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.
