Rewards & Airdrops

Overview

Podium supports minting on-chain rewards on EVM chains (Base, Polygon, Arc Testnet) with a queued minting system via Privy server wallets. Rewards serve as verifiable, on-chain incentives with six distinct reward types. Reward programs are created by creators, linked to campaigns or standalone, and minted to users as ERC-721 tokens. The entire lifecycle — from program creation through minting and redemption — is managed via the API.

Create a Reward Program

curl -X POST https://api.podium.build/api/v1/nft-reward \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "creatorId": "clcreator_abc",
    "name": "Clean Beauty VIP Badge",
    "description": "Exclusive badge for loyal Clean Beauty Co customers",
    "type": "EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS",
    "imageUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/vip-badge.png",
    "points": 500,
    "maxSupply": 100
  }'

import { createPodiumClient } from '@podium-sdk/node-sdk'
const client = createPodiumClient({ apiKey: process.env.PODIUM_API_KEY })
const reward = await client.nftRewards.createNftReward({
  requestBody: {
    creatorId: "clcreator_abc",
    type: "EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS",
    name: "Clean Beauty VIP Badge",
    description: "Exclusive badge for loyal Clean Beauty Co customers",
    imageUrl: "https://cdn.example.com/vip-badge.png",
    points: 500
  }
});

Response

{
  "id": "clreward_xyz",
  "status": "DRAFT",
  "type": "EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS",
  "creatorId": "clcreator_abc",
  "contract": {
    "id": 42,
    "name": "Clean Beauty VIP Badge",
    "symbol": "CBVIP",
    "proxyAddress": null,
    "implementationAddress": null,
    "chainId": 8453,
    "maxSupply": 100,
    "points": 500,
    "transferable": true
  },
  "createdAt": "2026-03-07T12:00:00.000Z"
}

The contract addresses are null until the reward is published, at which point the smart contract is deployed on-chain.

Reward Types

Type	Description	Redemption Effect
`POINTS`	Redeem for Podium points	Credits points to user’s balance
`FREE_PRODUCT`	Redeem for a specific product	Creates a zero-cost order
`DISCOUNT_CODE`	Unlock a discount code	Returns a one-time discount code
`EVENT_PASS`	Access to an event or experience	Grants access token/ticket
`CUSTOM`	Custom reward defined by creator	Triggers custom webhook
`EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS`	Gated content or feature access	Unlocks gated content

Update and Publish

Update Reward Details

curl -X PUT https://api.podium.build/api/v1/nft-reward/clreward_xyz \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Updated Badge Name",
    "description": "Updated description"
  }'

Update On-Chain Metadata

curl -X PUT https://api.podium.build/api/v1/nft-reward/clreward_xyz/nft \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Clean Beauty VIP Badge",
    "description": "Exclusive badge for loyal customers",
    "imageUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/badge-v2.png",
    "animationUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/badge-v2.mp4",
    "externalUrl": "https://cleanbeautyco.com/vip",
    "points": 500
  }'

At least one of imageUrl or animationUrl is required.

Publish

curl -X PUT https://api.podium.build/api/v1/nft-reward/clreward_xyz/publish \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY"

Publishing deploys the ERC-721 contract on-chain and sets the reward status to PUBLISHED. A nft-reward-published event is emitted.

Disable

curl -X PATCH https://api.podium.build/api/v1/nft-reward/clreward_xyz/disable \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY"

Disabling prevents new mints but doesn’t affect already-minted tokens.

Grant (Mint) a Reward

Mint a reward token to a specific user:

curl -X POST https://api.podium.build/api/v1/nft-reward/clreward_xyz/grant \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "userId": "clxyz1234567890",
    "creatorId": "clcreator_abc"
  }'

await client.nftRewards.createNftRewardGrant({
  id: "clreward_xyz",
  requestBody: {
    userId: "clxyz1234567890",
    creatorId: "clcreator_abc"
  }
});

Field	Type	Required	Description
`userId`	string	Yes	Recipient user CUID
`creatorId`	string	Yes	Creator who owns the reward

Mint Queue System

Mints go through a reliable queue to handle on-chain transaction latency and failures:

QueuedMint Statuses

Status	Description
`PENDING`	Mint requested, waiting for cron
`PROCESSING`	Cron picked up, transaction in progress
`COMPLETED`	On-chain mint confirmed
`ERROR`	Mint failed (error stored in `message`)

The mint-queue cron job runs frequently, batching pending mints and executing them via Privy server wallets.

Redeem a Reward

Users redeem rewards they’ve earned:

curl -X POST https://api.podium.build/api/v1/user/clxyz1234567890/nfts/base/0xContractAddr/42/redeem \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY"

await client.userNfTs.redeem({
  id: "clxyz1234567890",
  network: "base",
  address: "0xContractAddr",
  tokenId: "42"
});

Path parameters: /{network}/{contractAddress}/{tokenId} The redemption flow:

Verify the user owns the token
Check the reward type and eligibility
Process the reward (create order, grant points, generate code, etc.)
Record NftRedemption and emit nft-redeemed event
Deduct points if the reward has a point cost

Check Redemption Status

curl https://api.podium.build/api/v1/user/clxyz1234567890/nfts/base/0xContractAddr/42/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PODIUM_API_KEY"

{
  "status": "REDEEMED",
  "redeemedAt": "2026-03-07T15:30:00.000Z",
  "rewardType": "FREE_PRODUCT",
  "rewardDetails": {
    "productId": "clprod_abc123",
    "orderId": "clord_reward_xyz"
  }
}
