### How do referrals work in a Quest?

You earn tickets when a different verified account joins with your link and completes at least one action. Referrals from the same IP address or device are refused, and there is a cap (10 by default).

### What happens if a winner is disqualified?

The prize goes to the next entrant in the same draw order. The re-roll depends only on who was disqualified, never on timing, and the new result is published and signed.

### How are prizes paid?

Dollar prizes are credited to the winner’s balance. Crypto winners claim the prize to a wallet linked to their SaTT account, with an Oracle-signed claim and a verified-account receipt.

### What if nobody wins a prize slot?

If no eligible entrant remains for a slot, it stays empty: in dollars that prize returns to the advertiser, in crypto it stays in the pool.

### How do I run my own Quest?

Choose “Quest” on the Create page, pick actions and prizes, and launch. See [Run a Quest](https://satt.com/guides/how-to/run-a-quest).
