The growth of the Web3 industry has always been the focus of market attention, and task platforms of various forms and characteristics play different roles in the growth of industry project data. As the two fastest-growing ecosystems this year, TON and Solana networks have also given birth to many task platforms. Combined with the task platforms of the ETH ecosystem in the past, the market has gone through the stage of blind volume and has entered the stage of commercial value expansion.
In this article, Odaily Planet Daily will briefly review the representative task platforms of each major ecosystem and briefly analyze their business models for readers reference.
TON Ecological Task Platform
Although the TVL of TON ecosystem has plummeted by more than 50% recently due to the news that the founder of Telegram was arrested in France, it is still one of the blockchain networks with a large number of users and new incremental markets, backed by Telegram, a giant social networking platform with nearly 1 billion monthly active users. The ecosystem has also attracted many projects and task platform projects to join. The following is an introduction to 2 representative platforms.
TON Society
Official account: @ton_society
Official website: https://society.ton.org
Introduction: On August 22, according to official news , TON Society, a community composed of developers and contributors who built the TON ecosystem, announced that it would operate as an independent entity. This strategic shift will enhance community participation, enhance transparency, and enable access to TON community operations and assets. As an independent entity, TON Society will focus on three core goals in the future: 1) Cultivate TON ecological activity initiators; 2) Expand awareness of the TON ecosystem; 3) Democratize community assets.
Previously, TON Society also cooperated with the official TON Foundation to launch the Open League Summer hackathon with a total prize pool of US$2 million, and launched TON Nest, a program to help early developers.
In the development of the TON ecosystem, TON Society plays a vital role and has now established cohesive local communities around the world. In addition, the platform has also set up a separate event page to facilitate platform projects to publish tasks and motivate active users of the TON ecosystem.

Solana Ecosystem Task Platform
When it comes to the Solana ecosystem, people often praise its united user community, highly cohesive developer team, and extremely active founding team. Among them, Superteam is one of the most active and leading communities that has gathered many project founders and developers. In addition, the community has also developed a separate task platform for developers, project owners, and ordinary users of the Solana ecosystem to post tasks, receive bounty tasks, and receive rewards.
Superteam Earn

Official website: https://earn.superteam.fun/
Introduction: Compared with other task platforms that focus more on project growth, the Superteam Earn platform is more similar to the crowdsourcing platform like Zhubajie.com in China. As mentioned in its official account introduction, Make Work To Earn cool again. Bounties and projects from top crypto companies on Solana. The website includes bounty tasks in different categories such as content, design, and development. The reward amounts range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. They are all professional tasks that are extremely suitable for Web3 practitioners, not just data growth - such as linking social media platform accounts and following the official accounts of certain projects.

ETH Ecological Task Platform
As the most active developer ecosystem, Ethereum is still the first choice for most users, projects and liquidity. Therefore, the number of task platforms in the ETH ecosystem is much larger than that in other ecosystems, so we also select some representative task platforms for brief introduction. It should be noted that the following two platforms are not purely for the Ethereum ecosystem and are for reference only.
Galxe
Official account: @Galxe
Official website: https://www.galxe.com/
Introduction: As an established task platform, Galxe has recently been trying to innovate and make new attempts: On August 15, Galxe officially announced Officially launched the ultimate membership service Galxe+, subscribers will enjoy a series of exclusive benefits, including membership of Web3 AI tool Alva, priority use of new Quest features, smart savings monthly points, free GalxePassport casting and Galxe Score casting discounts. Galxe+ has three levels: Pro, Premium and Unlimited, providing different benefit combinations to help users fully upgrade their experience in the Galxe ecosystem.
It has to be said that with new users becoming increasingly scarce, Galxe is also looking for a new business model to achieve self-sustaining blood, but in terms of the current market environment, whether this move can bring new profit models and cash income to the platform is still a big question mark. After all, for most industry users who are under the banner of empty drops and freeloading, if they have to pay to become a member to complete tasks, it is somewhat not worth the loss if the points income is not clear.

Layer 3
Official account: @layer 3 xyz
Official website: https://layer3.xyz/zh/
Introduction: As mentioned in its official account introduction, Future-oriented Attention Tokenization (Platform), Layer 3 has always been positioned as a token distribution protocol. Previously, it completed a $15 million Series A financing in June this year, led by ParaFi and Greenfield Capital, and participated by Electric Capital, Immutable, Lattice, Tioga, LeadBlock, Amber, etc., and successfully launched its token L3 and airdropped it at the end of July.
It is understood that projects built on Layer 3 can programmatically route tokens to the right users at the right time based on various criteria such as time triggers, asset ownership, on-chain activities, credentials, social graphs, and task participation. The official website shows that the platform has more than 1.1 million active users and an ecosystem value of over $100 billion.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Layer 3’s official website contains Chinese pages, and the user experience is relatively friendly.

Summary: The task platform has passed the wild growth period, and the next step is to establish a stable business model
Looking back, established task platforms such as RabbitHole have gradually faded into obscurity due to the fact that they have not issued tokens for a long time. QuestN (formerly Quest 3) has also been limited in its development due to its previous focus on data growth. The founding team has shifted its focus to the new AI project GM Network . Others such as TaskOn are still highly active in the market, but their activity is much lower than before.
After experiencing the previous market data growth boom of project parties and users colluding, the Web3 task platform has gradually passed the initial wild growth period and entered the business model exploration period - on the one hand, it tests the quality of active users of the platform; on the other hand, it depends on the quality of projects that publish tasks on the platform. The task platform can charge platform value-added fees to C-end users and platform service fees to B-end projects, but whether it can create a stable profit model still depends on whether the needs of both C-end and B-end are met.
Perhaps, what the task platform needs to think about next is whether it should provide better exposure resources for high-quality projects through mechanisms such as rankings and project reward sharing, and provide real users with more cost-effective or higher-return project recommendations, so as to realize its own value presentation.
