Nova Pupa — Chainlink Partnership

We are excited to announce that Nova Pupa, an online marketing portal combining advanced Web3 integrations with blockchain technology and metaverse advertising, is integrating Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) and Chainlink Keepers on BNB Chain mainnet. By integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, we now have the tools needed to help automate and randomize the Nova Pupa Airdrop Feature. Ultimately this brings more reliability to Nova Pupa through decentralized automation and gives users higher assurances of a provably fair, community-friendly airdrop selection process.

Key results

  • $100,000+ in daily volume
  • Over 10.000+ active user accounts
  • 2 engineering hours saved per day
  • $5000+ saved per month in user gas fees

The Continued Growth of Nova Pupa by Leveraging Chainlink Services

Nova Pupa is a nano- and micro-influencer marketing portal that delivers an effective marketing service and enables individuals to monetize their online presence in a way that’s effortless, secure, and profitable.

Nova Pupa airdrops are a way to award our community for their continued participation in our ecosystem. Our community will be able to participate in daily or hourly airdrops (to be determined) and receive a select number of Pupa tokens.

In order to build out a robust airdrop process, we needed access to two critical infrastructure services — verifiable randomness and smart contract automation.

Securing Randomness With Chainlink VRF

Whenever airdrops are given to people, the question always remains: have the users actually been selected randomly? We wanted to tackle this issue, and Chainlink VRF was the perfect solution.

Chainlink VRF is a verifiably random number generator. This means that the randomness itself is provable — any person can verify the integrity of the randomness. The service works by combining block data that is still unknown when the request is made with the oracle node’s pre-committed private key to generate both a random number and a cryptographic proof. The Nova Pupa smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has a valid cryptographic proof, and the cryptographic proof can only be generated if the VRF process is tamper-proof. This helps provide users with automated and publicly verifiable proof directly on-chain that each Nova Pupa airdrop using Chainlink VRF for randomness is provably fair and cannot be tampered with or predicted by the oracle, outside entities, or the Nova Pupa team.

Expanding Continuity With Chainlink Keepers

Another goal of ours was to make sure that the airdrops run manually and consistently without needing a centralized entity to trigger the airdrops. The core problem is that smart contracts require an external entity to trigger them, hence the need for a centralized entity, but we wanted to automate this process in a decentralized manner.

A decentralized smart contract automation service can reliably trigger airdrops on a regular basis without requiring constant maintenance on our part. After searching for the best solution, we decided on Chainlink Keepers as our go-to automation service, which is saving us a significant amount of time.

A few critical features that set Chainlink Keepers apart include:

  • High Uptime — Chainlink Keepers are run by the same professional DevOps teams that have an established on-chain performance history of providing high reliability to Chainlink Price Feeds during extreme network congestion and market volatility.
  • Low Costs — Chainlink Keepers have several gas-optimizing features that lower the costs of automating maintenance tasks for users, including a rotating node selection process to prevent gas price auction wars and stabilize costs.
  • Decentralized Execution — Chainlink leverages a decentralized and transparent pool of Keepers to help provide strong guarantees around secure contract automation, saving teams time and mitigating the risks around manual interventions or centralized servers.
  • Expandable Computation — Chainlink Keepers perform off-chain computations and generate calldata verifiable by smart contracts, allowing developers to build advanced, trust-minimized dApps at lower costs.

Looking Ahead: Integrating Data Feeds in the Nova Pupa Platform

We also intend to integrate Chainlink Price Feeds for accurate and real-time pricing of various cryptocurrencies, which will enable users on our platform to convert payments in real-time. Stay tuned for more details.

“Integrating both Chainlink VRF and Keepers made building and managing an automated airdrop feature much simpler for our team. Users will be able to rest easy knowing that the airdrops are underpinned by decentralized automation and a verifiable random number generator.”
