How to Use the Giveaway App on Starch.one

What Is the Giveaway App?

The Giveaway App is Starch Industries’ in-platform tool that allows users to host token giveaways directly on the Starch ecosystem.

How to Use the Giveaway App

The Giveaway App on Starch.one/apps lets you create and claim crypto giveaways using unique Gift Codes. Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:

1. How to Claim a Giveaway Using a Gift Code

Claiming a Gift Code is fast and secure:

1. Connect your Cardano wallet
   (e.g., Nami, Eternl, Lace, Yoroi) on the Starch Giveaway App.
2. Enter the Gift Code
   Paste your code into the field provided.
3. Send 2 ADA
   The app will prompt you to send 2 ADA to confirm the claim.
   Once processed, you’ll receive:

• The tokens linked to the Gift Code (e.g., STRCH or HOSKY)
• 1.7 ADA returned (as a refund minus network fee)

💡 This step helps prevent spam claims and ensures real users benefit.

2. How to Create Giveaway Codes

Want to distribute tokens through unique codes? Here’s how:

1. Select the asset
   Currently supported: HOSKY and STRCH
2. Enter the total token amount
   This is the full amount you want to give away.
3. Choose how many codes to create
   You can generate between 1 and 1,000 Gift Codes.

The app will automatically split the total balance evenly across the codes.

3. Download Gift Codes

After creating your giveaway:

• Download all Gift Codes as a CSV file.
  These are ready to distribute to your community, users, or friends.
• Track claimed codes by downloading the list of Claimed Gift Codes, so you know which have been redeemed.

Why It’s Cost-Efficient

In a typical airdrop, the creator pays 1 ADA + network fees per recipient. That adds up quickly.

With the Giveaway App:

• You only spend 1 ADA once, no matter how many codes you generate.
• About 1.35 ADA is locked per giveaway (but not spent), allowing future redemption.
• You can pay with STRCH tokens for 50% off, reducing your cost even more.

It’s one of the most affordable and scalable ways to run giveaways on Cardano.
