Gamification in Web3 Boosts Retention by 43%, According to New Study by claimr and Generis

Together with Generis, a top blockchain marketing agency, claimr, an innovative platform for launching Web3 quests, has published an analytical study on the success of these initiatives for cryptocurrency projects. Collected from multiple campaigns, the data reveals that gamification techniques significantly affect user acquisition, retention, and token liquidity.

"We are finding that marketing campaigns devoid of gamification simply do not work as effectively nowadays. When every platform provides comparable features, the user experience becomes the deciding factor. Rewards for activity and referral programs are exactly what sets a project apart. According to our research with claimr, well-crafted quests can raise community activity by 63% and improve retention by an average of 43%. These represent actual values.” — Yaroslav Kalynychenko, Generis's CMO.

Core tools in Web3 marketing now are quests, airdrops, and onchain events. They inspire long-term ecosystem involvement, not only draw attention.

“Web3 quests have already become a standard for user onboarding in crypto projects. Our data confirms that gamified mechanics significantly increase retention and engagement. claimr’s role is to reward users for every action on the customer journey, thereby developing a habit of using the product on a regular basis." — Yurii Miliutin, Co-founder & CMO at claimr.

According to claimr, the average quest participation rate is 18%, but for gaming and meme coin projects, it reaches 35–40%. The analytics are based on 140+ campaigns launched via claimr in 2024. The high engagement rate is largely driven by emotional community involvement and viral social media activity — especially in meme coin ecosystems.
