Getting started
This page provides the shortest entry into the documentation set. It outlines the main routes, the shared prerequisites, and the operating model for both participant and creator flows.
Primary routes
The documentation is organized around two primary workflows: participation and quest creation.
Participant documentation
Participant
Covers quest participation, task completion, reward claims, and participant support flows.
Open sectionCreator documentation
Creator
Covers quest design, deployment, funding, review, and finalization procedures.
Open sectionPrerequisites
Both workflows rely on the same small set of prerequisites.
An Ethereum-compatible wallet
You need a wallet that can connect to the app and sign actions when required.
Arbitrum One in your wallet
Signals runs on Arbitrum One. The site prompts you to switch automatically if you are on the wrong network.
An X account
Most quests include at least one X task. You log in once and the site handles verification from there.
A short setup window
Initial setup is brief. Subsequent participation or launch cycles are shorter once the required accounts are linked.
No platform fee
Signals does not take a cut of the reward pool. Funded rewards remain allocated to participants selected during finalization.
Process overview
The platform follows a short, repeatable process in both workflows.
Participant flow
Step 1
Quest page
The quest page displays the project, reward pool, deadline, and task set.
Step 2
Join step
Initial participation includes any required account connection and a wallet signature.
Step 3
Task completion
Each task opens the target platform and verifies after return to Signals.
Step 4
Review phase
After the quest deadline, the project reviews the eligible participant set.
Step 5
Claim phase
Selected participants claim rewards from the quest page through a single transaction.
Creator flow
Step 1
Configuration
Quest creation begins in the dashboard with the quest configuration form.
Step 2
Core fields
Name, logo, dates, reward token, and total reward pool define the baseline quest structure.
Step 3
Task setup
Tasks are added from the supported providers and any required channel setup is completed at this stage.
Step 4
Deployment and funding
Deployment publishes the quest and funding activates it for participant access.
Step 5
Review and finalization
Completed submissions are reviewed and the final reward set is published at the end of the quest.
Core terms
The following terms appear repeatedly across the documentation set.
Quest
A small mission a project runs. A list of social tasks with a real reward pool funded in advance.
Task
One item in a quest. Like Follow on X, Join the Telegram, or Vote in Discord. Each task verifies on its own.
Creator / owner
The project running the quest. They funded the pool. They pick the winners.
Participant
Someone completing the tasks.
Reward pool
The bag of tokens the creator funds at the start. Distributed at the end.
Finalize
The step at the end of a quest where the creator publishes who gets paid. After finalize, the participants claim.
Claim
The final step where a participant pulls their reward into their wallet. One transaction.
Arbitrum One
The blockchain Signals runs on. Same family as Ethereum, but cheaper and faster.
