#AirdropStepByStep Step-by-Step Guide to Set Up a Crypto Airdrop
Step 1: Define the Airdrop Goals
Are you distributing tokens to raise awareness, reward users, or promote a new project?
Decide the total supply and the portion for airdrop.
Step 2: Choose the Blockchain
Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polygon, etc.
Make sure your token is deployed on the selected blockchain.
Step 3: Create/Deploy the Token (if not already)
Use platforms like Remix (for Ethereum-compatible tokens) or token creation tools like:
Ethereum: OpenZeppelin + Remix
BNB Chain: Token generator tools or custom smart contracts
Step 4: Collect Recipient Wallet Addresses
Methods:
Registration forms (e.g., Google Forms, Zealy, Galxe)
Snapshot from holders or users (via tools like Snapshot.org)
Social media contests
Step 5: Use Airdrop Tools
Manual Method: Write a script or use a tool like Ethers.js, Web3.js to send tokens
Automated Platforms:
CoinTool
Gleam
Zealy.io
Galxe
Layer3
[DripDropz](for Cardano)
For Solana: use Solana CLI or platforms like Magic Eden
Step 6: Execute the Airdrop
Make sure you have enough native token (ETH, BNB, SOL, etc.) for gas fees.
Use your script or platform to send tokens to wallet addresses.
Step 7: Announce the Airdrop
Promote it on your website, Twitter/X, Discord, Telegram, etc.
Be transparent about rules, deadlines, and claim dates.
Step 8: Monitor and Support
Be available to support users if there are issues.
Track distribution and engagement.
