Imagine you've just launched a new project on the Celo blockchain, offering unique digital assets or tokens as part of your ecosystem.
To kickstart your project and attract a community, you decide to airdrop these assets to early supporters and community members. Airdropping can significantly enhance visibility and user engagement, but managing it manually for multiple wallets can be daunting. This guide simplifies the process using Zloadr's suite of tools, specifically tailored for such operations.
Steps for Airdropping Celo Tokens and NFTs
Step 1: Token/NFT Creation
- Determine the Type of Asset: Decide whether you're airdropping fungible tokens (ERC20/ERC404) or non-fungible tokens (NFTs - ERC721/ERC1155).
- Use the Appropriate Zloadr Tool: Select the tool based on your asset type:
- For fungible tokens: Use the "ERC20 Token Creator Tool".
- For NFTs: Choose either "ERC721 NFT Creator Tool" or "ERC1155 NFT Creator Tool", depending on whether your NFTs are unique or part of a series.
Step 2: Enter Token/NFT Details
- Input Essential Information: For both tokens and NFTs, you'll need to enter details such as the token's name, symbol, total supply, and metadata link. Ensure the metadata accurately represents your asset.
- Generate and Deploy Contract: Click "Generate Contract" to create your token/NFT contract, then use "Publish Token" to deploy it on the blockchain. Note the token address and transaction ID for future reference.
Step 3: Prepare for Airdrop
- Compile Recipient List: Gather a CSV-formatted list of recipient wallets and the corresponding amounts (for tokens) or token IDs (for NFTs) to be airdropped.
Step 4: Multi-Send Airdrop
- Connect Your Wallet: Using the "Multi-Send Tokens (ERC20)" or "Batch Send NFTs (ERC1155 or ERC721)" tool, connect your MetaMask or compatible wallet.
- Enter Contract Address: Input the contract address of your created token or NFT to inform the tool what you're distributing.
- Upload Recipient List: Paste your prepared list into the "Parse Data" section and validate it by clicking "Parse".
- Authorize and Execute Airdrop: Approve the transaction for the total amount of tokens or NFTs being sent out, then click "Send Batch" to commence the airdrop.
Important Considerations
- Gas Fees: Be prepared for gas fees associated with contract deployment and the multi-send transaction, varying based on network conditions.
- Token/NFT Ownership: Ensure you hold enough tokens/NFTs in your wallet for the airdrop and sufficient Celo for gas.
- Accuracy: Double-check all details, especially recipient addresses, to avoid irreversible mistakes.
This step-by-step guide should streamline the process of airdropping Celo tokens and NFTs, making your project's promotional efforts more effective and efficient.
