Applicant Name: Brian Flynn
Project Name: RabbitHole
Project Description: [Enter Project Description (1-3 sentences)]
- Quest Protocol is a quest protocol that enables anyone to define an allowlist and deploy tokens for the completion of onchain actions
- Quest Terminal is a no-code tool used to deploy quests to the Quest Protocol, RabbitHole aggregates all quests from the Quest Protocol
- As part of the grant, RabbitHole will build Arbitrum Quest Gateway, a white-label quest platform that lives on RabbitHole’s site (arbitrum.rabbithole.gg). It’s built on top of Quest Protocol that filters for exclusively Arbitrum quests with Arbitrum tokens
- All quests on Arbitrum Quest Gateway will also appear on RabbitHole, creating an opportunity to capture users on other networks

SECTION 2: GRANT INFORMATION
Detail the requested grant size, provide an overview of the budget breakdown, specify the funding and contract addresses, and describe any matching funds if relevant.
Requested Grant Size: [Enter Amount of ARB Requested]
1M ARB
Grant Matching: [Enter Amount of Matching Funds Provided - If Relevant]
100K ARB (from protocol fees generated)
Grant Breakdown: [Please provide a high-level overview of the budget breakdown and planned use of funds]
- The grant of 1m ARB will be entirely distributed through Quest Protocol to users as rewards for completing onchain quests across the Arbitrum ecosystem (details on projects later in proposal), which they can discover through Arbitrum Quest Gateway, a public good for the Arbitrum community.
You can read more about how the protocol works here
- Since the Referrer can be any interface that surfaces quests to users, the Arbitrum DAO’s Treasury address will be the recipient of referral claim fees.
The Arbitrum Community Quest Gateway will be a gateway exclusively for the Arbitrum community to discover and complete quests related to protocols on Arbitrum. Any Arbitrum community member can create quests for any Arbitrum project using the gateway. If anyone deploys a quest for an Arbitrum project with ARB as a reward via Quest Terminal, it will appear on Arbitrum Community Quest Gateway (and RabbitHole).
Below are designs for the portal. We’re funding development internally and expect the project to complete in the next 4 weeks.

How will receiving a grant enable you to foster growth or innovation within the Arbitrum ecosystem?: [Provide details]
- We created Quest Protocol because we believe that decentralized protocols need decentralized growth tools to attract and engage users. Current solutions like Airdrops are great for building hype, but don’t provide an incentive to keep transacting on protocols once the airdrop occurs. Quest Protocol solves this by making it easy for anyone to deploy tokens for a specific onchain action, while using allowlists to limit sybil activity.
- This grant will create the opportunity to bootstrap RabbitHole’s Arbitrum Quest Gateway with a proper token distribution program that anyone in the community to use, including future ARB grant recipients. We imagine that most community members will use this platform to kickstart growth when they launch and target new users rather than whales.
- We plan on deploying quests to incentivize specific actions +25/-25% the price of gas cost, ensuring that we can grow the number of new users, engaging existing ones, and re-activating dormant ones. When Quest Protocol grows, projects in the Arbitrum ecosystem grow alongside it and reap the benefits.
- We will deploy quests to the Quest Protocol for the following projects with the following allowlist strategies:
| Project | Category | Action | Target Users for Allowlist |
|---|---|---|---|
| TreasureDAO | Gaming | Swap on MagicSwap | Public, Gamers, L2 users |
| TreasureDAO | Gaming | Mint an NFT for TreasureDAO | Treasure Players |
| Sushi | DeFi | Swap on Sushi | Public, ARB holders |
| MUX Protocol | DeFi | Trade on MUX | Whales/Power users |
| Camelot | DeFi | Swap on Camelot | Public, Power users |
| GMX | DeFi | Swap on GMX | Public, Power users |
| Handle.fi | DeFi | Trade on handle.fi | Public |
| ParaSwap | DeFi | Swap on ParaSwap | Public, Power users |
| Hop | Bridge | Bridge to Arbitrum on Hop | Other L2 users |
| Stargate | Bridge | Bridge to Arbitrum on Stargate | Other L2 users |
| Tally | Delegate | Delegate ARB on Tally | ARB holders |
| Tally | Vote | Vote on ARB proposal | ARB holders |
| …and more |
Justification for the size of the grant: [Enter explanation]
- We received a grant from Optimism of 250k OP and were able to drive 520,000+ quest completions (1 action on a third party protocol = 1 quest completion) and we have potential to do much higher volume at this efficiency.
- We’re a neutral multi-chain protocol with the goal of growing overall Ethereum L2 usage and crypto in general. We view Arbitrum as one of the key players in our onchain future.
- With this grant we look forward to driving smart and sustainable growth for Arbitrum.
- Our distribution & quest completions are at all-time highs. Now is a great time to build out the quest ecosystem within Arbitrum. Please see below for additional metrics from our official dune dashboard and OP Grant Analysis.
Below are the highlights from our OP Case Study. For deeper analysis, check out the OP Case Study here
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Onchain Actions Driven | 520,000+ |
| Avg Cost-Per-Action | .29 OP ($0.40) |
| Unique Questor Addresses | 100,000 |
| New users acquired for Optimism | 38,000 |
