Which decisions belong in the airdrop brief?
A one-page brief should connect the distribution to a specific project decision. Record the intended recipient group, the project need, the approved token scope, and the outcome the team will review. Promotion tasks come later. This order keeps campaign activity tied to a purpose the team can explain.
Build the brief from 4 inputs:
- Project stage and the need this distribution addresses.
- Recipient profile, including why that group is relevant.
- Allocation scope and the person authorized to approve changes.
- Evidence that will show whether the stated objective was served.
Separate awareness from distribution outcomes. Announcement reach can describe exposure. Claims, eligible participation, or relevant product activity can describe other parts of the plan. Do not treat one measure as a substitute for another.
Ask product, token, and community owners to review the same draft. Resolve conflicting assumptions before public copy is prepared. If the distribution sits inside a wider release, align it with the token launch checklist. For operational support, compare your team’s needs with airdrop campaign management. Write down the decision owner and the version approved. That record gives later reviewers a stable reference.
What should an eligibility record contain?
A sample eligibility record shows whether the rules can be applied consistently. Define the qualifying action, relevant period, accepted evidence, exclusions, cutoff, and appeal route before opening participation. Each criterion should have a clear connection to the recipient group in the brief.
Use evidence that fits the objective. A product interaction may be suitable for a product-use distribution. A contribution may need review by a named team member. A community activity needs a defined record and period. When criteria combine, state whether participants must meet all conditions or any one condition.
Test the draft against 4 cases: a clear match, a borderline record, incomplete evidence, and an apparent duplicate. Write down the outcome for each. Then ask a reviewer outside the drafting group to apply the rules without coaching. If reviewers reach different decisions, revise the wording before publishing.
Keep a correction route visible. Tell participants what information to provide and where to send it. Give reviewers a cutoff for resolving cases. Moderators should not invent eligibility policy in public conversations. A separate community engagement plan can support participation, but it should not replace the published criteria or review process.
How can a team review duplicate participation?
A review log lets the team compare evidence without treating a wallet address as a complete identity record. Choose signals that match the eligibility rule, document how reviewers use them, and create a route for participants to contest an exclusion. The aim is consistent review, not a claim of perfect identity detection.
Before launch, write a short screening protocol. It should identify:
- The records reviewers may compare.
- The patterns that trigger a closer look.
- Who can approve an exclusion.
- What evidence supports a correction or appeal.
Apply the same protocol to every case in scope. Keep the reason for a decision beside the reviewed record. Limit access to participant information to people who need it for eligibility or support. This gives the team an audit trail while reducing improvised decisions.
A wallet can show activity associated with an address. It cannot establish that each address belongs to a different person. Explain this limitation in the campaign terms, and allow users to report a mistaken decision. Avoid screening rules that participants cannot understand or that reviewers cannot apply consistently. Review the final wording with the person responsible for participant support before it goes public.
How should allocation records connect to claims?
A reconciliation sheet connects each approved eligibility decision to an allocation and claim status. Start with the amount assigned to the campaign. Then document the calculation method, any cap, and the treatment of allocations that remain unclaimed.
Choose a model the team can explain plainly. A fixed allocation gives each eligible record the same amount. A tiered model distinguishes contribution levels and needs consistent evidence for each tier. A proportional model follows defined inputs and may need a cap. Before choosing, confirm that the evidence available supports the model.
Use one row per eligible record. Include these 4 fields: eligibility basis, allocation, review status, and claim status. Have a second reviewer compare the total with the approved campaign pool. Test a duplicate record, an ineligible record, and an unclaimed allocation before final approval. Preserve a note of every change between the reviewed model and the final file.
Decide whether recipients use a project-controlled claim page or receive a direct distribution. Write instructions for the selected route. Have someone who did not build the flow follow them from start to finish. Keep community activation separate from allocation logic. The community growth and engagement hub covers a related audience objective, not recipient selection.
What must participants know before claiming?
A single approved instruction set should answer the participant’s practical questions. Publish the terms before promotion, then use the same core wording on the project website and official community channels. Version the copy so the team can identify which instructions were live at each stage.
Cover these 5 points in the announcement:
- Who may qualify and which actions count.
- What evidence the team reviews.
- When corrections close and where to request one.
- How the claim works and where official updates appear.
- Which support route handles account-specific issues.
