Proof of Work (PoW) tasks in claimr are a way to verify that users have completed a specific action before they can receive a reward. PoW tasks require users to submit evidence of completion, which can then be reviewed and either approved or rejected. The verification process makes PoW tasks valuable for activities that require your users' efforts.
Verify actions: Confirm that users have genuinely engaged with your content or community (e.g., watched a video, written a review, created content).
Higher quality engagement: Encourage more meaningful interactions, as users must actively complete a task and provide proof.
Reduce fraud: Deter bot activity and ensure that rewards are earned by real users performing genuine actions.
User-generated content: Incentivize and verify the creation of user-generated content.
For detailed information about general task settings, including task name, header, description, rewards, dependencies, and more, refer to Task settings.
Select Proof of Work to indicate the task requires the users' proof of work.
Select the specific form task type from the expanded list, considering your aim: Image, Link, or Answer as Proof of Work.
Once you've selected both, move on to configuring the specific settings for your task.
The "Answer as Proof of Work" task type allows you to require users to submit a text-based answer as verification of completing a task.
All settings for Answer as Proof of Work are optional. You can customize the task based on your specific needs.
Message: This is where you enter the question or instruction that users will see and respond to. This can be the prompt for their text answer.
WIP Message: This message is displayed to users after they submit their answer, while it's awaiting verification. You can use this to set expectations (e.g., "Your answer is being reviewed.").
Auto confirm toggle: If enabled, answers will be automatically approved without manual review. Use this with caution, and only when you are confident in the verification method.
Long text toggle: Enable this if you expect users to provide longer answers. This will provide a larger text area for their response.
Button text: Customize the text of the button users click to submit their answer.
Resubmit button text: Customize the text of the button users click to resubmit their answer.
The "Image as Proof of Work" task type allows you to require users to upload an image as verification of completing a task.
WIP Message: This message is displayed to users after they upload their image, while it's awaiting verification. See the example below.
Show text input toggle: Enable it if you want users to complete a text input field along with their image upload. This is useful for: Context: Allowing users to explain their image or provide additional details. User identification: Collecting usernames, IDs, or other information related to the image.
Text input title: This field lets you set the prompt for the text input field. If "Show text input" is disabled, this setting is ignored.
Auto confirm toggle: Enable it to automatically approve all image submissions without manual review. Use this with extreme caution, and only for tasks where you are absolutely certain that any uploaded image constitutes valid proof.
The "Link as Proof of Work" task type allows you to require users to submit a URL as verification of completing a task.
WIP Message: This message is displayed to users after they submit their link, while it's awaiting verification (or after automatic verification, if enabled).
Regular expression: Enter a regular expression (RegEx) to validate the format of the submitted URL. If the URL doesn't match the pattern, the submission will be rejected (or not auto-confirmed, if auto-confirmation is enabled).
Auto confirm toggle: Enable this toggle to automatically approve all link submissions without manual review.
After you've configured all sections of your task, click Save Changes to apply your changes. If you don't want to save your changes, click Close.
To see how your task will appear to users, click Preview. This will open a new tab showcasing three different views: desktop, tablet, and mobile. You can toggle between these views to ensure your task looks and functions seamlessly across all devices.
You can track the status of all PoW task submissions through the Analytics section of your claimr dashboard. This section allows you to:
View submissions: See a list of all users who have submitted proof for a particular PoW task.
Review evidence: Examine the submitted proof (image, link, or answer) provided by each user.
Approve or reject: Manually approve or reject each submission based on whether the user has fulfilled the task requirements.
Analytics: Track approved and rejected submissions.
