The Dota Super Chain has completed most of the code, developed by community contributors, and will be merged soon. The dairdrop is currently being prepared for development. Once the dairdrop development is completed, we will merge it into the Dota Super Chain, and the Dota community will use dairdrop to launch the 2.0 network.

Our original plan for the Dota community was to develop an EVM-compatible chain with NPOS, but there were no existing technology templates, and development would take time(even though we already have very experienced Substrate developers). Fortunately, Chainsupport reached out to us, offering to contribute code for this purpose, as they are collaborating with several different teams that have similar needs. They are currently focused on developing the public part of the code and expect to complete it within a month. After that, we will use their template to develop the Dota 2.0 network. Additionally, with the support of our community developers, we will be able to help them solve any technical challenges they encounter during the development process, as we have more experience with Substrate technology.

Where can I see these contributions of yours that involve parachains or substrate development? On your github I only found your work on the dota indexer.

In the past few years (from 2019 to the present), I have primarily developed in an anonymous state due to privacy concerns. I was previously employed by several parachain teams and was a core development member for them. If you're interested, we can discuss this privately.

what is the backend? I suppose the substrate pallet and the ink implementation serve directly as the backend.

On-chain storage primarily contains the final state and completed Merkle proof verification. We need to provide an off-chain backend that allows users to obtain their Merkle proofs, submit transactions to claim airdrops, and access more information about the airdrop, such as progress, the number of participants, and which users have not yet participated. Additionally, anyone should be able to claim airdrops for others.

Yes, considering the PC app, I developed it as part of the public section. The web server simply calls the APIs it needs from there.

I'd suggest to only developing a web-app. I don't see people being interested in this if they can get the same functionality from a web-app. I'd remove this deliverable unless you know that there is demand for this.

I agree with it, as it allows us to focus on providing users with richer features and a friendlier experience. However, user habits can vary. For developers, it's relatively easy to start a web service using Docker, but for regular users, this can introduce technical and learning costs. Therefore, I hope that while we develop the web application, we can also provide PC application.

Can you re-write the features section so that this application only contains the web-service?

Thank you for your suggestion. it will save us development time. We will provide more rich and user-friendly features. If the community needs a PC app in the future, we will try to get funding support from the treasury or include it in the third milestone. update as soon as possible.

To what granularity will the merkle tree resolve? To each individual address? To a group of addresses which will always be claimed together? I'd love to hear more about the strategy. Have you conducted any research up to which address amount your solution is able to scale?

We will provide a complete Merkle tree for each airdrop event, which includes the airdrop information for every user and is stored in the backend. This will support up to 2^160 addresses.

If you are storing all the addresses individually why do you need the merkle tree at all? Still do you have a more in depth design doc to share about your concept? I'd appreciate it.

You can think of each airdrop event as a Merkle tree, where each person's airdrop information is stored in the leaves. They will receive their Merkle proof from here and then submit it to the chain for verification to obtain their airdrop amount.

This is very flexible and scalable. By adding some information to each recipient's airdrop data, we can create conditional claims for everyone, which can be applied in gaming and social applications.

How will this work? Is the airdrop owned so that an account can decide on cancelling the airdrop at an arbitrary point in time?

When users want to create an airdrop for the community, they will register the airdrop information on-chain, including the block height at which the airdrop will occur, the root hash of the Merkle tree, the end time of the airdrop, and more. They will also need to reserve their balances to ensure that everyone can claim the airdrop. Additionally, they can terminate the airdrop activity at any time. This ensures flexibility for the airdrop.

Why does the airdrop creator need to reserve any balances?

Why does the airdrop creator need to reserve any balances?
The airdrop creator reserve the airdrop total amount in dairdrop pallet to ensure that users can receive funds after their airdrop proof is verified. This is because the funds come from the airdrop creator. This ensures that the airdrop creator does not must to distribute the airdrop to each user individually. Anyone can claim the airdrop on behalf of any user, as long as they can provide the recipient's Merkle proof.
Thank you very much for your outstanding work and responses. I'm very happy that we can discuss this application together. |

@PieWol, Thank you very much for your suggestions. I've updated the application accordingly. Regarding the desktop app issue, I agree that we should remove it, allowing us more time to focus on UX optimization and creating a product that is very user-friendly. However, our team is considering that community users are often non-technical and have diverse airdrop needs. Some may not want to provide a remote web service or might not know how to run a local program using Docker, which could impact community engagement and growth. If you have better suggestions, we are open to them. Our goal is to create an airdrop application that can be used in all scenarios. |

Hey @jyaymusk |
Thank you very much for your professionalism and patience. I hope my response addresses your questions. |
I will update the application in a few days. |

Thank you very much for this proposal! A decentralized airdrop application is exactly what the Polkadot ecosystem needs, and at AIWeb3, we've been eagerly awaiting something like this for a long time. Do you think it could be integrated directly into our website? And when might this application be ready for use? Looking forward to seeing this in action! |
@idfree We hope to have it ready for use right after the launch of the Dota 2.0 network, which will still take about a month of development time. I'm very pleased that we share this common need, as it allows us to maintain it together in the future. Such an airdrop application will be very useful for community events, and in the future, we will only need to add a small code to create some gaming applications on Telegram or the web. If you have any better ideas, we can also consider adding more features. We envision that in the future, Polkadot airdrop creators will only need to select the network and connect their wallets on our webpage, and then simply click the Assets icon to quickly create or claim their airdrops. Imagine being able to create an airdrop for any Telegram or Discord group with just a click on a webpage. Isn't that cool? |
Project Abstract
Decentralized airdrop application that does not must require a centralized server, and it can also create some community interaction games based on it. Based on this project, the community will explore more airdrop strategies within the Polkadot ecosystem and continuously improve the user experience in airdrops.
