Candy Drop Docs

Everything about the game and its play-to-earn layer on Solana — how to play, how rewards work, holdings tiers, claiming real SOL, and how we keep it fair.

Overview

Candy Drop is a skill-based physics puzzle: cut ropes, time the swing, and drop the candy into the little monster's mouth. It's free to play and instantly fun.

On top of the game sits a play-to-earn layer on Solana mainnet. A fixed prize pool is shared every day among players, and you can claim your share as real SOL to your own wallet.

✂️

Skill, not luck

Rewards come from how you play and hold — never from wagering.

Real SOL

Payouts settle on Solana mainnet, straight to your Phantom wallet.

🔑

Non-custodial

Your keys, your coins. We never hold your funds.

How to play

Cut the rope — swipe across a rope to slice it; the candy is released and physics takes over.
Time the swing — the candy swings side to side. Wait for the right moment, then cut to fling it. You can also drag the candy to build momentum.
Feed the monster — land the candy on the monster to clear the level. Collect the three stars on the way for a perfect run.

Bubbles float the candy up; air pumps blow it sideways. Each level mixes these to make the puzzle.

Getting started

Install Phantom (free) and switch it to mainnet.
Open the game and click Connect Wallet.
Approve the one-time sign-in message — it's a free signature that proves you own the wallet. No transaction, no cost.
Play. Points are tracked to your wallet automatically; your Dashboard shows earnings, quests, rank, and the claim button.

💡

You stay signed in for 7 days across the game, landing page, and dashboard — no need to reconnect every visit.

The daily pool

There is one fixed prize pool every day, shared across all players. It's the same size no matter how many people play — so earning is about your share of the pool, not a fixed rate.

your SOL today = daily pool × (your weight ÷ everyone's weight)

Your weight is what decides your slice. How weight is calculated is the reward model below.

During the day — your weight builds; the dashboard shows a live projected slice.
At UTC midnight — the day finalizes and your exact share is locked in.
Then — your share moves to Available to claim.

Reward model · holdings tiers

Your share of the pool is set by how much of the Candy Drop coin you hold, measured as a percentage of total supply. The more you hold, the bigger your slice — up to a 3.5% cap.

weight = min( your % of supply , 3.5% )

Holding more than 3.5% gives no extra reward — this is an anti-whale cap so a few big wallets can't drain the pool.

Tiers

Tier	Holding (% of supply)
🍬 Tier 1	0.1% – 1%
🥉 Tier 2	1% – 2%
🥈 Tier 3	2% – 3%
💎 Tier 4 (max)	3% – 3.5%+ (capped at 3.5%)

Example

Three players hold 5%, 1%, and 10% of supply. After the 3.5% cap their weights are 3.5, 1, and 3.5 (total 8). The pool splits 43.75% / 12.5% / 43.75% — the 5% and 10% holders earn the same, because both are capped.

🎮

You must play to earn. Only wallets that played that day share the pool — holdings set the amount, playing sets eligibility. Holding alone, without playing, earns nothing.

🪙

Before the coin launches: while the token isn't live, the pool is split by skill points instead, so the game already pays out. The moment the coin goes live, rewards switch to holdings automatically.

Points

Points measure your play. They drive your rank, the leaderboard, and quests — and they're the pool's weighting until the coin launches. The server awards points (the game can't), and they're capped per day so nobody can farm.

Action	Points
Clear a level (first time each day)	8–17 (harder levels pay more)
Each star collected	+4
Daily quests	+5 to +50 each

Replaying a level you already cleared today earns 0 — points come from progress, not repetition.

Daily quests

Quests reset every day and give bonus points. They show on the game screen and the dashboard, and tick up automatically as you play.

Quest	Goal	Reward
Warm Up	Clear 1 level	+5
Sweet Tooth	Clear 3 levels	+15
On a Roll	Clear 5 levels	+25
Marathon	Clear all 10 levels	+40
Star Collector	Collect 10 stars	+20
Star Hoarder	Collect 20 stars	+35
Star Master	Collect all 30 stars	+50
Flawless	Get a 3-star clear	+25
Triple Threat	Three 3-star clears	+40

Ranks

Ranks are a badge of your lifetime points — they grow as you keep playing and never reset.

Rank	Lifetime points
🥉 Bronze	0+
🥈 Silver	300+
🥇 Gold	1,000+
💠 Platinum	3,000+
💎 Diamond	8,000+
👑 Master	20,000+

Claiming SOL

After a day settles, your share appears as Available to claim on the dashboard.
Click Claim to wallet.
The server sends the SOL from the treasury to your wallet and shows the transaction — viewable on Solscan.

Minimum claim applies (keeps network fees sane) — keep playing to reach it.
Claims are idempotent — you can never claim more than your settled balance.
Today's points/holdings are a projection until the day ends; claiming becomes available after settlement.

Fairness & anti-cheat

Because real value is at stake, scoring is server-authoritative — the browser reports what you did, but the server decides the reward under strict rules:

The client can't set its own points — the server awards them.
Each level pays once per day; replays earn nothing.
A solve needs a single-use server session and a minimum solve time — blocking instant bots and replays.
A hard per-wallet daily cap means no one can farm unlimited points.
The holdings 3.5% cap stops whales from dominating the pool.

🛡️

No browser game is perfectly cheat-proof, so we bound the upside: cheating can't earn past the daily caps, and the pool is fixed — inflating your own weight only dilutes everyone, including yourself.

Security & custody

Non-custodial. You connect your own Phantom wallet. We never take custody of your funds or ask for your private key.
Free sign-in. Logging in is a message signature — it proves wallet ownership and costs nothing. It is never a transaction.
Treasury stays server-side. Payouts are signed by a treasury wallet whose key lives only on the server, never in your browser.
On-chain & verifiable. Every claim is a real Solana transaction you can inspect on Solscan.

⚠️

Crypto rewards involve risk and this is not a financial product or investment. Play responsibly and only where permitted by your local laws.

FAQ

Is it free to play?

Yes. Every level is free. You never spend to earn — rewards are based on skill and holdings.

Do I need crypto experience?

No. Install Phantom, click Connect, and play. You can also just play for fun and set up a wallet later.

Is this gambling?

No. There's no wagering and no random payout — your share is determined by play and holdings, like a tournament.

More holdings = more SOL?

Yes, up to the 3.5% cap. Above 3.5% of supply, extra holdings add nothing.

Which network?

Solana mainnet — real SOL. Connect Phantom on mainnet to play and earn.
