Reduce Airdrop Costs: How to Save Gas Fees When Sending Tokens
Jul 8, 2025
Introduction
Airdrops remain one of the most effective growth tools in crypto — rewarding communities, increasing engagement, and signaling transparency. But the real hurdle lies in the hidden on-chain costs. Sending tokens to hundreds or thousands of wallets quickly turns into a financial drain.
This post shows you how to reduce those gas fees with batch transfers and smart network choice. You’ll learn how to run scalable airdrops — without burning through your ETH.
Why Airdrops Get So Expensive
Think an airdrop is just a token send? Think again. On EVM chains like Ethereum, each wallet you send to equals one transaction, and each transaction costs gas.
For example, distributing tokens to 1,000 wallets on Ethereum means:
~1,000 transactions
~0.001–0.003 ETH per transaction
Total gas: ~1–3 ETH (~$2,000–$5,000)
Plus any platform fees if you’re using tools
For projects with tight budgets, this cost can cripple your marketing or community initiatives.
The Game-Changer: Batch Transfers (Multi‑Send)
Here’s the smart alternative:
With batch transfer tools, you upload a list of addresses (via CSV), approve one transaction, and the tool sends to all addresses in a single blockchain transaction.
What do you pay for?
One gas fee (instead of hundreds)
A small platform service fee
That simple shift reduces your total gas usage by around 90–99%.
OneClickSender: Powerful, Multi‑Chain, Low Cost
OneClickSender isn’t just another batch tool — it’s designed for multi-chain efficiency and cost savings. As of May 2025, it supports more than 28 EVM-compatible networks (plus TON Network), including:
Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum One & Nova, Base, Avalanche, Kaia, Linea, Scroll, opBNB, Zora, Unichain, Sonic, World Chain, Gnosis, Berachain, ApeChain, Celo, Ink, Ronin and more.
On each supported chain, OneClickSender charges a service fee for 600-address batch:
Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Linea, Scroll, Berachain, World Chain, Zora, Unichain, Sonic, Shape, Blast: 0.01 ETH
BNB Smart Chain / opBNB: 0.08 BNB
Polygon: 30 MATIC
Avalanche: 1 AVAX
The Open Network (TON): 5 TON for 200 transfers
This breadth of supported chains gives you more flexibility to match your airdrop network to your community’s activity — and save a lot of gas doing it.
Real-World Savings Comparison
Let’s compare costs when distributing to 600 addresses on Ethereum:
With MultiSender (or similar tools):
Service fee ~0.2 ETH + gas ~0.03 ETH = 0.23 ETH
With OneClickSender:
Service fee 0.01 ETH + gas ~0.03 ETH = 0.04 ETH
➡️ A savings of 0.19 ETH (~$600) in a single campaign. If you repeat this monthly, that’s a recurring saving of thousands of dollars.
Smart Chains = Smarter Savings
With support across dozens of networks, OneClickSender lets you choose a blockchain that suits your audience and budget.
By choosing the right chain for your users, you can drive your airdrop 💰 cost-per-transfer to under $5, even for 1,000 recipients.
