Airdrop NFTs to your web3 game players
The world of web3 gaming is rapidly expanding, and with it comes the opportunity to leverage non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to add unique value and monetization to your game. One exciting way to do this is through airdropping NFTs to your players, giving them access to special in-game items, content, or experiences.
Create An ERC1155 NFT Collection
To get started, go to the Flair dashboard and connect your wallet. Also, choose the chain you like to deploy your contract to from the drop-down menu.
Once you have done that, click on "Contracts" section in sidebar, choose "New contract" and select the “ERC-1155 NFTs“
After that, click on the "Create" button to begin the deployment process.
First of all, click on “Deploy“ section and deploy your contract.
Next, you will need to populate the metadata for your smart contract, such as the name, symbol and supply.
Select “Supply“ section and click on “change max supply“ and put the number of total NFTs available in your collection that you like to airdrop.
Congratulations, your smart contract is now deployed!
Creating an allowlist
In this next short step. we are going to create an allowlist for the players in our game that will receive this NFT airdrop.
Click on the "Lists" option in the sidebar.
Create a new list.
On the List page, paste the list of addresses or upload a CSV file containing the addresses.
This will allow you to create a list of players who are eligible to receive the NFT airdrop (also possible to specify if certain addresses need to mint more than 1 NFT)
Airdropping NFTs
And that brings us to the last step, which is about actually airdropping the NFTs to our players. Remember that these NFTs can be airdropped for multiple reasons such as:
Rewarding your players with special assets that can be used in the game
Allocating these NFTs for players that can unlock access to certain part of game
Click on “Airdrop“ section, select the allowlist you created from drop down menu in “Bulk airdrop“, click on “Select all addresses“ and then finally submit the transaction from the button at the bottom of the page.
And voila. You have successfully airdropped these NFTs to your players. If you have forgotten some players and you want to manually airdrop them the NFT at a later point, you can use the “Manual airdrop“ section.
