Introduction

Onboard.Ninja is a platform for running Cardano token airdrops. You create a campaign, generate claim codes, and share them (often as QR codes). Recipients enter a code and their wallet address, and the platform delivers the reward — ADA and/or native tokens — to their wallet.

It's designed for events, community drops, and onboarding new users to Cardano without asking them to understand smart contracts.

How it works

1. Create a campaign — pick a network and claim window. The platform provisions a dedicated bucket wallet to fund rewards from.
2. Fund the bucket — top it up from your own CIP-30 browser wallet (Eternl, Lace, etc.) with the ADA and tokens you'll distribute.
3. Generate codes — create one code or thousands at once, each with its own usage limits and reward configuration.
4. Share QR codes — download print-ready QR codes that deep-link recipients straight into the claim flow.
5. Recipients claim — they scan, enter their wallet address, and receive the reward.
6. Monitor & refund — watch claims roll in on the performance charts, then refund any unclaimed balance when the campaign ends.

Two editions

Onboard.Ninja comes in two flavors that share the same core app:

• SaaS — the hosted service. Sign up, and we run the infrastructure and transaction backend for you. See Sign up (SaaS).
• Self-hosted — the open-source platform you run yourself with Docker. See Install (Self-hosted).

The differences are summarized in Editions.

Networks

Campaigns run on preprod (recommended for testing) or mainnet. Always trial a campaign on preprod before spending real funds on mainnet.
