# Token Airdrop ### What is an airdrop? An airdrop is when you distribute tokens for free (or as rewards) to a set of wallet addresses, usually to spread awareness of the new token and reward early community supporters. Airdrops are also often used upon TGE to distribute investors tokens. It saves sending to hundreds of wallets and paying the gas fees, you let users claim the tokens themselves. ### Why do projects use airdrops? There are multiple reasons why you might want to use an airdrop: **Wider distribution:** Airdrops help spread token ownership amongst the community, instead of concentrating in a few wallets - which can build community trust. **Community growth:** Offering free tokens to the community rewards early adopters, building interest and attracting new users. **Marketing:** Airdrops create awareness and hype, in advance of the TGE when you want to create buying pressure, an airdrop draws attention to your token. **Smooth TGE release:** Instead of a manual distribution, using an airdrop for your TGE tokens ensures all tokens are claimable at the same time, creating a fair and transparent experience. ### How to manage an Airdrop campaign? With the right tools, designing an airdrop is a straightforward process.
1. **Define eligibility** Decide who qualifies to receive your token in the airdrop - this could be your community members, early adopters of your platform, users who have completed challenges or actions on your site, competition winners - the options are endless and should be customised to your campaign. 2. **Set up your Airdrop on Team Finance** Visit app.team.finance/airdrop and follow the steps to set up your Airdrop campaign - it’s been designed to make creating an airdrop possible in just a few minutes. Choose the token for the airdrop, input or upload the list of recipients, and choose the time and date when users can claim. 3. **Announce to your community** A Team Finance airdrop is fully automated, so once you’ve configured and set up your campaign, all that’s left to do is announce to your community sharing the link of where they can claim their tokens - from their Team Finance dashboard. ### Types of airdrops

Unclaimed tokens remain in the contract permanently - they cannot be retrieved or reclaimed, so please ensure your recipient list is accurate before creating the airdrop. 2.

This is ideal for rewarding different segments of your community and investors. 3. Where do users claim their tokens? Users can claim directly on Team Finance.
