How to obtain Holders List on Solana [3 Steps].

If you have a Solana project or you are planning to create one, your main goal is probably to make it known. It is essential to know how to get a list of Solana token holders, in other words people who have in their possession a Solana token, memecoin or NFT and therefore become your target audience, because of similar interest (if they liked a certain token or NFT, it is possible that they will be attracted to yours).

There are many marketing strategies to increase the reach and awareness of your project, but one of the most common—and perhaps an essential one—is to run an airdrop. This involves giving away a portion of your token NFT supply to multiple wallets or offering it as a reward. To do this, you’ll need a list of holders, either from a project similar to yours or from your own project that you want to reward.

This process is known asSnapshot.” For example, we can obtain a list of $WIF holders and then airdrop new token those wallets; or take a snapshot DeGods holders and then promote your NFT to that community.

Getting a List of Token Holders on Solana step by step

In order to obtain our list of token holders on Solana we will use the dApp called "Snapshot Token Holders" (https://tools.smithii.io/snapshot-token/Solana) from Smithii Tools that will allow you to do it for a fee of 0.1 SOL, where you will find an interface as shown below:

1. Go to Snapshot Token and connect your wallet
2. Fill in the "Token field by selecting the token your wallet.
3. Click on "Take Snapshot", confirm the transaction and wait a few seconds.

Once this process is complete, you’ll have a list of all the wallets that hold the token . You can copy these addresses manually or download them in CSV format to make it easier to analyze them and use them in marketing strategies such as the airdrops mentioned above.

If you prefer the video format I share with you a tutorial on how to do it:

Obtaining a List of NFT Holders on Solana step by step

In order to make a snapshot of the holders of a Solana NFT Collection we will first need to have its Creator Address, that is, the address that identifies our NFT Collection.

Again, if you prefer the video format we also have it available:

We start looking for the ID of any NFT belonging to the collection from which we will make the snapshot. For this, we have two options:

1. Through your wallet: access the NFT within your wallet. Click on the three dots at the top right and then click on "View in Solscan".

2. Through Magic Eden: access the NFT from Magic Eden, and scroll down to the "details" section. There click on the solscan logo where it says "Mint Address".

3. When we are in solscan we will click in the drop-down list "Creators". Then, we click on the first address that appears, which will have a 0%.

4. This address is the ID of the NFT collection. It will open inside solscan and we must copy it.

After having copied the Creator Address we have to use another tool that will make the snapshot for us. You simply need to access our "Solana Snapshot NFT" (https://tools.smithii.io/snapshot/Solana).

Here we will be able to do the Snapshot and obtain the list of Holders in just a few minutes, for only 0.1 SOL.

1. Log on to Snapshot NFT Holders and connect your wallet
2. Complete "Creator Address" that you copied earlier.
3. Click on "Take Snapshot", confirm the transaction and wait a few seconds.

Once this is done, it is time to wait for the process to finish.

You have your Solana holder list, it's time to airdrop with Solana Token Multisender.
