The Rootstock Genesis Countdown kicks off on October 30 — with a whole host of new partners, quests and rewards to discover.

It's a new campaign that comes hot on the heels of the Rootstock World Tour, which gave users the opportunity to explore just some of the dApps within the ecosystem.

From October 30 to January 3, you'll have the chance to take part in 16 quests that showcase diverse use cases within Bitcoin's oldest and biggest sidechain.

Successfully completing all the tasks of each quest will unlock a Christmas present, with a total of $1,000 to be distributed among 1,000 winners. Each quest will have its own raffle.

A $5,000 raffle will also be triggered for quests that attract more than 10,000 participants — giving five lucky winners the chance to win $1,000 each.

An additional $10,000 prize will be reserved for those who complete all 16 quests, with $2,000 going to 5 competitors selected in a random draw.
