What Type of Freebies did QoinPro have?

QoinPro provided different types of off-chain rewards that people could collect, consolidate and transfer. The following list is not exhaustive, but gives a good indication.

• Fractional Faucet

• Airdrops & Airdrips

• Earliest Forks

• Referral Bonuses

• Community Engagement Bonuses

Why were Faucet transactions off-chain?

QoinPro operated as a faucet, distributing small, fractional amounts of various cryptocurrencies to users on a regular basis. These micro-rewards, often worth only a few satoshis or cents, were intended to accumulate gradually over time. To make this feasible, all faucet transactions were handled off-chain — meaning they were tracked and stored internally in a database rather than being broadcast to the blockchain immediately. This allowed users to collect multiple small amounts without incurring transaction fees for each claim.

The main reason for keeping these transactions off-chain was practicality. Blockchain networks, especially those like Bitcoin and Ethereum, have minimum transaction fees that often exceed the value of individual faucet payouts. Recording each small transaction on-chain would have made the entire model economically unviable — users would have lost more in fees than they gained in rewards. Off-chain storage allowed QoinPro to consolidate balances until they reached a sufficient threshold, at which point users could request a withdrawal that justified the cost of an on-chain transaction.

What is the difference between an Airdrop and an Airdrip?

An Airdrop (aka. candy) is a reward for doing something. Usually a social media task (Follow on Twitter, Like on Facebook, Subscribe on YouTube, etc.). An Airdrip usually is a smaller (but recurring) reward for continued engagement such as being a member of a Telegram group, staying subscribed to a newsletter, etc.
