5-Minute Solidity: How To Add An Airdrop Function To Your Smart Contract
Learn how to code an essential function for token distribution
Airdrops Remain Popular
Because the crypto markets are raging right now, I decided to dust off my keyboard and write some Solidity code. Token airdrops remain a powerful tool for projects to engage with their community, so I created this short tutorial to explain what airdrops are and how to include an airdrop function in your smart contract!
What Is An Airdrop?
Airdrops are method for distributing tokens to a list of crypto addresses. This method of distribution can serve multiple purposes, including incentivizing participation, rewarding early supporters, or driving decentralized governance.
Using a smart contract or a function, we can automate the process of sending tokens to eligible addresses. This helps ensure security and transparency during promotions, like an initial coin offering.
Understanding how to create and deploy airdrop functions in smart contracts is not only essential for developers, but also for anyone buying into a token. When a contract has been verified, it’s code should be available to read on the chain’s block scanner. This tutorial will…
