How to Create a Solana Airdrop Claim Site

Short answer

A claim site lets qualifying wallets self-serve the airdrop. You compute a Merkle tree of eligible wallets and amounts, publish the root on-chain, and let holders claim by submitting a Merkle proof. This scales to millions of recipients cheaply.

You want to airdrop your Solana token to a specific list of wallets — but sending thousands of transfers is expensive and slow, and randomly distributing tokens is a compliance and support nightmare.

Key facts

  • Snapshot your target list using /snapshot-solana-token-holders or an on-chain query
  • Build the Merkle tree from (wallet, amount) pairs off-chain
  • Deploy a claim program or use Streamflow / Jupiter Airdrop for a hosted solution

What this means

A claim site lets qualifying wallets self-serve the airdrop. You compute a Merkle tree of eligible wallets and amounts, publish the root on-chain, and let holders claim by submitting a Merkle proof. This scales to millions of recipients cheaply.

Step-by-step

  1. Snapshot your target list using /snapshot-solana-token-holders or an on-chain query.
  2. Build the Merkle tree from (wallet, amount) pairs off-chain.
  3. Deploy a claim program or use Streamflow / Jupiter Airdrop for a hosted solution.
  4. Fund the claim vault with total airdrop supply.
  5. Publish a claim frontend (Next.js or similar) with wallet connection and Merkle proof lookup.
  6. Announce and monitor claim rate — set a claim deadline and reclaim unclaimed supply.

Common mistakes

  • Skipping Merkle proof — putting the entire wallet list on-chain is expensive.
  • Not funding the claim vault with the correct total.
  • Forgetting the reclaim function — unclaimed supply sits forever otherwise.

This does not

  • guarantee token safety
  • guarantee price performance
  • replace independent verification
  • provide financial advice

FAQ

Do I need to code a Solana program for an airdrop claim?

Not necessarily — hosted airdrop platforms like Streamflow or Jupiter provide ready-made claim programs.

How much does a Solana airdrop cost?

Merkle-tree claim site costs ~1–5 SOL to set up. Traditional per-wallet transfers cost 0.00001 SOL each — feasible for small lists, expensive for large ones.
