Overview
AdaLink is a free platform that helps Cardano projects reward content creators in ADA for results they bring in. A project sets up a campaign, a creator shares a tracking link with their audience, and the creator gets paid in ADA when the action happens. The actions can be things like a token purchase made through a token campaign or a tip sent to a creator. Campaigns that reward delegation to a stake pool (choosing a pool to back with your ADA, which stays in your wallet) are marked as coming soon1.
The platform works for token issuers and any Cardano project that wants creator-driven promotion tied to real outcomes. Every reward arrives as ADA, so creators do not have to claim, swap, or hold a separate platform token to access what they earned2.
AdaLink is run by the team behind Frenchies Club, a Cardano NFT community focused on Web3 marketing and content creation. The platform is built on Cardano. AdaLink checks the resulting on-chain activity and rewards creators in ADA2.
Key Features
- Get paid in ADA, not a platform token. Rewards are paid in ADA after AdaLink verifies the tracked on-chain activity. There is no separate utility token to claim, swap, or hold before you can spend what you earned2.
- Token campaigns and creator tips. Projects can run token promotion campaigns3, and anyone can tip creators in ADA4. Stake-pool delegation drives1 and affiliate-program listings5 are marked as coming soon. Creators track performance through their dashboards6.
- Tracked, verified results. AdaLink tracks the conversions each affiliate link drives and distributes the rewards7. Each creator's public profile shows the tips received and the transactions generated4.
- Built around content creators. The Frenchies Club community runs workshops, sponsorships, and monetization paths for creators. AdaLink sits inside that existing creator network rather than starting from a cold audience2.
- Docs and roadmap on GitBook. Documentation and the Frenchies Club roadmap live on GitBook, a hosted docs site7. The AdaLink GitHub organisation holds a project presentation and a research paper on stake-pool pledge8.
What to Expect
A project starting a token campaign sets the reward and publishes a listing. Creators browse the open campaigns on the token campaigns page, pick the ones that fit their audience, and share a unique tracking link in posts, livestreams, or videos.
When AdaLink verifies a tracked action, it credits the creator and sends an ADA payout. The Knowledge Base on the site walks new creators and projects through the setup, and short tutorial videos cover the same ground for people who would rather watch than read6.
The community side leans on Frenchies Club and channels on Discord and X for support and announcements. AdaLink has received funding from Project Catalyst, the community-led funding program for Cardano projects, for earlier milestones. Its Fund 11 proposal, an affiliate network for stake-pool operators, is marked complete on Catalyst9, as is its Fund 12 proposal for a Cardano ad campaign10.
