The Problem with Running Your Own Airdrop

The Problem with Running Your Own Airdrop

Distributing tokens at scale is harder than it seems. Many projects attempt to build their own airdrop infrastructure, only to run into significant operational and technical challenges:

• Custom vesting/airdrop contracts are risky – Writing and auditing a secure vesting or distribution contract takes time and is costly. 
• Claiming interfaces are complex – Users need a simple way to claim their tokens, which means building and maintaining a frontend that scales under heavy traffic.
• Scalability issues – When tens of thousands of users try to claim at the same time, poorly designed infrastructure can crash, leading to failed transactions, a poor user experience and a botched token launch at scale.
• Customer support is a hidden burden – Many users will struggle to claim their airdrop due to missing approvals, incorrect wallets, or high gas fees. Managing support requests is very time-consuming.
• Regulatory compliance matters – Ensuring addresses are not sanctioned (e.g., OFAC compliance) requires additional filtering, adding yet another layer of complexity.

These problems make setting up an airdrop campaign difficult. It is a full-scale project requiring engineering, legal, and operational knowledge.