Name the official website and claim route. Explain any wallet connection or transaction in accessible terms. State that project representatives will not request a seed phrase or private key. Give moderators approved answers and an escalation owner. Do not ask participants to post private details in public channels.
If Telegram is the primary support venue, assign channel ownership before the announcement. The Telegram community guide can help with channel planning. If creators will share the campaign, provide one approved brief and tracking links. Coordinate the message with a crypto KOL campaign, and require every version to match the published eligibility terms.
Which sequence keeps distribution decisions traceable?
Five checkpoints keep the work in order: approved brief, tested eligibility, reconciled allocation, prepared claim route, and post-claim review. Assign an owner to each checkpoint. Move forward only when the named output is ready for review.
| Checkpoint | Record to prepare | Review before moving on |
|---|---|---|
| Brief | Objective, recipient group, owners | Project teams agree on the same purpose |
| Eligibility | Criteria, evidence, correction route | Sample cases receive consistent decisions |
| Allocation | Approved model and recipient file | A second reviewer checks the total |
| Claim | Instructions and support responses | A new reviewer can follow the published flow |
| Follow-up | Claims, support themes, open issues | Each unresolved item has an owner |
The calendar follows the readiness of participation records, the distribution method, and available reviewers. Put time aside for edge cases before promotion begins. Do not set a public opening date while the eligibility text or claim path is still changing.
After distribution, compare observed claims and relevant follow-on activity with the original objective. Keep support themes separate from announcement reach. Record what the team could review, what remains open, and which instruction needs revision. For ongoing campaign planning, use the Blog as a starting point for related guides.
What can wallet review establish before distribution?
The eligibility file and transaction records provide different evidence. A reviewed file shows how the team applied its stated criteria. On-chain activity can show transfers and activity associated with addresses. Neither should be presented as evidence beyond what it records.
On-chain activity does not prove that each address represents a distinct person. A confirmed transfer may not be reversible through the same distribution route. State these points in participant terms before claims open, and ask the technical owner to check the exact claim steps and user-facing information.
Use a final review sheet before approval. Confirm that the terms match the allocation model, each exclusion has a documented reason, and support owners know where to escalate cases. Check that the published route matches the tested route. Keep a copy of the approved terms and recipient file for later review.

How it works
- Write the distribution briefRecord the project need, intended recipient group, approved scope, and review measure. Confirm that project owners agree on the same objective.
- Test eligibility criteriaDefine qualifying actions, evidence, exclusions, cutoff, and appeal route. Apply the rules to sample cases before publishing.
- Reconcile the allocationApply the approved model to eligible records. Ask a second reviewer to check the total and test edge cases.
- Prepare the claim routeVerify the official instructions, support responses, and escalation owner. Test the participant flow with a reviewer who did not build it.
- Review the distributionCompare claims and relevant follow-on activity with the original objective. Record open issues and changes for future planning.
Frequently asked questions
Which project records should we gather before drafting terms?
Gather the approved allocation scope, participation records, intended recipient group, and the name of the eligibility decision owner. Also identify the claim route and official support channels. These 5 inputs help expose missing information before the team publishes criteria.
How can we tell whether eligibility wording is usable?
Ask a reviewer who did not write the terms to apply them to a clear case, a borderline case, and an incomplete record. The reviewer should be able to explain the decision and point to the relevant criterion. If the interpretation changes between cases, revise the wording before opening participation.
When is a tiered allocation worth the added review?
Use tiers only when contribution levels have consistent evidence and a clear mapping to allocation. A fixed amount is easier to reconcile when eligible participants have similar relevance to the objective. In either model, keep the calculation beside each recipient record and compare the final total with the approved pool.
Can wallet records confirm that each recipient is a different person?
No. Wallet records show activity associated with addresses, not a verified count of unique people. Use documented review criteria, record the reason for each decision, and provide a correction route. The eligibility file should describe what the team checked without implying identity certainty.
What usually sets the planning calendar?
The calendar follows the readiness of participation records, agreed eligibility rules, a tested claim route, and reviewer availability. Put the work into 5 checkpoints and reserve time for edge cases before promotion. A launch date is more useful after those dependencies have owners.
Which records are useful after the claim period?
Keep the final eligibility file, allocation reconciliation, claim status, and support themes. Compare them with the objective stated in the brief. Separate announcement reach from claims and relevant product activity, then note which rule or instruction should change in a later distribution.
