Espresso — a million-wallet airdrop

Espresso is a base-layer network providing fast finality, high-throughput data availability, and optional decentralized sequencing. For the $ESP token launch, Espresso needed to distribute to roughly 1 million eligible wallets — managing claim portals, audited contracts, and infrastructure at that scale was outside their core focus and carried real operational and security risk.

Magna provided the full distribution stack:

Audited smart contracts and a branded claim portal (claim.espresso.foundation)

Wallet connection (up to 8 wallets per user) and X (Twitter) authentication

Proof-of-humanity verification (via Authena) and Terms of Service / privacy flows

Integrated staking and delegation at claim time

981,261 eligible accounts

Accessed the claim portal.

5,000+ claims in the first hour

Processed without incident, hundreds per block at peak.

Zero downtime

No infrastructure failures throughout the launch.

Fully unlocked at TGE

Tokens available to claim from the generation event.

“If we hadn’t worked with Magna, we would have had to spend a lot more time designing, implementing, and testing” distribution infrastructure. — Charles Lu, Co-founder

DistributeAI — TGE airdrop

DistributeAI is an AI-infrastructure platform that used Magna for its $DIS token generation event on Solana — an airdrop spanning 30K–50K wallets (~10% of supply) alongside investor and team vesting (see the Vesting case study).

For the airdrop, Magna provided:

Bulk Merkle upload for the 30K–50K recipients

Direct-to-exchange claim (e.g. Binance, OKX)

Post-claim hooks for staking or analytics integrations, plus API/webhook embedding into their own front end

The $DIS airdrop launched on schedule with “zero dev overhead,” reclaiming hundreds of engineering hours for their core product.
