2.8 million microtasks and continuing to grow: How the nGRND Gold Protocol reshapes Web3 engagement

Web3 shifts from passive speculation to active participation: How nGRND Gold Protocol reshapes the community economy

One of the most hotly discussed topics in the Web3 field currently is the shift from passive speculation to active participation. However, beyond the noisy discussions, there are few platforms that can truly verify the feasibility of this model in large-scale scenarios. In this context, the nGRND Gold Protocol (hereinafter referred to as nGRND) came into being. This is an innovative ecosystem that completely disrupts the traditional token holder model by placing daily participation at the heart of its economic model.

The platform is led by veteran innovation, online games and resource industry experts, including founder David Lucatch. Its unique framework leverages customized Dynamic Soulbound Tokens (DSBTs) to transform a user's native activity-whether sports predictions or AI-driven gaming experiences-into a unified engine linked to real-world rewards.

The market's response to this was so enthusiastic that it would be an understatement to describe it as "unexpected". In my conversation with David, I had expected to see steady growth, but the latest verified data was shocking. The number of users in the ecosystem has soared to more than 248,000, with a staggering 220,393 users (and the number is still growing) already holding a minted DSBT. This clearly shows that this community is not just bystanders, but active participants. What is even more impressive is the high-frequency activity of the network: as of October 6, 2026, its daily active users (DAUs) exceeded 40,000, weekly active users (WAUs) exceeded 143,000, and monthly active users (MAUs) exceeded 204,000. With users completing more than 2.8 million microtasks, nGRND is setting an unprecedented benchmark for the active Web3 community.

In this exclusive interview, David took an in-depth look at the mechanisms behind these huge amounts of data, detailed how his dual-vault "Preserved Gold" model provides unique asset stability, and explained why "participation" is the ultimate key to the future of Web3.

For readers who have just discovered the nGRND Gold Protocol, how would you describe what you are building? What convinced you that "participation" must be at its core?

David Lucatch：

We are building a sustainable Web3 engagement and reward ecosystem that shifts the focus away from pure token speculation and redirects it to truly value-added community activities.

The long-standing pain point of Web3 lies in the "holder trap." The project party issues tokens, and people buy them and wait for the price to rise, but never really interact with the technology. This has resulted in fragile and mercenary communities. We realize that true, long-term value of the network comes from continuous engagement. By putting participation at the heart of the nGRND Gold Protocol, we transform users into active contributors and inspire them to interact with our platform and partners every day, creating a healthier and more resilient ecosystem.

In the past month, you have introduced two very different "engagement stream partners": Predictfully's sports prediction community and Astra Nova's AI game universe. What exactly are you looking for when deciding whether a platform fits?

David Lucatch:

While sports prediction and AI games may seem completely different on the surface, they share the key element we are looking for: a highly engaged digital community.

When evaluating potential "participating stream partners," we focus on mature platforms with users that are both passionate, active and take day-to-day actions. We are not interested in dead channels or speculative hype. We are looking for projects that want to enhance their existing user Retention rate by providing users with a seamless channel into the broader Web3 rewards ecosystem. Whether users are predicting football games on Predictfully or exploring the AI-driven world in Astra Nova, our framework allows their original activities to be smoothly transformed into a unified reward process.

Predictfully early integration data showed a significant percentage increase in account number and activity. What is the basic total after a few weeks? Will this momentum be maintained beyond the initial release window?

David Lucatch:

The performance during the initial release window is indeed incredible, but what is even more exciting is that this momentum has matured into continued high-volume growth across the network.

这种势头不仅得到了维持，而且实现了大规模扩展。我们的整体生态系统现在拥有惊人的总用户数——目前已超过 24.8 万。最令人印象深刻的是参与的深度——近 90% 的用户已经领取了他们的动态灵魂绑定代币（DSBT），这意味着我们社区的绝大多数成员已经采取了步骤以完成全面入驻。这也不是被动的流量，日活用户超过 4 万。这种级别的参与度证明，我们的模型旨在避免传统 Web3 项目常见的发布后流失现象。

管道中是否还有其他您可以提及的“参与流合作伙伴”，即使是笼统地说？

David Lucatch：

是的，管道非常强劲。由于我们的基础设施具有高度适应性，我们正积极与多个不同垂直领域的平台进行洽谈。我暂时不能透露具体的品牌名称，但我可以告诉您，我们正在大力拓展数字媒体、互动娱乐和休闲移动游戏领域，甚至开始收到来自社交互动平台的浓厚兴趣，这些平台希望获得更高的参与度和经过验证的参与者。我们的目标锁定在那些每天拥有数百万次活跃触点的平台。

请一步步 walkthrough（演示）一下，当新参与者领取动态灵魂绑定代币时会发生什么。他们的活动如何转化为奖励积分，并最终变成稳定币支付？

David Lucatch：

The whole process is simple and completely gamistic for users:

The first step is to collect your digital passport. Users join our ecosystem or partner platform and receive customized Dynamic Soul Binding Tokens (DSBT). The token is non-transferable and serves as its permanent digital passport. Users then play games, make predictions or complete tasks, interacting with the ecosystem, nGRND and its brand partners. DSBT automatically tracks these activities across our partner network. These activities will generate reward points. Currently, this mechanism is operating on a large scale, with 173,030,129 points securely stored in user wallets, and another 14,272,500 recommended points paid to users who help expand the community.

Participants can pledge assets they acquire within the nGRND Gold Protocol. A user's specific reward level and points determine their share of the pledged reward pool, allowing them to directly convert their daily digital participation into regular, perceptible stablecoin allocations that are issued based on completing activities.

Looking into the next three to six months, what do you think will be the best sign that the "Participating Stream Partner" model is working as expected?

David Lucatch:

The ultimate success of our model will be measured through three aspects: participation in the nGRND brand and its upcoming real-world asset (RWA) token that represents "hedging gold," partner Retention rate, and organic cross-integration of ecosystems.

在三到六个月内，最明显的成功迹象将是看到最初通过 Predictfully 加入的用户，能够无缝地参与 Astra Nova 的活动，反之亦然，使用他们的 DSBT 作为单一、统一的价值钥匙。当我们的合作伙伴报告称，集成 nGRND 协议永久性地提高了他们自身的日活跃用户基数并降低了获客成本时，那就是胜利。我们希望向整个 Web3 行业证明，协作式、参与驱动的奖励创造了一种“水涨船高”的局面，抬高了所有生态系统的船只，同时支持 nGRND 保值黄金的发展。
