Multi-level referral reward Anchor program on Solana with 70/30 SPL token payouts and a Next.js dashboard

Devnet referral-reward dApp: mocked crypto stubs, 9-commit burst, no winner traction.

Dimensions

Verdict

This is a two-level (70/30) SPL referral-reward Anchor program with a Next.js dashboard, deployed to devnet. Against the corpus it sits in a dense but not identical lane: the closest general match is a generic Solana reward/staking system at 0.057 similarity , and the closest winner is Decal, a 2nd-place Stablecoins loyalty platform at 0.070 , yet neither implements the specific referral-tree mechanic, so this reads partial_gap rather than a saturated clone. The strongest dimension is ecosystemFit (60): genuine Anchor/PDA/SPL primitives plus one confirmed derivative project building on top of it. The weakest is momentum (18): a single contributor pushed all 9 commits in one burst over roughly 3.5 months with zero stars GitHub metadata: 9 commits, 1 contributor, 3.5-month burst, 0 stars, and techQuality (30) is capped by vendored blake3/constant_time_eq stubs that return zero hashes instead of real crypto, on top of no CI and unverified tests. Next move: replace the mocked crypto dependencies with real hash verification, add CI and assertion-bearing tests, remove the hardcoded RPC key, and build sustained multi-contributor history before resubmitting.

Winner DNA

  • Solana + Anchor smart contract stack: present

    Uses Anchor/Rust with a PDA-controlled vault, matching the 22.3% Anchor share among cohort winners.

  • React/Next.js frontend dashboard: present

    Wallet-adapter integrated Next.js app matches the 38.3% React share among cohort winners.

  • Staking/reward-token primitive overlap: present

    Lists staking and token primitives (staking at 9.7% winner share) but implements a referral tree rather than a staking pool.

  • Sustained multi-contributor development: missing

    Single contributor, 9 commits in one burst over 3.5 months, versus winners with ongoing team activity.

  • CI and verified test coverage: missing

    No GitHub Actions workflows and unverified test assertion content.

  • Genuine, unpatched crypto dependencies: missing

    Vendored/mocked blake3 and constant_time_eq crates return zero hashes instead of real cryptographic output.
