How to Get a Snapshot of NFT and Token Holders in 3 Steps

If you have an NFT collection and want to create a snapshot of its holders, this post is for you. We’ll walk you through it in just 3 simple steps, and you can do the whole thing without coding.

Choose Your Blockchain

Before we start the step-by-step tutorial, let’s break down what a snapshot on NFT actually is and what you can use it for.

What a Holder Snapshot Is

A snapshot, as the name suggests, is a “capture” of the wallets holding NFTs from a specific collection. In other words, a snapshot on NFT is a list of wallets currently holding certain NFTs.

This lets us unlock different solutions and use cases, which we’ll cover next.

WHAT DATA A HOLDER SNAPSHOT GIVES YOU

When you run a snapshot, you will of course receive the list of wallets holding a collection, whether tokens or NFT. Depending on the tool you use to create that snapshot, it may also give you extra data.

MOST COMMON USES FOR A SNAPSHOT

When people talk about a snapshot, the first thing that usually comes to mind is running an airdrop. And in practice, that is the most common use case: taking a snapshot so you can later reward your holders with an airdrop, whether through revenue sharing, distributing a token, or sending NFTs.

It is also common to run a snapshot to grant access to a presale or whitelist.

Let’s get straight to it. We’ll walk through the tutorial step by step to create a Holders Snapshot for NFT.

Snapshot Ethereum

HOW TO CREATE A SNAPSHOT FOR ETHEREUM HOLDERS

The first thing to decide is which NFT collection or which token of Ethereum you want to create the snapshot for. It can be either ERC721 or ERC1155. Once that’s clear, we can get started and you’ll have its snapshot ready in just a few minutes.

Snapshot for Tokens

1. Open the Snapshot Ethereum Token Holders tool from Smithii.
2. Connect your wallet on Ethereum so you can use the tool.
3. Select the Token from the “Select Token” search bar.
4. Click “Take Snapshot” and confirm the transaction (0.005 ETH).
5. Wait a few seconds, then download the addresses as a CSV file.

Once it’s downloaded, you can use this list to run an airdrop or execute any marketing strategy you have in mind.

Snapshot for NFTs

1. CONTRACT ADDRESS FOR THE NFT COLLECTION

The first step is to find the address for the smart contract in the NFT collection and copy it.

To find it, go to OpenSea (the same process works on other marketplaces) and search for the NFT collection you want to use for snapshot.

Once you are on the collection page, open any NFT. Then scroll down to the “details” section. Open the dropdown and click “contract address”.

This will open the Etherscan page. From there, just copy the address shown to the right of “contract”.

2. RUN THE SNAPSHOT ETHEREUM

Once you have the address, paste it into the Smithii tool to create a Snapshot for NFT holders of Ethereum, then press Take Snapshot.

3. EXPORT AND USE THE SNAPSHOT

Once the snapshot is complete, the tool will open a new page with every wallet holding our NFT collection.

On this page, you’ll see the snapshot with the wallets and a search bar to find a specific wallet. You’ll also see buttons that let you copy all wallets, export them as a txt file, share the snapshot with a link, and even create a Merkle tree.

Snapshot Solana

How to Send a Snapshot to Holders on Solana

If we want to send a snapshot to holders on Solana, we need to be clear about which NFT collection or token we want to target. It can use either the Metaplex protocol or Magic Eden’s Open Creator Protocol. This 3-step tutorial works for both, so let’s get into it.

Snapshot for tokens

For this walkthrough, we’ll use our Snapshot Token Holders tool, which lets any user take a snapshot of the holders of any Token and receive the wallet addresses.

You can copy the Token holder addresses manually or download them as a CSV. You’re ready to run your Airdrop!

Snapshot for NFT

1. GET THE CREATOR ADDRESS FOR SNAPSHOT NFT

To run a snapshot for holders of a NFT Collection on Solana, you’ll first need its Creator Address, meaning the address that identifies your NFT Collection.

If you prefer video, we have that available too:

Start by finding the ID of any NFT from the collection we’ll use for the snapshot. You have two options:

1. From your wallet: open the NFT inside your wallet. Click the three dots in the top-right corner, then click “View on Solscan”.

2. From Magic Eden: open the NFT on Magic Eden and scroll down to the “details” section. Then click the Solscan logo next to “Mint Address”.

Once you’re on Solscan, click the “Creators” dropdown. Then click the first address that appears, which should show 0%.

This address is the ID for the NFT collection. It will open in Solscan, and we need to copy it.

Once the ID is copied, we can go straight into creating the Snapshot.

2. CREATE THE SNAPSHOT SOLANA

After copying the Creator Address, the next step is to use another tool that will create the snapshot for us.

Just open our tool, “Solana Snapshot NFT” (https://tools.smithii.io/snapshot/solana).

There, you can run the Snapshot and get the full holder list in just a few minutes for only 0.1 SOL.

Once you’re on the page, connect your wallet, paste the Creator Address, and click “Take Snapshot“.

This will open the transaction in your Wallet, where you’ll pay the 0.1 SOL fee. Once you approve it, the process will start to generate the Snapshot.

After that, you just need to wait for the process to finish.

3. EXPORT AND USE SNAPSHOT

Once the snapshot is complete, the tool will automatically open the holder list, which we can copy or export as a CSV.

With that CSV, we can use the data however we want: run an Airdrop on Solana, track how our NFT collection is distributed, and more.

That will open the BaseScan page. From there, just copy the “contract” address.

2. RUN SNAPSHOT BASE

Once you have the address, paste it into the Smithii tool to create a Snapshot for NFT holders of Base, then click Take Snapshot.

3. EXPORT AND USE SNAPSHOT

Once the snapshot is complete, the tool will open a new page with every wallet holding our NFT collection.

On this page, we will see the snapshot with the wallets and a search bar that lets us find a specific wallet. We will also see buttons that let us copy all wallets, export them as a txt file, share the snapshot with a link, and even create a Merkle tree.
