DASH User Journey: Gamified Onboarding for Seamless Engagement and Adoption

With DASH prices trending positively, I believe now is the perfect time to capitalize on this momentum and strengthen the DASH ecosystem by introducing features that offer a more engaging and user-friendly experience.
One idea I’m particularly excited about is a gamified onboarding experience for DASH users. Inspired by platforms like Duolingo, this approach would make learning about and using DASH intuitive, enjoyable, and rewarding.

Proposed User Journey
Users will progress through interactive levels, each showcasing key functionalities of DASH:
- Level 1: Learn how to Receive 1 DASH.
- Level 2: Send or transfer 1 DASH plus the transaction fee.
- Level 3: Set up a wallet for secure fund management.
- Level 4: Acquire DASH via an on-ramp or wallet transfer.
- Level 5: Explore cross-chain compatibility through bridging.
- Level 6: Use InstantSend for real-time transactions.
- Level 7: Complete a PrivateSend transaction to learn about enhanced privacy.
- Level 8: Discover DASH Evolution with DPNS Dash Platform Name Service (DPNS) and the DashPay payment application contract
- Level 9: Learn about Masternodes and Evonodes and the decentralized governance in the Dash DAO and then maybe hold some Dash in Crowdnode, and vote on the current monthly treasury proposals
- Level 10: Learn all about Dash Evolution, try using some dapps, and offer ideas for new dapps to be built.
- Level 11: Use Maya DEX to trade Dash.
- Level 12:.....
- Level 13:....
- Etc.

Benefits
This structured, step-by-step onboarding will:
- Educate users about DASH's unique features.
- Build confidence and encourage active engagement.
- Highlight key value propositions such as InstantSend and PrivateSend.
With the growing interest in DASH, this initiative could play a pivotal role in attracting new users and showcasing the ecosystem's full potential.

Will be publishing a guide regarding the above very soon for detailed information.

Hello voters,

With DASH prices on the rise, I’ve introduced exciting new features to enhance the user journey within the DASH ecosystem. Building on the success of last time’s gamified onboarding experience, I’m excited to create something even more impactful for DASH—driving user growth and boosting engagement across the ecosystem.

Looking forward to your support!

I've seen the site and like it, I've seen your appearance on the Dash Incubator and liked what I saw. We surely need more attention to the Evolution chain - Platform. Currently only the https://platform-explorer.com/ and https://mnowatch.org/evonodes/ and https://dash.vote/ sites are showing some of the capabilities and statistics of the new chain, more are needed in particular in places that other people visit too, not just true blue Dashers.

Having a good visualization tool that shows how Dash Core and Dash Platform work together would be good for both existing and prospective Dash users.

TxCity is a fun and memorable way to educate people on our infrastructure.

I had a positive experience working with the dev(s) in phase 1 (Incubator funded), but I think it’s important for devs to have a direct relationship with MNOs, so I’m encouraging them to submit independent proposals.
