How To Onboard Into Galxe

To start participating with your favorite web3 campaigns, the first thing you’ll want to do is go to galxe.com, connect your wallet on the left-hand side, and set up your Galxe ID.

Your Galxe ID is a unique on-chain identity that represents “you” on the platform and allows you to participate in various activities. Think of Galxe ID as your LinkedIn for the blockchain world. It’s a universal username that replaces your wallet address and lets you show off your achievements and credentials.

Additionally, don’t forget to link your Twitter and email accounts for a seamless web3 experience.

To make your onboarding experience even more exciting, we invite you to join our “Enter The Galxe Campaign.” This campaign will guide you through the initial steps of setting up your Galxe ID and introduce you to the core features of the platform. It’s a great way to familiarize yourself with Galxe and start earning rewards right from the beginning.

If you are having any trouble with connecting your Galxe ID, check out our handy dandy Help Center Guide!

🎙️ Astronaut Testimonial

“I live in a highly centralized system, so being in the web3 space where I can make transactions, send direct messages to friends, and have my identity remain anonymous is really important to me. With Galxe, I can also participate in campaigns and earn rewards while my identity remains anonymous. Even after completing KYC for the Galxe Passport, my data still remained anonymous to me and only me.” — Danfavour

A Trustworthy Ecosystem

Galxe recently created a new feature called “The Space Report Button” to empower users to contribute to a trustworthy ecosystem and provide valuable feedback to the Galxe team.

To Report A Space On galxe.com, You Must:

  1. Connect your wallet and have a Galxe ID to ensure the authenticity of the reports.
  2. Select a reason for your report from a list of options. (NOTE: Reports require a minimum of 20 characters to encourage meaningful information sharing and a better understanding of the reported issues.)
  3. You can report spaces once a week — this ensures each report receives proper attention from the Galxe Team.
  4. A pop-up reminder has been implemented for duplicate reports within a week, informing participants of ongoing investigations.

With the Space Report Button, you can actively contribute to a stronger and more trustworthy Galxe ecosystem. So, when you encounter a suspicious space, don’t hesitate to use the Space Report Button and join us in creating an environment of accurate information and user confidence.

Unlocking Rewards with Galxe Loyalty Points

At Galxe, we believe in rewarding you for your active participation and engagement. That’s why we’ve developed the Galxe Loyalty Point System. As a participant, you can earn loyalty points by interacting with campaigns and completing tasks. These points can then be used to unlock special rewards and benefits within the Galxe ecosystem.

By accumulating loyalty points, you can access exclusive features, participate in premium campaigns, and even receive unique rewards such as on-chain achievement tokens (OATs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), mystery boxes, custom rewards, and token-based rewards. The Galxe Loyalty Point System ensures that your efforts are recognized and incentivized, making your web3 journey even more rewarding.

Astronaut Tips

Here are some final tips and tricks from ionelan, Danfavour, and lolovecz.

— ionelan

  1. Do not postpone a campaign until the last minute because there is a chance that you simply will not have time to complete it.
  2. If you have completed a task in a campaign and are waiting for the snapshot data to be loaded from the campaign owner, do not be lazy and set an alarm for 10–20 minutes before the end of the campaign. Be proactive about the campaigns you want to participate in!

— lolovecz

  1. The right to choose is on you. Your keys = your coins.
  2. If you ever have questions, the community on Discord is always helpful.

— Danfavour

  1. I use Galxe as a sort of social media app. I can go users profiles to see campaigns they are participating in by checking their points, OATs or NFTs that they are claiming.
  2. Use the advanced filter when searching for campaigns to participate in! I like using this feature to search for Mintlist campaigns.
