kin-airdrop-node

This starter shows how to implement a simple API that allows you to airdrop KIN to a Solana account.

In order to send the KIN, this API needs to have an Airdrop Account configured. Read the details in .env.example about how to create an Airdrop Account.

It implements an 'activation' airdrop, which sends 1 KIN to a Solana account so that the KIN Token Account will be created.

It should be pretty straightforward to modify this for other airdropping needs.

Make sure to protect your endpoints for malicious users, so they don't drain your Airdrop Account.

Requirements

• Basic Node and TypeScript knowledge
• Node 14 or 16
• Yarn 1.22.x

Running this project

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/kin-starters/kin-airdrop-node.git
cd kin-airdrop-node

2. Install the dependencies

yarn install

3. Configure your environment

You need to create the .env file and configure the settings. The env var KIN_AIRDROP_PRIVATE_KEY is required.

Read the .env.example file for configuration options.

// Or use your editor to copy the file...
cp .env .env.example

4. Run the server

yarn dev:server

5. Invoke the endpoint

You can now invoke the /airdrop endpoint on the API, adding the public key of the Solana destination account as a parameter:
