Overview
Airdrop Acres is a Web3 rewards platform where users earn cryptocurrency by completing on-chain and social tasks. People connect a wallet, work through reward campaigns, and claim their earnings directly, without creating a traditional account. It serves crypto communities and token projects that want to distribute rewards to real, verified participants.
The Problem
Traditional reward and airdrop programs lean on email signups and manual eligibility checks that are slow, easy to game, and disconnected from the wallets that actually receive funds. Airdrop Acres ties task completion, eligibility, and payout to a user's connected wallet so campaigns run and settle without a separate account layer.
Key Features
- Wallet-based authentication — users authenticate by connecting a crypto wallet, removing the need for email-and-password signup while tying identity directly to the address that receives rewards.
- On-chain and social tasks — reward campaigns are built from a mix of on-chain actions and social tasks that users complete to become eligible for earnings.
- Eligibility checks — each campaign runs eligibility checks against completed tasks before a participant can claim, ensuring only qualifying wallets receive rewards.
- Claim flows — verified participants move through a guided claim flow to collect their cryptocurrency earnings once a campaign's requirements are met.
- Reward distribution module — a dedicated fund and token module handles the mechanics of distributing rewards to eligible wallets, kept separate from the core application logic.
- High-traffic reward windows — Redis-backed session and rate-limit state keeps campaigns responsive and fair during peak reward windows when many users claim at once.
How It's Built
The platform is split into a Next.js frontend, a Node.js backend API, and a dedicated fund and token module that handles reward distribution. Campaigns, eligibility checks, and claim flows are persisted in PostgreSQL, while Redis backs session and rate-limit state to keep high-traffic reward windows stable. Separating payout logic into its own module keeps distribution concerns isolated from the application API and user-facing flows.
