How to create an airdrop campaign in Saleium

Updated Jun 21, 2026, 09:46 AM

To create an airdrop campaign, choose your asset (an ERC-20 token or the native coin), pick a send mode, add your recipients, review the preview, and deploy. Airdrops are available on every plan, including Free, and have no platform fee. You pay only network gas.

Who this is for: Operators who want to distribute a token or the native coin to many wallets.

What is an airdrop campaign?

An airdrop sends a token, or the native coin, to many wallets at once. Saleium offers two modes:

Instant send (MultiSender). Pushes tokens to everyone now. For an ERC-20, you first approve the total, then large sends are auto-batched into multiple transactions. You pay a small network fee per recipient. The native coin is instant-only.
Claim page (Merkle). Deploys a claim contract that you fund once. Recipients claim their own share and pay their own gas. You get a public claim page at https://saleium.io/airdrop/{chainId}/{distributorAddress}. This mode is best for large drops and is ERC-20 only. The native coin cannot use claim mode.

How do I pick the asset?

Decide first whether you are sending an ERC-20 token or the native coin of the chain.

An ERC-20 token works with both modes (instant send and claim page).
The native coin is instant-only. It cannot use the claim page mode.

How do I add recipients?

You have four ways to enter recipients. Pick whichever fits your list:

Paste address and amount. Enter one recipient per line in the form address, amount.
Send the same amount to everyone. Toggle this option and provide a single amount, then enter only the addresses.
Upload a CSV. Import a file up to 5 MB.
Import current holders. For an ERC-20, this snapshots the token's current holders into your address list. You then set the amount each holder receives.

Duplicate addresses are merged automatically.

How do I check the campaign before deploying?

Before you deploy, a preview shows you:

The recipient count
The total amount being sent
The batch count

Review these numbers carefully, especially the total, so you know exactly how much you are committing and how many batches an instant send will need.

How many recipients can I include?

Your plan sets the maximum recipients per campaign. If your list exceeds the limit, you will be prompted to upgrade. The current published recipient caps are:

Free ($0): Airdrop only. 1 airdrop, up to 100 recipients.
Growth ($99/mo): 5 airdrops, up to 1,000 recipients each.
Pro ($499/mo): 20 airdrops, up to 5,000 recipients each.
Business ($999/mo): 100 airdrops, up to 20,000 recipients each.
Enterprise (custom): custom limits. Book a call at https://saleium.io/enterprise.

These are plan limits, not on-chain caps. Annual billing saves 33%. You can review and change your plan on the Plans & Billing page. To upgrade for Growth, Pro, or Business, use in-app checkout (Stripe). If online checkout is not available, you will be told to contact [email protected].

What does an airdrop cost?

Airdrops have no platform fee. You pay only network gas. For an instant send that means a small network fee per recipient. For a claim page, recipients pay their own gas when they claim.

(Other Saleium products do carry a platform fee, but none of it applies to airdrops. For reference: a sale charges the project 15% of a successful raise, taken from the raised funds at withdrawal (it never reduces a contributor's allocation), plus up to a 10% project-set markup the project keeps, and a 5% refund fee paid by the contributor if a sale fails or times out. Staking charges 5% of rewards. Vesting charges 1% of the tokens when the project funds the pool, plus a small per-claim gas-token fee paid by the beneficiary. Every fee is stamped immutably into your contract at deploy, so the platform can never raise it later, and your plan can only lower it. The Plans & Billing page shows the exact rate for your plan.)

Common issues

A batched instant send failed partway through. The batches that already went out were paid. Before you retry, remove those already-sent recipients from your list so you do not pay them twice.
My recipient count is lower than my input. Duplicate addresses are merged into one entry, so the preview count can be lower than the number of lines you entered.
My list is too large for my plan. Exceeding your recipient cap prompts an upgrade. Move to a higher plan on the Plans & Billing page, or book a call for Enterprise at https://saleium.io/enterprise.
I want the native coin on a claim page. This is not supported. Native coin is instant-only. Use an ERC-20 if you need claim mode.
