Project Name: DropZone
Project Track: DeFi
Team Name: MerkleBlock
Team Member(s): @Adrian1
DevPost Project Link: Link
Project Goal: The primary objective of DropZone is to create a decentralized platform where users, protocols, and organizations can easily launch airdrop campaigns to reward their communities. By enabling a straightforward upload of a JSON file containing user addresses and respective token amounts, we aim to streamline the airdrop process, ensuring that it is efficient, transparent, and secure.

DropZone addresses key challenges in token distribution by providing a one-stop, decentralized application where users can claim tokens from multiple campaigns in one location. Our unique selling proposition is the integration of decentralized notifications, allowing users to stay informed about the airdrops they are eligible to claim without relying on centralized servers.

Project Value: Implementing DropZone offers several key advantages, including:

  • :gift: Decentralized Campaign Creation: Users can create airdrop campaigns directly on the blockchain without intermediaries, ensuring complete control over their distributions.
  • :bell: Real-Time Notifications: Users receive decentralized updates about new airdrop campaigns and their claim status.
  • :star: Decentralized Claiming: Users can claim tokens from various campaigns in one decentralized location.
  • :lock: Secure Transactions: All airdrop distributions are conducted on-chain, providing enhanced security and transparency.
  • :hammer_and_wrench: One stop solution to claim tokens: user can claim all their received airdrop tokens at dropzone and collect them all from one place.
  • :rocket: Easy to create and manage airdrops: With dropzone anyone can create and easily manage their campaign with great user experience.

Welcome to the Hackathon of season 7, I read your project and I must confess I really like good airdrop, so please tell me because I will like to know as you’re project will be going from the testnet to the mainnet how are you going to handle the increase in demand, thank you

Thank you for your interest! As we transition from testnet to mainnet, we’re fully prepared to scale with increased demand by leveraging the high throughput of the BTTC (BitTorrent Chain). Our platform is built to handle large volumes of airdrop campaigns efficiently, ensuring smooth user experience even as activity increases. We will continuously optimize smart contracts and infrastructure to meet the growing needs of our users.

Welcome to Hackathon Season 7, airdrops are always an interesting concept.
Are there plans to introduce customizable airdrop conditions, such as requiring users to hold tokens for a set period or complete specific tasks before claiming the airdrop?

Welcome to hackathon season 7
Offering an airdrop platform for projects to grow and reward their community is innovative.

Just as on-chain transaction requires transaction cost, are there any fees required by users when conducting airdrop in your platform?

Thankyou for your warm welcome, yeah airdrops have always been an interesting topic. So about your question our initial thought was that only to add conditional airdrops like follows and likes.

So this is how it will go:

Let’s say an organisation wants to create an airdrop , so they can simply just post their requirements of condition and time period. So whenever the time period is over, the merkle root will be created with the users which has the passed those conditions and the root will be created and updated in the contract, so then those users can go and claim the token.

Although adding conditions is yet to be added but coming really really soon. So stay tuned! :grinning:

Thank you so much for support @Chukseucharia

Yes, users will need to claim their tokens, which will incur gas fees when they interact with the blockchain. However, there are no additional costs or fees associated with the airdrop itself at this time. We will never ask for fees from the user side! If any business model has to be added, fees will be taken from the organization’s side. We aim to keep the process as seamless and cost-effective as possible for our users!

Thank you for your question! @Prince-Onscolo

Our project differentiates itself by focusing on a decentralized approach, allowing users to create customizable airdrop conditions through a Merkle tree system. This ensures a secure and transparent way to distribute tokens based on specific criteria, which is not commonly offered by other platforms. Additionally, our user-friendly interface and support for batch claims streamline the process for both organizations and recipients, setting us apart in the airdrop space.

How does DropZone secure airdrops and prevent errors? How do decentralized notifications keep users informed?

Ok, have you considered any plan to make sure that users don’t have to pay more energy in claiming their airdrops than the airdrop they are claiming. Example is there a minimum amount to how much an organization will offer in their airdrops?

This is a promising addition to your platform, as conditional airdrops based on user actions are becoming a popular way for organizations to engage communities and filter for active participants.
How do you plan to verify that users have met the required conditions (such as follows or likes) before creating the Merkle root?
