What Is Airdrop?

Definition

An airdrop is a distribution of cryptocurrency tokens to multiple wallet addresses, typically used to reward early supporters, build community, or achieve decentralized token distribution.

A crypto airdrop sends free tokens to a list of wallet addresses. It's one of the most common distribution strategies for new tokens, used to bootstrap a community, reward early users, or achieve wide token distribution.

  • Holder airdrops: Distribute to wallets that already hold a specific token (e.g., airdrop to all SOL holders)
  • Activity-based airdrops: Reward users who performed specific actions (traded, voted, used a protocol)
  • Community airdrops: Distribute to Discord members, Twitter followers, or early signup lists
  • Retroactive airdrops: Reward past users of a protocol — Uniswap's UNI airdrop is the most famous example

To airdrop your token created on CoinDevTools, you'll need: 1. A list of recipient wallet addresses 2. Tokens in your wallet to distribute 3. A bulk transfer tool (like Sol-incinerator for Solana or Disperse.app for EVM)

The token itself is created on CoinDevTools. Distribution happens separately using the tools above or custom scripts.
