QSTN Launches on SKALE: Transforming Surveys with Gas-Free Rewards

Empowering Businesses with Reward-Based Feedback on the Fastest Blockchain

Surveys have long been a cornerstone of business intelligence. Whether it’s testing new product ideas, understanding customer satisfaction, or shaping marketing campaigns, the power of feedback has helped companies build better experiences, products, and relationships. Yet, despite their value, participation rates can be painfully low. To combat this, businesses often turn to rewards—gift cards, discounts, entries into sweepstakes. But managing and fulfilling these incentives is often slow, expensive, and highly manual.

Enter QSTN, a Web3-native survey platform that completely reimagines this model. By automating rewards using smart contracts and bringing gamification into the survey experience, QSTN helps businesses collect high-quality data while offering tangible, tokenized incentives. And today, SKALE, the gas-free invisible blockchain, is pleased to announce that QSTN is live on the network—ensuring that users and businesses alike enjoy a seamless, zero-cost experience from start to finish.

At its core, QSTN is a Web3 survey platform enabling businesses to fund surveys using SKALE tokens or NFTs while rewarding participants for their feedback. Through the power of smart contracts, QSTN ensures that rewards are distributed transparently and automatically when survey conditions are met—eliminating the labor-intensive, error-prone processes of traditional systems.

Designed as a Web2.5 platform, QSTN bridges the gap between Web2 ease and Web3 functionality. Users can simply sign up with an email, no wallet required, only needing to connect or create a wallet at the point of reward redemption. This lowers onboarding friction, making blockchain participation effortless and intuitive for everyday users.

Why QSTN Chose SKALE

QSTN’s mission centers around accessibility, engagement, and scale. With SKALE, QSTN can deliver a truly gasless experience, making it frictionless for users to claim their token or NFT rewards. Businesses can launch campaigns with confidence, knowing their users won’t face blockchain barriers.

This creates a live pool of active users—ready to engage with new campaigns at a moment’s notice.

Businesses not only receive quality, user-consented data but they also benefit from QSTN’s built-in quest platform. It’s an all-in-one solution for growth and insights.

Founder Quote:

"QSTN bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3 by offering a gasless experience powered by SKALE’s sFUEL. Businesses can fund surveys seamlessly, and users can claim rewards without worrying about gas fees or blockchain complexities. By abstracting the Web3 experience, QSTN positions itself as a Web2.5 on-ramp, enabling non-crypto users to step into the space with nothing more than an email sign-up—making crypto accessible, gamified, and engaging."
