How to Airdrop an NFT (Polygon)

1. On Opensea, navigate to My Collections, then click Create a collection.

2. Submit the required information (Logo Image, Collection Name)
   Using the word “Airdrop” in your Collection Name may cause OpenSea to reject creation of the collection.
   Alternative examples for names that don’t include the word “Airdrop”

   • [Name]’s Stamp Collection
   • [Name]’s Thank You Stickers
   • [Name]’s Presents
3. In Blockchain, click on Ethereum, and switch the blockchain to Polygon

4. Click Create at the bottom of the page when you are ready to launch your collection.
If you go back to My Collections, you should be able to see a Polygon symbol on the bottom left of the collection instead of the Ethereum icon.
5. Click Add item on your collection page to add an NFT to the collection.

6. Fill out the required information for your airdrop as needed.
7. Increase the Supply of the Airdrop as needed (ex. number of Bidders on auction)

8. Create the Item when you are ready to mint the airdrop.
9. Click on the Item you want to airdrop and select Transfer

10. Enter the recipient’s Ethereum address.
See below on how to find wallet addresses.
You can also contact the recipient directly on social media to confirm their address.

• For Foundation Auctions

  You can navigate to a bidder’s Foundation profile by clicking on their name in the Provenance section of the nft. Below the user’s avatar there should be an Ethereum address that you can copy.
  

  

• For Opensea

  Under Item Activity on the NFT’s page, click the buyer’s name. You will easily be able to copy their wallet address or ENS address on their profile page.
11. Once you’ve confirmed the correct address, click Transfer
    You should be able to verify the quantity you’re transferring if Supply is more than 1
    

    
    Confirm the transfer interaction with Metamask.
    If you receive a prompt to “Switch your RPC to Polygon” please close the prompt, refresh the page and try again. You do not need to Switch if the collection is already on Polygon, this is a bug.
    Refresh the item page and double check you’ve transferred the item to the correct recipient.

Planning for Auctions with Airdrops

Announce the list date & reserve price of the piece ahead of time.
Let people know that there will be an airdrop for bidders & provide a preview of the gift.

There are people who like stamps that like to circulate this information with each other, and collectors can plan their funds accordingly if they really want it.
