Project Description

Although protocols like Lens and Farcaster are doing a great job decentralising social media, it’s hard for users to fully migrate to these platforms because:

• Gaining followers on a new social network is hard.
• Keeping followers engaged is even harder.

One of the issues many brands, creators, and other users face when getting started on a new social network is gaining recognition. They want to make their brand known, gain more followers, engagement, and so on. But most of the time, all these come at a cost – giveaways.

Giveaway/Contest marketing is no doubt one of the most effective strategies for brand awareness and product promotion today. Some of the most successful social media marketers use this strategy to gain new customers, improve customer engagement, and conduct market research.

Lensdrop makes it easy for brands, creators, and ordinary users to gain more followers and boost engagements on their Lens profile. It does this by creating a platform that facilitates rewards that incentivise people to follow and engage with their posts.

Tech Stack

• Solidity: Used to create the smart contract that handles mass-airdropping tokens.
• NextJS: App Development.
• Web3 Storage: Will be used to store airdrop listings.
• NFT Port: Their API will be used to allow users to build NFT smart contracts in the app without writing a single line of code.
• OpenSea: Their API will be used for NFT drops.
• Alchemy: RPC Endpoint access.
• Figma: Design

Development Roadmap

Milestone 1

• Summary: Allow users to airdrop already minted and unminted NFTs. The current implementation only allows people to airdrop Native (Matic) and ERC20 tokens. There have been requests from Lensdrop users to support NFT airdrops. Hence, this feature.
• Team: Jelilat Anofiu (Engineer)
• Budget: 2000 USD
• Duration: 3 weeks

Number	Deliverable	Specification
1.	Deploy NFT mass-airdrop contract	The smart contract should enable mass NFT airdrops
2.	Integrate OpenSea API to the Frontend	Users should be able to airdrop already minted tokens from their wallet.
3.	Integrate Smart Contract to Frontend	Users should be able to airdrop tokens to others from their own personal NFT smart contract via the app frontend.
4.	Integrate search API	Users shouldn't always have to copy and paste the addresses of the token they want to airdrop. They should be able to type in the name of the token and get token suggestions.

Milestone 2

• Summary: Product redesign and implementation
• Team: Jelilat Anofiu (Engineer), Oyinkansola Rufai (Designer)
• Budget: 5000 USD
• Duration: 4 weeks

Number	Deliverable	Specification
1.	Redesign the App	The app should be redesigned to accommodate newly added and upcoming features while maintaining a great user experience.
2.	Design Implementation	Existing app should be updated to reflect changes in the design

Milestone 3

• Summary: Brands/influencers should be able to list their ongoing airdrops. That way, people can easily come to the app and see a list of ongoing airdrops/giveaways and what they can do to win. Having a platform that collates all the ongoing giveaways is a win-win for both users looking for giveaways and brands looking to gain engagement on Lens
• Team: Jelilat Anofiu (Engineer)
• Budget: 3000 USD
• Duration: 2 weeks

Number	Deliverable	Specification
1.	Airdrop listings	Brands/creators should be able to list their ongoing giveaways. Users should also be able to access the airdrop catalog and see what they have to do to win.

Milestone 4

• Summary: Add a dashboard to track airdrops and an In-app NFT contract creation/minting support. This is specifically created for non-coders who want to airdrop tokens to their fans. They don’t have to get someone to help them code an NFT smart contract. It also saves the process of going to third-party apps like OpenSea to create NFTs, then coming back to Lensdrop just for airdrops
• Team: Jelilat Anofiu (Engineer)
• Budget: 3000 USD
• Duration: 2 weeks

Number	Deliverable	Specification
1.	Dashboard	Users should be able to track their past airdrops and ongoing airdrops.
2.	In-app NFT contract creation/minting	Users should be able to create NFT smart contracts and mint custom NFTs in the app.
