The Candy Machine

Onboarding and reward infrastructure.

The Candy Machine is the infrastructure layer behind $CANDY.

It serves two core purposes:

• Onboarding new users

• Providing reward infrastructure for projects

Onboarding Portal

Users can:

• Create a Hedera wallet via HashPack

• Connect their wallet

• Claim rewards

• Experience their first on-chain interaction

The goal is frictionless onboarding.

Utility should be immediate.

Complexity should be minimal.

Reward Infrastructure

The Candy Machine provides three modular systems.

1) NFT-Gated Claims

A flexible distribution engine supporting:

• NFT-gated token claims

• NFT-gated NFT claims

• Mixed reward campaigns

• Vesting distributions

• Event-based reward drops

Projects define eligibility and rewards.

The Candy Machine executes the logic automatically.

2) Holder Rewards (Wallet-Tracked Staking)

A simplified staking-style system:

• Tokens remain in user wallets

• Balances are tracked automatically

• Rewards are weighted

• NFT multipliers supported

No locking.

No staking dashboard complexity.

3) Liquidity Provider Rewards

A mechanism to incentivize liquidity provision:

• Liquidity balances tracked

• Weighted reward distribution

• NFT multipliers supported

Dynamic Billboard (Advertising Layer)

At the top of the Candy Machine interface sits a dynamic billboard.

It is a rotating banner system designed to amplify ecosystem visibility.

Up to five projects can advertise simultaneously.

It is positioned where users:

• Connect their wallets

• Claim rewards

• Interact with active campaigns

This places advertising in front of engaged, on-chain participants.

The Candy Machine does not only distribute rewards.

It distributes attention.

SaaS Monetization

In 2026, Candy Machine services transition into monetized infrastructure.

Projects acquire $CANDY to access reward modules and advertising.

This introduces:

• Circular utility

• Organic demand

• Ecosystem-aligned growth

Infrastructure built in 2024–2025 enters its adoption phase.
