Overview
Claimpaign is a Cardano airdrop tool that lets event organizers hand out digital tokens through scannable QR codes. Attendees point a phone wallet at a printed or on-screen code and receive ADA, a token, or an NFT straight to their own wallet. Because people scan to claim rather than having tokens pushed to them, organizers pay only for the codes that someone actually redeems1.
The tool is built specifically for in-person moments on Cardano, the public blockchain it runs on, and it is offered to organizations rather than individual consumers. Behind the scenes it relies on an open Cardano standard called CIP-99, so the wallets that support that standard work with Claimpaign automatically, with no custom integration on the organizer's side2. The interface is available in English, German, Spanish, and Japanese.
Key Features
- Scan-to-claim QR codes. Recipients scan a code with a compatible wallet and the reward arrives in one on-chain transaction, with no app install or address collection beforehand3.
- Pay per redeemed code. A campaign can print a thousand codes, but the per-code service fee applies only to the ones people redeem, and unclaimed codes return their value to the organizer's prepaid balance when the campaign ends1.
- Choice of reward types. Organizers can give away ADA, fungible tokens, NFTs minted on demand, or a bundle that combines all three in a single claim4.
- Built on an open standard. Claimpaign is a working implementation of CIP-99, the Cardano standard for in-person token handouts, which means any CIP-99 wallet can read its codes5.
- Live claim tracking. A dashboard shows how many codes were generated versus claimed, the redemption rate, and the reasons any claims failed3.
What to Expect
Claimpaign targets a specific job: getting tokens into people's hands at conferences, meetups, and hackathons. Organizers set up a campaign, choose whether each code is single-use or a shared code shown on a screen, set limits such as one claim per wallet, and pick a claim deadline. Funds for a campaign come from a prepaid balance topped up with a wallet, and the platform sends the claim transactions on the organizer's behalf6.
For the person claiming, the experience is meant to be quick. Scanning works with wallets such as VESPR, Tokeo Pay, and Lace, and some of these let a first-time user skip writing down a recovery phrase on the spot, which helps newcomers claim at a crowded venue7. If a claim fails, the code is released so the recipient can try again. Pricing is published in the documentation, though the project notes those figures are preliminary, and the service is described as available to business customers only8.
