ENGAGE IO vs Arcane for Web3
A typical web3 setup runs 5 servers. Free tier; Premium priced in tiers, see arcane.bot/premium for current figures
The gap that matters for web3 servers
A protocol running five servers, main, governance, developers, regional, and contributors, needs different reward rules per server and on-chain role assignment. Arcane gives you deep XP tuning inside one server and no wallet verification, no quest engine, and no public API, so contributor programmes and governance participation stay unmeasured while message counts get measured very precisely.
What Arcane costs at web3 scale
Premium is per server and activated by inviting the premium bot to each one, and Arcane publishes no table, so a five-server protocol is quoting five activations at an unpublished rate. Compare that with a governance incentive budget that still needs a separate wallet-verification and quest tool on top, and Arcane becomes an add-on rather than the stack.
Setup and migration for a web3 server
If Arcane stays anywhere, put it on the main community server where chat volume is the point, and keep governance and contributor servers on wallet-gated roles. Arcane has no public API, so participation data for grant reporting has to be exported by hand from the dashboard.
The switching mistake web3 servers make
XP-based roles carry no ownership meaning, so a Web3 server migrating from a leveling setup has to decide what the old roles now signify. Retiring them and starting from wallet-verified tiers is cleaner than trying to map an activity ladder onto a holder hierarchy.
| Free-tier cap at this scale | Total available |
|---|---|
| Role rewards (total) across 5 web3 servers | 75 (15 per server) |
| Role rewards per level across 5 web3 servers | 5 (1 per server) |
| Custom commands across 5 web3 servers | 25 (5 per server) |
| Reaction roles across 5 web3 servers | 50 (10 per server) |
Arcane publishes no flat premium figure, so premium cost at 5 servers cannot be stated.
| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Legacy XP roles | Retired, not mapped to holder tiers |
| New tiers | 3, wallet-verified, re-checked daily |
| Overlap period | 7 days |
FAQ
Can Arcane gate DAO governance channels by token holdings?▼
No. Arcane offers no wallet linking or holder verification, so voting-weight roles cannot be derived from on-chain balances. ENGAGE IO assigns roles from wallet ownership, which is the mechanism a governance server needs before it can restrict a proposal channel honestly.
Does Arcane have an API for contributor reporting?▼
No public API is documented, so a five-server protocol reporting on incentive spend has to export leaderboards manually per server. ENGAGE IO exposes campaign analytics per quest, which is what a grant review actually asks for.
Includes a 2-week premium trial when you add the bot.
