What is Claimpaign?
Claimpaign lets you create QR code-based token claim campaigns on Cardano. You define what to distribute, generate QR codes, and hand them out. Recipients scan the code with a compatible wallet and receive their tokens instantly on-chain.
The system implements CIP-99 (Proof of Onboarding), the Cardano standard for claim-based token distribution. Any compatible wallet can scan your QR codes out of the box.
Built for in-person events
Claimpaign is designed with live events in mind: conferences, meetups, hackathons, workshops. Print QR codes on badges, flyers, stickers or display them on screens. Attendees scan, claim, done. No registration, no forms, no waiting.
This makes it one of the most effective ways to onboard newcomers to Cardano. Someone who has never used a blockchain wallet can install one on the spot, scan a QR code, and hold their first native asset within seconds.
No wallet? No problem
Recipients don't need a wallet before the event. They can install one on the spot and claim immediately. VESPR, Begin Wallet, and Tokeo Pay are particularly well suited for this because they let users skip the seed phrase backup during setup and do it later. That means no one has to write down 24 words in a crowded venue before they can participate.
Compatible wallets
Any Cardano wallet that implements CIP-99 can scan Claimpaign QR codes. See the full wallet comparison in our docs. Currently supported:
Fast setup, deferred seed backup, excellent for events.
Deferred seed backup, beginner-friendly interface.
Quick wallet creation, deferred seed backup, great for events.
CIP-99 support, but requires seed phrase backup on setup, not ideal for events.
Supports CIP-99 but slow setup process, not ideal for events.
More wallets will be added as they implement CIP-99. If your favorite wallet supports the standard, it will work with Claimpaign automatically.

Campaign configuration
Every campaign is fully configurable to match your use case:
- Unique or shared codes - Generate one-time codes for individual handouts, or create a single reusable code to display on a big screen, wallpaper, or poster.
- Claims per wallet - Limit how many times a single wallet (by stake key) can claim. Set it to 1 for exclusive drops, or allow multiple claims for things like a treasury hunt.
- Code expiration - Set a date and time after which codes become invalid. Perfect for time-limited events.
- Pause and resume - Pause a campaign at any time and resume it later. Codes remain valid but cannot be claimed while paused.
- Network selection - Run campaigns on preprod for testing or mainnet for production.
Pay only for what gets claimed
This is a key advantage over traditional airdrops. With Claimpaign, you are not blasting tokens to thousands of wallets hoping someone cares. Instead, recipients actively scan a QR code to claim their tokens. You only pay transaction fees for codes that actually get redeemed. See pricing for the full cost breakdown.
Generate 1,000 codes for a conference but only 300 get scanned? You only pay for 300 transactions. No wasted funds, no spraying tokens into the void.
Analytics and error tracking
Your dashboard shows real-time campaign statistics:
- Total codes generated vs. claimed
- Redemption rate per campaign
- Failed claims with detailed error reasons (invalid address, expired code, wallet limit reached, transaction failure)
- Scan counters for each error type so you can spot issues early
If a transaction fails, the code is automatically released so the recipient can try again. Nothing gets lost.
