How do you run a Polygon Token Airdrop?
To run our airdrop we’ll use Polygon Multisender from Smithii’s tool suite, and you’ll land on the following interface:
- Connect your wallet compatible with the Polygon blockchain (Metamask or WalletConnect).
- Select the token you’ll be sending (it must be on the wallet you connected)
- Set the amount of tokens each wallet will receive.
- Enter manually or upload a CSV file with the receiving wallets.
- Click Start Airdrop and approve the transaction.
- Wait a few seconds until your airdrop is complete.
The airdrop of your Polygon tokens will kick off and execute in a matter of seconds. You can watch the transactions go through in your wallet.
Things to know before running an airdrop on Polygon
Polygon is a growing blockchain, very attractive by the way, and it’s pulling in a growing number of “Degens” hunting for opportunities at all costs. Farming a airdrop becomes a priority when the reward is attractive enough.
Here are the main benefits of running an Airdrop on Polygon:
- Fast and effective distribution
- Higher holder count
- Massive reach potential
- Easy to build a marketing campaign around
- Unmatched virality
Keep in mind that running the airdrop on Polygon alone won’t unlock all of these benefits. You’ll need to build a full strategy that drives the FOMO you need to make it profitable.
How much does it cost to run a airdrop on Polygon?
Polygon is a Layer 2 ERC20 blockchain, so it follows EVM standards (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and every action requires interaction at the smart contract level, which means running a airdrop on Polygon would require coding skills to pull off.
Hiring a developer can get expensive, with a baseline of around $200 USD on top of blockchain fees. Polygon Multisender is the online solution to that problem: for a small fee of 0.5 POL per wallet, you can run your airdrop without writing a single line of code, whenever you want.
Is it safe to use Polygon Multisender?
Polygon Multisender handles the smart contract-level work for you behind a clean, easy-to-use interface. As you’ll notice, the permission transactions never request access to any of your assets, so it’s clear how safe it is to run your airdrops with it.
