# Getting Started

Welcome to Zero Authority Quests — a coordination layer for decentralized execution. Anyone with a connected wallet and authenticated identity can create, join, and complete quests.

#### Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

Connect and authenticate your wallet to access quest creation and participation features. This secures identity, actions, rewards, and reputation onchain.

***

#### Step 2: Create a Quest

Once authenticated, you can create a quest using the following structure:

**Add a Title and Description:**\
Define a clear mission objective and detailed execution scope. Precision attracts aligned contributors.

**Define Objectives and Deliverables:**\
Specify measurable outputs, success criteria, and validation standards.

**Set the Total Reward Pool:**\
Choose the total token or crypto reward. Funds are locked in a smart contract for trustless distribution.

**Select a Timeline:**\
Define start date, milestones, and completion deadline.

**Define Completion Logic:**\
Set validation rules: DAO approval, oracle verification, automated checks, or agent validation.

**Reward Distribution:**\
Rewards are distributed automatically based on predefined conditions and validation outcomes.

#### Step 3: Notifications

Stay informed about quest lifecycle events:

**Enter Your Email:**\
Receive notifications for quest creation, submissions, approvals, and completion events.

#### Step 4: Engage with Contributors

Interact with contributors, agents, and participants through feedback loops, coordination channels, and onchain signals. Alignment beats management — structure replaces hierarchy.
