Solana
Airdrop a Solana Token to a List of Wallets
Paste a list of addresses and amounts, see exactly what it will cost, and send. The part most tools do not tell you until your wallet does: every recipient who has never held your token needs an account created, and you pay for it.
The exact total — platform fee plus the real network cost — is quoted in the console before anything is signed.
The cost nobody mentions
A transfer to someone who already holds your token costs a fraction of a cent. A transfer to someone who does not costs about 0.00204 SOL, because a token account has to be created and funded first — roughly three hundred times more. For a few hundred fresh recipients that difference is more than the platform fee and the network fee combined. We show it before you sign, not after.
Why the list is capped per transaction
A Solana transaction has a hard 1232-byte limit, and each recipient costs bytes — more when their account has to be created. Rather than let a batch fail on-chain after you have paid, the form caps the list at what reliably fits and tells you to split larger sends. Every row is validated before anything is signed.
What gets rejected, and why you see it
Malformed addresses, amounts that are not plain numbers, zero amounts and duplicate addresses are all rejected with the line number, rather than quietly dropped. A silent drop is how people discover, days later, that twelve of five hundred recipients never received anything.
For very large lists
Beyond a few hundred recipients, a direct send stops being the right tool: the cost of creating accounts dominates and every recipient has to be paid for whether they ever engage or not. A claim-based airdrop shifts that cost to the people who actually want the token. That is on our roadmap.
Questions
- How much does a Solana airdrop cost?
- It depends almost entirely on how many recipients are new to your token. Recipients who already hold it cost a fraction of a cent each. Recipients who do not cost about 0.00204 SOL each in account rent, paid by you. The exact figure for your list is quoted before you sign.
- Can I send different amounts to different wallets?
- Yes. Paste address and amount per line, or switch on a single flat amount for everyone if the list is just addresses.
- What happens if one address in my list is wrong?
- Nothing sends. The list is validated first and the bad rows are named by line number so you can fix them. We would rather stop than send a partial airdrop you did not agree to.
- Can I airdrop a Token-2022 token with a transfer fee?
- Yes, but note that the fee applies to the airdrop itself — recipients receive the amount minus the transfer fee, exactly as they would on any other transfer.
