American business magazine Forbes has tapped blockchain startup Galxe to dive deep into the web3 market with its new venture. 
According to a <a href="https://blog.galxe.com/forbes-joins-galxe-to-build-onchain-loyalty-program-89d4a2fecfb1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blog announcement</a> on Medium, Galxe has developed a series of social tasks designed to “enhance user engagement” with Forbes’ new venture dubbed ForbesWeb3, while demonstrating the “practical applications of blockchain.” 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “As users progress through these tasks, they have a chance to score points and climb up in the leaderboard that not only tracks progress but also fosters community.”

Forbes says the campaign’s reward structure is “carefully curated to provide tangible value to the participants,” adding that the most active participants will get rewards, such as complimentary Forbes subscriptions and brand merchandise. 
The launch of a new venture doesn’t mean Forbes is abandoning its crypto arm, focused on covering digital assets and blockchain.
