CandyBomb Airdrop Design: Trading Tickets, Referrals, and Vesting
Summary
This document outlines an exchange-run airdrop campaign for Degis (DEG), a project described as an Avalanche-based insurance tool for DeFi and NFT markets. It explains three reward pools: tickets earned from spot trading volume, tickets earned through successful referrals, and a Sunshine Pool shared among holders of non-winning tickets. Ticket counts rise across specified activity tiers, with caps on tickets and individual rewards. The campaign also states DEG’s token allocation and gives a staged release schedule for most pool rewards.
These mechanics illustrate how an exchange can tie token distributions to trading, referrals, lottery odds, and vesting. The stated purpose of staged distribution is to limit dumping and price manipulation, but the document supplies no outcome data showing whether this worked. It is promotional event material, and its dated rules, token claims, and project descriptions are not independently assessed. Trading to earn tickets can also create market costs and exposure that the document does not quantify.
Key ideas
- The campaign allocates rewards across trading, referral, and non-winning-ticket pools.
- Trading volume and qualifying referrals determine ticket tiers, subject to per-user limits.
- Non-winning tickets can qualify for a capped share of the Sunshine Pool.
- Most rewards are released in batches over time, while the Sunshine Pool is distributed at once.
- The document describes campaign rules but gives no evidence about outcomes or the effectiveness of vesting.
