How Plena Finance Saved 2 Months of Development Time with Domino

Yajash Jhamb, the CTO of Plena Finance shared insights on how Domino helped streamline their quest platform and user onboarding process.

The Challenge: Building a Quest Platform

Plena Finance wanted to convert their social media followers into active app users. They decided to build an in-app quest platform to gamify the experience.

“We wanted to gamify our application for the users,” Yajash explained. “That’s why we built a quest platform.”

But creating this platform posed challenges. They needed to verify user actions across social media and blockchain networks.

Enter Domino

Plena initially considered building everything in-house. They spent weeks testing Twitter APIs, facing rate limits and integration hurdles.

“It took us around a week or two for testing the APIs only,” Yajash recalled. “That’s one of the challenges we faced with Twitter.”

Then they discovered Domino. Our platform offered ready-to-use automations for social media verifications and more.

The Results

Time Saved: 1–2 Months “It has saved us a tremendous amount of time,” Yajash said. “If we were planning to do this on our own servers, it would have taken another month or two months of time.

User Growth: 20–30% Increase “We have seen an increase in the number of active users on our application,” Yajash noted. “It’s mostly because of the quest platform.”

Improved Team Productivity “It has improved metrics for the app as well,” Yajash added. “We are getting a lot of users to our quest platform, and it’s possible because we are using quests verified by Domino to help us get users from social to our application.”

Why Domino Works for Plena

• Fast Verification “The response time and the time it takes to verify the social quest step — it’s really fast,” Yajash said. “It takes around one and a half seconds.”
• Reliability Yajash compared Domino to other solutions: “We have compared it with other platforms as well, and those are really slow and most of them don’t work properly.”
• Comprehensive Support Domino handles verifications across multiple platforms. “You guys help us with support for all the other social platforms,” Yajash noted.
• Cost-Effective “It saves us a lot of time and cost as well,” Yajash explained. “Twitter APIs are also expensive.”

Advice for Others

I asked Yajash what he’d tell others considering Domino. His response:

“If someone is planning to build a platform for quest services, it’s better to use Domino for that and outsource quest verifications because it saves a lot of time and cost. It’s better to use Domino for that. It saves a lot of development time.”

Looking Ahead

Plena Finance continues to grow its quest platform with Domino’s support. They’re exploring new social networks and considering on-chain verifications.

For startups and established companies alike, Domino offers a way to quickly implement user engagement features without the overhead of building everything from scratch.
