Zealy x Kava: Onboarding the Next Wave to DeFAI

Previously, we’ve explored how Kava is building the infrastructure for a decentralized AI future, from privacy-preserving protocols to secure interoperability. The next step is making sure that people can actually participate. That’s where Zealy enters the picture.

Kava’s has an ambitious goal: create a decentralized AI and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) ecosystem that has real-world impact. We’re talking about AI that is not locked behind corporate paywalls or centralized servers, but instead powered by a community-driven network of compute, storage, and intelligence. Decentralization isn’t just about the technology, it’s about the people. Without human participation, even the best decentralized AI will stall. And that’s where Zealy comes in.

Why This Partnership

Zealy has built a reputation as the go-to platform for activating Web3 communities. Through their gamified quest systems, users can complete challenges, earn rewards, and level up their skills, all while contributing to real projects. By partnering with Zealy, Kava is creating a fun and rewarding on-ramp for people curious about decentralized AI to get involved.

This isn’t just “click a button and get a token.” We can invite users to train AI models, test DePIN tools, provide feedback on governance proposals, and even help improve Kava’s infrastructure. It’s real contribution, with real impact.

Zealy’s engagement engine and Kava’s decentralized AI infrastructure form a complete onboarding pathway: market exposure, active participation, and real-world technological impact. It’s a combination designed to accelerate not only awareness but also long-term engagement.

Decentralized AI Needs Decentralized Humans

Building AI on a decentralized network means avoiding the risks that come with centralization, single points of failure, corporate censorship, and opaque algorithms. For that vision to succeed, the user base itself must be decentralized. That means thousands of participants from around the world directly in the process.

Through Zealy’s quest system, anyone can join. Whether you’re a DeAI veteran or just crypto-curious, you’ll find tasks suited to your skills and interests. The more you engage, the more you’ll learn, and the more the network benefits.

What You Can Expect

When the campaign launches, participants will be able to:

• Train AI models by contributing labeled data or running training tasks on decentralized nodes.
• Test DePIN tools by deploying hardware or interacting with network features in real-world conditions.
• Shape governance by voting on proposals, suggesting improvements, and helping prioritize development.
• Earn rewards in recognition of your contributions, both on Zealy and within the Kava ecosystem.

Each quest is designed to be approachable. The barrier to entry is low, but the impact is high.

Building the Future Together

Kava and Zealy share a vision: technology is most powerful when it’s in the hands of the people using it. This is an activation event for the decentralized AI era.

By making it easy (and fun) to participate, we’re bringing in the next wave of contributors who will help train, test, and govern the systems shaping the future of AI.

Stay tuned for more on coming quests as your journey into decentralized AI is about to begin.
