It’s been a loooooong year.
We’ve seen it all — from ETH peaking at $4k to FTX going bankrupt, being in web3 has certainly been a rollercoaster of emotions.
It’s been a rough ride. And we here at Layer3 think that everyone is long overdue for some holiday cheer.
This crypto winter, come join us for an immersive web3 experience like you’ve never seen before.
Every week this month, you’ll be able to participate in holiday-themed activities by leveling up and completing exciting web3 challenges via Layer3. In the true spirit of the Holidays, we’re also partnering with The Giving Block to maximize your crypto donations to selected non-profits covering development, refugee aid, education, and more.
Through a series of festive Quests, this crypto winter is the best time to polish your skills by trying out new protocols, venturing into different crypto sectors, and experimenting with new on-chain actions.
To make things extra festive, we’ll be going all holiday season long.
Starting today, complete our Holiday Kickoff Quest, and claim a commemorative NFT (available only to those who hold our Thanksgiving NFT) to get started.
Ready to go? Here’s how it’ll work:
-
You’ll have two weeks to complete our Holiday Kickoff Bounty starting today.
-
Everyone who completes our Holiday Kickoff Bounty will be automatically entered into a raffle for a selection of crypto and IRL rewards, via the commemorative NFT that they hold.
-
12 Days of Layer3: Starting December 12, we’ll have a series of fun on-chain quests every single day until Christmas Day (Dec 24) for you to enter daily raffles to win exclusive crypto and IRL prizes
-
Like an Advent Calendar, prizes won’t be revealed until the very end of each day (24 hours).
-
If you complete our Kickoff Bounty, you have two raffle entries for each Quest.
-
Each Quest will run for seven days after they are posted.

Your Layer3 Wrapped: And to bring in the New Year, we’ll be posting a special “Layer3 Wrapped” Quest with an achievement that celebrates all the progress you’ve made on Layer3
Our holiday gift to you: This winter, we’re giving back
While bad actors in crypto have done nothing but take, we’re in the business of giving back. The holidays should be a time to celebrate generosity and kindness, and that’s why we’re giving away over $7500 in gifts to our community and beyond this winter.
In partnership with The Giving Block, WooFi, and other exciting partners soon to be revealed, anyone who participates in our Holiday Campaign will have the opportunity to win both crypto & IRL rewards and match their donations.
Here are a few examples of the prizes you may win:
-
Ledgers
-
$100 Amazon Gift Cards
-
Allowlist for exclusive NFT projects
-
Free web3 Domains
-
Limited supply NFTs by SuperRare artist @waarpdesign
…and more to be revealed 👀
In 12 Days of Layer3, we’ll have 4 days dedicated solely to giving to selected nonprofits accepting crypto donations — covering education, science, development, refugee aid, wildlife conservation, and women’s empowerment.
Goal: Donate at least $15,000 in crypto in time for Christmas!
This is the best part of our Winter Extravaganza, and where you can play a huge part!
In partnership with The Giving Block, we will be offering up to $2,500 in matching to anyone participating in donations via our campaign. This means that if you donate $50, we will also donate $50.
Together with The Giving Block, we will operate a Polygon multi-sig for donations where donations will be verified on-chain via Layer3 Quests. To ensure transparency, we’ll also ask for confirmation of donation receipt by each nonprofit listed, and for on-chain confirmation by The Giving Block.
In the true spirit of giving, do some good and maximize your impact this winter. Will you join us in giving back?
All crypto donations will go to the following nonprofits:
