Trails wants to bring Solana back to the market with a bang!
Trails is an educational tool to help expose users to new projects. The core project team are Michael Dillon and Kellen Blumberg.
Michael Dillon is a Solana analyst and Kellen Blumberg is a developer and data scientist.
By creating this platform, they intend to introduce users to various projects on the Solana network and have also considered incentives for activities on this platform.
In this article, we examine one of the projects of this Zeta Market platform and see the impact of Trails on it.
Introduction
Trails
Trails is an educational tool to help expose users to new projects.
By working on projects and completing tasks in Trails, you will receive some XP as a reward.
In fact, by defining tasks such as visiting a project's website or making a transaction on a project (according to the existing guide and step by step), you can get the most XP.
The sum of these XP leads to various rewards.
In fact, the user has worked on projects and has been trained in various subjects, and they receive both direct rewards (rewards available in Trails) and indirect rewards (for example, whitelisting in projects).
Currently (May 5, 2023), Tensor, Famous Fox Federation, Zeta Markets, Bonk, Jupiter Exchange, Aver Exchange, Marinade Finance projects cooperate with Trails.
