#AirdropStepByStep Here's a step-by-step guide on how to perform an airdrop (typically for crypto tokens or NFTs). Let me know if you're asking from the sender's or receiver's perspective—I'll start with the sender (project owner/distributor) side:

How to Do an Airdrop (Sender Side)

Step 1: Define Purpose and Audience

Are you rewarding users, promoting a token, or increasing visibility?

Choose eligibility criteria: wallet activity, community involvement, etc.

Step 2: Collect Wallet Addresses

Use sign-up forms, snapshot tools (e.g., from Ethereum, Solana), or partner with platforms (like Galxe, Zealy, etc.).

Make sure to validate and deduplicate addresses.

Step 3: Prepare the Tokens

Ensure you have the tokens or NFTs in a wallet ready for distribution.

Check gas fees and ensure you have enough native currency (e.g., ETH, BNB, SOL) to cover them.

Step 4: Choose Distribution Method

Manual: Send tokens one by one (not recommended for large drops).

Automated: Use airdrop tools like:

Ethereum/EVM: Merkle Distributor, DappDrop, Airdropper

Solana: Solana Airdrop Tool

Third-Party Services: CoinTool, Moralis, or Gnosis Safe with CSV plugins.

Step 5: Execute the Airdrop

Run the airdrop smart contract or batch transaction.

Monitor each transaction for confirmation.

Step 6: Notify the Community

Announce the drop via Twitter, Discord, etc.

Provide a way for users to verify they received the tokens.

Step 7: Post-Airdrop Follow-Up

Track engagement.

Prepare for any support issues (e.g., wrong address, failed transactions).

How to Receive an Airdrop (Receiver Side)

Check Eligibility: Confirm you qualify based on the project’s requirements.

Connect Wallet: Use MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, etc.

Verify Airdrop: Some projects require you to claim via their website.

Claim Tokens: If needed, sign a transaction (free or with minimal gas).

Check Wallet: Tokens should appear; if not, add the custom token address.
