Let me tell you a story. Arkada is truly based. I originally joined Soneium for the hype, but along the way Arkada became my trusted companion on that journey.
Arkada is a reputation-based quest-to-earn platform within the Soneium ecosystem, similar to Layer3, which came to fill the gamification part. It is designed to enhance user engagement in Web3 through interactive quests and challenges.
I embraced the vision in the summer, and since then I've done some cool things! Must admit I didn't do much in the last 2 months, as the InfoFi hustle took over... but I still have stats!
So far I've completed countless Arkada quests, got 120k points and currently on 537th on the global leaderboard. Maybe I should push it a bit more this year and see how it goes!
Arkada is built on Soneium and offers users a gamified environment where they can complete quests, earn rewards, and build their legacy along the onchain reputation. It integrates elements of gaming, NFTs, authentic engagement, and decentralized experiences!
As I said... I joined for the hype... and stayed for the tech! Arkada didn't stick to only Soneium, and opened some doors on Monad, Base, Sonic and even Plume! It was part of the exploration!
I got top recognition badge on Soneium, shiny in diamond. The Monad testnet and Base got me a gold badge, with Sonic close in silver tier! There are also chains I didn't explored too much... like MegaETH or Somnia!
You know I am into non-fungible tokens, so getting some NFTs along the way was a bonus! Got the Arkada x Soneium Ecosystem Badge, the Sonex Colab Badge and the hard to get Path On Soneium Footprint Badge!
I quested, earned XP and chased airdrops simultaneously. From there, I moved through what felt like magical portals, reaching Base and exploring far beyond. This is my Arkada story.
Arkada consistently put me onto emerging protocols before they became widely known, combining flawless gamification with genuine early alpha and clear, reliable guidance that made exploring the ecosystem both rewarding and exciting.
I minted the five NFTs of the shogun collection, but then it got too expensive! The breastplate and the katana were spicy to get, and what I've got in rewards wouldn't cover the investment.
The Shogun NFT has a lot of perks and the number of holders is low... so maybe long term they will be winners! I hope that one day the floor price will drop and will complete the series from the secondary market!
In 2025 I completed quests and earned badges, and I’m genuinely grateful to the Arkada team for lighting the way. I walked the path of the samurai, and through discipline I earned my gear.
Those artifacts and pieces of memorabilia weren’t just cosmetic either, they directly influenced my score and boosted my questing rewards. If Soneium will have an airdrop... I think I am well positioned!
More than once, I earned ETH for placing in the top 100 on Arkada, which made the experience feel meaningful and competitive. My Arkada 2025 rewind really captured that loyalty, showing 1,561 completed transactions and a total volume reaching 6,000.
Unlike traditional quest platforms that often contend with bots and short-term participants, pointing fingers at Intract which I dislike, Arkada employs a dynamic reputation scoring system to distinguish and reward genuine long-term contributors.
From a samurai’s perspective, I’ve now become a ronin. Player versus market has no master. Looking at my favorite dapps on Soneium by usage, Arkada clearly takes the top spot!
It's no wonder that Arkada was my most used Soneium dApp of 2025. I've done 294 transactions, and set the standard too high for Sonex and Sake Finance. I love them as well.. but not that much!
