Hey everyone!

Iโ€™m beyond excited to announce that Layer3 has launched a completely reimagined questing experience nothing short of magical last week. Our team has been working tirelessly to bring you a truly engaging and immersive experience every time you log in to Layer3.

Our new quests are designed to help users of all levels of crypto-literacy explore the world of web3 and discover new platforms, protocols, and products.

And our reimagined questing experience will be more engaging and user-friendly than ever before, making it easier for users to find and complete quests, and explore the world of web3.

We're so happy to have you join us on this exciting new adventure. As always, if you have any feedback or questions, donโ€™t hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. We canโ€™t wait to see you on the other side!
