Airdrop Tool — distribute tokens to thousands of wallets

How to use the batch airdrop tool to send tokens to thousands of recipients in a single transaction with CSV upload, snapshot support, and on-chain proof.

Why batch airdrops matter

Airdrops are one of the most effective token distribution mechanisms in crypto. They reward early users, bootstrap liquidity, and drive network effects. But doing them manually — copying addresses, sending one transaction at a time — does not scale. The Lester Labs Airdrop Tool lets you upload a CSV of recipient addresses and amounts, review everything before signing, and send to thousands of wallets in a single transaction. The contract handles the math and distribution atomically — if any transfer fails, the whole batch reverts.

The Airdrop Tool on LitVM testnet uses test tokens only. No real value is transferred. The flow is identical to mainnet — the only difference is the token you are distributing.

Running your first airdrop

1

Navigate to the Airdrop Tool

Go to lester-labs.com/airdrop. Connect your wallet and switch to LitVM network. Make sure you hold the tokens you want to distribute in your connected wallet.

2

Prepare your recipient list

Create a CSV file with two columns: recipient address and amount. address,amount 0x1234...abcd,1000 0x5678...wxyz,2500 Make sure addresses are valid Ethereum-format (42 characters starting with 0x) and amounts are in the smallest unit of your token.

3

Upload your CSV

Click Upload CSV and select your file. The tool parses it and shows a preview table: address, amount, and a validation status for each row. Invalid addresses are flagged in red — fix these before proceeding.

4

Review the distribution summary

The tool shows the total token amount you will be sending, the number of unique recipients, and an estimated gas cost. Review carefully — airdrops are irreversible once the transaction confirms.

5

Set your parameters

Choose between merkle root mode (for larger distributions where you want to save gas) or direct transfer mode (simpler, recommended for under 500 recipients). Set an optional start time if you want to schedule the airdrop.

6

Sign and broadcast

Click Distribute and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Once confirmed, tokens appear in each recipient wallet almost instantly. Share the transaction hash as proof of distribution.

For large airdrops (1000+ recipients), use merkle root mode. It posts one proof to the chain instead of thousands of individual transfers — saving significant gas. Recipients claim their tokens themselves, so there is no gas cost to you for the distribution itself.

Verifying the airdrop on-chain

After the transaction confirms, verify the distribution by searching your address on the LitVM block explorer. The Airdrop contract emits a Transfer event for each successful distribution, making it easy to audit exactly who received what. For merkle root mode, the contract stores the merkle root on-chain. Share the merkle proof data with recipients so they can independently verify their inclusion in the tree.
