# Airdropping NFTs

Airdropping NFTs refers to sending NFTs for free to a specific group of individuals or to the wider public. Airdrops can be used as a marketing strategy to promote a new project or to reward existing supporters of a project.

When you airdrop, you mint the NFT for them. This means by airdropping you will pay the gas fee and mint fee. You can batch airdrop up to 250 wallet addresses in one transaction.  All transactions including airdrop are optimized with our Smart Contracts.

### How to Airdrop  

From your NiftyKit dashboard, go to the **\[Metadata]** tab and click on **"Airdrop".**
