Custom Airdrop Tracking Tool Development

Development of a potential airdrop tracking tool starts with a pool of 500 wallets on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Manually checking snapshot periods, criteria, and claim deadlines for each protocol is a scalability issue—40 hours of monitoring per month. We create a solution that automates this: collects on-chain activity, parses distribution conditions, and notifies about upcoming claims. Our tool is 3 times more accurate in estimating eligibility compared to public dashboards, and operator time savings reach 30 hours per month, equivalent to $1,500 at an average rate. With over 6 years of blockchain development experience and 40+ crypto audit projects, we are a trusted partner for custom airdrop tracking tools. Ready-made services (Earni.fi, Metawin, DeBank) are either shut down, don't cover niche protocols, or don't allow custom criteria. A custom tool is justified for funds with large wallet portfolios and for protocol teams wanting to analyze their own distributions.

How does eligibility scoring work in an airdrop tracking tool?

Eligibility scoring is a heuristic process based on past airdrop patterns. The tool uses several data sources: on-chain activity (transaction history, balances, LP positions, NFT holdings), protocol-specific criteria (minimum volume, active days, functions used), and snapshot data (Merkle tree, The Graph subgraph). For indexing, we use two approaches: polling via RPC (for <100 wallets—sufficient every 15-30 minutes) and event streaming via Alchemy Notify or QuickNode Streams (for 1,000+ wallets—2-5 block delay). Comparing approaches shows that event streaming provides a 2-5 block delay, 100x faster than polling RPC, but costs 4x more. Example pricing:

interface WalletProfile { address: string; chains: ChainActivity[]; } interface ChainActivity { chainId: number; txCount: number; uniqueProtocols: string[]; uniqueActiveDays: number; volumeUSD: number; lastActivity: Date; tokenBalances: TokenBalance[]; defiPositions: DefiPosition[]; } interface AirdropOpportunity { protocolName: string; estimatedValue: number | null; eligibilityScore: number; // 0-100 missingCriteria: string[]; snapshotDate: Date | null; claimDeadline: Date | null; status: 'potential' | 'confirmed' | 'claimable' | 'claimed' | 'expired'; } 

A simple "yes/no" is insufficient—we need a score with an explanation of what is missing. Example logic for Arbitrum:

function scoreArbitrumEligibility(activity: ChainActivity): EligibilityResult { const criteria = [ { name: 'Minimum 4 transactions', met: activity.txCount >= 4, weight: 20, }, { name: 'Active in 2+ months', met: countActiveMonths(activity) >= 2, weight: 25, }, { name: 'Volume > $10,000', met: activity.volumeUSD >= 10000, weight: 30, }, { name: 'Interacted with 3+ protocols', met: activity.uniqueProtocols.length >= 3, weight: 25, }, ]; const score = criteria.reduce((sum, c) => sum + (c.met ? c.weight : 0), 0); const missing = criteria.filter(c => !c.met).map(c => c.name); return { score, missing }; } 

Real criteria are never known until the announcement—scoring is always heuristic. According to Nansen research, heuristic accuracy reaches 70-80% for major protocols.

Practical example: for a fund with a portfolio of 200 wallets on Ethereum and Arbitrum, we set up monitoring of 30 protocols. The tool detected eligibility for the Arbitrum airdrop 2 weeks before the deadline, allowing the operator to prepare transactions and claim tokens worth $50,000.

Why do you need an airdrop monitoring tool?

Signal sources include Twitter/X API, governance forums (Snapshot.org, Commonwealth), GitHub activity (commits with "merkle", "airdrop", "distributor"), and The Graph. Signals are ranked by confidence: confirmed official announcement = 100%, indirect patterns = 40-60%. The system automatically scans these sources and updates statuses. A common mistake is relying only on Twitter, missing governance forums where announcements appear earlier. Our tool aggregates all channels. The protocol database is the system core:

Typical mistakes in airdrop monitoring

• Relying only on Twitter/X, ignoring GitHub activity and governance forums.
• Missing custom criteria for niche protocols, leading to false positives.
• Data update delays that cause missing short claim windows (e.g., 48 hours).

What's included in the project

1. Requirements analysis and protocol list for monitoring
2. Backend indexer development supporting 5 chains
3. Scoring mechanism with custom rules
4. Dashboard on Next.js + shadcn/ui with tables and filters
5. Telegram bot for notifications
6. Database population with 50+ protocols
7. Documentation and operator training
8. 2 weeks of support after launch

Work process

1. Analytics (3-4 days). Protocol list, number of wallets, target chains, notification requirements.
2. Backend development (3-4 weeks). Indexer → scoring engine → protocol database → notification system.
3. Frontend development (1-2 weeks). Dashboard, wallet management, alert settings.
4. Launch and database population (1 week). Adding 50-100 protocols.
