Are you ready to onboard new users? Try out the NEARDROP app here

NEARDROP 1.0 features
The non-custodial NEADROP app allows no-coders to mass-generate onboarding links with native NEAR. The main features and improvements over earlier versions of claim links / Linkdrop on NEAR can be summarised as:

• Scalable: Generate up to 10k links per campaign
• Cheaper: Remove the 1 NEAR fee per link
• Recoverable: All your campaigns are bonded to your NEARDROP account, which is connected to your wallet account - you can easily log in on a new device, and you will be able to manage your campaigns without adding them manually to the local storage.
• Non-custodial: Nobody other than the wallet & NEARDROP seed key holder has access to linkdrops generated

Do you have any other feature requests? Please let us know in our community chat

The NEARDROP factory
The backend of NEARDROP is implemented as 3 different smart-contract types on the NEAR blockchain.

• Linkdrop - a root contract of the app and the entry point for new users. This contract creates a new user account and deploys a user contract code to it.
• User - this is a contract that allows a user to create new campaigns. This account is bounded with the user Wallet account, which means if the Wallet account id is bob.testnet his Linkdrop account id will be bob.linkdrop.testnet
• Campaign - it’s a contract that an end user will interact with (using a link). Right now we have only one type of the campaign - NEAR campaign, but it will be possible to add new campaign types such as NFT, NFT-FT, NFT-NEAR etc.

Wanna learn more? Check out the open-source code on Github, we are always open for new contributors & integrations.

Early use-cases of NEARDROP
So far NEARDROP has been introduced at physical events and virtually on a variety of platforms. These examples from very early use cases are just indications of the potential of use. We plan to integrate NEARDROP on a much larger scale and to expand the concept with time.

Physical items
Upon entering the venue, every NEARCON Alpha participant received a physical NEARDROP. These can be printed as QR codes into magazines, clothing or to basically anything you can imagine.

Virtual campaigns
Another option to make large-scale distribution possible is to launch Linkdrop campaigns tapping into “traditional” online distribution channels such as social media, newsletter tools, or Telegram / Discord channels. This picture exemplifies how NEARDROP campaigns can be automated on Twitter, check an example Paras did here.

Looks awesome, hyped to see more NEAR drops out in the real world

Who love drops?

Me…

this is exciting! Anxious to use it

I’d love to see NFT airdrops sooon tooooo

The Decentralized Brewing Co https://twitter.com/dbrewco would love to brew some beer and put a NEARDROP QR code on every can. IMO this would make a great mail out to key influencers for Christmas…

@Gus dm me if interested

so exciting with Neardrop

Would be interesting indeed… This might happen soon Do you have any interest in commenting on the mockups and beta test it?

Sure will do, great use-case thanks for bringing this up, keep em coming

NEARDROP loves anhtn512 toooo

@Gus Hello!!

NFTs and NEP token drops through QR codes is someting I have been eagerly waiting for. I have 3 ideas and a proof of concept on how to use them at scale to drive engagement towards initiatives in the ecosystem. One being NEARWEEK, second NEAR Hub and third DragoNEAR. I am closely involved in these initiatives and would love to explore how we can use NEARDROP as a powerful tool for community engagement. How do I get in touch?

Please feel free to send me a hello on t.me/chronear and let’s discuss

Hi
When you set up an account, there is a wallet request for 5N…Is that for storage?..or to gift to new accounts?
Didn’t see an explanation for it in the text…apologies if i missed it…
thnx

Similar to mintbase and astrodao this new version of linkdrop is a smart contract factory. The 5N is the setup/storage cost and you provide more NEAR after that for each of the drops you create.

Wow, super exciting!
I know lots of people are waiting for NFT drops.

I’d love to test, give feedback, or whatever I can help with

I was wondering too about the 5 NEAR, very cool that’s for the storage for our own contract

Later when you do the drop campaign it explains better the further charges per campaign: “Operation reserve (gas price, campaign storage etc)”

Would be good to have a small text explaining the 5N deployment fee.

Hi @starpause - perfect answer thnx…as expected

Nice approach of scalability with the NFTs.
In case the team is looking to get connected with the community of NFT Artists, connect with @naveen_in from NEAR NFT Club.

I love Neardrop !!!

wow how nice about this project!!

I will try to learn

NEARDROP loves you too

Awesome reached out now via TG to you

Hi @Gus

How is the NFT capability of neardrop coming along? I just checked out the https://testnet.app.neardrop.io/ website but seems like that is not the place to test it, can you point me in the right direction? I would really love to try it out in its current state. Also let me know if you’re looking for any specific feedback.

Thanks and looking forward!

Hey @lenara, nice to hear from you You can try out the testnet version now here

NEARDROP - the easiest way to onboard new users to the NEARverse

The non-custodial app allows no-coders to setup token-based marketing campaigns and onboard new users

There’s alot of stuff that can break it right now if you go back and forth, so we’re still a bit away from full mainnet production launch.

HI @Gus, I saw the product and I love it.
In our upcoming NEAR Malaysia Guild’s physical events, we expect to welcome a lot of beginners (either to crypto in general or to Near Protocol in particular), so NEARDROP would be the perfect onboarding tool for them to create a wallet.

A question for you: could NEARDROP have an easy way to do the first 0.1 NEAR transaction to set up the wallet?

e.g myself as the Guild admin to be dropping that 0.1 NEAR to each of the new wallets created in the event in an easy way?

Cheers.

Thanks for the link!

I tested a bit with my account lenara.testnet

Minted and bought some testnet NFTs at Mintbase and Paras, but the tx to transfer them to my campaign kept failing.

I will try again next week.

Good luck with the project! I think it will be super useful when it’s launched.

Hi @Gus just pinging to see how the NFT drops are going? I tried the testnet link you gave me above, and the nft_transfer_call tx failed. Maybe you have a new testnet app link to give me?

This idea is such a great contribution to the ecosystem, I hope the project continues to be developed.

Hey Lenara, sorry I cant provide an update on the progress as https://neardrop.io/ is not longer being developed by the team DEV LABS i’m part of. It’s currently being developed by Pagoda.

Thanks for the update!

@chloe who can I ping at Pagoda? I would really love to test this. Any connections appreciated
