Product & Architecture

Dropzey is an innovative airdrop management platform that leverages the power of Stellar and Soroban Smart Contracts to streamline airdrop creation, enforce eligibility criteria, verify engagement actions, and automate token return, revolutionizing the way project creators and participants interact with airdrops.

Problems Dropzey Solves:

Airdrop Participants Eligibility and Verification Complexity: Dropzey ensures that only genuine individuals can participate in airdrops by verifying their phone numbers. To prevent fraudulent activities, Dropzey mandates users to link their social media accounts before joining.

Enhancing Token Utility and Transparency: Dropzey ensures comprehensive transparency by enabling airdrop creators to provide extensive project details, including social media profiles, websites, introductory videos, and other project-specific information. This transparency enables participants to assess the project's value and relevance, thereby increasing engagement and participation.

Automated Token Distribution: By leveraging the capabilities of Stellar and Soroban, Dropzey automates the airdrop reward tokens distribution process. Upon meeting airdrop requirements, participants receive their rewards instantly from the stellar wallet (escrow account), eliminating the need for manual airdrop reward tokens distribution by creators. This streamlined process reduces errors and delays, offering a seamless experience for participants.

Addressing Airdrop Marketing and Promotion Challenges: As a centralized hub for cryptocurrency project airdrops, Dropzey provides an efficient platform for creators to promote their airdrop campaigns. This centralized space increases visibility and engagement, enabling projects to reach a broader and more engaged audience within the competitive cryptocurrency industry. By leveraging Dropzey's platform, crypto project owners gain a strategic advantage in promoting their initiatives. They can effectively showcase their airdrop campaigns to a targeted audience, ensuring greater exposure and engagement.

How does Soroban work with Dropzey?

Imagine airdrops flowing smoothly, securely, and efficiently. That's the magic of Dropzey, Soroban, and Stellar working in harmony. Let's dive into how these technologies orchestrate a flawless airdrop symphony

Deposit XLM and Airdrop Reward Tokens (Milestone achieve in activation award): When a user creates an airdrop, a Soroban smart contract will initiate and a stellar wallet (escrow account) will be designated

Establish Trustline (Milestone achieve in activation award): The smart contract will initiate a transaction to establish the trustline in the Stellar wallet(escrow account) before depositing airdrop reward tokens in it.

Define Airdrop Eligibility and Requirements (Milestone achieve in activation award): The Soroban smart contract will clearly state who can join the airdrop and what they need to do. It will list the specific things participants must do to claim airdrop reward tokens.

Determine Individual Rewards: The amount of reward each participant receives, as entered by the user in the form, will be set in the Soroban smart contract.

Distribution of Rewards: Participants visiting the airdrop page will first create a trustline for the reward token. After completing the airdrop steps and meeting eligibility criteria, they click the claim reward button. The Soroban smart contract then calculates and allocates the reward, transferring the tokens instantly to their Stellar wallet addresses.

Returning Remaining XLM and Tokens: When the airdrop ends, the smart contract will initiate and any remaining XLM or airdrop reward tokens in the stellar wallet (escrow account) will return to the initial stellar wallet address (the Airdrop creator's wallet address) from which the stellar wallet (escrow account) initially received these assets through payment operation.

How Dropzey is going to help the Stellar Blockchain community?

Automated Airdrop Distribution:

Current Gap: There is no automated airdrop distribution platform on the Stellar blockchain.

Dropzey Solution: Automates the entire airdrop process, ensuring accurate, secure, and instant token distribution.

Simplified Verification Process:

Current Issue: Verifying participant eligibility manually is inefficient and error-prone.

Dropzey Solution: Automates eligibility checks based on predefined criteria, reducing fraudulent entries.

Real-Time Rewards:

Current Problem: Manual distribution of rewards can lead to delays.

Dropzey Solution: Instantly distributes rewards upon meeting airdrop requirements, enhancing user satisfaction.

Transparency and Trust:

Current Challenge: Lack of transparency in manual processes.

Dropzey Solution: Provides transparent airdrop processes, building trust within the community.
